Coding at night with the lights off makes you feel like one of the cool movie hackers.

It’s not Santa’s fault, he’s thousands of years old so he probably had his IT stack built out ages ago and never bothered to consider upgrades so he just assumed that 10/100 was still state of the art!

Living in large groups is literally one of the defining traits of our species though.

And you just know that this is the type of restaurant to throw out still edible food in a dumpster and then call the cops when starving people try to take stuff from the dumpster.

“Why is everyone on Lemmy so judgemental?”

Also people on Lemmy: makes up an entire hypothetical scenario about a literal child and their parents that they know nothing about and judges them for it.

The article didn’t mention this, but would disabling the UEFI logo in the boot screen mitigate the vulnerability until proper patches get rolled out? (Or honestly at this point, I’d keep it disabled even after it’s patched in case they didn’t patch it right. UEFI’s are all proprietary so it’s not like you can check.) Since the vulnerability is in the image parser, would bypassing that be enough?

Do they even let you disable it?

Wait till you hear about the plastic and play-dough “food” they use in advertisements and the glamour shots on a restaurant menu or order board.

Honestly we deserve it. Orcas are considered sapient and on par with human intelligence by many experts, and one could argue we’re colonizing them.

Always remember to tip your landlords, the most exploited class in society.

In fact, what are you doing living in their house? What, just because you’re paying for it? Are you trying to forcibly evict them from their private property?! You housing-addicted loser. /s

Makes me feel better that bats are as uncoordinated as me.

It’s always ironic and super self aware wolf when a customer says they “feel bad” for you because you’re working on Sunday, Christmas, etc, or working in the dead of night for 24/7 establishments.

Also, Catholics and many other Christian denominations literally believe that people who work on a Sunday go to hell for violating the Sabbath, yet after Sunday mass tons of them flood into restaurants, causing the cooks and wait staff to go to hell.

In the spirit of Alec’s pedentry, I must mention that lube does not work by making things moist, instead it works by reducing friction and preventing direct contact between solids. Oil based lubes are a prime example of this as they contain very little water and therefore is ineffective at making things moist but is still effective at reducing friction. Water by itself is actually a pretty bad lube.

Also we’re talking about machine lube right? …right?

And then Windows overwrites your bootloader so it can only boot into Windows.

So if you have to be 13+ to even sign up for Twitter why would they let him be the CEO?

And with a longer bed because it doesn’t waste space with a “luxury cabin.”

And god forbid you point out the fact that this attitude among consumers is exactly the reason these companies are brazen enough to pull this shit. People don’t want to hear how their attitudes around instant gratification and focus on convenience over absolutely all else just might have consequences.

Or, you know, at least clean it first.

And you just know that this is the family that will make your own camping trip hell if you end up beside them.

Nah, because that would involve the slightest reduction in personal freedom which as we all know is a fate not only worse than death, but worse than hellfire itself.

IIRC the current theory is that many (likely most) had feathers but few of the large ones had actual wings beyond just a row of longer feathers on the forearms. The bodily structures that allow flight are absent on the vast majority of dinosaurs so it’s thought they mostly used their arm feathers as rudders for better control when running (which the ostrich and other large flightless birds still use). However, it is thought that some smaller species likely did have wings which they used to glide much like a flying squirrel. Eventually they evolved larger chest muscles and a keel for attaching said large muscles, and at that point you could reasonably just call them birds, which are to this day a subset of dinosaurs.

Except EVs still have a significant carbon footprint from their manufacture. So do train cars and buses, but to transport everyone in cars instead of public transportation would require orders of magnitude more materials, and therefore a much higher carbon footprint. Not to mention the poor land use that car dependency causes, which both leads to deforestation and impedes reforestation, which is a further climate change contributor.

Humanity: suffers endlessly

“God,” who supposedly created all aspects about humans, their nature and the world and already knew in advance everything that would happen including humans eating from the tree of knowledge: and who’s fault is that?

It’s like writing a bad computer program and then being mad at it when it crashes.

Coulomb had the last laugh though because Newton’s theory has been superseded by relativity.

Imagine showing up to an HOA meeting with a presentation on why we need to spend ten million dollars on a localizer and glideslope array so Larry wouldn’t have to divert to O’Hare when it’s foggy again.
