The Andrew/Bill Gates one is creepy as fuck.

“Bill, I can’t let my mom find out about this. She’s basically the pope.”

I don’t usually wish for a crane disaster.

I really like the way you wrote this comment with the languages intermingled, with a touch of translation and the rest left to context.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Amendment#Platforms_affected https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions/which-platforms-are-age-restricted

eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court.

Services which do not currently meet the definition of ‘age-restricted social media platform’ should routinely self-assess, including when introducing a new social feature or function or when observing changes in the ways existing and new account holders are using their service.

So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.

For next year, the days chosen seem to fall in line with the Trump administration’s “America-first” policies.

A journalist self-censored ‘racist’ to the regime-approved synonym “America-first”.

There’s no way to connect this to other policies except ‘shitting on black people in the most petty way possible’.

There’s still a few of us out here using ROPs and texture units

I try to use firejail on nixos when I can’t do something in the build sandbox.

It’s painful, and I’m always on the lookout for something better. I’d at least like a portal-ish system where I can easily add things to a sandbox while it’s running.

Edit: if anyone has any issues or discussions about this I’d like to contribute.

That’s tough. The most versatile things are the basics: flour, milk, eggs, etc. but that’s not very exciting.

I think the trick is to accumulate all that stuff and then find random other ingredients to focus a recipe on.

For example right now they always have Leeks at the market, and they are pretty cheap, so I’ve been making a lot of pies with them.

I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety

Sounds like she’s not getting serious threats, but she’s getting targeted marketing / extortion from security firms.

Yeah I’ve seen this a few times recently.

I think it might be https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/issues/1711

At 10x speed

I got these confused for the longest time and finally played Outer Wilds earlier this year. It’s a masterpiece

Chilling champagne and filling balloons I hope.

It helps to be old

I have a kid with who prefers this sort of thing, so I often try to perfect something with the minimum ingredients.

Bread: flour, water, salt, starter Hamburger: beef, salt, charcoal grill Leek pie: flour, butter, water, leeks, gruyère, cream, salt

I recently started making fried chicken by marinating some chicken thighs in salt, sugar, vinegar brine for a day, coating it in literally just cornstarch, and frying it twice.

I will happily eat complicated food, but I think all the above are excellent and are all about quality ingredients and technique.

‘bite down’ is also a lie

They are more frightened of one potential leftist senator than the three branches of government controlled by actual Nazis.

(1) boilerplate code that is so predictable a machine can do it

The thing I hate most about it is that we should be putting effort into removing the need for boilerplate. Generating it with a non-deterministic 3rd party black box is insane.

Pierre Poilievre’s brand has been simple and effective, an anti-elite crusader promising to fight for the “common people” against a rigged system.

God this is fucking depressing.

I don’t know what it takes for people to realise that the NDP is an option for the working class. It’s probably some combination of the leader’s attributes, and competent staff getting the right messages out in the right places. I hope they can get it right.

It’s like another attempt at programming with natural language, except using a non-deterministic black box.

They should call it Wish-BASIC ™
