A typical bike-riding leftist urbanite who also happens to be a hockey-crazy Western Canadian.
I love listening to solo piano or ambient music while reading. Any other type of music is too much for my brain to handle.
It’s an adjustment I had to make when everyone started working from home in 2020, and I find it works well on transit too. Might just be that I’ve trained my brain to go into focus mode when I hear that type of music.
Does anyone remember the spongebob edits people used to upload in the early days of youtube? Idk if they’re still around but I remember watching the pizza delivery one about 10 times in a row and just dying laughing.
I wonder if any of those videos are still funny, a lot has changed since 2009
Yeah, I really wish people would be a little more tactful when they go on performative tirades like this. It’s giving “old man yells at cloud” energy. Ridiculous behaviour when you think about it. People can block clouds, yelling is worse than useless.
To be totally fair, nostr’s whole thing is that users can delete all of their federated data if they want to, so it makes sense if they are upset about having their data copied to a place they can’t control.
Not sure how realistic that is with the data being publicly accessible via the web, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the they have some kind of license that gives the dmca request the ability to hold a nonzero amount of water. Then again, I wouldn’t be suprised if completely fails, either.
they are idiots that are completely messing everything up including their own plans
Incompetence is one of the hallmark qualities of a fascist government.
A tumblrized reference to an ancient reddit in-joke. How quaint.
Honestly kind of a bittersweet thing to see, it makes me think of all the good things we left behind. But then again, we did bring the best parts with us. Star Trek, Linux, and beans are all a Lemmizen needs.
Maybe pay a random stranger in cash to rent a bike for you
A handsome, charming, and mysterious figure suddenly has every villainous capitalist in the country checking over their shoulder, and racing to staff their facilities with enough stooges to hold this phantom off long enough for them to load their billions into their rocket ships and flee.
Real life has become an ideology-bent spy thriller and I’m only slightly ashamed to be fully caught up in the intrigue.
operating temperatures down to -15C
I would personally triple check to make sure this means what you think it means.
Assuming it does, you should be in the clear. Cutting the power when it gets colder is probably not necessary since the freezer won’t have any reason to run, but it might be a worthwhile precaution anyway. If for some reason the compressor does try to run with frozen oil, it might damage itself or try to draw too much power and blow a breaker (or start a fire if your wiring is sketchy). Better to be on the safe side.
“Steam gauges” on car/plane instrument panels. Yeah, digital displays are cheaper to manufacture and less prone to failure, but they kinda suck the fun out of it.
GNOME spawning 3 new DEs every time they have a major version update
This may not fit perfectly into the that category but i think it’s cool how Lazarus Jones exists in the media in some capacity in most of the GTA games. One of the best threads of continuity throughout the series.
A message from the government of Alberta
I’d rather have a New Deal 2
Not just mp3, all lossy audio formats use psychoaccoustic analysis. That’s how they figure out which data to throw out.
The one on the left is definitely more haunted, though.
Probably have a few cards running the displays and the rest of them mining some sphere-themed memecoin
What this story reveals is the stunning level of ignorance amongst Americans at large. This is a bona fide fascist manifesto, published by the handlers of the current leading presidential candidate, over a year ago. Nothing rattles me to my core quite like being confronted by the harsh reality that a lot of people out there are just going about their lives like everything is fine.
These are the people we need to organize with in order to ― at this point ― basically survive, so I’m very glad something was able to spur them into some level of action before election day.
That said, and please excuse the momentary lapse into doomerism, but if we have to rely on Hollywood and celebrity culture to bring something of this magnitude into public awareness, we might be more thoroughly cooked than it was previously thought to be possible.
Asking out of genuine naivety, why do you do that?
