  Thanks, I didn’t remember that. 🤬

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Words truly matter⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a similar story. I’m glad you grew up, and I hope adulthood is treating you well!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Healthcare⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, I’m trying to imagine measuring my worth with my penis. Like, if worth was a linear distance I could be like “I’m worth seven penises!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sharks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As I understand it, sharks aren’t actually hungry all that often. They eat, then just spend a lot of time being chill sharks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox CTO Responds On Collecting User Advertisement Data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, hadn’t heard of that, I guess I’ll have to check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox CTO Responds On Collecting User Advertisement Data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What browser are you going to use?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How transwomen/transmen dream⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had a few dreams as a cis male where I was a woman, so basically I reject your premise. However in most dreams I’m not even a character, I’m just the perspective from which the story is experienced.

  Oh I’m getting lit either way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally, some meaningful reform!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Check this shit out⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a mighty fine stick gun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it is kinda crazy "fuck this shit" hasn't become a common acronym yet⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you saying id-gaff or I-D-G-A-F?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m fairly certain that the evil twin is the one on this side, that’s what’s really disconcerting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recognize the mother of Wifi⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not literally a part of my kids, but they wouldn’t be here without me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can a person be very sad, irritated or angry and still not show it on their face ?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it was growing up with religious fantastic parents who taught us to interpret the “wrong” emotions as moral failings.

  I don’t know where you’re at in your life. Maybe you do need to learn to control your emotions more. But also consider learning to accept your emotions, learn what they are telling you, and find a healthy way to process them.

  And if you have people in your life who can’t deal with you having emotions, you may need to evaluate that as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One of capitalisms biggest tragedies⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably, I didn’t mean to make it a competition. In both cases it’s a nonzero number and every one is a tragedy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One of capitalisms biggest tragedies⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How many Einsteins have we missed out on because they were born in America to a working class or poor family or as a person in a marginalized group?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poignant post on the state of things⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  self-restraint, not self-restaint

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yesit is!⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s that restricting current would be more of an inductance thing than a resistance thing? Like Amp should be pushing the walls wider while Ohm tries to hold Volt back?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A scandal about Bill Gates would be called Bill Gates-gate.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope no one ever seriously uses that, because he suggested it himself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lately I’ve been seriously thinking about resurrecting my FidoNet node. It looks like FidoNet still exists!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whoopsie daisy, one should leave it to to the professionals maybe⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine to accomplish this, you would probably be trying to rotate them out rather than pulling straight up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New study finds bots and fraud farms responsible for 73% of web traffic⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good question, I doubt I could make a very accurate guess. Just broadly though, based mainly on the lack of an immediately obvious payoff, I’d guess less than 50%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New study finds bots and fraud farms responsible for 73% of web traffic⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It amazes me when I spin up some random server on a cloud provider and it’s immediately getting tons of traffic from bots searching for insecure ssh servers and default WordPress admin credentials and then like. If that’s the short of stuff they’re counting, I’d believe it. But yeah, it’s not like all the commenters on this post are bots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Command is convincing it to stay there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, the engineering solution is much more robust.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chad scraper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In short, it’s the wrong tool for the job.

  In practice, if your target is very limited and consistent, it’s probably fine. But as a general statement about someone’s behavior, it really sounds like someone is wasting a lot of time and regularly getting sub-par results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chad scraper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m down with scraping, but “parses HTML with regex” has got me fucked up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raspberry Pi 5 Benchmarks: Significantly Better Performance, Improved I/O⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw something about this somewhere else, but I don’t know what’s going on? What is this about?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kevin doesn't share though⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you! What I like to do is ask meta-questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kevin doesn't share though⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Are we doing “good human” here or are we eschewing that as a “reddit thing”?
