Photuris

I unironically love Latinisation (and Greekification).

“Crabification” would have worked just fine to express this idea, but “carcinisation” sounds so scientific and erudite.

People dog on English, but I think it’s really cool how we have other ancient source languages to pull from to coin “smart” words when needed. And when you dig into the etymology of the “fancy” word, it adds texture, layers, history, and extra context to the whole thing.

Ok, that was a tangent. Carry on.

That’s one (of many) reasons I don’t want to give up remote work.

Bosses say that remote work misses “the human element” and “face to face” time.

Yes, and I couldn’t be more happy about it.

Leave your networked electronics at home, simple as that.

Bring a separate camera/go pro, if you want a camera on hand. Same with satnav.

My comment was deleted for being too hardcore I guess (even though it got upvotes, so at least someone agrees with me). But I spoke zero lies and I 100% stand by what I said.

Regardless, I’ll rephrase in a gentler way: empathy is wasted on these people. They are effectively irredeemable.

I say we dispense with empathy. Casting pearls before swine, and all that.

If we wish to defeat Fascism, we cannot be gentle.

Our grandfathers who defeated Fascism in Europe didn’t do it by being understanding and forgiving. Allied soldiers dragged German citizens to the concentration camps and made them look at it.

Sometimes shaming is exactly what you need to do.

100% we need to switch back to entirely paper ballots, even if it takes months to determine a winner.

And this stuff isn’t funny. It’s just real now.

Well, they’re certainly not “conservatives.” I see no conserving going on.

So, what do we do?

There are also external AI tools that do this just fine.

But imagine these tools generating summaries of summaries.

No, which is why many of us opposed the Patriot Act during the Bush era.

The question “what about a future administration that could abuse this level of access” wasn’t just a rhetorical one, it was prescient and timely.

The party of small government at it again.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

They will be, when it affects them personally.

In other words, typical Republican thinking.

Protestors are adults who understand and accept the risks.

People are going to die defending democracy. And the jackboots will most likely shoot first. We all know this.

War is coming, let’s stop pretending it’s not gonna happen.

Microsoft Outlook started this stupid shit.

Before then, emails (and Usenet posts) were always appended to the bottom, and good netiquette required one to intentionally quote the specific germane lines from the previous message and respond to them inline, point-by-point, for brevity, conciseness, and context, just as God intended.

My car CD player had that. And it worked great, until you decided to encode with a variable bitrate (e.g., lame --preset r3mix).

Oh well, 192 will do.

You just unlocked a memory here.
