@ana Which term in there were you looking at? The only one I can find is the "You Give Mozilla Certain Rights and Permissions" one, which seems to scope it specifically to "what you ask Firefox to do" (which would be legal boilerplate)

"refrain from criticism until you have an alternative solution" is a great way to make sure nothing ever changes. step one to solving a problem is acknowledging its existence
No, you see, ERP stands for Enterprise Role Play

I hate this idea that in order to criticize something you have to have an alternative. like some things are just bad and replacing it misses the point that the entire category it fills is unethical and undesirable?

Exciting news! After years of work, my research paper has just been published. It shows that adding a layer of gravel at the bottom of a plant pot really DOES improve drainage. This exact scenario has never been directly tested before, in spite of a lot of myths and theories flying around.
The full research paper is open access: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0318716
There's also a slightly more reader-friendly summary and explanation of the research on my website: https://tradescantia.uk/article/drainage-layers/

eating disorders, question
Does anyone know of any useful articles about eating disorders and their relation to plurality and/or other neurospicy traits?
(That aren't some ableist garbage like "autistic people cannot communicate")

Ah, I see that Lidl has also worked out the loophole

If you want to know how it's going in Portland, Oregon: we have a minor feud between two competing naked bike ride groups.

Oh yeah stumbled across this banger forum thread about retro homebrew feeling very commercialized now (by someone I recognize from Fedi) while I was looking at emulator drama yesterday: https://forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.php?t=24744
@rune Well, I did try to search the internet for an error message only to find out nobody else in the world had that problem, because it turned out that *I* wrote the code that produced that error

Do you ever search the Internet for an error message only to find out nobody else in the world has this problem because your teammate wrote the code that makes this error?
@serapath Basically: if you are funded by businesses, then you are going to be developing for the needs of businesses, not the needs of people
The perpetual conflict between wanting more shared/reused infrastructure for FOSS projects to extract sustainable funding from businesses, and not wanting FOSS to center around business funding because of the perverse incentives it introduces

The window cleaning guy is in the street. A bunch of houses in the street pay for his service. He arrives in a little van and pulls out a hosepipe that is the length of the ENTIRE STREET and walks back and forth with it cleaning the windows, yellow hosepipe strewn over the road haphazardly. Never has a person wielded as lengthy a hosepipe as this.
