i feel like this just keeps happening in the open source space, people go “Oh this is bloat, get rid of the bloat” and ardently insist that actually it’s better to use a bare TTY, despite that just… obviously being hilariously dumb?

i love that bluesky just keeps getting away with it like this
“oh well they said people can run their own instances, so that must be true!”
nope, you just can’t run a bluesky instance, can we please recognize this fact and stop giving the massive corporation the benefit of the doubt?

Stardust Crusaders, chapter 141

i want to go back to when “Linux drama” was torvalds calling someone a tosspot for submitting bad code

android with lineage on it, and configure things to limit what they can do with it.

you can get pretty close to the best of both worlds, letting them have navigation tools and whatnot while also simply not having the google play store available on the phone at all, and exposing them to a very minimal amount of data harvesting from the tech companies.

it’s not snake oil, but it’s like buying horribly expensive infused oils

just fucking put a sprig of rosemary in a bottle of oil, it’s not that difficult to do it yourself and it will be hilariously cheaper

i think the real answer is using whatever makes sense in context: if your character has some experience with the language they could have a brainwave where they see a connection with their existing knowledge, whereas if your character has no way of actually figuring it out they might for example look at the number of characters and blurt out some sounds that fit and that turns out to be correct (or just close enough).

can you define “left-leaning bias”? because many people say that and actually mean “doesn’t arbitrarily go ‘both sides!’ every time an issue is brought up”

it’s not “left-leaning bias” to recognize the state of the world and the solutions to it, that’s just being sane and not-evil.

why would you ruin all their hard work putting their scent on the clothes? they’ll just have to do it again when you’ve washed them!

humans are baffling creatures

sounds like a good background for a proper paladin, no?

person grows up well adjusted and happy, including being taught to have morals, so when they learn about the horrors in the world they go “fuck that noise” and pledge themselves to make the world less shit.

And since they’re just… a normal dude… they can be the party’s “straight man” who sees a half-feral goblin mage join the party and looks into the camera like in The Office.

what also helps a lot is not using sites like temu and amazon

What’s been working for me so far is just hard reloading the page, after that it seems to forget all about it so long as i’m on the same tab, though it also works just fine to keep making new tabs and hard reloading every time.

the vast majority of my feed is really good and i have a bigass pile of subscriptions to channels i want to watch basically every video from because they’re really good

learn to tell the algorithm to fuck off and serve you better things, don’t just blithely slurp up whatever it feeds you.

hopefully a case of “if i don’t include this keyword i will miss out on tons of shit from stupid people who want into the trend”

or homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis

bro basically everyone outside of africa has neanderthal and denisovan heritage, our ancestors had TONS of kids with other human species.

you do realize this makes everyone immediately discard your opinion, because it’s useless, right?

prune as fuck

you are aware that TUI has been a standard thing for ages, right? wanting GUI features inside a terminal isn’t new and i’m not sure if you had a point with this comment other than trying to dunk on them…
