2ème #3615mavie parce que c'est dredi. Le prof qui déboule dans le bureau avec un élève et son PC portable parce qu'il n'arrive pas à "faire marcher python dans vscode".
Punaise je ne suis pas développeur mais #adminsys, j'utilise #debian, #vim et #perl... Donc ton #vscode sous #windows, pour faire du python le plus politiquement correct pour ne pas faire mon #bofh, c'est vraiment contre-nature.

Back in simpler times, I set up some mailing list software and added any spammer that found my inbox to that list, then injected their spam back to the list. This was when the majority of spam had valid From fields.
There was a clear method in the email headers on how to unsubscribe.
The indignant chaos of them fighting with each other demanding to get off the list and to stop sending them spam was priceless entertainment.
