you need to be able to have vacations and save for retirement and do fun things from time to time

ahem actually people only need to exist and survive until they work themselves to death getting tangled in the gears of my spinning jennys

From my own sources: Taylor is indeed done, and not just on Twitch.

it’s a level 2 meme

meme 1

• taylor swift use jet lots
• taylor swift campaign for environment lots
• taylor swift try sue “taylor swift jet tracker” twitter person
• funny to make fun of hypocritical person
• = meme series implying taylor swift uses her private jet in funny scenarios like to cross the road or to go to her private yet

meme 2

less of a meme, more a video that surfaced of a police officer trying to execute a handcuffed man because an acorn fell on the roof of his car and he thought it was a gunshot and later had to resign

meme 1 + 2

taylor swift in private jet drop acorn out of window, land on police car roof, scare police, lead to bodycam video

you can e2e encrypt emails though?

if i show up driving this and you’re not even a bit impressed with me, that’s a you problem at that point

every company has shareholders, including larian studios

you can’t set up a company without specifying shareholders

if you’re just going to take us back in circles again this discussion is a bit pointless, isn’t it?

if you aren’t refusing to acknowledge they’re ux problems, you’re saying it’s unhelpful to call them what they are, which is obviously nonsense

and again, sane defaults are ux

or i could argue that an issue 90% of people will run into is a higher priority than one 2% of people will run into

or i could argue than the risk of accidentally opening something you didn’t want to is higher than the risk of losing unsaved work

the reason foss sucks when it comes to ux is this attitude of insisting that ux problems are somehow some “other” category of problem, rather than an engineering constraint that needs to be designed around like every other one

case in point, for some reason you’re still refusing to acknowledge that they’re both ux problems. and if you do, your original reply ceases to even make sense.

yet very different

which is why my first words to you were “it is and it isn’t”

binning them into the same category is not helpful

both are caused by people in the foss space not paying enough attention to ux

increased attention to ux could solve both

personally i think categorising all work solely through the lens of severity is unhelpful

Single/double click behavior is a matter of preference.

And defaulting to the preference that most people prefer or are used to is a matter of UX.

Which is why I say they’re both UX decisions.

it is and it isn’t

they’re both bad UX, which FOSS is generally pretty bad at, probably because there’s not as much overlap between people who who are really into FOSS and people who are really into UX

linux-centric communities also tend to be plagued by elitism, which i expect stifles a lot of this kind of thing before proper conversations can take root

why is he waiting on you hand-and-foot if all you’re doing is sipping a coffee?

It takes a certain amount of energy for water to exist as water, a certain amount of energy for oxygen to exist as oxygen, and a certain amount of energy for hydrogen to exist as hydrogen

The amount of energy it takes for water to keep being water is less than the sum total of the energy it takes for oxygen and hydrogen to keep being themselves.

When you burn hydrogen, it combines with oxygen in the air and makes water. But that requires less energy to exist, so where does the excess energy go? It’s released as heat.

To split water back into hydrogen and oxygen, you have to re-add that same amount of energy again.

Hydrogen as a fuel isn’t so much a source of energy as a store of energy. A battery doesn’t make energy. You charge it with energy so that you can retrieve that energy later. Similarly, a big power plant electrolyses a bunch of water and makes a bunch of hydrogen. Later, you can use that hydrogen in your car without having to be connected to the big power plant that made it.

this is all probably largely wrong and you should ignore it chemistry SUCKS

no, but lots of things about the employee-employer relationship are fucked up, but refusing to act around that information on principle is likely to affect your career somewhat

we all must toil under society—like it or not, even if the system is bad—while the current system remains in place

Honestly if you work for a large employer, I’d assume that

• they were always monitoring internal chats, just with more primitive keyword-based filters
• they have now upgraded to llm-based filters

it’s next to the time ghost, to the right of 3 tuesdays ago

deef nuts

What’s an alternative that features the presents-giving at the same time of year

Festivus is explicitly non-commercial

politicians don’t use social media for “convenience”
