I’ve seen a lot of people, including servers and diners, defending tipping culture.

Sadly.

I’m on the side of tipping while in a tipping culture, but only because of the crap way servers are payed and they’re the only ones hurt by protesting through refusing to tip. Otherwise, it’s a practice that needs to die.

Not only that, but they sure made it sound like you were buying the house

I’ve used Windows 11 a lot

I’ve made all the changes

Ultimately, switching to Linux is what it took to get rid of the garbage, and didn’t have to disable anything on the new system.

Can we not defend this bullshit, please? Or dismiss it as not that bad? It’s bad. Really bad. Stop pretending it’s okay because you can go through a dozen settings, half a dozen registry hacks, and a handful of third party programs to make the system work almost as well as it did a decade ago.

Joking aside, I have a lot of respect for quality QA, and developers who actually listen to and work with their target audience and operations teams

As a sysadmin, the sysadmin parts are 100% true

You don’t actually need an image to root a phone, that’s not what rooting is… It’s just gaining full administrative privileges over the device

That sounds like a thinly veiled threat…

I hate those comments… I can’t say they’re the most useless garbage out there, but they’re damned close.

I’m using Firefox so I’m already using one with all of those features, and the added benefit that it won’t eat my RAM and spy on me

Yeah, reading it again and I can see that interpretation…

This is why you shouldn’t rely on yourself alone for proofreading your writing, I probably could have read that a hundred times and not seen another way to read it without someone else pointing it out

I guess, if you ignore the comma…

I don’t even know how to respond to this considering it has nothing to do with what I said…

Yes, I think we all like to blame git

I think advanced git knowledge, like RegEx, is the exception, while the norm is to know the tiny handful of day to day useful bits

No.

Wait… It says it wants to give context and ask follow up questions to help you think critically etc etc etc, but how the hell is just searching Google going to do that when it itself pointed out the bias and misinformation that you’ll find doing that?

It’s truly bizarre

Two examples I’m aware of for that last part, I believe, are the TV shows House M. D. and Quantum Leap. For House, the intro music in most places you can find it has been replaced by the music in the end credits, and with Quantum Leap, i think a number of songs on the show have been swapped out due to rights and licensing

I’m not 100% sure on either of those if my memory is correct or the reasoning matches, but I do know there are other examples

And this is exactly why I wouldn’t do my own, I had no idea either of those were legal/possible

What claim, that I probably could? I didn’t say anything at all about it being easy, it would be a pain in the ass and involve a lot of checking the RFC, but I could probably make one that accurately represents the spec if I wanted to take the time, and even then I’m not exactly confident I would hit every edge case.

But why would I go to that hassle when there are well designed and vetted ones available?

I believe you missed the point I was making

And this right here is a great example of why simple basic RegEx is rarely adequate

At the very least, should be something like

^[^@\s]+@([^@\s.]+\.)+[^@\s.]+$

I’m like 99% sure I missed at least a few cases there, and will say “please don’t use this for anything production”
