The Dread Pirate Roberts reference is from the movie Princess Bride.

Wesley spends years building up an immunity to a fictional substance called “iocaine powder”, the most deadly substance known to man. He tricks a foe into drinking wine laced with it, killing his foe while he survives.

No step

It absolutely is not the correct response. LTT and GN are very public and the suggestion to take the conversation private is bad. There is no backroom conversation that can “fix” shitty data.

I agree with Linus taking accountability for publishing bad test results. That is a good thing. Talking shit about GN and refusing to walk back on that is bad. That is unprofessional.

The username does align, but that is not proof in itself and could explain the downvote. For the purposes of this thread, I believe!

Edit in some Chinese subtitles and the shadow of a front row of people and you can make it really look like an authentic rip.

Byproducts of burning PET (soda bottle plastic): hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, dioxins, furans and heavy metals

No, you can’t go all Dread Pirate Roberts and slowly build up an immunity to those over several years. Try as you might to impress that lady friend, it won’t work.

It literally hijacks my webcam, takes pictures of me nude and uses AI to put me in a room sharing crack pipes with lady-boy hookers.

Also, it will occasionally change all of my emails into haikus, but that is fairly benign.

Well, it’s the gays or atheists. Or “colored” people. Or whoever they are told to hate at that moment. This happens more than you know in this day and age:

The “midlife crisis” is real. For me, it’s looking for new things to do, cutting out bad habits (drinking) and am trying not to think about how life is actually all downhill from here. I am not going to buy a sports car or anything, but some healthy experimentation with psychedelics does seem to scratch that itch.

I think I rationalized my fear by understanding just how much shit I have seen and I still have another 30 to 40 years left, which is a good thing.

That is why I fell in love with shrooms, TBH. Psilocybin has resurrected a curiosity in me that I haven’t felt in years. I just seemed that at 40 years, there aren’t many situations that I haven’t seen or experienced in daily life. As a side benefit, I have learned how to grow mushrooms.

Edit: haven’t

I haven’t even read the article and I can summarize it: “Elon is an idiot.”

Ecosystems are fine as long as they aren’t fully locked and limited. That is super rare, I know.

If common protocols are used so that interoperability can happen, that is OK. ZigBee and ZWave would be quick examples off the top of my head.

I am sad about RIF. It blocked all the ads, didn’t show all the shitty awards, was super clean, the video player worked well and the mod tools were awesome.

On a side note, its sad demise led me to Lemmy, so all is well.

Yeah, there is a ton of room for Lemmy to grow. With time, it should get easier for newer people to use it as the apps mature.
