I’d be curious to hear of a time when it paid off and one when it didn’t it. And about the kind of stuff you do.

I’m rather preparing to reinvent the wheel a little bit, as a technical person albeit one who does not code.

This is so funny. Is Spider-Man relevant to the joke at all?

Would you say you’re generally pretty happy or nawwww?

Made me feel better when I said I wish I knew what would come, back in the day when I was installing Chrome for people - and someone here replied “hey we all wish we knew when we did that” 🫂

Indeed.

@[email protected] - moreso tactfully pointing out we must be aware of credential inflation and to avoid reliance on appeals to authority?

The naïve optimist in me wants the @[email protected] of the world to keep on revealing their backgrounds as it adds to discussions for me. Disappointing that I should be more skeptical.

You could fit some key numbers and letters on those O rings, I like it!

I wonder if this is why fox news et all were flagrantly lying about roving immigrant gangs occupying towns (that never existed)

That happens in a lot of immigrants home countries, so immigrants voting to stop it from coming to America makes sense - it’s why they uprooted their lives and migrated to America in the first place.

😳

Utterly devious. Not all ladder pullers, instead some are well-meaning murcans.

I totally believe it. (like, there have got to be a percentage of people who think that way. No idea on how many of course.)

Hey. What if his cognitive decline is so bad, that he overflows from far right all the way back to left, and his deeply hidden business acumen comes front and center while also inverting to ethical. And he uses it to demolish those who extract value without ever paying back into the system, and we all sing kumbaya.

Hmm, personally wouldn’t treat fruit trees like fair game unless they’re on public property. Seems many US jurisdictions would consider it petty theft or something.

Common punishment would probably be smart doorbell footage of the “burglar” going up on Nextdoor :)

Ya. Also asking to hurt innocent people in somewhat unusual situations.

Two horizontally stitched screenshots comparing a search for “Reavers GIF” on DuckDuckGo and Google in Safari iOS (private tabs). DDG presented zero Firefly/Serenity relevant results while Google found them exclusively.

Hopefully a privacy-focused yet fast instance for US West Coast cheapskates who probably should pony up for Kagi, buttttttttttt

Four stitched screenshots of an iOS 18 home screen. The icons are themed in the style of a “NookPhone“ from the video game Animal Crossing.

Reference, apparently: NookPhone


I’d like to try heavily theming my home screen, paradoxically while keeping icons quite recognizable.

“David Attenborough” (a soundalike voice) explains the Cybertruck's parasitic relationship with flatbed trailers; transcript:

Here we see the Cybertruck has formed a peculiar symbiotic relationship with the larger flatbed trailer species. Evolutionarily disadvantaged, the Cybertruck has come up with a clever way to transport itself long distances.

By attaching itself to the flatbed trailer, the Cybertruck can reliably move about without risking injury to its fragile exoskeleton or internal organs. What the flatbed trailer gets in return for this kindness, science has yet to discover.

I wondered who had made the video and found myself on Reddit, in r/CyberStuck, where the video was originally posted. The creator of the fake Attenborough video, who has since deleted the post, explains in the comments that they wrote the script and edited the video, and for source material, they used "a bunch of Cybertruck fanboys on YouTube, Whistlindiesel, and also the lovely people on this fair subreddit."

Horizontally stitched screenshots showing a Google Meet call on the iPhone where the microphone mute icon is highlighted in active mute status while the lock screen displays a mute icon which is not selected and inactive.

Always been this way for months. ~~IIRC, the lock screen mute button is nonfunctional.~~ Mute functionality detailed here.

I should report this bug to Google and not Apple, right?
