Maybe I should at least reserve my real name on it…

*gets asked for mobile number

Nope, don’t care that much.

I’m in two minds about that. One the one hand, yes, of course - as all the original COBOL folks die off, the skills will be even rarer and thus worth more.

On the other hand, if we keep propping up old shit, the businesses will keep relying on it and it’ll be even more painful when they do eventually get forced to migrate off it.

On the other other hand, we know it works, and we don’t want to migrate everything into a series of Electron apps just because that’s popular at the moment.

It’s like they’re all reading the same copy of ‘how not to be a garbage human being’ and doing the exact opposite of each lesson…

Labour don’t want to talk about Brexit because they’re already on course to win the election by a landslide

Are they? Do they have any major policies or plans at all, or are they just relying on “well at least we’re not the Tories, right?”

I realise I don’t read the news much any more (because it’s depressing AF), but I’ve not seen anything to make me think the morons that voted for Brexit, and then confirmed it by voting in Johnson would do anything different this time around. Sure, they’re turkeys voting for Christmas, but they’ve done it twice, why assume they’ll learn the error of their ways?

Sure, but we didn’t go to war with another country, we just stuck a screwdriver in our own ear and kept twisting it.

Boris Johnson (on camera): “there are no cameras here”

Man (pointing) “there’s one right there!”

Lying. It’s like breathing for these assholes.

That was my first thought when I read this:

The Pin isn’t always recording or even listening for a wake word, instead requiring you to manually activate it in some way
