another issue here is the sheer number of people who drive with their lights off after dusk. because if i flash my lights at them to alert them of it, they don’t get it. because the tendency here is to interpret any form of communication as aggression instead of as communication 😐 which, i mean… “self-fulfilling prophecy” isn’t quite it but it’s not far from the mark.
west coast is too passive about it in some places. i’ve pulled a turn and then seen a car in my mirror like 5 feet from my bumper, slamming its breaks. now i know i need to be more cautious around these low visibility intersections… but he didn’t even honk at me: how much unsafe shit am i pulling without knowing it because nobody ever tells me. honk at me, for god’s sake!
okay so the furries are all in on frontend while the Linux graybeards do the low level C shit. the femboys can’t get enough Rust and are somewhere in the middle doing web backends and services, the transfems like Rust too, but also weirder things like Nix or functional programming and lean more towards OS and systems type of stuff right?
i like this because it explains why the furries seem to have more visibility than the other groups, it lets each group have a little bit of space while still all being part of the same team, and honestly it matches the people i’ve worked with like 80-90%.
nah, the weebs have mastodon, the furries left for bsky, it was a mutual breakup. they left because it wasn’t hip enough, we stayed because oh my god they’re so full of themselves.

lick behind the knee… goddammit, i need to know
from my limited experience, about half? i had to finally set up a robots.txt last month after Anthropic decided it would be OK to crawl my Wikipedia mirror from about a dozen different IP addresses simultaneously, non-stop, without any rate limiting, and bring it to its knees. fuck them for it, but at least it stopped once i added robots.txt.
Facebook, Amazon, and a few others are ignoring that robots.txt, on the other hand. they have the decency to do it slowly enough that i’d never notice unless i checked the logs, at least.
wow, way to devolve into the YouTube comments section, Lemmy. that’s so not fetch.
breaking the fourth wall IRL? i think it’s brilliant. my generation got halfway there with “meta”: “chat” is just the next step past that.
2·26 days agoi found CAD files for this here. i’m gonna try and CNC it later today 😄

this has been a thing for like five years, on sites as big as e.g. Youtube. do they not see it as a bug, somehow? or is it just way harder to fix than one would think for complicated computery reasons?
they exist! i have a pair from Gaiam, advertised as “grippy yoga socks”. they ain’t cheap though :(
grippy socks make life worth living during the season where it’s too cold to walk around barefoot. trick your brain into thinking it’s actually walking on dirt/rocks, with all them little bumps beneath your feet.
so are we still calling 3rd-party voters evil or are we done with that yet? need to know before November thx
“Spoiler effect” is so dumb. like oh, i’m the bad guy for voting for the candidate that you agree is better than the one you voted for??
give me a break. i’m literally not the one to blame for that.
allegedly, Gerber had trouble entering regions where the literacy rate is low because in such places consumers identify food products based on the imagery on the packaging, or the contents itself if the packaging is clear. in Gerber’s case, you have a jar of unidentifiable mush, with the image of a (likely foreign-looking) baby. conclusion: what’s in the jar?
dunno if that’s folklore or real. but the Wendy thing is just that they’re always doing edgy stuff on their socials. they know how to spot an innuendo, because that’s what they do.
i’ve never seen this many airplanes in one thread before

unless not linking is part of the joke somehow in which case tell me off & i’ll delete this.
