Bipta,

This is a terrible fit for asklemmy. Find somewhere else to post it.

Bipta,

It would be The Road by Cormac McCarthy, if I could read it, but it's forever above my reading level.

Bipta,

If the US becomes a fascist state, you won't be safe anywhere on this planet. I wouldn't take any comfort in not being an American.

Flash, Java (if they were open source and standardized) was better concept than most of today's web frameworks

At least there was a distinction between web of documents (WWW) and shipped apps with custom canvas. Rendering apps with web’s DOM is stupid. It makes websites a mess and relies on everyone using the same monoculture of browsers (like we now have Chromium, WebKit and Gecko, all nearly identical)....

Bipta,

Google is currently trying to kill the open web via Chromium. I'm not at all convinced Mozilla could change that, and giving up their foundation in favor of Chromium would only give Google more leverage.

Bipta,

Not very programmer humor, but horrifyingly accurate.

Bipta,

No

Bipta,

That doesn't avoid their concern about condemning their kids to watch them go through it.

Bipta,

I'm 40% dolomite!

Bipta,

How many kidnapped in furtherance of the Russian-perpetrated genocide?

Bipta,

This is probably it. iPhones all meet Apples standards but low end Android devices can be true garbage.

It's like having a shitty netbook and swearing off Windows as a result.

Bipta,

Somebody been watching too many tik toks

What a ridiculous logical leap.

Bipta,

I think that's generally a good argument, however the rate and level of dopamine hits from TikTok and YouTube Shorts may far surpass that of prior mediums and so actually warrant additional considerations and precautions.

But then, I may just be an old man.

Bipta,

This is a rather interesting viewpoint and I can't really find any fault with it.

Bipta,

I think they meant that Trump said he'd say it was rigged if he didn't win.

Fulton County Sheriff's Office investigating threats to grand jurors who voted on Trump indictment (www.cbsnews.com)

Law enforcement in Fulton County, Georgia, are investigating threats to members of the grand jury that returned the indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 other associates after the grand jurors’ personal information was shared online, the sheriff’s office said Thursday.

Bipta,

Sure, but it's expensive to protect the former grand jurors 24/7 so it seems rather likely they'll be targeted and find themselves without adequate protection.

Bipta,

I once had an off duty officer threaten me by mentioning the low rate of solved, and even lower convicted, murders.

Bipta,

There's no bathroom.

We'll get that fixed.

Bipta,

Still in my clipboard copied from another story I just learned about where a mother and son took their own lives due to harassment from his fans:

The father wrote,

"I am alone now. I have nothing left. I hate you, Linus Sebastian. You built your empire destroying the lives of others. I do not know why people idolize you. You are a monster."

Despite offering condolences for his passing, Linus Tech has made no move towards discouraging their fans from engaging in harassment.

Bipta,

So then Linus should be treated as also possibly lying, yeah?

Bipta,

Button to disable all sensors? Which phone has this?

Bipta,

That just proves that you can't use the sensors.

Bipta,

The only thing that makes this obviously fake is that it claims she downloaded them from people's phones, rather than from some centralized NSA data store... And the idea an NSA employee would be held accountable publicly and cause bad PR.

Bipta,

I really doubt China did this for any reason besides their own national security.

Bipta,

Yes it can break pihole too, iirc. Not sure of the exact nature of it, but basically it checks that you loaded the page as intended. If resources are blocked, it didn't load as intended.

Two LGBTQ films were slapped with R and NC-17 ratings. Critics say queer sex scenes are treated differently (www.cbc.ca)

When adapting the 2019 LGBTQ romantic novel Red, White & Royal Blue for the screen, Matthew Lopez was careful to circumvent an R-rating. The film has a handful of sex scenes that stop short of full-frontal nudity — there’s some bare butts and, naturally, shirtless men....

Bipta,

Well said.

Bipta,

Yeah we know. Have you seen rates of depression and suicide lately?

Bipta,

That's a really oversimplified view. Some small indie studio does not guarantee a shitbag is getting your money.

Bipta,

Anybody know the relevant Kierkegaard quote?

The Pentagon plans to shake up DC’s National Guard, criticized for its response to protests, Jan. 6 (apnews.com)

The Pentagon is developing plans to restructure the National Guard in Washington, D.C., in a move to address problems highlighted by the chaotic response to the Jan. 6 riot and safety breaches during the 2020 protests over the murder of George Floyd, The Associated Press has learned.

Bipta,

So Pence ordered it, which is not strictly legal, but that's how things had to go with the president attempting a coup.

Bipta,

No. Catnip triggers some cat-specific pheromone receptors if I recall.

Bipta,

And don't forget to leave it a negative review.

Bipta,

You made a sweeping generalization with no information. That would be fine if you weren't now being snarky about it.

Bipta,

I used to live closer than that to my elementary school and I was forbidden (by the school) from walking to school.

Bipta,

Why is everyone worried about giving power to fascist Florida and Texas? It only takes two or three brain cells to figure it out.

Bipta,

World news, to me, is stuff that affects the world at large. This is what would fit in news or offbeat on Reddit, but never worldnews.

Bipta,

Neither one came close to scratching the itch like The Martian in my view. They did lead me to a Sherlock Holmes kick though.

Bipta,

I think The Star Diaries by Lem might be as good a fit. Personally I enjoyed it even more than Solaris.

Bipta,

That filename brings me back.

Bipta,

Too much fake tan.

Bipta,

No, only dying.

Bipta,

It's a utopia for industrialists.

Bipta,

This is sort of new. IIRC this is like 1000x more toxic than what the EPA would normally allow.

Bipta,

5% of the time it won't send the attestation data, and that's supposed to prevent this from being used to gatekeep the entire web.

What a fucking joke. That approach will never work and they know it. Attestation will become fully mandatory if integrated into Chromium.

Bipta,

Giacomo Chiapparini, 74, was buried under the cheeses when a shelf broke in his warehouse in the northern Lombardy region on Sunday, creating a domino effect which brought down thousands of wheels, the firefighter Antonio Dusi told AFP on Monday.

Finally got access to Tildes today... Seems unimpressive (kbin.social)

I got an invite code and so spent a bit of time browsing around because I'd heard good things about it. But I was surprised at how basic and non-diverse it all is. The forums are preset and are very generic. The conversations are definitely better than Reddit, but no better or worse than the ones I've had with people on Fedi....

Bipta,

Waitlists are almost always just for hype.

Bipta,

Not for me. I got logged out and couldn't log in for days. Finally I cleared the site data and it worked. Now I have to do that every time the problem occurs. It seems worsened, not fixed.

Bipta,

The problem is that I have to clear it every time I get logged out, which is nuts.

TIL 70,000 years ago a volcanic eruption killed many humans, leaving only 1,000 human alive in the whole word. This created a population bottleneck which vastly reduced diversity in human genetics. (en.wikipedia.org)

The Toba eruption (sometimes called the Toba supereruption or the Youngest Toba eruption) was a supervolcano eruption that occurred around 74,000 years ago at the site of present-day Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia. It is one of Earth's largest known explosive eruptions. The Toba catastrophe theory holds that this event caused a...

Bipta,

Imagine alien species that didn't have this bottleneck. It might just be warfare along racial lines all of the time.

Truly the stars had to align for us to exist like this, I think.
