"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"
russh··on Philip K. Dick’s dystopia
No. Changing our perceptions of the world does not change the world. If I put on rose colored glasses I change nothing except how I perceive the world, the world stays the same.

Sounds like nice work if you can get it.
russh··on The scourge of Rec dot gov (2021)
Dose it get better? No. It’s very a profitable setup for some, and representatives need support from some to maintain their position so they can do “Good.” Trying to make stuff better will get you branded somewhere between a raciest and a Nazi.

Yep, I just want to mine, explore, and occasionally do missions.

russh··on Decommissioned Atlas F missile silo complex for sale

russh··on Microsoft buys Xandr, AT&T’s advanced advertising business
I wish Apple would spend more time working on this use case. I'd really like a stripped-down, somewhat locked-down interface that could be remotely managed. It would be the greatest thing for elderly people with dementia. My Dad loved his iPad but was frequently frustrated when he strayed off into some screen, configuration setting, or mode he didn't understand.
russh··on An iframe from googlesyndication.com tries to access the camera and microphone

russh··on Bernie Madoff’s unwitting accomplice: The AS/400 (2009)
Legacy RPG code is usually not easy to understand. Each line of code can be conditioned with a series of Boolean indicators leading to a simple looking but complex spaghetti code. One line of code may run if indicators 13, 23, and 90 are set and the next only if 56 is set followed by a line that runs if 13 and 90 are set. You could have 99 indicators plus reserved indicator per program.

This leads to pearls of wisdom like “An indicator is like an atomic bomb, nice to have but not something you want to use.” And “if you solve the problem with an indicator, then you’ll have two problems.”

russh··on Remarkable starts implementing subscription plans for its cloud features
It’s an interesting device and I am fond of e-paper so I was considering one as well. The expensive pen with an eraser was a strike against it. Requiring a subscription to use someone else’s cloud service and only in the top tier plan, that turns a strike into a complete pass.
