"But how can Brazil be racist when it's a predominately Black country"

The same way Mississippi can be racist when it's a predominately Black state

@dgar Yeah, I'm the guy who's a dickheard for thinking about the implications of your post...

... and you're a fucking hero for posting unexamined dross of the sort you'd expect from a Trump supporter.

Pfft.

Hello fine people of Mastodon!

I'm Frank: a soil ecologist, popular-science author, nature macrophotographer and science communicator (and a very tired new father). Through my research and outreach, I'm determined to raise awareness of the tiny organisms that keep our soils (and our world) working!

@MastodonEngineering Thanks for the heads-up — good to know these versions will not require database migrations. Is there anything server admins should check before the Thursday release, or is it a straightforward update?

@georgetakei The kid has mad skills. He's a star already. I see some celebrities got involved. Good. Some people lose their minds over kids' sports, especially Karens and their hubbies.

@benroyce you can do this America, #VoteDammit!

In this episode Dr. Bashir solves a B-plot problem with an explosion at the end of the episode because the solution to the A-plot was too boring to air, so it gets explained away with a voiceover but actually is the link to the delta quadrant.

@daringfireball I hope this is a “2-in-1” style flip laptop like all those Windows ones that have been around for eons. Not much point for a touch screen if you can’t use it as a tablet with a stylus. Will be interesting to see whatever it is. I miss the days when leaks were rare and we were actually surprised by “one more thing.”

@jae@soc.dctui.me moon is rockin like dokken. so far it’s working with cofe. lit.

@mcc @puppygirlhornypost2 Sounds like it needs semantic markup of times, so the client can choose to render it. But it has to be in a way that the DOM and rendered result (or their attributes) itself cannot be read for fingerprinting.[1]

[1] Like, for example, reading the rendered width of a string with a proportional font, and making that a web font full of weird characters of prime widths that enable inference of the rendered value.

I only go to the profile tab to get to the account switcher since I run multiple channels, yet even that gets moved around—dare I say—willy nilly

We gotta calm it down with the A/B tests, yall

I swear half the time I open the YouTube app there's a different UI on the profile tab

Made a music video praising this woman. YouTube did not like it, but doesn’t matter. It’s in Vimeo while I appeal it, and it’s a joy I can dance to anytime I want. Wouldn’t mind sharing this catharsis with other pro-Palestine people.

She single-handedly took down one of the Internet’s worst pro-IDF propaganda couples. Thank you, Tamara.

@elomatreb Yeah, I tend to forget we're in very postmodern times.

when your compiler computes liveness and dataflow on a per-block basis so spilling actually makes the situation worse, because it inserts shorter-lived variables that are still seen as living the whole block

compilers are magic
