@ChipotleTweets why am I being charged sales tax on a delivery to Delaware?

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@crystalwizard Do you have any real bugs in mind or are you just bitching and whining because they suggested that people donate their time to a completely free, largely volunteer project?

@microsoft and absolute dogshit interactions with humans, name a more iconic duo

Like, sorry I don't use this email for much, but this is an absolutely appalling and unacceptable response. 0% chance you're going to get $30 from me to buy a game I've already purchased.

@elianoayounes Because using technology to surveil and murder people is bad and "fuck them" is not a rude statement.

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@ssankar Combine our actual hero veterans with AI slop? What possible "mission" could that be a part of that's actually good for the general interest?

Anybody else remember when Prime 2-day shipping meant you got an item two days after ordering it?

Pepperidge Farms remembers. @amazon

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@BernieSanders Spoiler alert: He won't.

@BladeoftheS Didn't you hear? Everybody knows someone whose cousin's spouse's Canadian friend's brother had to wait a while for care, and that means socialized medicine is bad. Definitely totally real stories that actually happened

Oh yeah, and nobody has to wait for medical care in the US

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@ryanstrug @SaasyEngineer @shenetworks That's not a thing, Skippy. If it were, though, yes, I'd absolutely be trying to protect it.

PP provides medical care. That is, very simply, a fact. Facts do not care about your feelings.

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@ryanstrug @shenetworks I mean you can disagree with facts and reality all you want. There's a word for that: "Wrong"

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@natsfert "The most pro-cannabis" Republican is a lot like being the tallest wooden roller coaster.

Like, sure, maybe it's true, but who cares when you can find a whole bunch of better options simply by using metal - or looking at not Republicans.

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@_filtra Sort of. I think the type system is the big feature for me. Being able to encode a lot of business logic into types saves a ton of time testing.

But I think it'd be moot without memory safety. I don't want to have to think about those types of issues in e.g. my web service.

@HighnessOphelia Because universal healthcare is such an impossibly difficult problem that only every other developed country in the world has been able to figure it out

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@Th3Menacer @tashenubaste Name one thing Trump did that benefited a majority of Americans.

I'll wait.

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@TheTedAllen Not actually though, that McD's was closed for the day and the "customers" who came through the drive through were effectively actors

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@zakarum4 @rustlang Seems weird to choose a functional tool like a programming language based on how "ugly" it is

[Mike Cronce @Floppie7th]

@_filtra I think so, in the same way that knives are the only tools chefs really care about. Spatulas and graters are typically kitchen supplies; the chef brings their good knives.

Similarly, it's less common for programmers to care enough about their mouse or chair to bring their own

@Bornnabarn @GuntherEagleman @KamalaHarris There are other jobs. There aren't other habitats.

@kuberdenis Mostly only official docs. Occasionally a Stack Overflow answer. Blog posts can make interesting reading but rarely useful documentation. LLM answers cost more time than they save.

@atensnut @elonmusk Trump is an aspiring dictator. If you believe otherwise, you're a victim of a cult. Sorry to break it to you.
