There actually is a well defined demarcation point where the site owners wishes do apply. It's called... A demarc point! Everything that happens past this point is by definition entirely in the control of the admin. Which includes clos

Tokens in a casino is pretty accurate if you think about it. You never really know what you'll get so it's tempting to "roll" over and over, thinking every roll puts you closer to a bellringer. It can even get addicting

In my experience it's always been easier to work with terrible human programmers because the terribleness of their code is inherently bound to human comprehension. Of course I've seen some absolutely massive messes created by huma

I think I'm also going to refer people to the Godot foundation's statement on this from now on. Too often people try to lay it out like a moral conundrum, or some kind of purity test for "real" programmers vs larpers, bu

The labor shortage crisis has been going for over 200 years now, yet nobody can name a company that has died or otherwise suffered negative consequences as a result of it.

Custom css email themes aka "stationary", which other people can see on emails from you. These are still a very prominent part of email but I don't see anyone expressing their individuality with it anymore. It feels like a hu

I really really really hope the point of stuff of like this is NOT to make martyrs of randomly selected people in a foreign country. That would be an absolutely demented thing to try for. Not to mention the arrogance of thinking you need to

I guess the threat of this is what's unclear. The cryptobros are going to take over the world and then do what exactly?

RCE has no meaning either in these situations. The "remote" part is usually an ssh root session if it means anything at all.

It's like I said, the degree to which productivity is in the equation. Money just looping around until settling on a few people, otherwise doing nothing else = zero productivity, zero value Action which results in a bit of productivity

Always one of the same two excuses. 1. It actually is working perfectly you just don't have smart enough eyes to see it. 2. Making stuff work is too hard, and expecting that from us is the real thing ruining society. Going for number 1

There used to be much more of a belief that the reason this stuff has an appreciable value to speak of is because it's either creating a channel for society's productivity or it's creating a position to skim pennies off of so

Reminds me of the "banned book" table every book store has now. The place where so called banned books are given the most prominent display in the whole store with discounts if you buy a novelty pencil or something alongside it. I

Im getting really tired of these cloudflare anti-ddos screens. They take forever, often literally. There's another one of these that shows an anime girl, whatever that one is, it's way better.

Not trying to accuse anyone of anything but this sounds exactly like one of those scam courses that turns out to be a pyramid scheme centered around selling the course to other people.

We have been getting a ton of LLM generated essays talking about how bad LLMs are. It happens so much that it feels like a new kind of engagement bait.

Another version of this idea that's been around for a while is CherryTree. I would use it a lot more, but there's not really a way to use your notebook on mobile due to it using a special database format that nobody cares about. I

I'm surprised it's still a standard thing to let us see the message getting typed up before it's finalized. The term "literally 1984" gets thrown around a lot but wow what a dystopian feeling when that happens. It&#
