This person arrives at 10, has a 1.5hour lunch, talks loudly around other people, leaves at 2 because needs to pick up the dog from the dog sitter, complains people are never in the office, only shows up 2 days a week if you're unlucky, 0 days if you're lucky.

Piling on another comment to say that lurking here feels much nicer than on reddit. The comments are actually worth reading a lot of the time. RiF going down was a dark day, but Jerboa and Lemmy make everything light.

That can also be true. But what if corruption was a feature of capitalism. Not saying that it is unique to capitalism.

What if... Capitalism alwayd leads to unchecked corruption.

Sounds like they have bins inside. That is responsible no?

You have the right to purchase something, doesn't mean you have the right of convenience.

Patents. Its always patents.

There is probably some IP there that can make printers worse for consumers too.

The modern interpretation, sure.

And agreed, "random, you might like this" is not as random as "here is a page on red food colouring"

That's why I said seeded. Seeded from noise. The random number generator (function) is still an algorithm..

In comsci, there are no real random numbers. They are all seeded psuedo-random number algorithms. (Unless you integrate with some third party random as a service setup)

Dont worry, lemmings worry about some shutdown every other week. Been here since the API closures, and its quite nice (if you block the news communities)

As a person who regularly cycles through Amsterdam (even the centre), the issus is tourist pedestrians. The city does a bare minimum to cater for these travellers, because most of the visits are temporal.

As a cyclist and/or pedestrian, I am never frustrated by locals cycling or walking.

The rule is "its harder for a cyclist to stop than a pedestrian, so be predictable with where you are going and we'll all avoid an accident".

The flow people you walk about is a problem for travellers, not for locals.

Yo, are you okay?
