Cards Against Humanity sues SpaceX, alleges “invasion” of land on US/Mexico border
Reply in thread
One might argue that 'doing nothing' with land was an extremely good way of protecting it, but one would have to be talking to someone who was operating in good faith if they were to bother to do so...

Exam Answer
They missed out the context code:
trait DoW { def length: FiniteDuration }
object Monday extends DoW { override def length = 24.hours }
...
implicit def toDoW(s: String): DoW = s match {
case "Monday" => Monday
...
}
var day: DoW = _
(Duration formatting and language identification are left as an exercise for the reader)

This kiwifruit sold as "red kiwi"
I mean, it's red in the middle. That's not normal for a kiwi. Big fan, never seen these

Arch users trying to print files
Many years ago, my aunt bought an old, terribly specced laptop and couldn't get Windows to run on it. I installed Ubuntu and everything was fine - she could check her email and browse toxic conspiracy theories on Facebook and all was good with the world.
Two years later when visiting I got my first support request - would I mind showing her how to print something? No problem, but would you mind showing me what you were trying? She was selecting menu items to send to a virtual printer, not the one on the network. I show her the correct printer to send to and the thing prints. Easy. Out of curiosity, I check the outbox queue for the virtual printer. Over a hundred documents, going back two years.
For two years she'd been unable to print, and every single time she'd ever attempted to print something she'd followed the exact same steps that didn't work, and just accepted that this was the way things were.
SMH.

Did you know you can track Elons jet from Mastodon?
The only reason I give the slightest slightly green toilet-bowl-staining shit about this is because it upsets him and he deserves to be upset

Not sure about this one
Absolutely not. Lifeguards literally save so many lives. Maybe it's different in the US with its weird power structures and motives, but lifeguards are more like the fire brigade than the police here...

Only 32% of Catholic priests say that it's important to try and convince others to accept their religion. Evangelical pastors are at 82%.

This is great advice. It's easy to get disheartened with a spinning torrent, but heroes like you can turn that around.

How would you undermine open source software?
Spam poor quality llm commits from sockpuppet accounts to a bunch of popular projects. Sprinkle in some subtly-buggy contributions from more established accounts. The buggy contributions should not be obviously malicious (not, like, obfuscated credit stealers -- they should just break things). Do this to as many projects as you can without making it super obvious. Prefer projects with few maintainers but a high merge rate. Then, go think about what you did, you bastard.

Replace Your Regular Linux Commands With These Better Alternatives
Why is fzf, the best utility, relegated to the end? And why is ripgrep - a huge improvement over grep, especially if you want to search only on committed files in a git directory - not even mentioned? This list is outrageous. Even more so because I can't pretend to have known about all of these before, and annoyingly now have to face the fact that some of these actually look pretty handy.

It's just a greentext. It's fake.
Also gay.
Mostly it's a fetishization of being the minderstood smart kid with scenarios that aren't true but feel true.
Pretty fake. Pretty gay.
I don't really like the slur I've been using here, but authenticity requires it. Oi moi.
