welcome back to 2003
(media.piefed.social)
23 years after 2003...
At least in 2003, more people knew where to use apostrophes in their sentences.
Sorry everyone, I opened a new branch off the 2003 release while I was researching some of the bugs in the legacy code. That wasn't supposed to get merged in...
Ugh, just tell me you didn't pull main into your working branch again, instead of rebasing. We talked about this.
But you made it worse!
yep, the bug triggers when a political party overflows its buffer. The funny thing is, the system still catches the error and spams the logs with FATAL error messages, but the system has been throwing them for so long and seems to still be chugging along so we kind of ignore them. One of the original devs made a comment about how someone should fix it right before leaving the team. Anyway, the effect tends to accumulate, so if you deploy it to prod and don't fix it, eventually you get... this.
My bad.
Fix it Fix it Fix it Fix it!
(I tried to find the Futurama meme of that, but my phone said No)
Trying, I'm stuck on a bridge with some of the seniors right now. One of them wants to "just push through and see what happens" and roll forward with the change, the other one disapproves but clearly has no idea what else to do. Nobody seems to want to even propose a plan because then they'd be on the hook for it, so we just keep going back and forth and not. ending. the call.

This just further confirms that the world simulation actually did break from the y2k bug. We fixed the bug in here, but no one fixed the simulation. The cascade failure has just been spreading out of control since then. Now we have recursion errors! The sim tried to restart but it's all corrupt lol.
I think the root problem lies in some of the really gnarly, pre-1.0 code that we are afraid to touch because it might break something, that's why it keeps cropping up even though we keep slapping patches pell-mell on top of it. It just happened to pop out pretty bad in 03.

Jumanji was released 7 years ago. Both times!
20 year retro rule strikes again.
RIP 90s retro, you didn't even get to exist because of the fucking 80s overstaying their already tired ass dead eyed bullshit
90s just never really left.
TV wise, providers still fight hard for Friends and Seinfeld. I still see teenagers slapping on Nirvana shirts. My clothes from back then still fit and are intact and a kid at my kids school asked me where I got my clothes because they wanted some just like them.
My clothes from back then still fit
#SubtleBrag
and are intact
#FormerNaturist?
Well, they didn't fit for many years and then I lost a bunch of weight and could wear them again, so they just mostly survived a closet..

OK, but no more than stuff from other decades. Are you really claiming that there have been waves of retro focused content to the same degree as 80s dance parties, 80s aesthetic revival games and music, etc for the 90s? Kool and the Gang's "celebration" is in every animated film and advert, it doesn't mean the 70s retro scene is a cultural tour de force that is going strong and infiltrating every cultural touchstone. (god fucking damnit, that song came out in 1980 IDFK, provide your own example of an overused 70s song)
I think they are claiming there are no waves because it doesn't need it, the 90s never really left
well nothing ever fucking left, it's called object permanence. Stoners have put posters of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of The Moon" and pretentious assholes* have listened to Bach since they existed. "Retro waves" are when these things become more significant than their usual levels of cultural impact and human ritual.
*I include myself in this group, Bach kicks ass.

That's all fine. Just as long as parachute pants don't come back.

So, corporate is relying on AI for creativity and as such, the only option remaining is to reboot old successes.
They were already doing that before AI.

And Buffy is in talks.
I can't do this all on my own...
Except we invaded Iraq with years of preparation and a decade-long no-fly zone to chip away at them. We are going into this one with a pants around our ankles.
It's gonna be another Iraq/Afghanistan because it's meant to be. Oil, military industrial complex, oil, conservatives know and are ok with an oil invasion. I live in KY. Trump can do no wrong in the moron belt.
