It’s a date

Thanks neighbor. When this is all over we’ll share a beer and I can walk you through iptables and DNS

Anyone else remember when Phil Schiller bored the Macworld expo to death explaining why RISC was better than CISC?

One thing you’re missing is computer networking. “Programming” is extremely vague, but being able to spin up a service and get it connected to the people who need it is way more common and important.

The selfhosted communities are great for this information. Every sort of human connection, even old cartoons you stole, is important.

If I had that much time I’d just finish him on acorn and apples and smoke him for a dozen hours.

Wake up kids, it’s half past the youth. Ain’t nothing really changing but the date.

Beautiful fjords. No wonder the parrot was pining for them.

Pigboy is worried how he’ll taste with Carolina BBQ sauce

(I don’t actually want to eat him. God knows what’s in his feed.)

Yep. Has been ever since the Golgafrinchan B Ark crashed here and killed the native population and broke the computer the size of a planet.

Slartibartfast is devastated.

Dude’s country is being attacked by the “second army in the world” and he says “I don’t need a ride I need ammunition.”

I’m amazed his giant brass balls even fit in his pants.

Churchill and Roosevelt could not hold a candle to this man.

I’m also from that era of the Internet and you’re so right about smaller communities being better. One great example was Wil Wheaton’s phpBB forum. Probably a hundred active users including Wil and we all got along and more or less policed ourselves.

(Plus I helped him out with some car trouble. Let me repeat that: I helped Wesley Crusher with an engineering problem. One of my proudest moments.)

One of the interesting decisions that they do is that rulebreaking posts are rarely ever deleted. If a person is probated (temp ban) or banned, their comment stays up with a “(User was Probated/Banned for this post)” edited into the post so you can see, and hopefully learn, from the bad behavior. In addition, there’s a ‘Wall of Shame’ section where you can see everyone who’s been actioned against, who the moderator was and the moderation reason.

That’s a really great feature.

Imagine how much harder the lives are for the mods of /r/nintendo

Yeah, banning the word “Luigi” is pretty rich coming from a former mod of /r/jailbait

Yes but in my version it was grasshoppers and not crickets

Americans glorify violence every year on the Fourth of July
