Strong tree.

That’s why they’re all-in on authoritarianism.

Pathetic compared to a 150+ MPH train. You don’t even fucking realize how much of a backwards, loser country we’re in.

I’m seeing the same sort of behavior in !fuckcars, and that community does (or at least should) have a pretty strong sense of what’s appropriate.

The kicker is, the stuff being posted is appropriate — in fact, often higher quality than the memes some of the established users post — so I’m at a bit of a loss as to what I (as a mod) should be doing about it.

For any machines that are too inefficient to be worth continuing to compute with, you could at least save the power supplies for electronics projects. I’ve got some 12V addressable RGB Christmas lights being powered by an old ATX power supply, for example.

Enshittification means something more specific than just making a thing worse. It means making it worse in a way designed to exploit or take advantage of the user by stealing their personal information or something like that.

This is more like “value engineering” and “planned obsolescence.”

Nice try, article. The headline clearly says the volcano released magic super-germs from deep inside the Earth.

Well, less so now after seeing that!

Inb4 your comment is cited by some anthropologist in a research paper on meme history centuries from now.

Eh, you will survive.

The McDonald’s in Rome (specifically, the one near the Spanish Steps) is pretty darn nice, NGL. I got a gelato there once, which is better than anything I ever got at an American McDonalds.

(Ironically for the grandparent commenter’s point, I visited two McDonald’s on that trip specifically to see what might be different about them in other countries. The other one was in the Amsterdam airport during my layover, whereupon I got a McKrocket. It was suitably weird.)

I’m also a software engineer and am still interested in building my own PCs, but I like the GabeCube anyway because you literally cannot build a PC that small, not even with mini-ITX.

I kinda feel like I’d want a Strix Halo (Ryzen AI MAX+ 395) in that form factor even more, though.

Is metasearch really the best we can do? What about YaCy, or something else more like that?

The dream of truly Griswoldian Christmas lights slips ever further from our grasp. Sure, we can blind the neighbors more easily than ever, but what’s the fun of that if you can’t take down the whole power grid along with it? 😞

Once I started going to Dragon Con (Labor Day weekend), September also started feeling like Halloween season to me.

(It probably doesn’t help that more folks in my neighborhood put up decorations for Halloween than they do for Christmas, and start pretty early with them.)

For that reason, my Halloween decorations came down promptly on Nov 1. Maybe I should start decorating for Thanksgiving…

I can only assume it would be something like !moi_evv if it existed.

More like “pro-Semite of the year,” since Palestinians are Semites too!

Right, that’s what I said: if Z in the top image were pointing the opposite direction (i.e. if it followed the right hand rule), it would be the same as the bottom image. Rotation is irrelevant; only handedness matters.

Right handed means that when you curl the fingers on your right hand from +X towards +Y, your thumb points towards +Z.
