Metro Bank did something like this to me.

predicted seats would be what each party would get if an election were held today.

And they’d get so many seats with such a small portion of the vote because FPTP is a shit system we’ve clung to for hundreds of years

At the mo we’re looking at a Reform led coalition with the Tories according to polling

Scary times. Luckily there’s still 4 years of watching the trainwreck unfolding in the US so hopefully the electorate will be put off reform. Labour also need to do a lot of work on their policy platform and messaging too

I work for a multi billion multi national medical technology company at their office in central london. On day one after i got the job they gave me a brand spanking new top of the line macbook pro worth over £3k. I asked them for a bag for it and the IT guy who gave it to me looked like i slapped him in the face.

“Am i supposed to walk around central london with 3k of macbook in a plastic shopping bag?”

He produced some weird fabric envelope thing from a cupboard.

Luckily i’m sad enough to turn up to work with my own laptop in my own bag so i did have a bag but he had no way of knowing that

figured as much

Here’s a horrific example of bash and JS mashed together

echo "console.log(process.argv[2])" | node - "Please and thank you"

or bash and python if that’s your thing?

echo "import sys; print(sys.argv[1])" | python - "Please and thank you"

Or Bash, JS AND Python if you’re feeling extra masochistic

echo "console.log(\"import sys; print(sys.argv[1])\")" | node | python - "Please and thank you"

i can say thank you in more languages than i can say please in.

perhaps that says something about me

Obligado

Dankeschön

Merci Beaucop

Thank you

Gracias

Oh good, yet another shitty twitter clone.

I don’t get why they keep developing separate ones. at some point it has to be quicker to just roll mastodon and defederate from all other instances

/b/ is just logspammers and porn now.

And the 15 min wait to post anything has noticeably slowed down any sort of discussion. Posts on /b/ can last for up to a week now because of it

did they actually do layoffs? I think where i am a lot of the shops just let the staff levels atrophy naturally down to the level where they wanted them.

you must have scrolled a long way to get to a 7 month old post

yep, reddit was RIF as far as i’m concerned. if RIF is dead then so is reddit

yep, a lot of apps are just repackaged chrome running a web page.

which begs the question to companies that require use of the app instead of just having a working website i can use on my copy of chrome/firefox that’s already on my phone…

why do you need hardware access to my device?

if you’re vaguely interested in and understand basic programming you could get into software QA.

it’s fairly easy to get into in my experience, you’re generally not bombarded with ludicrous CS questions at interview and you can move into other software roles later if you wish.

confident coders in QA are like gold dust imo.

That said the tech job market is in kind of a slump atm though so do your research

I’m waiting for decent support for the snapdragon x elite chips. From what i can tell from discourse online it’s still a very rough experience with linux.

I don’t want to drop £1500 on a laptop i can’t really use.

Anno 1800 just inhales my free time

absolute banger of a song btw

basically you get banned for arguing against tankies.

as for which instance; where you from? what you into?

i still lurk a lot. i have a rule against posting there though… which admittedly i did break recently, but only to plug lemmy. otherwise no posts/comments there in two years

Yeah, what the other guy said. lemmy.ml is run by tankies. best to move

i moved from .ml about a year ago because of their moderation… “policies”
