  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    Jump

  • 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.

  • It absolutely is. We only encourage gun and violence culture in real life, especially by authoritarian figures and their representatives. Allowing such in virtual spaces where no one can actually be hurt or killed runs counter to our patriotic ideals.

  • It’s always good to have something to aspire to.

    For me, I’ll keep admiring Warren for as long as she keeps beating up banks. I don’t really give a shit about a primary they both lost anymore.

  • Presidential elections are about as competitive as anything gets.

    Bernie’s been over it for years; she’s literally one of his best allies in the senate. I assume if the person on the other end of the fight can get over it, the people who weren’t even there can figure it out too and stop wasting energy attacking the people who want to help us.

  • For some reason people seem to love purity-testing Warren and finding her wanting. Warren made the CFPB happen. Of course, now it’s being dismantled by republicans, but I’d be willing to bet that her work has accomplished more actual progressive goals than anyone in this comment section.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

    Jump

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

    Jump

  • 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.
