@Devils_Rancher No, he called him and chewed him out.
Mr. Blue has been using this exact setup since the pandemic.
@APBBlue @Devils_Rancher OMG how RUDE. And now you've reminded me of the "rate my background" thing that started during Covid. Which was actually rather sweet.
DEAD BOYS
Young Loud And Snotty
1977 Canada pressing
Stone cold classic punk rock on a Wednesday night.
“Sonic Reducer” is one of the greatest album openers in the history of recorded music, and I’ll stand by that forever.
It’s just one of those signature tunes that ANY band would give both arms for to have to their name.
It alone makes Young, Loud And Snotty worth owning, never mind “High Tension Wire” and “Not Anymore”.
Every time I hear Dead Boys, I go from 0 to “run thru a brick wall” in seconds flat.

@PhoenixSerenity what nasty people!
@forestine They're in prison now. FAFO for real. I don't issue shallow warnings to anyone who has gone out of their way to try to hurt me or others. I go directly after them & don't relent until they get their overdues.
I'm not sure how I feel about Stormtroopers doing some self reflection. I think they should stick to their strengths, like missing every shot they ever take.

@bigzaphod it was on when i had less than reliable TV signal
my next episode per @TelevisionTime
One of the biggest frustrations of an ongoing improv team is when you burn something really good in rehearsal. We did that tonight when our coach gave us the suggestion of "Frankfurter" and we proceeded to do a 25 minute hot dog themed tribute to the Rocky Horror Picture Show where I played analogues of both Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Riff Raff. "One of the funniest things I've ever seen" our coach said.
But she and our piano player are the only ones who saw it and now it's lost forever.
From high-energy physics: every antiparticle is a particle traveling backward in time & vice versa. Eg, a positron is an electron traveling backward in time. If a positron & electron annihilate, it can be viewed as one of them emitting a couple of photons, turning around & going backward in time. That's probably the closest real idea in physics.

It sounds like you're describing #Tenet ! 😆
While we are watching this Senate leadership battle play out, let's think about one of the major implications. Whoever wins is going to have the power of appointing committee positions.
Right now the battle lines are being drawn, with billionaire elite backed moderates supporting Chuck Schumer, and #WeThePeople backed progressives supporting Chris Van Hollen.
If we want to break the yoke of the billionaire elite on positions of power within the Senate, Chris Van Hollen must win this fight.
okay so is it normal for a cheap bench grinder to go five minutes after power off? I suspect the answer is yes but that better ones have brakes
but do they? lol idek
(that is with the stones which came with it still attached which adds a lot of momentum)
these stones also do not seem trued, like, they’re snug on the axle and do not move by hand but there’s front to back variance for real. i can true that, right? i mean I’m gonna replace them with a wire wheel and a buffer but I still want to have them for occasional grinding and they clearly should be truer than they are.

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

@titania @SRLevine There's a lot of wild details from that race. The independent who got about 5x as many votes as the margin of victory, and spoke up the day after the election claiming his whole campaign was a deliberate attempt to spoil the republicans. ([Dubious - Discuss])
Hyde-Smith's absolutely wild "let them eat cake" moment. The ridiculously on-point ads Colom and his twin brother got out of that.
@Nentuaby @titania I live in a district that actually had someone who appeared to be a plant to siphon votes from the dem in the primary (california open primaries, terrible terrible idea) for county supervisor wince unlike state races, county ones are local and our county has a rule that if one candidate gets 50%+1 vote they don't have to do a top two run off general election. The republican did get the most votes, but was just under the 50% bar so we had the top two in the general after all (and I think the dem won pretty handily). So those far fetched theories aren't always that far fetched...
(the plant thing is because her only listed donors were the same major donor to the republican candidate despite running on a very progressive platform: https://voiceofoc.org/2026/05/ocs-most-competitive-races-for-the-june-primary-election/ it's the first section with the three women candidates)
@forestine Their staff was stunned when I told them that I expected their cowardice & I'll just send a ton more people in my place. I got them shut down in less than a year after them calling cops on me. They FAFOed. Smart folks don't try to FAFO with me, ever.
@PhoenixSerenity what nasty people!
@glyph @xgranade > Software freedom rests upon … freedom. You cannot have "free software" unless you have bodily autonomy. Like this is an utterly incoherent arrangement of ideas.
I had thoughts swirling in my head about this earlier; about how you literally cannot have "free software" without bodily autonomy.
I don't know how good this explanation is, but I do notice that if you take into account the fact that white supremacists literally do not consider Black, Brown, LGBTQ, women, etc, to be people, there is no internal inconsistency in their logic. "Freedom For All", where "All" has a lot of asterisks and only referring to those whom they think of as people.
It's not like they hide this belief when talking amongst themselves; there's a reason white supremacists invented the idea of race and it was explicitly to enforce and create hierarchies of which people deserved freedom and which deserved labor.
My bank’s new login page really needs to be a case study in a course on UI design.
Three or four seconds after the page seems fully loaded, with inputs for customer ID and password, an ad for one of the bank’s products will sometimes [not always] pop up at the bottom of the page. When this happens, if you are partway through typing your customer ID, that input *loses focus* and turns a warning shade of red because it has too few characters. You need to click it again to resume typing.
I've been conditioned by this punishment to wait a few seconds before I start typing my ID, but the ad doesn’t always appear, and the timing is variable, so ... honestly, did no human ever try using this before rolling it out on their customers?
@gregeganSF Unless we use the same bank, this may be an industry standard. smh.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
