The lack of a license doesn’t necessarily prevent people from driving. Making it harder, or more severe punishments for poor driving, would not only result in fewer drivers on the road but also more “undocumented” drivers.

This is a masterclass in horrible logic. Every sentence either starts with an incorrect premise (e.g. that roads are only for vehicles) or makes extraordinary leaps in order to conjure a conclusion. Well done?

My MIL still uses a flashlight app on her iPhone, because she doesn’t know the difference between a feature and an app, and because each time she gets a new phone all her apps are ported over. Whenever she turns on her flashlight a huge ad

While trying to understand what Jamstack actually is (or adds to simply using a SSG) I lost some faith due their site not functioning well in mobile safari. The filter buttons on the SSG page do not respond at all, and when you click a TOC

Plus, “initiate deletion of their account from within the app” sounds like the app can simply link to whatever account deletion functionality you have on your website.

These were banned in Santa Barbara (where I grew up) a few decades ago. It was strange to move outta SB and encounter them again.

The rabm subreddit is helpful for identifying non-fascist bands. Have you heard the surf rock versions of Freezing Moon and Transylvanian Hunger? They’re great!

Lofi beats are nice and all, but honestly I’m able to focus best with black metal. It’s oddly relaxing. Just a solid wall of noise, with no chance of understanding the words. It’s what I listened to all through grad school, and back when I

Thanks - yeah I looked it up last night and realized I should probably replace the battery. I'll do that once I get the correct size Torq! I think the keyboard emulation was related to a specific kernel version (I haven't tried in

Thanks. I’ll try that brand. I buy mine from Encompass, the official seller of Lenovo batteries. So they shouldn’t be knockoffs, nor unsealed. But, one battery went from 90% health down to 30% in the course of six months. And they’re not ch

I have an Alphasmart Neo, though I do not regularly use it. And I don't use it much because I find the small screen limiting. I am so used to looking back at what I wrote a paragraph above, or pages and pages above, and doing that is a

I currently use a T440S, with Arch Linux, and fairly recently replaced batteries. I feel like I only get 5 hours or so. Although if I’m on my work computer, with my T440s open next to me and I’m lightly using it throughout the day then it e

Sorta related to round black bombs: I recently watched The Spy Who Loved Me, and realized that this is where I got the idea that grenades aren’t thrown like baseballs; instead, you gotta do a kinda straight-armed huck over your shoulder. No

We’re in LA, too. Lots of the contractors are in NoHo. And also downtown and City of Industry, etc. I work remote but we can’t move out of here because of her work! And yeah, she works in smaller batches. She’s very resourceful: of her stra

No, GIMP is for designers, too. I use Photoshop at work and GIMP at home. Both for very light work. Adding text to an image, putting a product into a mockup template, resizing, etc. Both programs are very similar - I don’t really notice muc

Did you forget development in your leave? My wife is a fashion designer, and development is a huge component. She begins developing garments like 1.5 years ahead of delivery. The steps are generally: Choose and order fabric, design a garm

My clever take is that complaining about GIMP’s UI is just a meme at this point. I could easily complain about Photoshop or Illustrator’s UI just as much as GIMP or Inkscape.

Naw there’s a ton of fine and good people using their services. For example, I inherited a domain 12 years ago using it. At one point I tried to move to my personal host, but my personal host has bad DNS features and I couldn’t get my site

I see now that your comment was mostly about the order of the planets. Not about how people hundreds of years ago knew there was a hexagon on the planet.

Like you, I don’t choose Firefox because of some privacy features. I use it because it doesn’t have completely bonkers “history” feature like Chromium does, and because it seems fast and I’m used to it. Also, I must be blind but I didn’t no

You are being too rational. There is, of course, an explanation for why people knew of the hexagon in ancient times: > Some theorists believe in the very distant past the planets were arranged much differently. This would have been back

But on Twitter, bots aren’t only bots. For example, I have bot accounts that auto-tweet things, but then I can log in to those accounts and manually tweet. Because of that I’d think the label would have to be applied to individual tweets an
