Someone shared a comic I liked, but I noticed that somewhere in the chain, the artists name had been removed, so that stopped me. Reverse image searching proved surprisingly frustrating and involved diving into the cesspit of LinkedIn, but I eventually identified the artist as Irina Blok, but I can't link to the original image because its in Instagram jail, so here's her site.
That was a pain in the ass. Please don't trim credits. It's an asshole move.
Actual exchange that happened during my first marriage:
Brother In Law: [tells a racist "joke"]
Me: not cool. you won't say racist shit around me.
BIL: or what?
Me: or I won't be around you.
BIL: it wasn't even racist
Me: yes it was. you won't do it around me.
BIL: whatever. (under breath) bitch.
Later, at Thanksgiving dinner:
BIL: [tells a second racist "joke" at the dinner table]
Me: [gets up and gets my keys and prepares to leave]
Mother in Law: where's she going??
Husband: I don't know. Lana, where are you going?
Me: I'm leaving.
MIL: why??
Me: ask your son.
Then I left. Later that evening I got an apology from BIL, and a promise to not say racist shit, at least around me. He tested it a second time, at a different family get together. I got up and started for my car. I got an immediate apology from him for his behavior.
Look, it's not a lot. But it's a start. Stick to your guns, folks, particularly around the holidays. Hold them accountable for their racist words and actions. Deplatforming racists works.
user-initiated post migration is something that certain instances support (some of the *keys), and I look forward to seeing it on more instances. data exports also exist but data imports don’t seem common.

For ME, good software should be SO good and hardened that I do NOT need frequent updates, but only in extremely exceptional cases!
Further developments, on the other hand, do not need to be handed over to ME on a monthly basis.
🧐
And yes I know there are LTS versions. In my eyes this should be the normal update cycle and there could even be a "VeryLTS" additionally.

Lors de ma dernière insomnie, hier donc, j’ai découvert « Everything Everywhere All at Once » et j’ai réalisé que si j’avais des amis, on m’aurait déjà parlé de ce film tellement c’est le meilleur film d’action + science-fiction + comédie + familial qui soit. (Un créneau jusque-là réservé à Dead Pool, donc.)
Il est dispo en replay sur FranceTV, VO et VF. Je recommande vivement.
I did that with paperbacks because there was no digital proof. That Amazon lock them behind DRM should be the criminal thing!
And not just China, I like to watch people reading Reddit stories on YT when doing chores, and "redrum" (murder), "grape" (rape) and "spicy time" (sex) are words these people have to use to avoid drawing the ire of the allmighty algorithms.
For now that's just "simple" keyword and voice / face recognition. As tech progresses and models get smaller, it'll become a lot more pernicious.
I think a "no more discussions of copyright infringement and vaccine conspiracy theories on the internet" law (that actually works) is something we will get in the next 20-ish years in at least one major country.
Spent this morning in court in support of folks being evicted from a local "co-op". The management company's agent was so disorganized she didn't know how much one of the tenants owed, slashing the amount in half right at the bench when she realized the numbers she was given didn't add up. She also, apparently, accidentally dismissed one of her own evictions and was surprised to learn that it wasn't on the docket. Management dismissed something like 6 of the 9 cases when they apparently realized their evidence wouldn't hold up, and this one case got caught up in that wave, presumably by accident/incompetence.
The whole thing is fucking awful, and the ways co-ops fail marginalized folks again and again while patting themselves on the backs need to be addressed.
Meanwhile, the case before those was a crypto bro who couldn't pay his rent because his company's investment in a mining operation fell through, and he wanted to pay rent in equity/work for his apartment complex as a "financial engineer," putting their assets on the blockchain.
I'm thinking a lot more seriously about a career change after this. The world is burning. It doesn't need more big tech in it.
🏠 Stěhování je vždy těžké a postihlo to také web infoek.cz.
🔄V současné době dochází k přesunu na nový server. Několik hodin nebudou publikovány nové příspěvky, web bude zcela nedostupný, bude docházet k problémům s načítáním obrázků a mohou nastat i další potíže....
🚀Brzy bude infoek.cz mít nový domov, aby mohl nadále růst.
Děkuji za pochopení,

Tbh I hate everything about this and it makes me want to run far, far away from AP and never look back:
ATP or just doing a ground-up version of my own protocol becomes more and more tempting by the day. Which leaves me sad, but here we are.

@alecaddd Just watched your awesome Customizable Shortcuts video series. Where do you intend for the shortcuts editor window to be? In the general preferences/settings tab?
Also, if you ever implement a HUD, then please make `?` the shortcut to bring that up. Youtube has a good implementation that you can refer. (Press ? while watching a video)
Yes, I'm aiming at implementing a HUD and using the `?` key to trigger it
