But the comments will stay up, they just won’t have your username on them anymore

That’s the service post in a row that I misread: I was like, who watches Star Wars for science?

NightAuthor ,

Usually 8-5 with an hour lunch break

NightAuthor ,

Or can’t afford a giant pack, so you get poorer value. Being poor is expensive

NightAuthor ,

My understanding of the words is similar. Irony is when you expressly think something will happen, and then it doesn’t (or vice versa).

So obviously the owner was thinking “my car is definitely not going to be crushed by a tree” and thus this is actually ironic.

NightAuthor ,

I think the issue is the portrayal of the types of men who use such services in media. They’re usually not good people.

NightAuthor ,

Labor as coerced selling of one’s body is an interesting view.

NightAuthor ,

What incredible acting, I felt like I was there

NightAuthor ,

I wonder what their company culture is like.

  1. It’s a nut
  2. Have you seen your lungs?
NightAuthor ,

What’s it actually supposed to be?

NightAuthor ,

Without cleaning it first, and without gloves

NightAuthor ,

It spread to social tab too.

NightAuthor ,

Agreed on the subject of tickling of the sides/hips. But light tickley touch on more sensitive skin (face, head, back… other places… NOT FEET) is amazing to me, almost to no end.

NightAuthor ,

Yeah, we need to get this in front of the Supreme Court.

NightAuthor ,

Yeah, I think the connection between being on a raised platform and dancing is stripping. Making this a horribly tone deaf, if not intentionally undermining, joke.

… I took a second to consult ChatGPT…

Other connections seem to be all related to a performance of some type. I very much doubt this joke was not about stripping.

That’s actually kind of fucking disgusting behavior. Like I’ve said elsewhere, they make stupid throwaway sexual jokes in so many videos, it’s easy to imagine it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

NightAuthor ,

Maybe the fact that there’s nothing to get is the joke?

The Steam Deck is changing how normies think of gaming PCs.

Just thought I’d share something I thought was pretty interesting. I have a mother in law who is… well let’s just say she’s a stereotypical older mom who doesn’t own a computer, just an iPad. During the pandemic, she started getting into Nintendo games and bought herself a Switch. Fast forward a few years later and...

NightAuthor ,

I mean, what’s another way of easily conveying the same idea. “Those people who you might not typically consider to be X”?

I feel like I’ve seen and heard normies used in a variety of contexts, to refer to people outside of a particular group. Not to say they can’t be in the group, or that there’s anything wrong with them.

But then again, what do I know.

NightAuthor ,

You should look at your logs.

I’m pretty sure I read a meta analysis that concluded that a little meat is better than no meat. But that hardly matters bc when you tell someone about paleo they end up shoveling chicken, beef, and dairy down their throat with little to no vegetables and fruits (I think from the same analysis)

New Anti-Consumer MacBook Pros - Teardown And Repair Assessment - Apple Silicon M1/M2 (youtu.be)

No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.

NightAuthor ,

On these machines they are proprietary SSD chips that you can’t buy anywhere.

It’s a worry I see posted a ton, and have been advised numerous times that email is the one thing you don’t wanna selfhost.

NightAuthor ,

“Opening” is quite an interesting word in this context

NightAuthor ,

Mad it’s an external link with no comments to read instead of visiting the link.

NightAuthor ,

I think the main method of discovery is through your network, and through your local instance. Federated timeline tends to be chaotic, but I definitely like reading my local timeline on my regional masto instance. But I believe that was the intention on the design, no ‘trending’, no algorithm, just the people you follow.

NightAuthor ,

You’re just part of the other side of the statistic.

NightAuthor ,

Give me a Technology Connections (@TechConnectify) video on it

NightAuthor ,

I wonder if designating like 8 lines would help the issue. Portland Oregon (US) has this same lining up at the bar issue.

NightAuthor ,

I use private trackers and haven’t had issues not using a VPN in the US

And interest rates are pretty up there, having companies attempting to run lean and safe.

­Most Americans favor restrictions on false information, violent content online (www.pewresearch.org)

65% of Americans support tech companies moderating false information online and 55% support the U.S. government taking these steps. These shares have increased since 2018. Americans are even more supportive of tech companies (71%) and the U.S. government (60%) restricting extremely violent content online.

NightAuthor ,

What a slippery slippery slope….

NightAuthor ,

Right, and it sounds like people want more restrictions. So it started with some reasonable restrictions baked into the bill of rights, and we’ve been losing rights at an alarming rate, so if people are already on board then I imagine we’ll get more restrictive speech legislation.

NightAuthor , (edited )

Thanks, yeah, I definitely am the kind of person to wish for a second holocaust. /thread

guess this rule doesn’t apply to admins

NightAuthor ,

Admin spreading misinformation?

NightAuthor ,

Your comment seems to imply it’s a bad thing. Do you have bad experiences with censorship?

Oh, I swear I read through those docs before and didn’t see that feature. Well that’s cool.

I ended up writing my own shitty little script bc I couldn’t find an existing one. Glad it’s out there.

Reddit is getting rid of its Gold awards system (www.theverge.com)

Reddit is removing its current coins and awards system on September 12th. Users will no longer be able to buy awards like Reddit Gold to give to other users’ posts. Reddit says the current awards system is too cluttered and confusing, so they plan to introduce a new simpler system in the coming months that will allow users to...

It’s nice that they’re giving 2 months of notice. More than the devs got.

By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise.

Venture capital spurred by effectively negative interest rates.

Thing is, caffeine is physically addictive. Weed is not.

But you can make a habit out of anything.

On battery: Samsung seems to have a battery quality issue for many years now.

On longevity: I think every Samsung flagship I’ve had felt very noticeable slower after just like 3-6 months of use.

Ive sworn off of Samsung for the foreseeable future.

NightAuthor ,

Someone should be keeping a list

NightAuthor ,

That is not how full screen works on Mac. Why are you asserting something demonstrably false?

NightAuthor ,

Is it the application you’re using? Something bugged on your system? Is it an older system where maybe that was a shortcoming?

I pulled up my Mac which I use to use with multiple monitors many times and tested again to ensure I wasn’t crazy and nope. I can have two different full screen apps open at the same time, one on each monitor.

Or a full screen on one, and the other just showing windowed applications with my dock visible.

NightAuthor ,

Why is beehaw surfacing this 3 year old post for us?

NightAuthor ,

Is it a flaw in the algorithm, or is it a failure to execute the algorithm at scale (which I guess would be a different type of flaw)
