I’ve had a dig (I have no idea what I’m doing) but in this ASIC registry, seems to show they filed to try and wind up the company, and that was rejected? Again, not a lawyer. (See the “Documents” section)

Edit to add: And they still have their trademark registered, so it clearly still exists haha how bizarre.

Someone should start twitter.com.au using this argument

As did I. Though if it was, I think he’s misunderstood what Dark Brandon even meant.

While I know that these days, bugs in code can cause real-world harm (personal info leaks, superannuation records lost, lol google), I find it humorous to think of the equivalent, even worse outcomes in my discipline (chemical/process engineering).

“Didn’t do any checks, fuck it, I know this calculation is fire 🔥”

Later: 🔥🔥💥

So, if you plan an arson as a protest, is that 8 years or 18 years?

Thing is, you usually define all your variables. At least we do in engineering (of physical variety, rather than software).

Mostly because we can’t expect everyone reading the calculation to know, and that not everyone uses the same symbols.

Not explaining each variable is bad practice, other than for very simple things. (I do expect everyone and their dog reading a process eng calc to know PV=nRT, at a minimum).

Just like (in my opinion) not defining industry specific abbreviations is also bad practice.

Mathematicians don’t do this? Shame on them.

Username checks out

Aquaphobia, automobile, hexadecimal.

This is all the words I could be bothered copying from the wiki article haha.

There are many affronts to God for your enjoyment here:

You’d be surprised how much of the belief was added as expansion packs by the early church.

The painting is just another notable addition to the cinematic universe.

We don’t talk about the rival fanfic, or the original book fans. It’s not as good as ours. And our main character in the sky is totally different.

Must be on purpose, because it’s what caught my eye to click on this post lol

It is truly awful

Problems caught early are much easier to fix than problems caught later. This applies to any project (I’m not a programmer, but an engineer in the traditional sense).

Just “doing it” without coordination and review is a great way to waste a bunch of effort down the line with re-work.

Edit: typo

I am dreading the day my company makes me “upgrade” my windows 10 laptop to 11. I really hope they’re paying for legacy support for 10.

I right click, soooooo often when managing files at my job. I’m going to pull out my hair if I can’t change the “see more” behaviour.

Also, I’m a top taskbar user (that’s where programs put their tabs, it just makes sense!)

I don’t know how they could fuck up windows this badly.

The only issue is they have not enough storage capacity for the excess.

Something tells me this isn’t going to fly in Australia, unless they’re willing to be giving out refunds for bricked phones.

Lol whoops

I realise I have Google account, convenience at the cost of privacy. Just irks me that it’s not opt in because if it were, their system would be less useful, and we can’t give people informed consent can we…

Wait, not only the POTUS can pardon people (to me, already insanity waiting for more abuse), but your state governors TOO?

Jesus Christ.

Here’s the trick (maybe): “Don’t you know that WhatsApp is owned by Meta and collecting information on your chat metadata (who you chat to, when, your contacts, their contacts).”

Tell them to get Signal. If there’s any country on this planet where convincing people to use Signal is easier, it must be Germany. GMaps streetview was banned there until recently, everyone uses fake names on Facebook, if they even made one in the first place.

Surely they must be amenable to Signal

This comment made me realise I don’t really know where the border between particle and molecule is.

Pretty sure fragrances are mostly giving off volitle molecules, rather than particles.

The place I work in, reply all is the standard, and you pick your recipients diligently.

It’s really annoying when you cc people and then the person only responds to you, and you have to forward it to everyone else cc’d.

Luckily it’s only external people who don’t reply all.
