Regarding extensions, my understanding is that Apple makes it hard to prevent a bunch of trash extensions showing up that don’t do anything worthwhile.

Hold them in contempt. Put them in jail for a few days, then declare a mistrial due to incompetent counsel. For repeat offenders, file a formal complaint to the state bar.

I’m normally a fan of Chapo Trap House but they had a couple guys on on their Monday show who were very dismal about Ukraine’s prospects and I was thinking “Russia is a fucking hollowed empire, how are you saying they have an advantage here?”

Glad I was reminded that Russia initially said they would be in and out of there in three days.

Maybe 30% of ICE personnel would understand that being the gestapo represents a “branding problem,” maybe 1% are ethical enough to feel bad about it but not enough to quit.

That seems overly complicated and counterproductive. How can ICE watch you fuck its mother if it’s sucking your balls? They should do that after you fuck its mother.

I can’t either, looks like this is just for reading.

Sam Altman is a hack and a fraud. He’s on the wrong side of everything.

Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp are important. Imagine if Gmail didn’t allow you to use other email clients, you had to use a google made app or the web interface. Would that be a write-off as “not important”?

Docker is not simple or intuitive for someone who is not already a sysadmin.

This is something that I hope fediverse developers and OSS developers start focusing on: making installation and self-hosting much simpler. Currently trying to set up self-hosted anything is a gigantic pain in the ass if you’re not already an experienced sysadmin.

This was not a typical bankruptcy auction, and part of the trustee’s role was to ensure an outcome that was acceptable to those injured by Jones, eg the Sandy Hook families.

I know this is more of a meme community but in all seriousness that is the absolute ideal attitude for a president to have. “I’m here to do something and once I’m done I’m out.”

Whether he or anyone else holds to that is a different matter, of course.

Hopefully the absence of an algorithm pushing engagement at all costs will dispel some of it.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Glaciers formed over millennia. If they melt, they’re gone, even if we drop CO2 to pre-industrial levels. The Antarctic ice sheet is millions of years of snow that fell at the rate of a few inches a year and just didn’t melt. If significant portions of that fall off and melt, it’ll be millions of years more for the water it adds to the oceans to cycle back to the ice sheet again. The changes we have made will not be reversed automatically or in many cases at all.

Because it won’t work? That’s what I got from the article. I’m not sure what else you’re implying.

“You feel like a stupid piece of shit? Try a brand new OS to have that feeling confirmed.”

From what I understand it doesn’t matter, that’s just a label they assign to all the data they have about you. Attaching all of that to your real name is trivial once they have the profile.

Right? Let’s demonize vore fetishists next, those are clearly cannibals in waiting.

If you do it right, masturbating is light exercise.

They don’t want to carry inventory because Amazon doesn’t. The prices are higher because vendors are contractually obligated to sell on Amazon at their lowest price. So retailers, with a need to have a physical presence and having to buy at more or less the same price a product is available for on Amazon, get fucked. Their only hope is vendors who make a “different” product to sell at other outlets. An example of what I mean is, Poppi soda sells for $20/12 pack on Amazon. They sell a 15 pack at Costco for the same price. Because it’s a “different” product they are not in breach of contract.
