is relevant

It isn’t. They even said so, “… has nothing to do with anything”

I think it’s okay to not find it funny.

I’ve also known good parents and bad, and probably all of them have days when they’re tired and just wishes to have 5 minutes of peace without the constant barrage of questions, many of which have been asked and answered a few times that day.

One of the formulas of a good joke is to take something mundane and turning it up to 11. Hence this post and us parents, good or bad, having a laugh at it; probably for different reasons.

Also I was told my mum felt like Yoda here, when 5 year old me started getting philosophical and asking existential questions…

Can confirm. Have Brit mates that prefer Marmite to, what they call “the inferior copy”, Vegemite. We’re still friends only because I worry they might die next time the temperature hits 30 degrees.

I enjoyed drag as well

Took me way too long trying to figure out how that has anything to do with the topic at hand.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Drag. I wonder if Drag is okay.

It’s bad practice to dangle your participles; in between or anywhere else.

This isn’t even news. They’ve been doing this for… well… ever.

It has to if you want federated servers. You spin up a server, it needs to know everything it subscribes to.

There is no solution, because it is not a problem. That’s just the nature of a federated system.

If I walk in the park, I risk people taking pictures of me. That’s the thing about parks, they’re public open spaces. The only solution is to stay home.

Does that not make them a hard link (pointing to a filesystem node) instead of a symlink (pointing to another filename)?

I mentally double check

So you’re saying you… mentally challenged yourself?

As “we” write more software slop

I still don’t understand the “whiskers”. What dataset are they using to train? I’ve literally not seen them until the prevalence of genAI.

I’m surprised there isn’t an active selfawarewolves community in the 'verse. This timeline is so full of them.

I think you’re projecting a little. People act like this no matter the field. We swim in the tech pool, so we mostly only see the shit floating in our pool.

I can assure you the neighbour’s pool also has their fair share of floaters.

Any type of bread following the same standard will fit into a standard toaster.

“implementing things in non-standard ways”, have been their modus operandi for about 3 decades now

This sort of happened in Australia. A high profile military veteran was accused of war crimes based on whistleblower documents. He sued the news org and the reporters.

Witnesses were heard, documents scrutinized. The whole thing was thrown away. Appeals were dismissed. And a couple years later he was arrested for allegations of war crimes.

No, what they’re describing is a False Friend. A very specific type of homophone/graph/nym. They work across languages. And in many cases (though not a hard rule) have close enough meaning/usage that would confuse non-native speakers trying to comprehend things via context.

E.g. A German telling his English friend, “I’ll meet you at the gymnasium”. The sentence is correct, and makes perfect sense to both. But they’ll end up at two different places.

It’s called a cloaca, you uneducated swine!

(Sorry, couldn’t pass on a good streak of online insult throwing)

Not to mention the 2000s video game aesthetics, where everything is “gritty” and is a shade of brown & grey. The drabness never went away, they just changed media.
