Coding is totally obselete, bro. AI can totally write all the code, trust me bro. You just gotta know how to tell it what code to write, like learn some keywords and stuff, bro. Like, as long as you check how it produces looping mechanisms and tell it when it should use polymorphism and stuff, it’ll totally do all the work bro. You don’t need to know how to code, just the right sequence of keywords and commands so the AI can write all the code.

This will surely solve the fentanyl crysis!

If they don’t call back to some of the '89 cartoon, I’m not interested.

We joke a lot because what is happening in the US is really scary.

Ubuntu minus snaps plus a better DE? Mint.

Uhh, it’s because you can “see”/“C” light. Shorthand, duhh.

Even more apparent is when you draw the parallel to birth defects, diseases, or literally any reason we affect our bodies.

Pretty much all bigots don’t realize it. There are almost no Bond villains in real life–humans can’t really exist in a state where they truly believe they’re the “bad guy.” Some people know they’re wrong, but they see themselves as a victim, not a villain.

Not only do they not recognize their bigotry, they believe themselves to be the “good guys” in this situation, with opinions on other people ranging from condescending pity to complete disregard.

If you’re genuinely curious, I can give you a glimpse into their rationality (though I strongly disagree with it).

Say, for just a brief moment, that you consider trans people to be mentally ill. Calling them by their preferred pronouns would be like giving a drink to an alcoholic–you’d be encouraging it, which would be to their detriment. And worse, you’d be liable to whatever diety might be displeased with your actions that caused someone else to continue in their sin.

Of course, that only works if you have a very poor understanding of both gender and theology. The real reason the bigots don’t like trans people is because it challenges their worldview, which is uncomfortable. And instead of facing that head on, they’d rather try to justify their current view.

The Oatmeal wrote a great info comic on this.

Then sell it to a demolition derby show.

Relevant self-promotion: I created a custom launcher, Mere Launcher, in part to help someone with tremors. This launcher uses no swipe gestures on the home page and the favorites are fairly large by default. Hope it’s useful!

Someone who asks for help with their laptop, then opens it to reveal what appears to be several years worth of snacks smashed into the keyboard and on the screen. No, Doug, I don’t want to drive.

To be fair, I’ll use the more convenient shortcuts (cut/copy/paste, select all, save) that are genuinely easier to do with one hand. But Alt+F4? It either requires two hands or else your hand needs to qualify for Cirque de Soleil to hit it properly. Some of the “standard” keybinds are often more trouble than moving the pointer.

Green tomatoes fried in bacon fat? Sounds pretty good to me.

For me, this show is kinda like McDonald’s ice cream. It’s barely able to be called what it’s trying to be, and it’s not that great, but I’m gonna eat it either way.

My first (and still my favorite) thing I designed from scratch is my Happy Mug.

My wife and I both have Android phones, and in Ente, all new photos are automatically added to a “Camera” album. So we share those with each other, and that gives us access to everything we need. Hopefully they eventually do partner sharing (it’s possible with E2EE, I’m guessing it just wasn’t super high on the priority list).

I switched to Ente a little while ago. It has E2EE as well as facial recognition (which is done locally on a device). In my initial usage, it does seem to match faces decently, but I haven’t tried it for other stuff yet. Might be worth a look.

It has a certain type of witty humor, it’s not for everyone but it’s one of my favorites.
