You just made me remember The Coma Machine.

One day I’ll figure out the meaning of the song. Real banger, but still don’t have a full picture. One day.

Wrong sub, this article is about The Onion

I’m not sure that it can be clearly delineated as a time loop or a causality loop, it’s honestly a mix of both - though you’d probably call it a causality loop, as each “instance of a person” only experiences the loop once.

Well yes, you didn’t get first ads. But what about second ads?

What about stories about time travel that ultimately form a closed loop? There’s one that has people moving forwards and backwards through time, yet forms a closed loop at the end: >!Dark!<

You’re asking the wrong questions. Did they measure from heel to big toe? Or did they use the foot of one of those “second toe is longest” freaks?

Why does she look like an 80s B-movie alien wearing a human mask?

Absolutely, I’m still regularly shocked how normalized those words have become. They are absolutely accurate from a corporate perspective, but why are we all using those same words? They reduce any creative endeavors to the positive effect on the extraction of wealth by the rich through influencing others into buying shit they don’t need or want. “Influencer” should be a pejorative, not a job title!

Man, your dad must have had you early, two children before 9…

Imagine you can set a theme of your choice like “Star Trek technobabble” for little explanations for the delay.

“Delay due to chirality recalibration of phase discriminating amplifier for positronic brain…”

Might literally be one of the best use cases I’ve seen so far!

Well if it were closed source, it would be harder to repackage proprietary apps because you would not know how the snap “root filesystem” translates to $DISTRO root filesystem.

Only if all the other tools (like Snapcraft) were also made closed-source and obfuscated, but that’s besides the point. What if, for example, Snaps start costing money, and you can’t legally turn them into Flatpaks and distribute them? What if the only legal way to get some software for Linux will be the official Snap repository? This approach will make for a far worse user experience than simply using the already working, already open-source and non-enshittifiable alternative.

Because some apps are only packaged as snaps so if you want them to be accessible to users, you have to install snapd. Flatpak can still be the default which on non-Canonical distros already is. Which why I don’t even worry about snap becoming the standard.

And by promoting Snap to the same status as Flatpaks on other distributions, you’re opening the gates for enshittification and a worse user experience tomorrow. Again, why support it as an equal option if we all know the price?

Don’t forget that macOS literally contacts Apple server for every binary you execute. When there was an issue with those servers, only Apple software was launchable.

I’m aware, it was mostly a joke about these “features” making Notepad worse. Nevertheless, thank you :)

I could come on your stupidly expensive car, if you want

Like when it’s shipped to you, I could lay on there all sexy

and come

It was unprompted, though technically you could describe it as “under duress”, your honor.

Actually my cousin’s friend Jeremy gave me a one-time pass as long as I don’t tell his mom he threw rocks into Ms. Jones’s garden, but aside from that I agree.

IIUC USB-C puts less mechanical stress on the port and more on the cable connector, so instead of the port breaking the cable should break.

Circular connectors wouldn’t be backwards-compatible either, and would be much harder to manufacture at the size of USB-C. I actually can’t think of circular connectors with more than 2 data channels that can be plugged in in any rotation - do you have an example? All the ones I can think of (PS/2, XLR) have a set orientation.

More like Notepad–, amirite

Fuck I just got that, nice!
