tbh my grandma considered movies and TV brainrot and my parents don’t understand why people watch someone playing a video game on Youtube rather than playing. I think there are legitimate criticisms of Tik Tok and other social media, but this just reads as that simpsons quote:
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
The Substance. Go see it.
Not sure, but I guess this could be handled entirely client side, but then creates bad experiences across different platforms. I’m not sure what happens now on Mastadon if someone replies to your note and doesn’t @ mention you? As someone coming from Reddit, I think they way Lemmy handles nested conversations and notifications makes more sense.
That’s the major thing I hate about Mastodon, where threaded comments include every user in the chain. It reads so terribly and just messes up everything. The server knows which comment is nested with other comments, and the UI shows this. The only thing they’re useful for is notifications, and even that seems like a solved problem on the server side to handle.
Do any of the pages in the directory link to other websites? It could be that if you link to a website that is using Google analytics, it may see that referrer header when the person using chrome opened the link. If it knew that your site didn’t have links to the third party site before, maybe that triggered a refresh.
You could test this by making a page linking to CNN or another site which is using Google analytics, and using Firefox (without anything that would block Google Analytics) and click on the link on your site to the other site. if the Google bot checks your site within 10 seconds then you could rule out chrome as the culprit.
I think it’s pretty understandable that your BIL is nervous about celebrating with his bf’s family for the first, and assume he’s not trying to be a dick to you. Really this is between your wife and her brother though. I’m sure he wants to show his bf’s family he has a loving and supportive family as well, and that your wife wants to spend Christmas with her parents. Blowing up the plans over your friend will probably strain the relationship with you and your wife and her family.
Maybe before Christmas your wife can have your friend and her brother meet in a neutral setting, so he feels comfortable with it. Also, Christmas dinner is only a few hours. You could totally make a new tradition with your friend for Christmas Eve or Boxing Day on your own terms.
If someone was kidnapped, there would be signs with the picture of the kidnapped person, along with name and other info, so why the confusion with another person?
What? The second half of this makes no sense.
Fuck, I hate AppImages so much. Never heard of gearlever, thanks i hope this helps a lot.
Edit: Ok Gearlever is pretty great! Now I can finally open Heroic normally. That pissed me off for so long.
Yeah, it’s unclear to me at the time if the dialogue box in the screenshot appeared when doing a select all operation, but it reads as though the OP dev didn’t understand git, discarded their work, and got upset that it was an option.
Realistically if the dialogue box appeared, I’m not sure there would be anything else the IDE could do to prevent the dev from themselves. Perhaps reject operations affecting 5000 files? But then you’ll just have someone with the same issue for 4000 files.
reading through it, it sounds like they opened a project in VSCode, and it saw that there was a local git repo already initialized, with 3 months of changes uncommitted and not staged. So the options there are to stage the changes (git add) to be committed or discard the changes (git checkout -- .). I guess they chose the discard option thinking it was a notification and i guess the filename would be added to gitignore or something? Instead, it discarded the changes, and to the user, it looked like VSCode did rm -rf and not that this was the behavior of git. Since the changes were never committed, even git reflog can’t save them.
I hate Trump as much as the next person, and virtually all the pandemic response was a shit show from the White House, but operation warp speed proved to be an actual good thing during a terrible time. It’s very impressive we developed a vaccine so quickly and got us out of the pandemic faster because of it. It’s kinda funny how one of his best accomplishments is the only thing his supporters will boo him about, and he largely can’t take the credit for because of the backlash.
Obligatory Line Goes Up video, although not exclusively about Bitcoin.
I do admit that early in Bitcoin’s life, around 2013, i was a interested in Bitcoin as an alternative to banking, but the volatility and speculation alienated me from the community. Anyone buying BTC now for $90k, you need to realize this turned into a pyramid scheme and you’re not at the top of it. You may be able to find someone who’s more of a sucker to take the Bitcoin off your hand and make a profit, but it’s not sustainable, someone has to loose. Any gains you make are probably less than 10% what the person made by selling it to you.
If you do end up speculating on crypto, don’t invest more than you can afford to loose, and assume you’ll loose it all. It’s very likely you’ll either get hacked/scammed, loose your wallet, leave your wallet in an online exchange who runs off with your keys, etc. You’re on your own if that happens. If you do end up making any profit, it’ll be a blessing and you’ll be way happier than if you thought this would be your key to get rich, and you end up loosing it all.
Thank you!
Anyone have a non-paywalled link?
Pretty sure all voting security professionals agree that you need a paper trail to verify, in the event of data loss or hacking. Adding an online voting option would be more convenient, but also make it more convenient to foreign interests who want to disrupt the election. The added convenience doesn’t justify the risk.
