The real Linus Tech Tips (now with 100% less sexual harrassment).

Honestly, it’s a programming focused instance, so I’m not quite sure how piracy even fits into it.

I think you and I have different visions of what the fediverse is. I don’t view this account as a “programming account on a programming forum, so all things should be programming related” if that’s what you are implying. I view instances as a comfortable home for my existence in the fediverse, where local communities may be programming related, but I still have access to the fediverse as a whole.

Much like I chose the city I live in based on the communities and amenities I prefer most of the time, but I can still travel anywhere else in the world any time I choose.

I’m against actual pirated content being federated here, but I would still like to see discussion about piracy if it is acceptable within the laws of @snowe’s home country.

Miles O’Brien.

Is that what he’s called in the US? Over here he is called Kilometres O’Brien.

That’s fair. Demi did mention consent in her lyrics. I interpreted that a bit differently (that she may have felt too young to fully understand consent, not that she felt she was violated without consent). But I see your point.

Grooming and propriety are entirely different standards from rape. From what I gathered, they were claiming the former. Valderamma is being accused here of being a creepy sleazebag, not a criminal child rapist.

Rubber and nylon are both soft and are less likely to damage whatever you are hammering, but rubber is even softer and bouncier than nylon. I would use rubber when pounding wooden pieces of furniture together, but nylon would work better for forming soft metal like jewelry. Other specialty hammers like brass and copper are non-sparking and non-magnetic for use around flammable gases and sensitive equipment. They continue up the hardness scale – brass for softer applications and copper when you need more force. Finally, you have you traditional steel hammer that is usually made out of hardened steel and would really mess up that soft wood from earlier if you tried striking it directly.

The person you’re replying to said it was grooming and inappropriate. Don’t move the fucking goalposts.

Have you never met an American? Look at it from the perspective of an inferiority complex and you may begin to understand.

No. It may be proof that standardized tests are not useful measures of LLM intelligence, but human brains operate differently from LLMs, so these tests may still be very useful measures of human intelligence.

I’m glad everything worked out in the end. I hope snowe learned a couple of lessons from this. One about how to interact and respect the lived experiences of marginalized peoples, but also a lesson about not engaging with hexbear trolls in the first place.

You think that’s absurd? Have you never gotten married? Wedding photos are extremely important and while “she almost vomited” may be hyperbole, I can definitely understand being very pissed off if that was the only version of the photo. Our wedding photographer whitened our teeth in our photos and we requested that they undo that so we look like ourselves. The sentiment was nice, but we didn’t want that. I would have been pretty unhappy if they hadn’t held onto the originals and were unable to revert our teeth back to their normal shades. Photos of our bridal showers and dress hunting were nearly as important as the wedding photos themselves. I can understand being upset with this undesired result.

Same! I’m pretty sure that was also my smallest phone, before they started going the other direction.

Arabs are white, dumbass.

Do you really work with memory, storage, and bandwidth? If so, have you EVER run across an instance where memory, storage, or bandwidth were referred to in millibits? Memory, storage, and bandwidth are extremely important in my job, though not my direct focus, and I can say over 50 years as a sysadmin and coder, I have never encountered “mb” and had it actually mean “millibits”. Literally not once. Now “Mb” definitely has some ambiguity (in bandwidth, it’s used for Megabits, and in memory/storage, it’s more often than not a typo of MB), but “mb” actually meaning “millibits”? No, friend. Just no.

They’re pretty fonts and they’re released under SIL Open Font License 1.1. I dig it.

Eris tells us we should partake joyously of a hot dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).

Detroit Michigan, “motor city”, is home to a lot of car manufacturers and also much crime.

I prefer Sidebery to Tree Style Tab. I’ve used both quite a bit, but I really like Sidebery’s snapshot option to save and reload snapshots of your session, either manually or on a schedule.

In my country, we “fall back” in the fall and get an extra hour of sleep. Springtime is when we lose an hour. Is it the opposite where you are?
