Skin seems a little undervalued.

Doesn’t have to he illegal at all… I refuse to give up having control because of stupid backwards laws.

well yeah, if you pretend the laws don’t exist then nothing has to be illegal.

Unfortunately, the promotion to raccoon manager does not come with a salary bump.

the battle between ad-blockers and ad-blocker-blockers is eternal. adblockers will adapt.

if i block ads, it’s only fair that google tries to block my blocking of their ads. calling this “enshittification” is silly, they didn’t make their product worse they just are doing a better job of enforcing the rule that’s always been there.

I mean, if you give people a long weekend they’re gonna celebrate.

I don’t know any white people who sat around in solemn reflection last weekend, but I know plenty who had an extra day of partying.

Ok, but give us some credit.

It was only last weekend we had a national holiday to celebrate how we treated the natives.

“droid” was actually a verizon brand, not motorola or google. any droid-branded phone was a verizon rebranding of a phone that was sold as something else outside the US.

but yeah, android never existed outside of google. Google bought out android before their first public release.

This is for all the farm workers, all the cotton-pickers

But… she realizes it isn’t, right? It’s only for fast food workers. Farm workers specifically don’t get this increased minimum wage.

password rotation is generally not considered a “best practice” but not doing something because it’s not a best practice is only a good strategy if you’re actually going to follow the best practices. password rotation is less effective than a good password manager and long randomly generated passwords that are unique to each site. requiring passwords be rotated can be an impediment to using strong unique passwords, which is why it’s not a good practice.

but a freshly rotated “MyNewPassword15” is a million times better than your password being “password”, or being the same thing you use on every sketchy website whose database has been breached a dozen times.

it seemed like a really weird decision for OpenAI to have an AI classifier in the first place. their whole business is to generate output that’s good enough that it can’t be distinguished from what a human might produce, and then they went and made a tool to try and point out where they failed.

Id make better people use it

Raising… pay?

No. There’s no way those two words can go together in that order. Get out of here with your crazy talk.

it sucks more everywhere else

“content recommendation is only for stupid people” is a brand new form of gatekeeping that i haven’t heard before!

Mastodon is a good reminder of why algorithmic feeds exist

The option for a chronological feed is nice, but without an algorithm filling in the gaps it’s really hard to get started on there

nothing about using a USB-C cable inherently means it has to support USB3.

framing it as “limits it to USB 3 Speeds” is misleading. iPhone has only ever supported USB 2, all they’re doing here is continuing to not upgrade to USB 3. the meeting where somebody proposed it went like this:

hey, should we put a USB 3 chip in the new iPhone?
nah, let’s just keep using the same one as the last generation

my experience with online friendships is that it’s much easier to self-select. you absolutely can get to know people really well over the internet, but it’s also much easier to completely ignore who seems a bit annoying. at least for me, gathering people in the same room and forcing some physical interaction is more likely to make me get to know the people i probably wouldn’t otherwise.

that being said, i think the whole productivity aspect is bunk and bosses want you in the office so they can say the things to you that they’re afraid to put into writing. “in person collaboration” isn’t code for you talking to your colleague, it’s code for bosses want to be able to catch employees in the hallways and ask them to work on pet projects that are outside the employees designated duties or priorities, without a meeting record.

Speaking as one of “them”, yes. Yes you are.

I’m pretty sure I recognize this spot - just west of cache creek on hwy 99 - and if it is where I think it is that whole hillside burned last summer.
