  • It's been twenty years since the first ease-of-use distros launched, the ones meant for noughts hempty end users. It's long been basically trivial to install and use Linux without ever touching the terminal, especially if you're one of the majority of people who spend almost all their time in browser/Electron apps. A basic Ubuntu or Mint is basically idiotproof. And if you can use an app store, you can use a package manager.

  • Imagine if it's not AI lol

    Imagine being a graphic artist and waking up to find the internet is dragging you for being 'fake'. "A HUMAN WOULDN'T MAKE THESE MISTAKES"

    Rough

  • Have you ever clicked a captcha and it's just checked itself off for you?

    That's because your page use behaviour looked human enough it wasn't worth the robot test

  • The functionality is, in fact, still there, and basically every phone with a headphone jack turns it on.

  • Wear a facemask with 255.255.255.0 and/or /24 sharpied on it and if anyone asks, tell them you're complying with mask mandates

  • It's not used on its own, it's for putting around a name like (((this))) to imply someone is a jew and you hate them without outright saying it.

  • Did it make sense with mIRC? IRC clients wrap the name in angle-brackets, not a colon. This sounds more like AIM.

  • It comes from an alt-right podcast, where rather than outright say "this person is a jew and jews are bad", they started making the names of jewish people (or those they suspected of being jewish) echo dramatically so they could have plausible deniability. The textual form of that echo became (((this))).

  • If september can last forever, so can the year of the Linux desktop

  • In my group often times I’ll do a group stealth check most of the time but if someone gets detected it can quickly turn into a problem solving encounter

    In a group stealth check, one person failing is irrelevant, that's literally the only difference between regular checks and group ones. Only half the party have to pass a group check

  • TL;DR a company called Zuma is trying to replace school busses with a fleet of smaller vans for 5-10 kids at a time to increase efficiency. "Like Uber for kids". The routing software did not handle the addition of a new city well.

  • The suspects were identified earlier this month as a 38-year-old man named Zheng and a 55-year-old woman named Wang, both from the Chinese autonomous region of Inner Mongolia.

    So after all this time, the Mongols finally breached the wall...

  • God, yeah, it was an absolutely incredible episode. I watched it recently too, I was curious after seeing SNW's treatment of it. I never watched much TOS because it wasn't very engaging to me as a child in the 2000s, but I was drawn into BoT almost immediately and felt like I barely blinked the whole hour.

  • Sure.. "leg day" 😘

  • Life is their Stevia brand. How it tastes depends on how stevia tastes to you; like cilantro, it's got a genetic component.

  • I get them at my normal grocery store (in Canada). They're limited time, they rotate in and out, so maybe you just missed them, or maybe they're an NA thing.

  • It’s just the latest in a long line of experimental, conceptual Coke flavours. Honestly, it’s something I’ve been saying for years; stop being constrained by imitating “real” flavours and let the flavour scientists loose, let 'em go nuts.

    So far they've done:
    Space (I liked that, hints of toasted carmel and raspberries)
    Dream (Also good, a little bubblegummy, a little cotton candy-y, a little mangolike)
    Transformation (Awful, like coke with coconut oil and a hint of turpentine)
    Byte (Just decent, kind of indescribable)
    Pixel (I never got to try it, it was US only, but by all descriptions it wasn't great)
    Movement (A bit like theatre butter and cinnamon, it was okay but wasn't a fan)

    And now AI flavour. I plan to give it a shot, but I don't expect much after their last two Tech-y flavours were eh.
