My work used a third-party DB that was based in Foxpro up until mid-last year.

This might be shocking but a Foxpro database doesn't work well on a modern system. The database would corrupt itself several times a year, which the vendor blamed on us not disabling new-fangled technologies like "hard drive write caching" on everyone's computer.

I mean it's a confusing headline until you realise they need to jingle a set of keys in front of him to get him to do... oh anything really.

"Time to get up donny..."



"Time for smart donny to write a truthy..."



"Does big brave donny want to meet the nice people downstairs...?"



Edit: in fact, reaching for a set of nursey's keys is what he's doing in the photo.

LMAO "Jo" even wants trans people to be sent to gas chambers. That's a very up-to-date reference.

For further context, I'm sure Rowling voted for Scotland to remain as part of the UK.

quote:

Marion Calder, a director at For Women Scotland, the campaign group, said the materials were “clearly trying to create a link with JK Rowling” and that it was “deeply concerning” to see “Jo” quickly leap from “reasonable statements” to the Holocaust.
I agree, it was deeply concerning to see how quickly she went from talking about wizards making GBS threads their pants and magicking the poo poo away instead of using toilets to... oh wait, you meant the fictional Jo, not the real one.

Saying "targeting gender critical feminists like JK Rowling" sounds extremely like some terfy bullshit. They're called "free speech union" and the other articles linked at the bottom are "Dr Laura Favaro’s research revealed female academics are bullied into silence over their views on gender – now she’s been silenced and ousted too" and "Now the EU wants to regulate online influencers."

Yes, both of them. The telegraph went on with something like "meanwhile, they let the others say banning "pray the gay away" conversion therapy was good and as important as when homosexuality was decriminalised. The temerity!" right about the point when I stopped reading

Jo also publishes books in which the criminal is a "male cross dresser" who hides in womens bathrooms, she does this using the pseudonym of the inventor of conversion therapy. Mere coincidence, I'm sure

I'm guessing yes, because the link between hating LGBT and being Nazis is pretty well-established.

In other news, gently caress Jo.
