I still often think about the fact that Aaron Swartz was only 14 years old when he helped develop RSS..
Imagine what he could give us when given the chance 🙏
RIP Aaron♥️
@stux It was a little bit of XML, not rocket science.
Also did gym, please clap
@aphyr Ooh, beard! It’s workin’!
@ai6yr technical terms of course.
@Salty A vote for Opportunity, was always almost certainly a vote for the Right, as so many of us warned. They openly said they'd work with the party with the most seats, no prob for them working with Right bloc. Look how that played out. They described themselves as 'Teal', right wing and green.
Opp just have to trade, say, land tax and Luxon or his replacement can 180 and take them in. It's whether them and NZF can play together that is the larger deciding tension there.
@JulianOliver It's definitely a scary possibility...

Let's all try to remember one important thing: Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is TOO LEFT-WING to win a senate seat in a battleground state like Michigan.
Very smart people told us this in no uncertain and very fretful terms for months. Every fucking one of them still earns an exorbitant salary for their opinions.
Here in the United States, a popular trend among owners of Jeep vehicles is to line their dashboard with little rubber ducks. It's not random though; the ducks have meaning. Each duck represents one full month their Jeep has been in the shop for repairs
@jalefkowit It's always great to remember that the SUV loophole for emissions was created for AMC, the company who made Jeep brand vehicles. Otherwise they may have gone out of business!
Successful night tonight, my chums. Very lovely to have unlocked a new level in life of going out with non-drinking male friends. Difficult to convey the alcohol culture in the UK, but you're basically indoctrinated into going out with your mates and getting annihilated on alcohol and that's essentially your whole social and personal relationships. Unsurprisingly this has a knock on effect to many other areas of your lives. Culturally it's not terribly healthy. So I'm thrilled to have discovered going out on a Saturday night to a shisha joint and just banging a load of sparkling water, tea, a bit of food and having a shisha. Also not terrifically good for you, but a far cry from drinking 8 pints and getting in fights. Had a laugh, talked about our feelings and listened to one another and came away from it validated and positive and crucially will wake up tomorrow (today) feelin' fine. Although I went slightly overboard on the sweet potato fries and hummus. Like a wildman. Men! You too can do this and still be a total double-dog alpha male. Grrr. Had so much hummus mate. You should have seen my BiL. Went mental on the shisha and had 4 cokes. We cannot be stopped. Also - we talked about our hopes and worries in a way that was supportive and nurturing. Oi oiiiiii!
@TheBreadmonkey ❤️❤️

I'm gonna be really frank here: this is a bad relationship to have with any politician, even ones on your side. You should think of a politician the way you think of a sponge. As long as it cleans up messes, you hang on to it. And when it stops being able to do that, you throw it out and get a new one

Five states that used to have Republican governors and now have incoming Democratic ones have National Guard troops on the streets of Washington, D.C.
I hope one of the first things those new governors do is bring them home.

Yep. Presentism is real, as is insurrectionist anarchism (aka: propaganda by the deed). The modern example of the latter today would be Antifa and black-bloc (a protest tactic, not a group).
Can't sweep that shit under the rug, and unfortunately that's become the prevailing image of anarchists to this day. To the point that even other anarchists try to distance themselves from it by adopting alternate names like "mutualist", "minarchist", "libertarian <xyz>", and so on.
I'm admittedly still a fan of Emma Goldman, and used to live a half a block from the apartment she lived in in Toronto, but she was part of that ilk too at least for a time. It comes with the territory, and I can't blame people for the stereotype because it's been largely self-inflicted.

@toiletpaper anarchism is the only moral system when I investigate it. not like, how it's done by any existing group. nor can it survive in nature, but conceptually the closest I can think of.
Hi @jolla
Do you have any statement about using large language models in SailfishOS development ?
Thanks.
@petitevieille @jolla While you're at it see if they will share their opinions on animal furs, Palestine, and glyphosate

For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.
How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

One more fun fact: The album art for their Best Of album was done by Parappa the Rapper artist Rodney Alan Greenblat??
Anyway, HHPAY is one of those shows which have what I call "Balan Syndrome" - where it is blessed with amazing character design art for its lead cast, but absolutely nothing else going for it. Every time I have tried to revisit the show has been disappointing, but I keep remembering the cool designs of the protagonists and wanting to give it another shot

Windows Project (Win-P) menu is the single biggest improvement they've added since Windows 98
unless you're using a laptop where you only use external monitors, so you actually want to switch between using monitor 2 and monitors (2,3), in which case it mocks you with how close it comes to being useful
