Right?

I remember the local contemporary Christian station would sometimes play P.O.D., but only late at night. It was too "hard" or something for during the day when I guess kids might be listening or whatever. The DJ even chastised listeners once for requesting P.O.D. during the day.

You just described my teens. Also Jars of Clay (I went to one of their concerts once), The News Boys, and some more obscure ones like Pillar and Paul Ruben. I also loved P.O.D.. It's really weird to hear them on secular radio these days.

Now-a-days, all of that is only for when I'm wallowing in self pity. There have been times in my life when casually mentioning a secular song around my family would make the shit hit the fan.

Same. I was the first person in my immediate family to vote for a Democrat. They were appalled I'd vote for gays. (They'd have used a different term than "gays", but I digress.)

Yeah, I was a little diasappointed about that as well. Still a good article, though. And no paywall.

When and why did my head canon decide this creature speaks Japanese?

I'm not sure I've ever tried to do any write operations. I'm honestly not even sure the service behind that login page offers any write operations. I might have to check sometime. I'm curious.

Where I work, the infra folks are way overworked. Getting them to do things is impossible given their existing todo list. And when you do get them to do something (by throwing managers at them) they half-ass it.

(I'm not blaming them. I blame the managers. It is frustrating though. Anyway.)

And as a result, there's one system that I use frequently that they set up, but cut corners and never hooked it up to our single sign-on solution. And so in order to get into this system, everyone has to use a shared username/password. "readonly:readonly". And every time I log in, my browser nags me about the known weak password.

But the title of the article is "Did 'The Simpsons' Predict President Trump's Death". And it's rated "false". If The Simpsons did predict his death, just not as indicated by the specific image mentioned in the article, surely that would be mentioned and the overall rating would be something like "mixture" rather than "false".

I suppose unless The Simpsons predicted his death in an episode released after that Snopes article was written. In which case, fair point.

Don't trust anything ChatGPT says. It makes shit up all the time.

If Satan walked into the room you're currently in right now and said "I'm here to collect your soul to torture for eternity as payment for the bigger dick I gave your great great great grandfather on this date in 1925 unless you can make me laugh in the next 30 seconds", what would you do?

(Careful not to let /c/vegan see this.)

I turn off autocorrect on anything that offers it. Mostly my android phone, but also on LibreOffice or whatever.

I also turn off all auto-capitalize, auto-punctuation, etc. When coding, I also hate auto-indent. If I want something indented, I'll hit tab.

In short, when I put in text, I want my computing devices to get exactly what I explicitly input and nothing else.

I also took out the fuse that powers the Starlink connectivity in my Subaru because Subaru's privacy policy says they'll record any audio in the cabin they damned well please with no notice or consent (except insofar as existing in the cabin constitutes "consent" because their legal department says so) and send those recordings back to the mothership to use in any way they see fit.

Yes, this is a shitpost community, but I still feel obligated to make sure folks know this isn't real.

On Arch (which I'm kindof in the process of migrating away from, but anyway), I tend to use the version of vi that is pre-installed as part of the base system. And it segfaults not terribly infrequently and the fact that that hasn't been fixed yet in all the years I've been using Arch makes me think it almost has to be unmaintained.

I prefer something lighter than Vim, and that fits the bill. I used something called "nvi" at one time in the past, but it had some annoying quirks as well. On non-Arch systems, I just use Vim.

Couldn't agree more.

There's a YouTuber named Memoria Matters who has an inside joke that she's trying to popularize the idiom "too many dogs on the dance floor". I'm pretty sure it doesn't have any particular meaning, however. It came up quite a few times during her Alien: Isolation let's play, however.

It was Zero Cool. Definitely Zero Cool.

Too soon.
