fire 📉

(equipped my apartment with two fire extinguishers and you, yes *you*, should do the same.)

@azonenberg Mouser has always seemed incredibly paranoid about scraping, even before the current LLM misery. They block basically anything that doesn't look like a bog standard browser on a bog standard system, as far as I can tell.

congrats you fucking LLM dipshit asshole techbros, you're making me hate self hosting because now, while my server used to be a few hours of maintenance every half year, it's now a few hours of maintenance every few DAYS

gendering your baby feels kind of like calling a skein of yarn a "sweater." like, yes, it might turn out to be a sweater, and it's probably gonna look like one at least for a while if you decide to knit it into one.

but ultimately, it could become anything, and even if you shape it into a sweater... it could all unravel someday.

ultimately, we don't control other people. we can observe and support them, or we can push our expectations on them. connect, or set them up to perform for you.

What's up with American food recipes being terrified of measuring stuff by weight? I mean even something like "a tablespoon of flour" can mean a whole range of amounts depending on the size of the spoon and whether you dose the flour flat on the spoon or if you create a mound..

And then there's stuff like measuring raw ginger by length which absolutely baffles me cuz like have you ever seen ginger root?? It's like the most irregular object at the grocery aisle which way am I even supposed to measure out an inch??

Man almost every larger creative person I follow aside from trans & BiPOC artists now starts to promote their masterclass what is this shit.
The vibes are outstandingly rancid in a mlm way.

I do appreciate that the shop reused the box, though, and judging from the writings on the box (which didn't match my shipment) this was actually at least the *second* time that this box was reused!

We deden in oktober een Woo-verzoek en kregen dat na tussenkomst van de rechter na 7,5 maand (!) binnen. Dit proces kost ons niet alleen een overvraagde rechtbank, een dwangsom die we met z'n allen moeten betalen maar ook het verlies van vertrouwen in onze democratische rechtsstaat.

Got my masks order in a reused heavy-duty cardboard box, the kind of cardboard that you normally use to ship machinery - except it was a manufacturer box for boxes of nitrile gloves.

Who ships nitrile gloves in heavy-duty shipping boxes?!

I’d like to speak to the architect that said “oh let’s place a giant window next to the urinals”

@baldur (Usually motivated by - at least the perception of - some personal benefit they are getting from the existence of said ideology and systems)

@baldur I suspect it's going to be very similar reasoning to the "capitalism is fine, we just need to regulate it" crowd - unwillingness to recognize that the ideology is fundamentally hostile to regulation or responsible application, and preferring to believe that the torment nexus can be contained if they draw the boundaries of what's acceptable *just* right.

The train I'm in just crossed the border from Spain into France. No announcement and I expect no one else noticed the moment. Freedom to disregard borders is a huge boon to those who have it. Many don't and many more are losing it.
