“Bureaucracy” like finding the config option, running tests, and committing to source control would all build up to more than one minute if a human does it.

It’s extraordinarily common to underestimate how long easy things take though!

I totally believe it took less than ten minutes. I don’t believe it would take less than one.

Large files is actually what git-lfs was made for. I haven’t used it extensively but the project has been around for quite a while (implying some measure of stability/userbase). I heard about it over ten years ago.

But your point still stands. GitHub isn’t the solution unless you have few files that you don’t mind being public (because I think GitHub has exposed private repos before).

My phone actually has a lot of buttons on it. 5, two of them are programmable.

So it’s happening!

It also reminds me of the nineties a bit, which was another time of rampant shovelware because of how cheap it was to produce a CD.

There were so many crappy discount games in the mid to late nineties that Wal Mart was selling them for under $5 at one point and you could get them in cereal boxes.

About a month ago, I temporarily rejoined the Fediverse after about a month away previously. As I had lost my login details, I had to set up a new account. I was shocked to find that Lemmy no longer just let me sign up but now I had to fill out a form and wait for it to be verified by a human moderator before I could use the platform.

This is insane because most (if not all) of the instances I’ve signed up for in the past few years have required a little application process.

This is not new by any means.

According to the document, she literally didn’t prosecute the case at all.

She refused to do anything.

Over the past six months, Plaintiff Ann Altman has refused to appear for an independent medical examination (“IME”) despite accommodations and multiple opportunities to do so, ignored other discovery obligations, caused delays that required modifications to the case-management order, and failed to meaningfully prosecute her case—willfully violating multiple court orders along the way.

You gotta do something if you want a case to proceed.

This has been the case for as long as I can remember.

This was how newspapers worked when they were actually paper. Wealthy people got the big papers and regular people got the local town.

I’m pretty sure it’s a joke, unless they spelled something wrong.

Searching for Wilhem Ritter Von Bamburg provides nothing but this thread on Google, DDG, and Kagi.

There’s more reliable information in another thread below.

My favorite detail is there is a plastic cup that gets crushed in the time between the first and second panels.

Which is pretty much unnoticeable but it’s a sign things are getting rowdier!

Oh and the kid drinking out of the leg.

What’s funny is, the author probably chose $150k as the cutoff for “rich” because it’s quite close to the top 25% of households.

A household with an income of $150k+ is in the top 27.6% of U.S. households according to 2025 census information if I copied and pasted right.

I’m sorry, what is this supposed to be?

Quick Edit: Oh it’s blind! I pity anyone who feels the need to look at Blind. I read it as a descriptor, “blind lunacy”

What is “White House & Policy,” why does it say “slync[dot]io” under it?

A shocking number of people seem to think this is from a White House account, but there’s no real source.

What is “this place”?

Mark is right there!

This is great, thanks for sharing!

I actually have a personal story that relates directly to “read wrong.”

I don’t spend much time in the ocean. This will be abundantly clear in a paragraph.

Once, I was wading around somewhere and saw what I thought was a plastic part of a snorkel that someone discarded, so I went to pick it up… and it started stinging me.

Which is when I remembered the phrase “blue bottle” and I would have facepalmed if my finger didn’t feel broken. I thought it was trash but instead I tried to “help” a Portuguese Man o’ War out of its natural habitat.

Extremely cool creatures though!

It might be.

This could have been posted by someone in a different country, or even an LLM. Blind is anonymous and therefore useless. It’s been a joke in tech for over a decade now. You can sometimes get real information but it’s not often.

This post trying to shift the language. Words matter.

Words do matter. This post is garbage spewed by no one. It could even be a fake screenshot. 

Sources matter just as much as words do. You’re giving a screenshot far too much power when it has no source.

It’s alarming how many people upvoted this meaningless Blind post, because people get caught up in the drama instead of realizing what they’re responding to.

I broke apart my insides*

They actually made modifications to the game’s palette to match Hawaii (and his desired end result) more.

The artist is actually using the map for a physical project next.

It’s all in this comment and their GitHub repo!

This is very cool, though AI is a contributor. Can’t wait to see the physical result!

Huh.

Does anyone else think that ChatGPT is still using the data, they’re just not referencing Reddit directly?

This is how you can tell Reddit’s $200+/share price is insane. Over 10% of its value dropped based on a different unprofitable company’s references to ingested content.

Yikes!!

The first sentence of the article shows the problem.

For years, we heard about the tech talent shortage — that there were a glut of jobs and not enough bodies to fill them.

The problem wasn’t ever “bodies,” which people have always misunderstood. It’s qualified workers.

I worked in tech for a long time, at a bunch of different companies, and I never once worked anywhere that there was a glut of jobs and “not enough bodies” to fill them.

The people going into these careers includes a large number of people who want the money but aren’t qualified do what we’re looking for.

Many of the true-blue Nazis didn’t really see the big deal after World War II.

When I asked Herr Wedekind, the baker, why he had believed in National Socialism, he said, “Because it promised to solve the unemployment problem. And it did. But I never imagined what it would lead to. Nobody did.”
I thought I had struck pay dirt, and I said, “What do you mean, ‘what it would lead to,’ Herr Wedekind?”
“War,” he said. “Nobody ever imagined it would lead to war.”

None of them ever heard anything bad about the Nazi regime except, as they believed, from Germany’s enemies, and Germany’s enemies were theirs. “Everything the Russians and the Americans said about us,” said Cabinetmaker Klingelhöfer, “they now say about each other.”

From They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45 by Milton Mayer.

Highly recommended.

Indeed, this is called cold reading and is how most of these things work.
