Well, they can't fully outsource thinking to the autocomplete if they get asked whether some actions are okay.

NEW ZITRON DROPPED

That time when Zitron himself admits that the post is long 💀

The reader mode in Firefox shows completely different version of the article, weird. I never understood how that feature works, is there some node that contains the site supplied version of text for that mode?

And it's shit

My decision to setup Jellyfin gets even more validation thanks to changes like this one.

Oh, I only knew of some of it, thanks

Any idea why the flag reassembles the Swiss one (the proportions are wrong though)?

Can we get this thread pinned? I guess that this thread will keep on giving 🍿

As someone living in Switzerland for over 6 years, the labor laws aren't exactly like in the rest of Europe and people are sometimes a bit too much on the freedumb side of things. Also weird german or (possibly less weird, I don't speak it) french and high cost of living.

Then again, it's not anywhere as bad as what's happening in the us

The lesswrong-tier post lengths aren't helping to get all the way through them

Yeah, I agree. I think that this argument that is made there is a false. The logic error imo is claiming this statement is true: things get cheaper as they get used more, therefore if we make it used more, it will get cheaper.

Second observation is that when a thing gets cheaper it's used more, i.e. they'll be pushing even harded to shove it into everything.

Are they trying to imply that when they will make it cheaper by shoving it everywhere? I honestly can't see how that logic is holding together

Translation:

• it’s just a Hindu symbol of prosperity
• a normal Roman salute
• regular rail car
• wait a second

I'm surprised that alphabetical lists are included. Maybe my brain has completely rotten, but keeping the data sorted is pretty neat for efficient processing

I'm sure her surveys are immune to sampling bias and therefore perfectly represent the general population. /s

Yet still exploiting it on 64-bit systems is impractical
