  • Better make sure people don't have fun just being amongst themselves, how can we introduce a product that invalidates the traditional social experience?

  • Australia passes landmark social media ban for children under 16
  • All of their content is public though, you don't need to verify your age to watch a Joe Rogan podcast.

  • Conservative parent is sad his daughters aren't coming for thanksgiving after voting for Trump
  • If liberalism is a mental disorder than neoliberalism is a new mental disorder that is so bizarre it doesn't even have a definition yet.

  • What bias are there, targeting Open Source specifically?
  • From a business standpoint I've noticed these two mindsets prevail:

    With paid SaaS, there's always somebody to blame for missing features or outages. From my POV either way the IT department is getting blamed if a system goes down, and the overconfidence in the vendor to fix all issues timely is not always realistic.

    Business leaders have conditioned themselves to being sold something. With open source they still expect a CEO or some figurehead to give a presentation on how the free tool will benefit the company, even though it doesn't make sense when there's no incentive to sell.

  • California farmers were big Trump backers. They may be on collision course over immigrant deportation
  • MAGA when they realize they are part of the collective America and are just as responsible for making it greater as anybody else.

  • Want to understand why Trump won the election? Look at pop culture.
  • Charts these days mostly seems to mean how many tiktok videos play the song. When I ask people what kind of music they like it's either "whatever I find on tiktok" or some random niche band I've never heard of like Ralph and the Orange Peels.

  • Want to understand why Trump won the election? Look at pop culture.
  • I guess in a society that is increasingly lonely especially for young people, it's easy to get dragged into the redneck incel rhetoric. I don't really know where this activity is taking place but it seems to be everywhere.

  • Yeah, so...
  • Turns out it only works if the population doesn't believe they want that.

  • Google Chromeโ€™s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week
  • They messed up 10 years ago when for some reason it took ages for Firefox to load compared to Chrome, and sadly it never really recovered the user base even though the performance is vastly improved.

  • T-Mobile's Forced Arbitration
  • Somebody tried selling me a locked phone on eBay despite listing it as unlocked. The seller refused to be helpful so I filed a claim with eBay, waited the 10 days, eBay sided with me, got a refund and shipped the phone back, waited for the refund to process, then spent $100 more to buy the same device from Amazon.

  • AI nowaday is like Bluetooth 20 years ago: they put it everywhere where it's almost never useful
  • It saves a ton of time. I've worked with clients before and I'll put a lorem ipsum as a placeholder for text they're supposed to provide. Then the client will send me a note saying there's a mistake and the text needs to be in English. If the text is almost close enough to what the client wants, they might actually read it and send edits if you're lucky.

  • To be honest, it is quite complicated now as well with all of the proprietary software
  • Oh that setting is super easy to change, just go to run, type in regedit, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then just scroll until you find CLSID-73838-abf83-c758d57-87a90ba, set the value to zero and reboot!

  • I think the original name was "dysaesthesia aethiopica."
  • If people could just get hired for the jobs that interest them the most instead of somebody always playing gatekeeper then this would be a non-issue. In fact I'm not even sure it's a current issue for employers, considering the stock market recently hit an all time high.

  • At least one society is decent enough to take out their antisocial billionaire parasite trash...
  • Also how does it get to 12.5 billion before people do something? Had they intervened with something less severe at 1 billion then there would still be 11.5 billion and a life not lost.

  • A remarkable likeness.
  • Cindy you look just like Misses Cane!

  • Scraping scraping scraping.
  • Be careful with linseed oil as it spontaneously combusts! My friend used it on something and left the rag in the garage, and it literally burnt their house down.

  • Has this ever happened to you?
  • This reminds me of the time in HS when a letter broke off my laptop keyboard and my parents insisted on taking it to the shop for a repair. Turns out they really just wanted the shop to turn over my search history and chat logs. I already knew my parents were nosy so I would always delete it anyway.

    One day I came home from school and they said the shop fixed the keyboard but just needed my password to test it and do updates. I said no it's fine if he can type in anything into the password then obviously the keyboard works, and I already did the updates regularly.

    They literally had to beg me for the password and they were like pleasssse just give the shop the password so they can finish their checklist and you can get your computer back, and I was like fine if it's the only way I'm getting it back. Of course nothing came of it because there was nothing to discover.

    Then my parents got the computer back but kept it in the trunk of their car for a week, and I accidentally saw it when we were leaving Old Navy which started a whole "I don't believe this!" discourse in the mall parking lot.

    Moral of the story just talk to your kids instead of spying and lying, because they know and it won't work!

  • 36 flavors
  • Shellac flavored

  • Time to delete your Glassdoor account
  • My company blames me when people fill out forms with junk data just to get to what was already a public link, then I have to go in the CRM every morning and delete a dozen "your moms" and "nunyas".
