Oh my sweet summer child.

Amazon.

You are clearly missing the point of the statement.

If I, a developer, stepped away from a project because I wanted to protect myself: the bridge could be mended from my side regardless of if I was willing to do so (…why hello secret police!) The termination of the bridge from the opposite side means I have lost my strategic value.

As I implied: putting personal feelings aside here- this was a net positive for those in Russia presently given the political climate.

If hes not on a paylist for state sponsored propaganda he should be. That was insufferable reporting on the level Id expect from fox news.

Putting aside personal feelings about this move- considering the current situation in Russia… this move may well actually protect some developers lives. There are people taking long walks off of short balconies because they didn’t kiss the ring. If I was a developer in that country I’d personally be pretty stoked I was off the short list.

ISPs won’t do shit that would affect their bottom line. If they play ball with this it’s a slippery slope to mass cullings of their subscriber base.

so they can go fuck themselves.

They didn’t need your permission. That’s how they keep breaking records for lowest IQ. ;)

Hey someone’s gotta keep the average IQ of a lawyer bell curve balanced. I’m pretty sure the 5th circuit is the equivalent to “Florida Man” in the legal space.

Probably Xen. Maybe proxmox. Both had tools to assist with migration.

So that sounds exceptionally awful. You have any more info on that?

… why are they always so goddamn hot.

One piece digitally drawn in an hour or two maybe. Otherwise it is likely premade, generated, or not their source. Yeah- if you are talking backgrounds for a phone they could be more abstract or start with a base but for 45 bucks? That buys you an hour or two of that artists time- three if they like the idea or you.

If you know an artist doing commissions that cheap they are depressed, desperate, or want to fuck you.

Nah it’d be cheaper to commission the artist for a dozen or so pictures for 45 bucks:

First you need to blow some ungodly amount of money on breaking the time/space barrier… Then travel back to the 1920s and find a starving artist. Then pitch him 45 bucks for some art. Easy! 45 bucks to them is like 800 of our today dollars.

Sarcasm aside- it seems people really are disconnected on how much a commission or art costs. Sure you can buy prints reasonably priced but any commission that isn’t a speedy doodle is going to clock in a helluva lot higher.

It wouldn’t. It isn’t.

Dark humor has its place and purpose. You aren’t offended and if you are- get some thicker skin or don’t participate. We don’t need to sterilize the world to protect your delicate “sensibilities.”

Yes that would be why caddyshack was over the top and funny.

I dunno the video seems to be of a groundskeeper just doing his normal rounds.

Coulda been worse… in a very wet … “I hope we wanted to paint that wall” sort of way.

This is Sarah Connor we are talking about. You’d fail the first time and she’d shoot you immediately.
