I built a notifier for new movie releases for myself and there are so many of these movies. One would think the market is saturated by now, but apparently there are enough people who enjoy this kind of content for the never ending onslaught.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I’m not queer, but I welcome the diversity and variety. Definitely room for some sociology papers, I think.

I am happy that trans people can be who they want to be, even if there is still a long way to go. But I am thrown by how statistics, that consistently give numbers of <1% to 3% for transsexual people in the general population, don’t match the number of transitioning stories I read online. I get why that is, safe space, confirmation bias and all, but it’s such a major disconnect between experience and actual numbers that it constantly trips me up. From what I read online, the percentage of trans people feels like it’s around 20-30%. Or, in this case, 50%.

The richest third world country.

May of what? “May have” and not “may of”.

I watched a triple feature of the extended edition in a cinema years ago. What an experience, to spend the entire day there. During a break we got Chinese takeout, the people from the cinema didn’t care. But the people sitting in front of us were annoyed. Or jealous, because they didn’t have this genius idea and instead had to eat the overpriced garbage from the concession stand. I prefer to believe it’s the latter.

Sono Pazzi Questi Romani, “People called ‘Romanes’ they go the house”

I remember when r/ProgrammerHumor was full of hilariously bad UX/UI. There were so many amazing entries.

I heard about people using multiple used 3090s in a single motherboard for this. Apparently it delivers a lot of bang for the buck, as compared to a single card with loads of VRAM.

Reagan is responsible for a lot of the shit the world is experiencing right now.

It’s Walter Cronkite reporting on Kennedy’s assassination. I’m not American, but I’ve seen it often enough now to know this.

Challenger and Chernobyl, as they happened within a few months.The shape of the Challenger cloud will be forever seered into my brain. And after Chernobyl we had to seek cover immediately when it started to rain and weren’t allowed to play on grass, I’ll always remember that sense of unease. We also had two young kids from the Ukraine in our home for a while. Thinking back on that I feel so bad for them. They were so far from home and communication only worked through a paper dictionary. They didn’t shower for a while because they were told water was very expensive. Somehow their hovercraft was full of eels.

This has been my favorite Halloween comic for many years now.

Quickly looking at your past comments it’s easy to see why nobody likes you.

Can’t you just, like, copy&paste the copypasta? That shithole of a site you linked to won’t show me the content unless I log in.

I think you get burns from direct contact and it requires continuous application, otherwise the person will wake up. At least that’s what I heard. No practical experience at all. Seriously, none at all.

Sir, please stop fingerin’ the chickens. This is not a Wendy’s.

Well, that sounds good. But my god is that a complicated mess. It’s not working for me and I don’t have the will to deal with that crap anymore. Set up my own CouchDB, ran the init script, connection test is fine. But I can’t get the plugin to actually sync anything, it just keeps failing with “Failed to initialise the encryption key, preventing replication”. Whatever that means. It won’t explain which encryption key or what failed. I did not enable E2E encryption.
