New weird capitalism innovation
My job gives me telehealth through an app as a benefit. But now, when I am sick, they want me to use their weird app rather than my primary care provider
I think they think they are helping rather than being irresponsible with my health but, odd

Cyberpunk 2020's setting explicitly says that the Cyberpunks sucked. They ended up selling out, and becoming part of the garbage system. And so the next generation had to try twice as hard.
Why did they set the videogame in 2077? And keep that canon?

Coming up on 8 months sober
I promised myself in March that I would be sober until the end of homestays + 1 month, at the bare minimum. Then my sister sent me a beer for my birthday, which I drank. So May 24 until today without a drink.
This feels like the worst choice I've ever made.

I'm sorry, friend. You know why you did it, and I believe it was a good reason. Of course you can reexamine it now.

I mean - I can reexamine it - but I think it's probably incorrect.
Part of it is that this time requires more awareness of me, and me to to be available. Pregnant wife and 20 month old kid and all that. I gotta be *aware* and can't let myself go that far.
Ya know.
But thanks.
I am also just kinda updating things to feel like I said it

@TheSturgington 1959 is a long time ago, but I am super interested in this book (looking for an epub)

@HippyWizard It's not recent, but it has a large reach and AFAIK is considered an important work (if an aged one).

Your IdP must provide a unique primary email address for each user. In some IdPs, the primary email address might not be a real email address. For example, it might be a Universal Principal Name (UPN) that only looks like an email. Please, don't document like this.
It looks like the fault of the field namer and a technical writer without enough background

People advocating The Cloud: "Self hosted stuff is full of ancient plugins and is never maintained"
Do they have a sense of how cloud deployments look after 6 months to a year of work?

But also - you can either automate the expensive way, or automate... more cheaply
That's true. I love my raspberry4 server. It's hosted at home, and it is cheap to run. The only thing I need a off site vps for is email.

How is this person to figure out why it's not working, without at least skimming the error output? Hahaha.
Yeah, eventually he figured out the warning was "you didn't import the authentication you defined"

I'm always going to be surprised
I have a manila envelope in my house. With a 50 page report from the police accountability board. Saying that police should pull weapons on anyone they suspect are mentally ill.
I will never not be surprised.

Ok, so, I really don't know if I like Player Facing games, where the GM doesn't roll dice.
Person boxed in by enemies and my first thought is "Kick their asses, you'll probably roll enough partial successes to rarely take damage, you'll be fine"

@DuanBailey Definitely wasn't *directed*, but I think I made most of my thoughts clearer (although exhaustedly garbled) last night
Ok, I like the #Remarkable2 tablet as an eReader. I also like it as a writing pad.
This is bullshit. Why is a device this nice? Am I just gonna have to admit that sometimes people make good technology?

@Tracid089 Also I think Pokemon Let's Go is Pokemon Go attached or something?

@HippyWizard They’re semi-related. My understanding (I could be wrong) is that Pokémon Let’s Go can get you the Pokémon Go exclusive Pokémon Meltan - but Pokémon Go does not benefit Let’s Go at all - or maybe you can transfer across games regardless?
there's just no *point* to these people
no platform you give them will lead to them saying anything other than "help, help, i'm being censored" and "[incoherent racist noises]"

@HippyWizard None of the issues with Parler ever would have happened if they had a form of identity verification implemented.

Bingo. This is the ultimate manifestation of something started long ago, by the John Birch Society onward. The modern right had a history of selling lies or half-truths before, they just did it with a slight whiff of professionalism, allowing a despot to bring it to it's natural state on January 6th.

Bah - figuring out how to get ssh keys into my friendica chroot and server was such a pain
This entry was edited (2 weeks ago)
were you doing that from windows or linux? I think I did that through windows with the following:

https://www.chrisjhart.com/Windows-10-ssh-copy-id/
I have a linux server with a chroot, and a different user, so I couldn't even copy my agent or something. And it wanted valid keys for *github*, which, uh... bah.
Wasn't just copying the keys, was more figuring out which of many contexts they were being used in, and which user wanted the permissions. But thanks.

@efagirard I am personally pretty unhappy with the amount Arch Linux and SystemD enter my life, Linux is really falling over these days
The seditionists that invaded the Capitol today wore a Punisher logo. I say @Marvel needs to either aggressively enforce their trademark so it isn’t printed everywhere or abandon the Punisher completely. You can’t allow your characters to be used by terrorists.
