The film caught fire when I saw Interview With the Vampire in the theatre. It was awesome.

Reddit has always had paid employees, only the mods are/were unpaid.

Are we sure they were humans? Maybe they were ChatGPT 2.

Hey, I wanted to thank you for this exchange. I learned a lot about lemmy.

If it wasn't clear from the article, that's already a thing. They can even set up your software for you. I can see how it would make managing hardware in lots of different places a lot easier.

I really don't see any benefit to it (for users) for home use. It's certainly an easy way to make Windows a subscription service and charge you for storage. It also pretty much wipes out any data privacy on your devices.

From what I can tell the whole point to the css class/formatting was controlling the size of the emojis. Depending on where they came from, I could see some being of random size and shape. Admins might not have the time or know-how to shrink them down, so css seems like a reasonable compromise as long as the files aren't huge.

I'm kind of bothered that the only fix seems to be on the frontend. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to stick with Rust long enough to take a reasonable crack at figuring out how to help on the backend. Input and output sanitization should ideally be handled in both places.

Child painted fingernails are the best. They tend to pick lots of colors!

The best way I've found to manage other people's pronouns is to use my own.

"Hi! I'm tanglisha. My pronouns are she/her."

Practice until it sounds natural. Include your pronouns everywhere that makes sense, I have them in my work email signature and zoom account. The other person will usually reciprocate if you're in person, even if they've never introduced themself that way before. A bonus is that it normalizes this as a way to present oneself. We shouldn't put all of the burden of managing pronouns on the minority who already have a hard time with them.

It's true that this might draw some attention, but the worst I've ever gotten was someone asking me why I refer to my partner as "my partner" when he's of opposite sex. YMMV based on where you are and the folks around you, I'm on the west coast but have coworkers all around the world.

I've been playing Starfinder and Shadowrun lately for RPGs,l. For board games, Terraforming Mars, 7 Wonders, and I'm absolutely terrible at Wingspan but it's so pretty I don't care

One of my old Pathfinder groups is currently talking about converting to 2e. I got all the books with the Humble Bundle a few months ago and have been going through them a bit. One thing I like is that it's a lot more different from Starfinder than 1e is, I have a hard time going back and forth on those two rulesets.

I felt the same way until I took up drawing.

I've used both, and I'll take an iPad over a wakom tablet for drawing any day. Every time I got an os update the tablet would stop working. I couldn't really find a convenient spot for it on my desk. It was huge and made my keyboard awkward to use. Meanwhile, I can carry my iPad around with me and am not tethered to my desk for digital drawing.

I also have terrible vision, it's far easier for me to read (the internet) on an iPad than on my phone.

Yup, it's easy to forget that an important use of Twitter used to be finding out what was happening when propaganda was covering it up. It's how we learned about Arab spring.

If my life were at risk from my government, I certainly wouldn't trust Elon to keep me safe from them.

They made record profits during quarantine, when everyone was stuck at home. Now they have two problems:

  1. Some of those people have cancelled because they're now busy.
  2. They're expected by shareholders to continue that kind of profit increase forever.

They don't actually care any more than they ever did, this is just an easy way to get money out of accounts they see as less likely to cancel because many people are using the same account.

Sure we do. That apparently has nothing to do with what the parties decide to do.
