Yes you do.

Was just talking with a coworker about how with the rise of server-side rendering we’re finally technologically back to Web 1.0

Perhaps the government should collect money from the AI companies — they could call it something simple, like “taxes” — and distribute the money to anyone who had ever written something that made its way to the internet (since we can reasonably assume that everything posted online has now been sucked in to the slop machines)

But that’s what I’m saying - From a practical perspective we’ve learned that it is essentially impossible to prosecute – let alone convict – a sitting president. They have de facto immunity, even if it’s not technically de jure.

Didn’t the Supreme Court last year basically decide that the President can do anything without restriction if it’s to execute his duties? Until someone does something about that I don’t understand the purpose of articles like this other than to be rage bait.

There might be a lot more millionaires than before, but it’d still be a much smaller number who could drop $1M on a flying car.

I’d be willing to bet that there’s a direct relationship between not just the size of an online community and its overall “civility” level, but also its age. I’ve seen threads in chat rooms of 8 normally good-natured folks get Godwin’d just because they continued on for long enough that one topic turned heated. With Lemmy we’re seeing a natural increase in both.

I joined about 3 years ago and there was much, much less content and conversation, which definitely made me try to be more polite as possible to the few who posted (if only because it’d be the same folks over and over again and I didn’t want to discourage them from participating). Now that’s less of a concern, so while I still try to be mindful of my posts and comments, it’s to much less of a degree than before.

😂 Ok so the “regularly” in my post is doing a bit of lifting. Not too much tho (anchovy is the only other one you could possibly consider frequently used, unless you have a particularly bizarre vocabulary).

“Bizarre” is the only word from the Basque language that is regularly used in the English language

(Can’t wait to be proven wrong in 5… 4… 3…)

My team uses Expensify, and I have to say, I don’t hate it. The website is full featured, the mobile app is actually pretty good, and you can even just email receipts to an email address and it will parse them out properly the vast majority of the time. Management-wise it has all of the approval chains, grouping, etc that you might expect. The company I work for is only about 50 people and my team is only 10 so I couldn’t say how well it scales, but I imagine unless you have some particularly unique requirements it’d do the job.

Believe it or not that initial wave of consolidation brought prices down. A license of SGI Power Animator cost over $30k in the 90s. softImage was not far behind. 3ds Max basically took the fight out of them, at which point Autodesk started going on a buying spree.

Trolling.

They’ll implant new skills like “learning to knit”, but won’t mention anything about how to use the three seashells.

The two things I always tell my type-A kids:

1. There is no “on time” or “on schedule”, and
2. You can’t min/max your way through life

Both are great ways to stress/burn yourself out.

It doesn’t come up much except to underscore that in The Culture there is no “normal” with regard to sex or gender because people can be whatever they want and can change on a whim. so without a base gender/sex you can’t have a queer gender/sex.

I believe in the Quantum Claus^TM theory - there’s just one guy, and he just makes one present for just one kid (on the nice list, which has at most just one name). But on Christmas Eve he exists in a superposition of states at every child’s house with every possible gift.

Thanks for the reminder!

@pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org posts fantastic, fediverse-only comics to !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org. They can be super weird and will admittedly not be for everyone, but hey isn’t that why we’re all here in the first place?

So. Much. Fucking. Litter.

Seriously. Fully-automated luxury gay space communism. I could do without most of those adjectives and still be living it large.
