Is it just me, or do programmers only come in "lightweight" and "Rivals Þor in trying to drink the oceans dry" varieties?

Somehow I manage to be both. My alcohol tolerance is very high (which is great... I like a little buzz but never want to be actually drunk), but for me, one toke is over the line.

No, that's a person who always believes they're sick. You're thinking of hemophiliac.

Before covid lockdown I made my living as a street performer, doing magic shows for crowds of strangers. In that very niche community, "Fat hats!" is a common farewell or replacement for "good luck". In this case "hat" refers to the donations in the hat rather than the actual hat.

Hasbro was founded in 1923 and has a history of over a hundred years.

Yep, that's how years work.

The discipline is "mathematics." It's really not unreasonable that in some parts of the world, it got shortened to maths.

Canadian here.

I said "sorry" (I have no idea why)

I may have a guess for you.

Beau of the fifth column does 3-10 minute videos doing political analysis in what looks like a garage.

He said on a longer FAQ video that he's set things up to hide his channel's income from himself. He draws a salary that's enough to take care of his family, but he doesn't know how much more the channel earns -- he doesn't want his content to be influenced even unconsciously by which videos The Algorithm say paid better.

What in that article do you think contradicts what they said?

Sounds like they have been.

Thanks! I had heard about this and went to the linked article above hoping to actually see it without having to deal with twitter.

I've been running opensuse for years now. It's great. Welcome aboard

I spread pesto inside my grilled cheese sandwiches

I had the same question, and decided that the pour over is the closest in the image. I've been an anarchist a long time anyway.

You can use keepass in multiple ways where the password never touches the clipboard. I usually use it with a Firefox extension that fills in the fields. You can also have it swap back to your last window and autotype (not sure exactly what the mechanism is).

If you do copy, it clears it from the clipboard history ~10s after copying. I'm pretty sure that's configurable.

You're not the first person to have that moment. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/aug/26/naomi-klein-naomi-wolf-conspiracy-theories

I use keepassdx which has an extension for working with Firefox. I use syncthing to copy the database file between my phone, laptop, and backup location.

I stand corrected. I haven't used anything other than proton mail in a while and it works there. I thought it was part of the standard

I did also, because my feed is mostly coding stuff and I actually use lisp.

In case you missed the second image on the original post, that text is in this pattern in glow in the dark thread

It Could Happen Here is often talking about what's going on that week in the world. I wouldn't try to listen to their whole backlog, but I usually catch an episode or two a week.

Behind the Bastards is great. Since I found it (Summer 2020, I'd reckon), I've listened to most of what has come out since.

Cool People who did Cool Stuff is a sort of spin off of btb. Deep dives on people and movements who were resisting the bastards. It's only been going on a couple of years, so the backlog is more manageable if that's your thing.

I listen to Past Times on the Dollop feed most weeks. The Dollop is another deep dive history podcast. On Past Times, they read headlines and articles from different newspaper every week. Usually from the late 19th through early 20th century, but they've gone as far back as the 1600s.

Anything by Jamie Loftus is great. She's mostly done short run things on a single topic. She's on the Bechdel cast, too which I listen to occasionally.

You might enjoy The Deprogram, which has a less daunting backlog.

Both fit under the definition of genocide.

Ooh, did infinity come to Lemmy? That was my app for the old site for... I dunno, time is weird... a couple of years?

I've been enjoying liftoff over here. It's been solid enough that I stopped looking.

I'm from the US and I don't order hot tea in a place that might do this. I wouldn't trust them to make it, either, though. My reason is that the water they'd bring just isn't going to be hot enough to steep with.

I love black tea steeped in water that started close to boiling when the tea was added and poured (or teabags removed) before the bitter tannins get too strong. Even cheap black tea can be decent if it's brewed well.

If they bring me a pot of water, it probably came from the hot water thing on their coffee maker and it already started not hot enough even before they put it in a non-insulated metal pot. If it were hot enough, I'd actually prefer to put the bag in myself so I know when to take it out.

On average, folks in my country have never even had hot tea brewed well, and I think that bad tea is worse than bad coffee.

If I'm in, say, an Asian place, I'd be more likely to order tea since I reckon the staff are more likely to know how good it can be and how to make it.

I hadn't seen the spam myself, but I think it's to do with this.

They were talking about the device from the article, when a non-wired remote was a new and neat idea. Also, standardized, long-lasting batteries may not have been as common as we're used to these days.

That's the world where the original engineers decided not to go with an electronic device, so they didn't have customers buying the bleeding edge tech and thinking it had bricked a couple of months after purchase because "did you change the battery?" wasn't a consideration they were used to yet

There's not a complete sentence after the period, so no.

What movie is it?

What show is that?

Amusingly, there's an issue with the app I use for youtube that means I'm stuck with a dubbed version in a language I don't speak.

We were definitely doing it on forums/newsgroups/listservs and in chat at least as far back as the early 90s. Using full keyboards.

On your phone? As someone who lives in emacs and has done aoc in the past, I'm impressed

It depends on your home instance and what communities other users have caused it to know about. I mostly browse "all, 6 hours" with hardly anything blocked, and I don't get furry stuff.
