I don’t think the debtors would take kindly to that.

I’m not sure that they have cubicals.
It’s suspicious that articles never show the actual workspaces.

And then he made it clear, mainly through expensive lawyers, that (GOB Bluth-like) he’d made a huge mistake in following through and actually offering to buy the thing in support of his idiotic ideological position. He was forced to follow through on the deal and now we’re seeing the predictable results.
There is no 5D chess being played here, just a bunch of flailing about. Even his fanbois know better than to defend him around here anymore.

Personally, I rather liked that movie.

Most the fanboys around here have quietly or loudly been shown the door by Orenwolf and the excellent mod team.

There are a few of the less obnoxious ones who still have active accounts. No point in naming them since I’m sure they’re embarrassed enough about him as it is.

That’s where we’ve seen this before!
“Let’s assume for a moment, that you are a dishonest man.”
“Assume away.”
and
“We never should’ve started this! I think we’re getting in too deep!”
“Too deep? This is nothing! I’ll tell ya when we’re getting in too deep!”

Of course The Producers may be the best analog given how many Nazis are involved.

The remake didn’t quite cut it for me, I’m afraid.

I saw the stage production with Nathan Lane, and that completely sold me on the film remake.

I saw a stage version back when i was in college during my time living in Las Vegas. The person who played the fabulous director was Hasslehoff, and he did a genuinely great job. Would looove to see the stage play again.
The movie is pretty good, there are parts i do wish had been cast differently but overall it’s fun and ridiculous

Fair enough.

I loved the Broadway musical, but the remake film was a little too “stagey” in its direction.

I liked it, but it seemed significant to me that the ones who I thought came off best (Uma Thurman and Will Ferrell) were not in the stage production.

Doesn’t matter, because all tech company workspaces are the same. The monstrous “open concept” of a loud concrete box jammed as full of desks as humanly possible. No quiet, no privacy, maximum distraction. Why? They claim it’s for collaboration, but really it’s because square footage is the second most expensive line item in a budget (after salaries), and the more engineers you can cram into the space, the better. So they think, of course, not understanding that engineers need quiet and distraction free environments to perform well.
Every tech company in the world (including the dozen or so I worked at) is all the same loud concrete box with different hipster decoration around the edges. They all think they are fresh and original, too. The only difference is whether the hip glass-walled recreation room has a ping pong table, pool table, or football. Maybe a vintage arcade game in the corner if they need gaming cred.

But also, back to the general point of him not being nearly as clever as he believes himself to be…
Yes, but it could be that he THINKS he’s being super-clever, but he’s just cocking it up.

The best thing about it? It’s running on a Raspberry Pi 4 hosted at Mythic Beasts.
It’s running on a Pi in the Sky
.
Trying on a Pi without the extra ram of a Pi4 has never worked for me. I forget what the culprit was. (Part of the toolchain rather than Mastodon itself.)

From this discussion, 2G ram or better, although some trimming can be done.
eta: It still seems like a heck of a lot of ram to get off the ground, but then my UN*X multi-user BBS ran fine in 4MB.
eta2: Following seems to be a major fed load. That might be a good use for a DHT, but that could just end up clobbering hashed sites instead. That’d be something to drop into a testing simulation
