My understanding of the joke is less about tables, more about pontification; I.e. “it is so because we say it is”.

automatically read aloud

Oof. I’ve got some mates with word choices that would raise some questions from the toddler.

With the 5 Eyes agreement, the they’re one and the same.

Bear in mind that “free speech” just means you can’t be arrested for what you say.

When someone’s talk is being boycotted or - in this case - refused entry to a region, their free speech rights aren’t being infringed.

That said, I (and the French, it seems) agree with your sentiment, this is totally an appalling move by Germany.

This actually got a good laugh out of me. I have a toddler, and I can see what you did totally made sense in your mind, and that it was dad’s fault for not being specific enough with the instructions.

Egyptians didn’t have cranes

But they did have storks, which are almost as good.

You know what’s funny, the two clients that don’t support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.

Look up “Stanford marshmallow experiment”.

Hahahah. I don’t know how my sleep-deprived brain got to “I am Bob”.

Yeah, audio isn’t my preferred medium, but since I now commute by car instead of public transport, it’s the only viable means of book consumption for me. It’s unfortunate because a bad narrator can turn me off of an otherwise good book.

Sanderson’s Skyward series have different narrators on Spotify and Audible. One of them I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. The other, Sophie Aldred, is a real pleasure to listen to.

Huh, interesting. I am Bob is literally next on my audiobook playlist.

Sigh. As a fan of Sanderson, Abercrombie, and Gibson, I am now compelled to check out your other recommendations. As if I haven’t already had an overly long queue of things to read…

It looks like they lifted the ban in the USA too? If you’re still keen, do give them a ring.

FYI, in Australia they scrapped the rule a couple years ago and you would’ve been able to donate now (at least blood, not sure about organs).

Wherever you are, maybe check again if they’ve relaxed the rule.

I can’t stand Rossman’s videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.

Me in the late 90s: CSS is not a language!

Today: Holy crap, it’s now Turing-complete.

“It’s a deck of playing cards. How much more fun can it be, compared to the 50+ other solitaire games? And why would I want to play poker by myself?”

So I got a bit of money leftover after bills, and decided to get it anyway cause I haven’t played anything fun this year. Went in blind without reading or watching any reviews.

Turns out it’s NOT just your standard deck of playing cards. You can do all sorts of crazy things to your deck. Like playing illegal hands such as five-of-a-kind, or a flush house. It’s a lot of fun.

Thus just feels like a lazy LLM-generated article.

Here are some secrets of Linux that many people may not be aware of. *Proceeds to list things that Linux is famous for*

some kind of hobby (especially one with a social component)

Okay, I just joined a guild in WoW and started doing 40-man raids. What’s the next step?

25MB… Is that a lot?

Depends, I guess. For a Godot app? Probably about average.

For a quick and dirty native app? This timer app I use is 160kB. Less than 1% in size.
