I would say no* but the asterisk has a few paragraphs involving funding sustainability, cryptobro involvement, and dubious decentralization.
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 3 weeks ago:
They have good flights but they do make a lot of noise at the waterfront. The smell of avgas is overwhelming, too. Nothing against them, it’s unavoidable, but I’m looking forward to their electric Beaver plane.

Ah, cool. Anoxic lactoferment, then. That does sound good. Like sauerkraut.

What are we looking at? Pineapple and sugar and water?
Do you airlock it?

It can but rarely; mostly it’s a kidney thing.

That was my theory too - the Gems are a von Neumann probe, created by a possibly-gone species.

That sounds high. How much of that is transient seasonal labour?

The USA has a population nearing 400 million, you wouldn’t think a few hundred thousand migrants a year would be an issue.

Should’ve. Didn’t. Oh well. Stuck with it.

In retrospect I definitely would have liked a duodecimal metric system, but we have what we have at this point. It’s good enough and a DAMN sight better than imperial.

They abandoned Linux support. Fuck them. It was one of the only games that did. Linux users were a bug part of their initial success, and they dumped us as soon as the money came in.

Hah, yikes. Kombucha wants oxygen anyway. Just cover it with a paper towel or coffee filter or something.
- Comment on FCC Denies Starlink Low-Orbit Bid for Lower Latency 8 months ago:
It goes to show that people are complex, and contain multitudes. Cherrypicking isn’t a bad thing. The older I get, the harder I find it to get along with strangers, because I’ll have some point of contention with them. :/

I can’t speak for the others but Dawkins has fallen into an anti-trans rabbithole lately and has said some pretty hateful stuff. :(

You can share lemmy posts on mastodon but not the other way around, I think.
- Comment on Never-before-seen Linux malware gets installed using 1-day exploits 8 months ago:
Linux has had a long history of worms and viruses, fortunately (sorta) thanks to its server legacy. Dumb and lazy server admins have given it pretty good ‘secure by default’ behaviours and cultures.
Desktop users though: while different set of challenges.

Huh, this is the exact design of some of the bathrooms at SFU. I wonder if it’s fairly common?
- Comment on Air Canada's chatbot gave a B.C. man the wrong information. Now, the airline has to pay for the mistake 9 months ago:
My only complaint here is that the judgement should have had way more punitive fines. A simple refund was not enough compensation for the horseshit they put him through, and is in no way enough motivation to stop the practice of providing misinformation.
