You’re not alone in that.
I also reread your comments sometimes with a deep sense is satisfaction.
(I’m kidding. Although I did check your comment history to make sure you weren’t a monster before even making that joke.)

Okay, I’m actually kidding about misunderstanding which bit of my comment your reply was to.
Yes, it’s great that MineTest is open source! And the mod community is impressive.
My comments are pure Internet gold. I’m actually only here to read my own comments. It helps me remember how brilliant and humble I am.
My posts help people discover MineTest. It’s pretty great, and it’s free.
Lunchtime, doubly so!
Richard Simmons rocks at least as hard as that flaming skeleton, in his own unique ways.
But they were Nazi dogs.
I had this exact conversation, and used this argument, with my own parents.
It must have worked. I was allowed to play Wolfenstein, anyway.
I would love to see the certificate authority model become less and less important.
“Can you write a small check to an organization we are all pretty sure isn’t outright malicious?”
Is a surprisingly good pragmatic protection against malicious SSL certificates, I will admit.
But there’s significant flaws with the approach - notably power dynamics and creation of large scary targets for bad actors.
I would love to see CA acceptance move from PASS/FAIL to a dynamic risk score, that is based on my own browsing behavior (calculated solely within my browser).
If I spend 90% of my time browsing domains at example(dot)mycorporation(dot)com, there’s a great chance that anything new signed by the same authorities can be automatically trusted.
It would still put a lot of power in the hands of Amazon and Google, but would reduce that power in scale to the amount of services they’re actually providing to each user.
That’s heartbreaking. Radio Shack was so fun, while it lasted.
The Halo Anniversary collection shines on SteamDeck. It was my first purchase after getting mine, I think.
I’m sure its size will have inflated beyond what I want.
I have the same problem with phones.
I assume there’s some kind of growth formula I’m supposed to have learned about and started taking, but I don’t go to the right parties. /sarcasm
I like that we don’t see a lot of defense in Goa’uld technology. They believe that the only threats to them will come through the gate network that they (until recently) control completely.
Their weapons are purpose built to oppress slaves.
Their chief forms of defense, when truly threatened, are retreat and burying a wormhole.
It makes Stargate one of the most plausible “humanity resists advanced aliens” plots - because the Goa’uld are caught on their heels, tactically by Earth’s wormhole being activated by humans who shouldn’t have found it and (the Goloa’uld thought) shouldn’t have had the wits to activate it.
“Pay no attention to any warp 10 lizard children abandoned on a rock somewhere!”
Netflix can’t do what got them to the top.
They can’t grow that way but they could easily hold on and remain profitable, popular and successful.
They were well on their way to enjoying “Kleenex” or “Oreo” stable market success, but their leadership and shareholders apparently aren’t satisfied with winning.
I’ll take “Organizations that made it to the top by doing something different, only to fall under leadership that doesn’t understand what made them successful and descend into ruins” for 200, Alex.
Seriously, Jeopardy team - this is a rich category:
If we’re stretching the joke further (and by all means we should, this is a delight), there’s also always “Final Fantasy TicTacs: Advance”
Walgreens went off the rails with shitty pharmacy practices awhile back. It was surreal.
“Your life saving medication is in another castle, Mario. Go fuck yourself.” sums up the experience.
So yeah, good riddance, Walgreens.
opens up a Pandora’s box of issues
It sure does!
The Marvel series ‘Agent X’ actually addresses some of this with Deadpool fighting to regain his skills and memories after being nearly atomized.
I’ve not worked with a marketing team where that would work, but maybe it will for some.
I’ve never been anywhere that I thought it would work, but it ultimately did, almost everywhere.
I’ve found it takes a few iterations, but the marketing folks in on it love being the ones who actually can reliably deliver on their promises.
It doesn’t work for the marketers that promise whatever they please without talking to dev, but I don’t find them to be worthwhile professional allies, so I don’t sweat it.
It doesn’t change the “massive customer will only renew if” scenario, though.
Very true. It doesn’t help with that case, and that one does happen. I’ve had the best luck saying “we don’t do that, but we’re scrambling to add it” in that situation.
I can’t say I’m shocked. But I am disappointed.
