Do you negotiate your salary or the price of a car? Same thing to me
Given how wide a range your response are in the post, what you call “advertising” is better described as “communication”. No?
What does “divesting chrome” mean in practice? You have chromium, which is open source, and the google “hat” it wears to make chrome. So google’s gotta give the hat to someone else?
Shit dude. I’m having a smoke right now
Say your expert’s name is Kayla. Start by just saying “Kayla”. Pause about half a second until she makes full eye contact, until she acknowledges you. Then ask your question. By doing this, it focuses the conversation on you and Kayla. If Paul interupts you can politely say “hold on Paul, I want to hear what Kayla has to say”. It’s not impolite because you “set up the rules” for the question when you started.
Yes-ish. Work on at all, yes. Have full cross compatibility? Absolutely not. There are so many things that won’t retain formatting or features which plain don’t exist. For me, impress vs. powerpoint is a complete no go. I have to use office for work, so I just use powerpoint in a vm when I need it. And good luck ever working on anything with someone else. Office is an ever moving target. I sincerely, and unfortunately, doubt there will ever be a FOSS drop in replacement.
Shut up! As in close your mouth and stop talking!
Fuck openai. Think about what it does to the environment

If you are getting a new phone, destroy that one. Burn it, run it over with your car, put it in a blender. Whatever. If you don’t want the crypto, don’t pass it on. End the cycle, and have fun doing it.

Our school playground didn’t have a rubber ground. Or mulch. Or wood chips. No. We had gravel. Like little rocks gravel. And a swing set. A big one. Recess for us was jumping as far as we could into gravel.
We also had wooden monkey bars that gave you splinters. We tried to skip bars, and if we were lucky, land on the gravel. If we weren’t lucky, we would fall into a hornet’s nest. Hornets loved those old wooden playgrounds.
But perhaps the greatest piece of school yard entertainment was the steel merry go round. We’d have one of us try to hang off of it horizontally with 3 or 4 of us sping it. Lose your grip and fall off? Where would you land? You guessed it. Face first into the gravel.
That thing would get hot enough in the summer to fry an egg, but as much as we enjoyed eating our breakfast that way, we lost it before the end of 8th grade. A kid from a neighboring school crawled under theirs and tried to grab the axel while it was turning. It ripped his hand clean off. But still, those were the days.
Listen yes. Hear not always
I keep a spare change of clothes in my office for exactly this reason
Are you saying life begins at fingerprints?
If I wanted shit from you I’d squeeze your head
