I'm not sure what bit of my brain is responsible for this, but I just have a habit of accumulating *stuff*.

Things that seem interesting, or are cheap, or look like they might be useful.

The problem is that when I realise "oh I've got too much stuff", I absolutely fail at getting rid of things.

It's the sort of "this is just a bit too nice to straight up throw away, but finding someone who might use it is a bit of a stretch"

PSA: Twitter* links are almost completely useless if you don't have an account.

Links to tweets will give you that one tweet, none of the replies or other parts of the same thread. Links to profiles will just redirect to a login screen.

If you post a twitter link, it is useless to a lot of people. Add a screenshot or copy the text you want people to see.

(before you reply that you already know: I know that you, dear reader, know. you are awesome that way, after all. but people who still have a twitter* account don't, because they don't see this)

The problem with humans is that we think we’re separate from nature, when in fact, we are nature.

When we destroy this planet, we destroy ourselves.

When we protect this planet, we protect ourselves.

We have a lot of growing up to do.

It’s time to evolve.

My dudes, Telegram is not an e2e messaging app like Signal or WhatsApp. Telegram is more like Twitter. It is a social media app that is mostly public content that also happens to have DMs, where you can turn on e2e messaging with questionable cryptography that most people never even bother to use.

Hard to portray the latter on TV, when it's just someone sitting in a chair staring off into space. Perhaps with a transparent montage of their analyzing on top of the scene.

@revk CDs play from the inside out, so yeah, as long as there isn't any data in the area with the grooves
RevK, it should, in theory, because CDs are recorded from the center out

So putting an air purifier in a day care cuts kids sick days by a third.

Man, someone from Waterloo public health should just grab their credit card, order 220 air purifiers, and give two to every child care center in the city.

SYDNEY — Australia gave millions of workers the legal right to "disconnect" on Monday, allowing them to ignore unreasonable out-of-hours contact from employers, to the distress of big industry.

Instead of

sudo nano /etc/whatever

try running

sudo -e /etc/whatever

This will make a copy of the file to be edited by your normal editor, unprivileged, and when you exit the editor, the original file's contents will be replaced.

The cool thing about this is that you're inside your familiar environment, with your editor's config and all.

The disadvantages are that you have to _exit_ the editor to apply the changes, and you can't load other files.

Okay, drop everything. tom7 has found a reasonable use case for generative "AI".

Creating fully justified text paragraphs (that's when all lines are the same length, as opposed to simple left-aligning).

Not by introducing hyphens or optimizing the whole paragraph like previous-century #typesetting systems (e.g. #TeX) do.

But by rewriting the text to choose different words that fit better.

Finding a TV to buy is a fucking weird experience, because you'll find a TV for like, 200 bucks, and then you'll go online to see if it like, you know, displays images and won't fall apart immediately and the reviews are like

"don't buy that TV, buy this [$1000 TV] instead"
"I would only put that in the woodshed in one of my 6 AirBnBs"
"I wouldn't piss on that TV if it was on fire, I'd only piss on this [$1500] TV instead"
"yeah buy it if you're STUPID and like WASTING MONEY and HATE YOURSELF"
"that TV is trash, so are you, everything about you is poor and bad and I literally wake up every morning, go out and buy one of these, then smash it with a baseball bat"

and then you get the TV and it's totally fucking fine, because of course it is, this is the year 2024 and even a "garbage" TV is perfectly cromulent at having pixels light up.

New analysis says that burning wood pellets to generate electricity produces FOUR TIMES as much CO2 as COAL. Time to shut the Drax power station without delay. Atmospheric physics isn’t fooled by greenwashing claims.

We asked 1,000+ attendees to mask indoors this weekend, and everyone just did. I didn’t have to stop and remind a single person the entire 3 days.

There were definitely gaps in the policy, the risk wasn’t reduced to zero, but if anyone is wondering if it’s possible for events and large gatherings to make reasonable accommodations to reduce the risk of spreading COVID, it absolutely is, we proved it, and your event should be doing it too.

Glinda dropped Dorothy's house on the Wicked Witch of the East, not the tornado, and uses Dorothy to gain control of Oz.

One of the first things Glinda tells Dorothy is that SHE killed the witch. They praise her so she'll accept it, and when the Witch of the West comes along, who killed her sister?

Dorothy.

Glinda then puts the ruby slippers on Dorothy's feet but does not tell her that she can use them to go home. Instead she sends Dorothy to Oz in possession of objects that a witch would murder her for.

Dorothy, being forced into a situation where her only salvation is Oz and her worst enemy is the queen, inadvertently exposes the Wizard of Oz as a fraud and murders the Witch of the West.

Now who's left to rule Oz? Glinda fuckin' witch of the North. She used Dorothy as an expendable pawn to gain control of Oz without having to leave her bubble. And when Dorothy is done upheaving the two biggest powers in Oz, Glinda sends her home and makes her think it was all a dream!

In the book, there were two good witches, the Good Witch of the North, and Glinda, the Good Witch of the South. Dorothy meets the Good Witch of the North at the beginning, who does not know the power of the magic slippers (silver, not ruby), while she only meets Glinda at the end. Incidentally, it's the Munchkins who tell Dorothy that she killed the Wicked Witch of the East.
I got really into those books for a while as a kid.

valid t take on the movie. In the book, Glinda didn't know the shots could take her home, she learns it from the good witch of the south, who was cut from the story for the movie.
