Dogbert got the job so he can read private messages and blackmail his
enemies.

There's no point to posting Dilbert any more.

Those who are paying will see it anyway.

The Rest of Us don't care anymore.

It was amusing when it presented life in IT, through a glass, darkly,
but it hasn't done that for a long time.

I suspect most of us who followed it into this century due to habit will
just drop off.

I had a look at the new thing, and it came across as a place where,
"those people who point out we are arseholes can't find us", and left.

All things must pass. Sometimes much later than they really should've...

Cheers,

I find it a pity that Dilbert is now behind a paywall. This will
make many meetings more boring.

I think you are missing the point.

The point is not that only those willing to pay will be interested,
and they will have seen it already.

The point is that posting it /here/ is pointless because anyone who
isn't paying won't be able to see it and so not be interested.

That would be it.

When Adams shut down the free site, I deleted Dilbert from my daily rotation.
I am not now, never have been, and never will be, interested in financially
supporting someone with his opinions. He is perfectly free to have his
opinions; I am perfectly free to have mine. And one of mine is to never let
one penny go to the likes of him.

What I may do, if people insist on posting about a site that I will never
patronize, is to simply add ‘Dilbert’ to the kill file. That way they can
worship at the altar of their racist god to their heart’s content, I will
never see it.

Do carry on.

Don't get me wrong!

I enjoyed Dilbert for many years.

What I never cared about was Lynn's narcissistic need to post links to
the webcomics he followed.

Also anyone here won't be able to read Heinlein without buying a book
and so not be interested.

Posting it here was ALWAYS pointless.

None of us are ignorant of the existence of webcomics and Lynn didn't
just post notable comics...

....he posted them EVERY SINGLE DAY.

People who own and have read the book might be interested in
discussing it.

People who haven't read it, don't own it, and have no intention of
doing either might still be interested in reading the discussion.

You are desperately trying to pretend that apples and oranges can be
compared. They can't be.

Are you /sure/ you are paying attention?

And I found most of them worth looking at.

I still check Doonesbury, although I missed yesterdays because the URL
didn't exist (per the server). I wonder if that will happen every
Sunday from now on? That is, that only the old strips will be put up
without explicit payment being required.

Dilbert, at least, lives in an SF universe with aliens, parallel dimensions,
robot characters, & demons.

Long ago, Doonesbury had fantastic elements. Specifically, plants
could talk. BJ Eddy being fired from his position as head tulip
made the news.

It is possible that this is less a revelation about plant intelligence
and more that Zonker is a giant pot-head subject to hallucinations but
I think either Mike or Mark also heard them.

(OBSF: plants feeling turns up as a plot point in a David Drake
story)

In several Drake stories. One of the Lacey stories had plant behavior as a
major plot point; to be sure, Drake later commented that someone else had
remarked that only someone who hated plants could have written that story.
Drake’s opinion of plants was confirmed by the ’Seas of Venus’ stories;
I was particularly impressed by the homicidal honeysuckle and the venomous
walnuts. And Drake also had a battleship named ’Night Blooming Cereus’.
Look it up.

Does not appear to have a search engine.

I used to remember a strip from the past by a few keywords, search
for it, and then share it on Teams.

Now I'm restricted to xkcd, I guess.
