Friend: No this makes sense, it's a chain of dependencies. Every teams channel is a SharePoint folder

@noiob @typhlosion The AT deviated quite a bit from the 5150 and 5160. To fit either one, you'd have to modify the mobo screw holes to hold the mobo, and you'd have to remove and design in a whole new expansion backplane because the expansion slots are slightly wider as well. It can be done, but it can't be done with a modern stock case, gaming or otherwise.

i really need stable income but since jobs aren't real anymore i'm taking any help i can get. i have a ko-fi you can send money to and there's even some pins left to buy there. i have a patreon where i don't have any rewards because i couldn't think of any and nobody has suggested any yet. you can also get a pixel portrait for a very reasonable price. or you can tell your employer about me

Weather.gov is back to the way it's been for a while. Local forecasts are accessible in JS-disable and JS-free browsers again.

@arielmt seems like it's fixed now? Perhaps a very dumb way for them to temporarily disable that page.

@lori What's really bad is that this is precisely the format of URL that the "Text Only Forecast" link pointed to until this week. (Also, the "Printable Forecast" link points to the exact same URL, except the "TextType" query string parameter is "2" instead of "1".)

The irony of complaining about websites turned applications is not lost on me, one who runs and pays the bills for a website turned application that I'm using to voice that complaint.

YOUR WEBSITE IS NOT THE ONLY APPLICATION I NEED TO RUN AT A SINGLE TIME! YOUR WEBSITE SHOULDN'T EVEN **BE** A FUCKING APPLICATION JUST TO SHOW SIMPLE TEXT, YOU TECHBRO-ADMIRING DUMBASSES!

The National Weather Service, one of the few parts of the United States Government that does genuine good and nothing else, now has a website that is functionally inaccessible without a JavaScript-contaminated "Web" browser.

When I talk about the danger of #hacking #history online vanishing, and the importance of the Wayback Machine, this is the kind of jackass decision making I am talking about, among many other things.

I smash the wine out of Jesus' hand, his party tricks impressing everyone but me. "GIVE US THE SUPERCONDUCTOR," I yell in Aramaic.

@Samobee :blobfacepalm: Your response should be, "Sir, this is a ~~Wendy's~~ demo."

51 hours restoration time is not too far off from the 48-hour estimate.
