Clbuttic mistake to make

Nah, for Elon to get someone pregnant, it has to be done through IVF to make sure the child is male, because he’s a sexist too

Broken clocks are right twice a day and all that. When you say as much utter shit as Trump does, just by sheer chance, some of it might sound somewhat reasonable occasionally.

My guess would be something to do with intermediary application systems used by multiple companies tracking who applies where. Who knows what they’re doing with that data

Wish I could opt out of having LinkedIn entirely. It makes me so annoyed that so many jobs require you to have it in order to apply

I mean they kinda are, just in a different way. Russia claims that all Ukrainians are actually Russian and they don’t deserve their own sovereignty. They essentially want to commit a cultural genocide of Ukraine and any Ukrainians that refuse to relinquish their culture or identity as Ukrainian.

I’m no expert though, so I’d appreciate if someone with more in-depth knowledge could expand on this a bit.

It might be too late for you, but for anyone else who stumbles across this:

The easiest way to transfer emails is just log into a client like Thunderbird, let it download them all, select all, then drag and drop them all to your new provider. If you have a lot of historic emails, filter by year and do one year at a time

• Continually increasing subscription prices
• Ripping off artists
• Introducing AI bullshit
• Blocking explicit songs unless users verify their age with a third party

Do you know who wrote the buggy code?

Of course I know him. He’s me

Pretty sure Wikipedia has a single button that changes all present tense to past sense. Someone who’s more familiar with it correct me if I’m wrong though.

I scrobble all my navidrome activity to listenbrainz, which gives a weekly playlist of recommendations. You might have to wait a few weeks before it can establish your tastes depending on how much music you play.

I’ve just switched my OnePlus 8T over to LineageOS without GApps and it’s very useable, the only thing missing for me is contactless payments.

I saw the thumbnail in the preview and my brain immediately started singing

If all else fails, try making a GDPR download request. They must legally provide you with a copy of all data they have about you, including your uploaded photos.

In Luigi’s Mansion 2, there is a boo who speaks in binary called Boolean… At least, in the British release. In the US localisation, its name is “Combooter” which is a far less satisfying pun.

VRChat for fans of anime girl streamers

Data centers use massive amounts of power. Reducing that power consumption would be a net positive on the environment.

That said, looking at the site, I can’t see anything that suggests they’ve done any research into that.
