You don’t like being fooled? I find it quite fun for the most part. Some real creativity on display.

I’d like to say this link is the only times I’ve been had today, but I keep forgetting what day it is 🙉

Haha me too

That’s a good practice. Seems obvious now that you’ve mentioned it, actually, but I don’t think I’ve ever done it. Except maybe incidentally when building an i18n table.

“LGTM”

This is why you manually check and confirm each replacement, as tedious as it is. 😔

I didn’t realise they’d been around so long. An programmer mentioned the website on one of my podcasts as being a good example of learning from others’ mistakes.

The RSS feed is very good, too. You get everything you need just from the description.

Wow that was a frustrating read. I dd not know it was quite that bad. Just to highlight one quote

they don’t just crawl a page once and then move on. Oh, no, they come back every 6 hours because lol why not. They also don’t give a single flying fuck about robots.txt, because why should they. […] If you try to rate-limit them, they’ll just switch to other IPs all the time. If you try to block them by User Agent string, they’ll just switch to a non-bot UA string (no, really). This is literally a DDoS on the entire internet.

I guess that’s how I started out too. Then someone left an Ubuntu CD just laying around and changed my life.

It’s still wild to me how many people put up with windows

Once you get used to it it is kind of fun.

Shame about do though.

This makes sense, but I always feel “tricked” if I don’t notice I’m reading or looking at generated stuff until after a tic.

I think plagiarism fits. Producing someone (or many someones) work as an original.

Somehow I’ve drifted back to Ubuntu because of work. It’s useful being on the same os as everyone else when troubleshooting, but I hate how I have to “fix” it on every fresh install, it just put up with broken snaps and constantly crashing security updates.

Honestly Arch was less work than this.

Is Ubuntu the new Windows?

Same. I’m addicted. I literally have 5 strewn about me right now.

I use a brand called “decomposition” books, I guess because they’re made with recycled paper.

It’s a good joke

Rock on! Look at us, contributing to the tools we use

That’s what I love so much about open source. Currently have a fork of kiTTY going, working on tracking down a little bug I found in my daily use.
