You know this will only make people want to dig deeper, right? Whoever is paying you off to pretend like nothing is going on should’ve really told you to use an alt or something.

Can we stop with this subtle EU propaganda slop? I LIVE in an EU country and I have the exact same problem with modern movies. This has nothing to do with who gets to make the laws, there are only two reasons why everything needs subtitles now:

• Because of advancements in microphone technologies, actors don’t need to speak as clearly and are getting lazy as a result.
• Movies producers are assholes who think that everyone has a 50000$ surround sound home theater system and master the movie soundtracks accordingly – which makes explosions and action scenes sound WAY TOO LOUD on normal people sound systems.

I love how new versions of the CLI have the result automatically update as you type. Nice to see people going above and beyond to make CLI’s pleasant!

Banned from community? Post score in the negative? What are the mods trying to cover up here?!

Also recommending ArchiveBox – it takes the shotgun approach to archiving websites, making snapshots with a bunch of different tools, singlefile being among them. You can use it as a one-shot command, or run it as a web server which provides a UI for archiving web pages. Linkwarden is similar.

IMHO the only reason to go above 60Hz is for better responsiveness in competitive games. Otherwise it’s just a meme, definitely a total gimmick on smartphones.

Batshit analogies like these that simultaneously make sense and don’t is what I’m here for. Amazing.

Huh, this person doesn’t like starbucks

They must be autistic

Peak .world behavior right there

Convenience? The fuck are you talking about?? Have you never heard of soluble coffee? I carry a jar of soluble coffee in my backpack when I go to uni. They have those instant water boiling taps on every floor in my faculty building, I can make myself a mug just like that. Is it good? No. But certainly better than starbucks.

But whatever, I’m not going to argue with someone who’s trying to convince me that the thing I do almost every day with no issues is actually impossible.

It has always striked me as a rich people thing

Fastfoods marketing themselves as luxury brand is a relatively recent trend. A decade or so ago starbacks, mcd’s, etc. really were “cheap, fast, tasty”. Fast food used to be a convenience for when you were on road trips and couldn’t make your own food.

All these different fastfood brands built up such a large reputation around themselves that they practically became a part of our collective conscious. At some point they realised that instead of selling food, they could sell their brand. And that’s when it stopped being cheap, stopped being tasty, and generally became a “rich people” thing.

So I used to think that people hated on starbucks because “hurr durr real men only drink black coffee” and starbucks had extremely sugary and milky drinks that had barely any actual coffee in it. “No problem” I thought, “I like sugary drinks!”. So I went to a starbucks at the shopping mall close to where I live and ordered something and it was literally just a glass of ice cubes with like three sips’ worth of milk and syrup squirted into it. It genuinely felt like the barista forgot one of the ingredients or something. I thought it was a fluke but when I was at that mall at a different time I got a different iced coffee and it was the same stuff: glass full of ice cubes with a squirtling of syrup and milk. What even is the point!?

Honestly if I was stuck with one of these shitty resistive heater stoves I’d definitely do this for stuff like warming up pancakes. Less energy and time wasted on heating the pan.

Call me conservative, buy I stick by the rule that it’s not gay only if you both say “no homo” after doing it

And for people who are still confused: The confusion is the whole point of the joke. Nobody understands what the hell “cow tools” is supposed to mean. Maybe it had something to do with research showing that other mammals, not just monkeys and early humans, were capable of making tools. But nobody knows. It’s absurdist humor

I donated from the website so I didn’t get the badge ;(

Oh my god I just realized that it’s showing the change in sales/use. Why on earth would you do that!? What point are they trying to make!?

I mean nowadays its more like

Mods are supposed to be janitors (not an insult, just statement of fact), but too often act with the presumed arrogance of “leaders”.

Yes exactly. I have no stake in the 169 thing, but this applies universally. We don’t need you to remove comments that “don’t contribute to the discussion”. We don’t need to hear whether you think someone is “participating in bad faith” (the fuck does that even mean!?). We need you to remove spam and rule-breaking content, and ban repeat offenders. That’s literally it. We can put up with some bullshit because after all mods are unpaid volunteers who don’t owe anything to anyone, but at some point enough is enough.

I wanna live in a place like this. It looks chill. And if it’s not, then I wanna be proven wrong first-hand.
