I remember hearing during lockdown that sales of business pants had tanked, but sales of business shirts hadn’t.

It was originally one computer that everyone connected to, it wasn’t a fleet of separate computers like Windows PCs.

12% of humans believe we aren’t apes

All humans are apes, those people more so than most.

A lot of writers apparently have no idea how to write interesting female characters. Some of the pushback from viewers / readers to increasing the number of female characters isn’t about the characters being female, it’s about them being bad characters. Boring, annoying, quippy, etc.

Nobody wants to admit that their movie flopped because it wasn’t very good, so they blame sexism. Or piracy, that one’s always popular.

it’s a good beginner distro because getting thrown into deep water is how one learns to swim

That’s… not how it works, for distros or for actual swimming. Usually when someone who can’t swim is thrown into deep water, they drown and/or reinstall Windows which is much the same thing.

Isn’t this the guy who got called out for trying to use social media brigading to force Linux kernel rust patches through? There’s a good chance those stalkers are fictional.

It’s not 2024, and the inability to hide things has apparently just made it more blatant when we decide to ignore genocide.

Struggling with a tough foe? Remember, just keep your Health above 0 while lowering your enemy’s Health to 0. Works every time!

Going along is easy until it ends with shit like the Holocaust.

Have you seen the reactions every time someone suggests it’d be nice if Israel stopped shooting people and taking their land? We’re pro-genocide now.

Obligatory reminder that the Third-of-a-Pound burger failed because people thought it was smaller than a Quarter Pounder, since it had a three in it instead of a four.

The benchmarks are against vanilla Wine. A lot of people are using the fsync patches, so ntsync is more about accuracy - things that didn’t work under fsync should work under ntsync.

Instead of choosing between accuracy and performance hacks, ntsync should do it properly.

Yeah… One of my great great grandmothers, nobody was ever allowed to know how old she was while she was alive. It was this weird mystery.

Turns out if you knew her age you could easily count backwards and work out that when she got married she was 13 years old and about four months pregnant.

I only get told to pull forward when there’s a queue, and they want to get the person behind me to the window.

is it always running, looking for barcodes in all the photos you take?

Has Google’s camera app added that yet? If not it’s only a matter of time.

When my phone’s barcode reader app sees a web link, it fetches the page’s title to display next to the actual link. So it is going to that web server and fetching resources by itself. Even though it isn’t actually rendering the page and running javascript, it might be exploitable.

This image from further down the page is funnier here.

But seriously, having a sense of taste for the interior of one’s home does not make a person gay— it means you’re an adult with good taste. It does, however, run the risk of classifying you as “fabulous.”

“I’ve had loads of gay experiences. I’ve seen a pair of shoes and said, I have to have them! I’ve described a cake as ‘to die for’. But I’ve never had the gay experience of having another man’s cock in my mouth and/or bum. And I think that really is the one that counts.”

Maybe making progress during year three of your three day special military operation isn’t really something to celebrate.
