You see, the problem, publishers, is that your “business” should not have been a business in the first place.

HOW EXCITING…

said no one ever.

You forgot the third option, “Or ignore the courts.”

I’m 63. I’m about as buckled as I’m gonna get.

OMG. There’s a name for it? I have ALL THAT OTHER STUFF!!!

I’m so happy you posted, I’m going deep dive tomorrow!

An inner voice. My wife and son both talk about options and choices like they’ve discussed things with another person.

I have to go with plan A. There is no second thought.

Yippee-ki-yay, Mister Falcon.

Where’s the neutron love?

“The quarter-million dollar penis”.

That’s like 100k an inch!

Imagine when we find out bees were the only thing holding it all together.

Aaaaand, it’s over.

Bees have been under assault for a while.

Come on. This was really the trigger?

I’m retired and doing hobby projects in Python and java, so I get choices (including not playing) but wtf, big tech figured out how to take over open source?

That’s particularly evil.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

Like, just BRAND NEW, leaning baby programmer!

Nope, not that. Haven’t earned the name ‘programmer’ at all.

Just a guy who is starting to learn and is probably going to abandon learning but is going to try anyway and is trying not to fuck up in the beginning! Guy.

Plus I’m 63. So learning anything at all is like nailing boards to sand.

Maybe I learned it, but that was last week. Can’t expect me to remember last week shit.

So wait.

GitHub is Microsoft?

EDIT: Okay, fuck that. I was just getting all set up there but not now.

I am trying to decide between PyCharm and VS Code for my Python IDE. I was leaning toward VS Code, but they’re Microsoft too, aren’t they?

The richest man in the world, who has only ONCE paid anything approaching a 20% tax rate and crowed like he was a PHILANTHROPIST when he did, is removing all social programs that are a safety net for the poorest and most desperate among us.

Empathy? Sympathy? They are vampires.
