  Yeah, 2 tines and 4 handle is a pretty good fork, I’ll admit. I just worry about the concave shape of the top side of the handle causing the edges to dig into my fingers with long-term use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose a number, 1-5!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Those prongs are fine. The handle, though, it’s like having a huge counterweight on the back of the utensil. I can imagine liking it if it’s always been that way or if you have big hands. Otherwise, handle number 5 is the clear improvement - no sharp edges, properly balanced, not shaped like a wedge. Could hold that fork for days.

  It is clear to me that the only explanation for your preference is nostalgia.

  Yeah, I want to feel that bone in my mouth. Put that bone inside me, chicken. Let me suck the meat from your bone.

  She should swallow a hydrogen cyanide capsule that only dissolves if triggered by the detection of radioactive decay.

  Who knows what will happen to that cat?

  Well, it gets confusing when your mom is a famous stock photo hand model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like the rootkit. I do everything I possibly can on Linux aside from the one game that requires it. That said, since they started using the rootkit, there has been a steep drop-off in bots in the game. As in I don’t see any anymore. So, annoying and a huge security risk? Absolutely. Dubious? Maybe? Depends on what you mean.

  That was a big factor, sure. But no, it was the “deconfliction” queue they made for Texas DPS to track repeated facial recognition hits without any evidence tying the suspect to the crime scene - in theory identifying repeat offenders, but in practice, targeting black and brown people whose faces are likely to be harder for facial recognition to differentiate and therefore they may end up with random no-knock warrants on their names having never actually committed any crime. That toilet paper though… it’s in the running.

  I used to work for the company that creates the facial recognition system inside MSG. Three guesses why I don’t work there anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker Hub limiting unauthenticated users to 10 pulls per hour⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here. I’ve been building a bootstrap script, and each time I test it, it tears down the whole cluster and starts from scratch, pulling all of the images again. Every time I hit the Docker pull limit after 10 - 12 hours of work, I treat that as my “that’s enough work for today” signal. I’m going to need to set up a caching system ASAP or the hours I work on this project are about to suddenly get a lot shorter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also find USB to be limiting when it comes to range. I can go about 50 feet with a nice thick HDMI with copper wiring, but any further than 20 feet on USB necessitates fiber optics. Not an issue for everyone, but something I have been running into.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Use 'Bridgy Fed' to connect Mastodon and Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same thing. What I’m looking for:

  I make a Mastodon account

  I make a Bluesky account

  I connect them via the bridge

  I post on one account, the same content is posted on both accounts

  If someone replies to my post on Mastodon (which all Mastodon users can see), I can reply using my Mastodon account

  If someone replies to my post on Bluesky (which all Bluesky users can see even if they have not opted into using the bridge), I can reply using my Bluesky account

  From what you’re describing, it doesn’t sound like the bridge can facilitate this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Use 'Bridgy Fed' to connect Mastodon and Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never been on Twitter/X, Bluesky, or Mastodon. But maybe I’d like to try.

  So far I can’t decide because I prefer Activity Pub in principle, but always felt FOMO with Twitter and don’t want the same thing to happen with Bluesky.

  I think the best of both worlds would be if I could make an account on both and have one account essentially repost anything from the main account, unless I’m replying to someone specifically where it wouldn’t make sense to reply on both accounts.

  Not sure if this bridge is a step in that direction, but it’s far more important to me that everyone can see what I post on both sides than it is that people from both sides can reach me on a singular account. Not sure if others feel the same way.

  No, you’ve misunderstood. She married the Bigfoot and now she’s suing because she was perfectly happy not knowing he was just a bear. They had a destination wedding in London and the divorce lawyer’s bear-wedding annulment fee was 125 pounds.
