Definitely fire, without it none of the other inventions happen afterwards; though I guess we didn’t really invent it as much as we learned to harness it.

“Your privately owned vehicle is actually just a timeshare taxi” getting stock prices to go up is proof that our system is irremediably fucked.

Never underestimate the catharsis of digging a hole.

Unless you live on hardpan. Fuck hardpan.

Prioritize Primal. It is a truly unique and awesome show.

That’s some god damn nostalgia for me right there. I think I may need to get mine out and get infuriated with some Pitfall again.

Why is the picture for this url showing “tally, a free way to make forms”? Is the website really using opengraph social thumbnails to display ads?

Edit: Never mind, the linked page has a link to tally in it apparently… which is still not really what the OG links are for, but it’s far less irritating than what I originally thought.

What were the challenges they faced? The article outlines that they faced insurmountable issues but didn’t state what those issues were or what they did to try and mitigate them.

Totally unrelatedly a Boeing whistleblower “killed himself” not long ago.

Nah, I can’t get behind that as an argument.

The restrooms aren’t an exhibit that you pay for, and it’s common knowledge when you buy a ticket that you won’t be able to use the restroom of the opposite gender as a general rule. Seems a bit hyperbolic.

My personal take: just disclose this at the time of purchase. A simple asterisk on the general admission info noting that some exhibits will be [insert blocking restriction] would make the problem go away.

The case is slightly more complicated than the comments indicate. The lawsuit hinged on the women only space being one exhibit in a general admission event; basically someone is making a stink because they paid full price and then were denied access to one thing in it.

I’m not commenting at all here about my feelings on the topic, just trying to relay facts.

I’m not sure that a protection against changing the default browser with third party programs (maybe without the user knowing) via the registry is the evil thing being depicted here.

The way I read this article is that this is a move for compliance with the new digital markets act and I’m not seeing the maliciousness.

Willing to be wrong, I haven’t used Windows regularly for like 20 years.

Maybe it’s in the thread or something? I don’t know.

I think Musk is maybe the biggest tool of them all and I enjoy a chance to insult him as much as the next guy, but I’m confused about this one.

There are real concerns about side effects. Climate isn’t localized, it is a global system; rapidly cooling one area of the globe could have catastrophic impacts elsewhere.

I can’t seem to find the article I read on this now, but some people are calling for global legislation requiring any attempt at this to be reviewed and approved as a bare minimum effort.

I remember learning about how to use this back in the day and what a game changer it was for my workflow.

Today I like to do all of the commits as I’m working. Maybe dozens or more as I chug along, marking off waypoints rather than logging actual changes. When I’m done a quick interactive rebase cleans up the history to meaningful commits quite nicely.

The fun part is that I will work with people sometimes who both swear that “rewriting history” is evil and should never be done, but also tell me how useful my commit logs are and want to know how I take such good notes as I go.

…what?

This was one company spying on the users of its competitor via unofficial means. Even in the furthest stretch of the corporate boot licking bullshit that “you signed up for the app so you deserve to be spied on” exists in, I don’t see how this scenario is covered.

Worcestershire sauce in tuna. It is delicious.

He’s not even holding the bow at the frog. I’m beginning to question if he even knows how to play the violin.

He missed so many opportunities to loony tunes his way across the floor though. 5/10, needs work.

Seriously though his traction is impressive. My big girl would have slid across and into everything along the way.
