In my non-us country portable ones are not admissible. They take you to the station to blow into the big machine. You can refuse of course but that doesn’t lead to anything good.

Is this their equivalent to the fascists Argentina?

… or is it more like the Tate brothers permissive jurisdiction.

Probably both I guess.

I share your concerns about AI slop but you’re being a bit of a jerk.

Not everyone speaks English.

We already knew that though.

At this rate we will discover at some time in 2027 that Epstein is dead.

They’re slow walking this. Classic Trump legal strategy.

He’s not going to face justice. Its sickening that he’s lied, stolen, and raped kids and others his whole life and been promoted to King of the world as the result, but thats just how it is.

At least after he’s dead he will become the distraction for who ever replaces him, so his legacy will be torn to shreds.

Sorry that’s a fairly simple view of reality.

People convince others of fallacies without lying all the time.

You can absolutely tell the truth while presenting a fiction.

The only question here, which we will likely never know, is the extent to which this testimony is an objective, balanced recount of the circumstances.

I don’t think the new account means anything at all. If you have a regular account that you use in the fediverse then you would dox yourself by posting a project you’ve been working on.

vibe-coding tools make the thrill of development accessible to more people - more people are making apps.

I think of it similarly to someone posting gen AI “art” in an art community. It’s a low effort post that I’m not going to engage with or be interested in.

piefed has a nice feature whereby new users have a starburst icon next to their username.

Interesting.

Even the post itself smells like slop.

You’re over thinking it. No need for the drama.

If you feel like hanging out with someone then do so, if not then dont.

Spend the time on hobbies, exercise, cultivating new relationships or reinvigorating old ones.

Besides which, of you could just propagate and pla t this stuff wherever, it wouldnt be rare and protected.

“Supplise!”

Its from this dumb racist joke I heard as a kid:

An Italian, a Scotsman, and a Chinese guy are hired at a construction site.

The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian, “You’re in charge of sweeping.”

To the Scotsman he says, “You’re in charge of shovelling.”

And to the Chinese man he says, “You’re in charge of supplies.”

So the foreman goes away for a couple of hours and when he returns, the pile of sand is untouched. He asks the Italian, “Why didn’t you sweep any of it?”

He replies “I no hava no broom, you saida to the Chinese guy that he wasa ina charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere.”

The foreman turns to the Scotsman and says, “And you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile.”

He replied, “Aye, ye did lad, bit ah couldnae git masel’ a shuvl! Ye left thon wee Chinese mannie in chairge of supplies, bit ah couldnae fin’ him onywhar.”

The foreman is really pissed off now and storms off towards the pile of sand to look for the Chinese guy. As he approaches the mound, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind the sand and yells…

“SUPPLISE!”

30 years later my partner and mother of my 2 children is Asian. Despite her best efforts her English is not great. We are a bilingual household, and this type of silly mis-spoken word thing comes up a lot.

Every time I read the word “supplies”, like yesterday my printer alerted me that I need to order supplies, I have a little chuckle imagining an Asian guy jumping out and surprising me.

Its lame. Its based on a racist stereotype. I dont make fun of people with language difficulties. But I will always find this joke worth a chuckle.

Websites that magically work when you change UA.

Wow. Did you manage to navigate to a web site like a big boy? I better get the stickers out.

Define soft fork

Sure but if devs don’t test sites in Firefox then very they don’t support Firefox.

This is very well documented, and a very common experience.

They were talking about exactly this on late night linux podcast just last week.

LOL

Got some examples?

I’m not talking about sites that claim not to support FF. I’m talking about sites that have broken features when visited in FF.

• my uni’s LMS
• my bank
• the popular accounting software I use at work
• the other accounting software I use at work
• the time tracking software we use
• google maps
• accommodation booking site

that’s just the stuff I can remember for the moment.

Me.

I use ungoogled chromium and librewolf, all day every day.

Loada of sites just dont work in FF.
