I concur, if only because it’s also Dutch for “sausage”, which I find highly appropriate in this case.

“I also like to live dangerously.”

Experiences vary. My 67 year old mother requires my help every few months because Ubuntu managed to fuck up itself again. Or because she managed to do so. I wish I could switch her to something more stable (fuck, even Windows didn’t give here that much trouble back in the days), but due to an accident she can’t handle a change like that anymore. So fuck my life, I’m stuck with supporting that piece of shit excuse of a Linux distro.

So is comparing a Microsoft bug to the highlight of the Apollo project and conveniently ignoring all the setbacks that both led up to and followed it.

I don’t mind bashing Microsoft where warranted, but this just feels like cherry picking from a long list of technical and procedural failures.

Apollo 1:

Fire, I smell fire. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Outlook malfunctioning is extremely tame compared to the issues the early space program ran in to. Somehow this meme really rubs me the wrong way.

You missed the joke. That was a quote from Deus Ex, the game depicted in the screenshot. 🙂

And the spacing. So weird and unnatural.

Why? It’s completely natural that people tend to distance themselves from anything that smells like decomposition and rot.

There is never a reason to not back in, and the end result is always a better parking job and an easier exit.

With the exception of diagonally placed parking spots next to a one-way lane, like the 30-60 degree ones here: https://www.dimensions.com/collection/parking-lot-layouts.

If the lane is wide enough you might be able to back up into a 60 degree one, but I’d hardly qualify it as a better parking job or easier exit.

With regular parking lots I fully agree that backing up is usually far superior.

If they wanted to live, they shouldn’t have signed up to kill people for the empire. Instead of following orders, they can refuse them.

Guess at least it’s good to see there isn’t any difference between Americans and Russians after all.

This indeed ☝🏻

Good, get the fuck out of here and report to /c/dadjokes@lemmy.world on the double. 😋

Haha, don’t worry, no harm done. Maybe I was a bit too subtle in hindsight.

That’s Poe’s Law by the way.

It was meant tongue-in-cheek, you seem to be taking it much more seriously than I intended it to be. 🙂

But in reality is not done because it simply doesn’t bring any benefit.

Fully agree that there is absolutely no benefit to NAT66, it only causes enormous headaches. I sincerely hope nobody uses it these days, this poor bastard however did manage to find a VPS provider that used NAT66 back in 2018: https://blog.apnic.net/2018/02/02/nat66-good-bad-ugly/ 🤢

Have I got news for you. ☹️

Edit: I’ll just add an ‘/s’ for good measure, as apparently I was too subtle. Be sensible, don’t do NAT66.

The plug on that thing is absolutely terrifying, super flimsy and so small you have to almost touch the prongs to plug it in.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the secret of building appliances that outlast their owners.

He ends the thing prematurely right after

No shit, they were going proactive on those new chemicals after all.

I find this image extremely offensive. Flathead screws are a curse on humanity and need to die out.

Who’s going to be king of the brown hill?

… what a day to be literate. Enough internet for today.

Well, it did help that they used a simple serial connection back then and didn’t require any advanced electronics. Just a bunch of resistors and basic stuff like that, all relatively large components that are easy to solder with what I had back then. I’m not sure how easy it would be these days with USB.
