I would love to know how much of a roll that meme played in her choice of degree. Like, in the parallel universe where everything is identical up to this fire, but this picture wasn’t taken (ie, the camera didn’t work or something), did she still choose that degree?

I mean, OP provided a source link.

aren’t not dependent on each other

So, they are dependent on each other.

In the third paragraph you mentioned “tux” but I’m guessing that you meant “tmux”. Just a clarification for readers not familiar with it and want to look it up.

I don’t understand.

“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said.

So someone can just make your iphone inaccessible for a decade and you can’t override it or log in, even if you have the passcode?

On the Apple Support community, one user reported their iPhone had been locked for 50 years. Similarly, a post on 9to5Mac’s forum mentioned an iPhone disabled for “23614974 minutes”—about 45 years.

I’m sorry, what? I guess I’ll just add this to my list of reasons I’m glad I use Android. JFC.

True story, about 20-25 years ago, a radio station in my home town was playing ads for some new local business doing web design.

After hearing the ad on my drive to work for the umpteen billionth time I finally got curious and went to check out their own website (I they’re charging people to build websites, they’re own website must be a pretty awesome demonstration of their skills, right?)

The website looked like absolute garbage and, upon viewing the source, the meta tags clearly betrayed the fact that it was created in Word.

I can only imagine how much money they were paying to run those ads. I even considered the possibility I was being pranked somehow.

This would make an excellent short film. The fire axes scene would be epic.

In this narrow case, it’s considered proper/correct to pronounce the “x” like an “sh”, which greatly improves the tongue rolling.

… or xitter.

I don’t think any of those people are being relocated to Texas.

I hate to say it, but I’m inclined to think that the Russian government may simply block access to Firefox (and the Firefox addons site).

Probably true, but that’s not justification for Mozilla to save them the trouble by doing it for them.

Link is to the second page of the article. I thought it was odd how it kept saying “Smith said” without identifying who Smith is.

How would they know now? It’s the same answer. Stop being a dick.

ETH abandoned the trustless part. Now you’re supposed to trust the validators. Clearly, you can’t.

At the moment, it’s unknown if there was ever a real-world person behind this username or if Jia Tan is a completely fabricated individual.

Well, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a platypus. There was definitely one or more real-world people behind this. I doubt anyone thinks that their name is actually Jia Tan, though.

r/whoosh 😉

I often say, “Free Speech doesn’t mean other people are required to provide you with a soap box and megaphone.”

Server admins are just people, generously running a server, for you. This costs them time and money to do. If they don’t want their server amplifying the content from some other server that they see as problematic, they absolutely should have that option.
