That’s a dangerous metaphor to bring to the table. People will start talking about Wayland like it’s just some sort of bottom surgery, but it’s actually way more risky and regretted.

Gender’s more like a window manager. It provides a set of conventional frameworks for how you make yourself beautiful, but if it’s breaking your workflow or won’t give you the tools you want, shop around.

AFAB: Assigned FVWM At Boot.

I keep looking for a mail-order spouse, but I’m only willing to order from the “free shipping once you spend USD10” section of Aliexpress.

Where was the picture taken? The locomotives look like common North American SD70M types, but the headlights are weird and the lack of numbers is atypical.

To be blunt, we’d probably find the robots a lot more endearing if they placed themselves on an appropriate side of the Uncanny Valley.

Years ago, there was an IRC channel with a couple of simple Markov-chain bots and they were legitimately charming with their randomness, which ranged from “demented Pokemon repeating their name over and over” to “flash of insight”. But you’d hardly be quoting them in a serious conversation to a co-worker or boss, and nobody was promising superintelligence any day now from then to justify tripling my electric bill.

You’re thinking of NetBSD.

If you paint over the reporting marks (“CRYX” and the number), it requires them to patch the data back on much more quickly than if you just paint other parts of the car.

Rookie graffiti move.

I feel like I missed out. By the 3rd year at my programne, you were down to 1-2 women per class. Maybe because it was a state school, they didn’t have the budget to forcefem the students.

I’ve heard that yaoi was more meant for the female audience, and bara for a male audience., but there are probably different interpretations.

Standard compliance rules generally allow showing the first six and last four digits on a statement or receipt or whatever. That leaves 6 digits, and since you know it has to match the cksum, 1/100,000 odds on straight guess.

You may be able to knock down two more digits if you know which bank and card type (debit, prepaid, etc) it is. The first 6 digits used to encapsulate that data but there’s a transition to 8 now.

Bring back Program Manager!

Customizability used to be a strong selling point for power users. I guess Microsoft has just ceded the entire category to Linux, because they’re probably their lowest-cross-sell customers-- more likely to use LibreOffice, to buy their own backup storage solutions, to buy Steam games instead of Game Pass

They pointed cameras at the Windows for Workgroups.

Usually people open and close their messages with their sign. I’m surprised there aren’t tools that add it automatically when you press or release the mic button.

Ham radio sex is worse.

“I’m not yelling out my callsign every 10 minutes as a fetish thing, it’s a FCC requirement.”

I recall in the CRT era, yellow-on-blue was considered the most comfortable.

I can recall always typing “COLOR 15, 1, 1:WIDTH 40” to switch from light-grey-on-black to white-on-blue when I went to program my 386, much easier to read.

Not sure how those studies map to the different properties of LCD screens.

What’s wrong with #ffffff?

Somehow when we had only 16 colours to work with we didn’t have the worst of the designer-brain “grey on marginally different grey” eyestrain factories. High-enough contrast for accessinility was essentially guaranteed. And you could go even more restrictive for laptops with early washed out LCDs and only-shades-of-red plasma screens.

Manul.

So Jimmy Buffett?

It looks similar to the lemon sold to my family in 1995.

Please do not use an exact power of two. We need one bit pattern for “undefined”

It’s actually not the worst name for a srreaming service, considering Philo Farnsworth was a key developer of modern electronic-scan TV.
