  • Thank you, Gary.

  • I didn’t get a lot of what people were talking about for awhile, but mostly it just got me to hide things from my parents from a young age and make my own money so I didn’t have to ask them for things…an attitude that of course created its own problems.

    As for the tamagotchi-watching, I could see that feeling humiliating. At the time I think I just felt trusted. Sort of like when the other neighbors would ask me to watch their cat while they were gone. That kid’s parents never did end up ever letting him have a living pet ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  • Thank you, Gary.

  • You’re not alone. My parents regularly determined that anything trendy was clearly an invention of Satan sent to bring children directly to demon-worship. My only experience with one of these was like many of my experiences with technology growing up — the only child across the street with the “rich” parents had one, and he asked me to watch it over a weekend when he was on vacation somewhere.

    It was never fun to me. It was a beeping obligation.

  • Gemini : How to wire a plug

  • Cropping is a lost art that was under appreciated in its time. Oddly, I see it done less even though it’s become substantially easier to do over time, with the tools often built into whatever took the screenshot.

  • Arrowhead School Board passed a new policy that restricts what teachers can display in their classrooms like "Safe Space" & a new electronic pass system limits students to 7 bathroom breaks per week

  • It’s weird to see my old high school in the news and it’s not about a football scandal.

  • If Meta can do it, you can rule it.

  • China.

  • It is a good thing, actually, that bigotry was the motive

  • This shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion. It’s absurd to consider Kirk’s death (that’s what we’re talking about, right?) as anything other than a net positive. There are zero reasons that you shouldn’t be allowed to exist without constant fear of people like him.

    Yeah, yeah I know we’re all constantly told that violence isn’t the answer…by people with a vested interest in keeping us all docile and unthreatening. I don’t care that he’s dead. I don’t care if fascists are afraid for their lives — who knows, maybe it’ll magically teach them to feel empathy for how you must feel all the time. I doubt it, but hope springs eternal.

  • Suspect in custody after driver rams car into staffed security gate at FBI building in Pittsburgh

  • Henson, 46, of nearby Penn Hills, was being charged with assault with a deadly weapon and damaging government property.

    Is the gate a person capable of being assaulted or is it property capable of being damaged? I don’t think it gets to be both.

  • My man!

  • Fucking hero right there.

  • Greta Thunberg and climate activists block oil refinery

  • They got captured and for the most part released after some unsurprisingly shitty treatment. I think there was one the IDF didn’t release but I can’t remember clearly. It feels like several lifetimes ago.

  • Every Act of Resistance, No Matter How Small, Contributes

  • It’s not practical at scale — any employee working for a cabinet department (and probably more than that, what do I know) takes the oath. If they violate it later it’s easier to store a PDF in the personnel file to provide evidence they agreed to it in the first place.

  • Every Act of Resistance, No Matter How Small, Contributes

  • Yes, although it’s generally more of a signed piece of paper or PDF thing than a saying-out-loud-in-front-of-people thing.

  • Damn she had AI write it

  • …well I’m definitely turning that on for my Linux machine then. Thanks for the tip.

  • Damn she had AI write it

  • I think this is something macOS does best — using shift+option hyphen is a bit quicker than alt+0151.

  • Damn she had AI write it

  • Odd, I see them used all the time, and I’m neither. So I guess either my experience is an outlier, everyone I talk to is secretly an LLM, or maybe the meme is pushing an easy conclusion because people in general are bad at picking up on LLM responses and want an easy punctuation mark so they don’t have to think.

  • Damn she had AI write it

  • They’re pretty trivial to make in any OS — having a dedicated key isn’t necessary.

  • Damn she had AI write it

  • Weirdly it usually turns hyphens into en dashes instead of em dashes from what I’ve seen, which makes no sense at all.

  • Weird but yes

  • It is absolutely Harker. I don’t know if you’re a slider, but you are correct.

  • GOP Congressman Deletes Post Celebrating ’18 Million Kids’ Losing School Meals: ‘Was an Error’

  • This is how he responds to everything, including but not limited to librarians, airport security, and answers to questions he has asked someone directly.

    The only setting on his conversational style is angry old white man.

  • Anti-offshore wind groups target $426M grant for California port

  • A big-budget offshore wind project that would clean up a contaminated California port and turn it into America’s first hub for floating wind turbines is the latest target of an increasingly emboldened national anti-offshore wind movement.

    So…if I’m reading this right, they’re against taking a contaminated site and putting something useful and clean in it instead. I do not get the upside of this argument.
