Anyone care to guess how long before that island is completely submerged due to rising seas?

Doesn’t exactly seem like a long-term base.

Stop using X/Twitter! Especially if you want to stop promoting hate.

Complaining on X/Twitter about hate speech is like bitching about racism at a Nazi rally.

It’s really hard to time it just right but the theme to Jeopardy 👍

Get it wrong and it’ll really surprise you!

Astronomers: The Sun is a recent development

Check for sap-sucking bugs. Not all of them hang out in easy-to-see places all day. They could be down by the soil or under perfectly healthy looking leaves.

Even if you don’t see them it won’t hurt to spray some insecticidal soap here and there on to the plant. Sometimes it takes care of bugs you can’t see.

This article could’ve been written any decade since the 1990s. It’s nothing new: The big game companies haven’t changed a bit and continue to exploit workers.

The only way to change things is via stronger worker protections/regulations.

As expected, nobody cares about “reader mode”. Only once in my life has it ever come in handy… It was a website that was so badly designed I swore never to go back to it ever again.

I forget what it was but apparently I wasn’t the only one and thus, it must’ve died a fast death as I haven’t seen it ever again (otherwise I’d remember).

Basically, any website that gets users so frustrated that they resort to reader/simplified mode isn’t going to last very long. If I had my way I would change the messages:

“This website appears to be total shit. Do you want Firefox to try to fix it so your eyes don’t bleed trying to get through it?”

I want an extension that does this, actually! It doesn’t need to actually modify the page. Just give me a virtual assistant to comiserate with…

“The people who made this website should have their browser’s back button removed entirely as punishment for erecting this horror!”

It doesn’t work in comments

Just wanted to throw my hat into the ring: I like them too.

Now we just need inline looping gifs/videos and I’ll have every feature I’ve ever wanted👍

Kissing? Try watching True Blood with the fam 👍

Oh my, what a crime: Insulting dead people 🙄

This is why the rest of the world thinks China:

• Obviously doesn’t have freedom of speech
• Is super authoritarian; in the dumbest ways

Back to the old days where only employees will get away with stealing.

I hear if you grow up in this thing it provides mad street cred.

Of all the insignificant, immaterial, inconsequential things to be bitching about.

A great big bottle of tap water or a gallon jug of water for when you’re ready to leave. Why? So you can wash the sand/dirt off your feet before getting into your car.

Just leave it in the car and it’ll be nice and warm when the time comes 👍

Correct 👍

You had corruption with btrfs? Was this with a spinning disk or an SSD?

I’ve been using btrfs for over a decade on several filesystems/machines and I’ve had my share of problems (mostly due to ignorance) but I’ve never encountered corruption. Mostly I just run out of disk space because I forgot to balance or the disk itself had an issue and I lost whatever it was that was stored in those blocks.

I’ve had to repair a btrfs partition before due to who-knows-what back when it was new but it’s been over a decade since I’ve had an issue like that. I remember btrfs check --repair being totally useless back then haha. My memory on that event is fuzzy but I think I fixed whatever it was bitching about by remounting the filesystem with an extra option that forced it to recreate a cache of some sort. It ran for many years after that until the disk spun itself into oblivion.
