As a straight middle-aged white dude who worked for decades in tech, my superpower is admitting that I don't know enough about something to have an opinion.
You could also develop this superpower.
[muting this, because yikes, there's a lot of y'all. and yes, yes, this statement has limitations and boundaries.]
I'm entirely serious about that, by the way, this is not a joke or hyperbole - and it is admittedly very good for that purpose

I feel like the funny thing for me with the Tiktok ban is that a lot of Americans, on either side of the debate, don't seem to realize that Tiktok feels to Americans like every single social media platform feels to people outside the US. You're telling me the app is located outside your country and your government's control, and you don't know how its data gets handled in that country? That's every app, to me.

DHL is firmly convinced that since they've loaded the parcel onto a delivery vehicle on 20th (today) they can make the delivery on 19th (yesterday).

bash is so fucking funny. the fact that [ is a command and if [ $a -eq $b ] is actually calling the command [ with args $a -eq $b ] and checking its exit code is so fucking hilarious
like literally run which [ and you get /usr/bin/[

This is the best and funniest piece of performance art this year. A whole-ass court case brought by a man who doesn't seem to understand the piece of art he is complaining about.
The main purpose of Twitter for me now, is to look for someone's account on there and see if they're willing to do or say fascist shit when the environment encourages it

sometimes a fanfic is a love letter to the canon, sometimes it's a polite rejection, and sometimes it's the 95 things that canon did absolutely wrong nailed to the wall with crossbow bolts

Hey, time to check if your backups:
Actually are being made
Are restorable
For me, my backup machine had a funny issue where the backup disks didn't mount - so the backups filled up a small root partition instead due to a configuration issue... Oops.
But this is fixed now ^-^

re: silly response
@RussSharek @joepie91 what about neuromami ?

silly response
Potential issue: poll lacks neurosour, neurosalty, neurosweet, and neurosavory options.

Actieverslag demonstratie Geef Haat Geen Macht, 17 maart
https://peterstormt.nl/2024/03/18/we-kunnen-beter-de-tijden-vereisen-het/
Dat was een tamelijk trieste vertoning, gisterenmiddag 17 maart 2024 in Den Haag: de demonstratie Geef Haat Geen Macht. De omvang was miniem. De aanpak precies verkeerd, de bepaald ook vrij treurig. Aan de aanwezige demonstranten lag het niet, die deden hun best en lieten zich horen. Maar wie denkt dat we met de aanpak van degenen die deze demonstratie op touw hebben gezet, echt een sterke antifascistische beweging opbouwen die gewicht in de schaal legt tegen de dreiging van een fascistenkabinet, mag daar nog eens heel goed over nadenken.
(...)
Nieuwe acties komen er intussen aan! Pegida wil op 23 maart in Arnhem weer een Koran-verbranding proberen. Daar hoort actief verhinderd te worden. En transhaters gaan op 26 maar weer hun giftige ding doen op in Utrecht. Dat hoort minstens luidruchtig overschreeuwd te worden.
(...)
Nieuwe initiatieven tegen de fascistendreiging op regeringsniveau, zijn echter ook nodig. Graag betere dan de vertoning van gisteren. Graag zonder lange sprekerslijst en uitzichtloze demonstratieroutes. We kunnen echt beter, en de tijden vereisen het.
I feel like we might be having a bit of a sample size problem on one half of the poll here

when you are blocked from working on something else because your adhd brain wants to work on something that has is being blocked by external factors.

“Since Covid” is an incomplete phrase. Since Covid what? Began? Somebody said it ended and you weren’t observant enough to contest that notion? You were infected the first time?

The perfect may be the enemy of the good, but "good enough for me" is usually fatal to "make it work for everybody"
