Headlines should not say “Harvard”, they should name the researchers. (Rachel Greene in this case.)

I don’t know why I had to write this.

sounds like you DO have a use for one…

Why does Redhat auto mount my extra hard drives at /run/media but Debian & Co put it in /media/?

hmmmm? Exactly. 9/11 was an inside job.

That’s neat!

yogthos: I have problem y. How can I solve problem y?

StackOverflow: You don’t solve problem y. You solve problem x so that problem y never comes into being.

yogthos: Oh wow. Shit okay, well what if I’m already having problem y though? How can -

StackOverflow: bruh. Why are you even still thinking about problem y? Problem y isn’t real; it can’t hurt you. Problem y was just a mirage. Get it? It was a red herring. An epistemological myth you told yourself too many times and started believing. Problem y is just a sickness of the mind made manifest. Cleanse yourself of it.

lol I know you’re not saying that to be dismissive I just like dramatizing things

I feel the existence of an “export” option in a piece of software is noble in this day and age, and I’m so appreciative of it.

It says “look, I don’t WANT you to go to my competitor, but I’m not gonna try to hold your data hostage to prevent it.”

It’s class, as the Scottish would say.

You can’t keep secrets from the future.

Heard that once in a song about how all encryption is doomed to break against future math/computing power. Great eery phrase.

whaaaaaaaa this is so tight. I use an interactive session as a calculator on my pc and always wish there was a way to refer to the last result.

There’s no reason to think that I’m no longer chasing my dream, that I’m being dragged by it is there? - Marc Maron

Sad little human. I have written my treatises into the warp and weft of reality itself. I have twisted my curiosity into the folds of your DNA and stamped my waxing madness into the ragged edges of the telomeres that mark your days as numbered. I have made of the stars a celestial QR code that burns across the skies of every planet, that burns across the eyes of every ape who stares into the night and asks “why?”. I announced The Work with a bang of gas and light and awe and set time itself into motion so my scripture could expand eternally into the infinite, benighted expanse.

He doesn’t mean he could end it at any time. He says “if I’m elected” cause he’s talking about the time period after he won the election but before he actually took office.

The moment you win the election and become the person who will DEFINITELY be the president in a couple of months, your bargaining power with other nations (and anyone really) goes through the roof compared to what you had as a mere candidate.

I’ve stated that last as a fact though it’s just what seems self-evidently true to me.

It’s a lemmy account setting. If the Boost app does not expose the show “show scores” setting you can change it in a browser and Boost should reflect the change once you restart it. To make the change, just go to https://lemmy.world/ and go to your account settings after you log in.

Unfortunately I think there’s been a good bit of evidence recently that people WILL accept it. As a prime example lemmy hasn’t exactly replaced reddit despite the relative uproar that the API changes caused. Netflix & co just keep hiking prices and people just keep buying it.

And then on the technical side, if the ads are coming from the server it’s possible youtube might just refuse to serve the rest of the video stream until all or most the ad’s runtime has passed. It depends on how serious they want to get about capturing the revenue lost to adblock users.
