Man, in the gold tier of Username Checks Out

While providing tech support for my FIL:

FIL: What's that screen?

ME: The terminal. You should never use it.

FIL: Never?

ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?

FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

Would that even work?

'use client' is some kind of proprietary react magic, IIRC. Who knows how it's implemented?

Suppose you accidentally walked in on a bunch of lizard people with their human disguises half off.

How would you go about telling anyone about this without being dismissed as either joking or insane?

It wouldn't start being a *good* law if it was 13, but it would at least be understandable as eyeroll worthy reactionary policy. 18 is just like, what the actual fuck you can drive a car and have sex but not download an app to your phone?

The problem with reading between the lines is that sometimes you're reading implications that the author absolutely wanted you to get, and sometimes you're just reflecting your own prejudices back at yourself

Wow. This seems like a giant own goal then

"Perfectly cope shaped" is such a red flag to me

Well. Better flee to Europe then

I mean, they were unable to successfully communicate that focus to the voters, who found some weak sloganeering from the Rs more convincing than the D's talking points.

So either they need to go back to communication school, or you can't actually drop positions that quickly

I hate it when a "protocol" requires you to stand up a persistent endpoint on a DNS resolvable host

I recommend @temujin9.t9productions.com 's mute list to just erase the worst people on this site from view.

Just listened to a podcast interview with the guy who... decoded the Herculaneum scrolls.

He found out about them and was like, <oh. I can do this.> Not very collective at all, really

Are there? And did they?

I would expect that voters who care a lot about trans issues are already likely to vote, and vote Democratic.

I think the Democrats did not effectively distance themselves from trans issues in 2024

I think this is a bad model of the swing voter.

Yeah, the people you've described don't exist, but there are people who might vote for Democrats if they focus on issues that affect them directly, and might vote for Republicans if they do

Massive misunderstanding of the reasons people were mad about Yasuke

My .cursorrules consists of just "don't praise me"

Right wing is when you ban death threats

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

"This Whole Thing Smacks Of Gondor," i holler as i overturn my uncle's funeral pyre and turn the 4th Age of Man into the 4th Age of Shit

every day i go in to the office and collaborate with a graphical UI designer and every time he says he’s updated figma for me i do not say “figma balls” back at him. i would like a fifty thousand dollar bonus for this effort please

ANTHROPIC: “artificial superintelligence will certainly cause the end of the human species, which is we must build it before OpenAI does so we can have some chance of inscribing human moral values on the post-human future”

OPENAI: “what if we put ads in ChatGPT?”

Is there any option to deal with the inevitable failures?

The other place has so many situations where it's:

Banned
Wait a week
"Human" review
Still banned
Wait a month
Account reinstated

Because the categorizers are not good and the escalation path is fake

"everyone i don't like is a fuckin twelve year old" has intense "just turned thirteen" energy

Good(?) news @notyourdove.atproto.systems :

The Bluesky mods still maintain a broad understanding of what counts as a death threat

If I go to my profile, I can see some lists I made. There isn't an option to make a new one though. But if I use the mobile app's main menu's "Lists" entry, I see no lists, but I do have an option to make a new list.

Are there two kinds of lists?

There's a link to a chrome bug there with more details too
