We didn’t have a video player, but our friends had a Looney Tunes VHS that included rabbit season / duck season, the Bugs Bunny opera, left turn at Albuquerque, and Duck Dodgers
We must have watched it over 100 times
The headline is not only bait but also wrong
At best, they could claim that AI-generated images are fueled by societal associations of negative attributes with obesity
And surely the use of the word phobia in an academic context should be more rigorous
The reason I would call reddit social media is that I don’t agree with any of those rules
The closest I would agree with is 2, and not based on lack of anonymity but instead on persistence of identity, and that being core to the experience
I was part of subreddits where users knew each other as distinct personalities, and could converse across different threads across time, and occasionally IRL from various meetups
When a website doesn’t have a lively and persistent ‘local’ community (maybe geographic, maybe subject etc) it can’t really be social
For some reason I don’t count youtube as social media - If I went to reddit and read comments without voting that would count, but youtube is just a video delivery platform (and I don’t read the comments). Not sure if that’s a real distinction I can make
Hackernews is a link-based message board, Ars is a article-based website
Both used to be just tech, but have started being a bit more general or tech-adjacent
Ars has specialist professional journalists, Hackernews links heavily favour tech industry professionals and deep dives
Lemmy + Hackernews + Arstechnica
What more is there to know?
As a technology article this is interesting
Not sure why they feel qualified to make statements like this:
“When ineffective policy results in a large chunk of the populace generationally living in yurts on the outskirts of urban areas, it’s clear that there is failure.”
Exactly the same, except the reason is that the eggs at the back can freeze if the carton is pushed back in the fridge, so I work from the far end to near
NTA yet. You’re not an asshole if you think that way, but you could be depending on how you act
If you suggested a kid free meetup and they said they would bring the kids anyway then the conversation is over - if you tell them you don’t want anything to do with their kids then they will think YTA and you won’t catchup, which is worse than now where you just won’t catchup
Maybe just tell them you’re going somewhere kids can’t come like a bar, and politely decline any offers to meetup elsewhere
I’ve been on Mint with Cinnamon for about 5 years across desktops, laptops, and home server
I had to update a machine with a version of Mint that was EoL this year, so I just upgraded through several major versions in a row with no issues
It was interesting seeing how much more polished each upgrade process was
And it keeps growing, there are another 5 that didn’t fit in the screenshot
It tells you right there in the log: “DRDY”
Your employer does not care about you. You are not important or irreplaceable
Take your time and energy and put it into your life, not their business
I have had coworkers die (not work related) and by the time you hear about it (like the next day) they have already worked out who will get the work done so the machine doesn’t have to stop
I think you can nap. As evidence I present the scene where Rita and Larry go to the morgue to identify Phil’s body. This suggests that the time loop continues the day beyond Phil-specific events (like death, and naps)
