  • Check their bio.

  • It's saying she survived both of them.

  • Have you looked at the signup page for your Lemmy instance lately?

  • The user said Microsoft reached out 10 days later, asking them to fill out a recovery form and promising to help them "every step of the way," but they haven't heard from the company since.

    More like nevery step of the way, am I right?

  • sxiv and pqiv have both been great for my niche use case, which involves displaying a single image that auto-updates via inotify.

  • Just to defend your metaphor, email providers also sometimes defederate from specific others, due to spam/abuse.

  • Salad Theory

    A comprehensive, precise, and pedantic branch of set theory pertaining to food categorization.

    Background

    In our office, we sometimes enjoy pedantic conversations where we attempt to properly define ambiguous terms. Naturally, when the sandwich controversy took the world by storm around 2016[3], we were interested.

    We talked a lot about sandwiches, then went beyond. The sandwich debates spun off numerous side discussions regarding the categorization of other foods. Fatefully, one coworker raised the question of whether a salad could be called a pizza.

    The answer to that question shocked and appalled us. Inescapably, a pizza was actually a salad.

    Many heated lunchtime conversations ensued. We attacked the problem from different angles. We debated the merits of novel definitions. People got sick of it and avoided some of us at lunch.

    But the truth could not be avoided. Begrudgingly, the office pedants were forced to reach an agreement: All edible foods[1] are salads.

    We wrote up our conclusions in an internal document in May 2017. We were content to keep this dark knowledge to ourselves, but alas. Spurred by the release of food category theories which clearly misrepresent the nature of salads[4], the time has come to share our findings with the world.

  • Epoch comment, yo.

  • I appreciate the context because I didn't get it either, since "going for" can be understood to mean different things.

  • What OS is complete without one?

  • I feel like there should be a term for them.

  • Wild game? You kids ever play Mousetrap?

  • So are 14-year-olds (I assume).

  • Oh, good point. Don't mind me! By the time I read through the article I had already forgotten the point of original post.

  • odds at 1/1400

    This stat confused me, so I read that that's the odds of it happening within a human lifetime.

  • I see! I just assumed that's what you meant.

  • If your phone isn't learning that your username is correct, there's probably a "personal dictionary" you can add it to so it doesn't get flagged.

  • Em dashes are supposed to be padded with something like a half-space on either side. Some computer systems do proper kerning and will space them out automatically if you don't manually add spaces, but most don't do it. Like you, I would just add full spaces because em dashes practically touching the words is bullshit.

  • If you're not friends with P you're not friends with me.
