The inclusion of Pimpley is what gives away that is satire.

The best thing that can happen to avocado is to be turned into guacamole. I’m like you when it comes to avocado, could take it or leave it, but I go nuts for guac.

Agreed. That’s why I always order something cool like gnocchi when I go to an Italian restaurant. It’s much harder to make that well at home.

Wait… I thought the significantly higher than average percentage of Aboriginal people in Moree would cause the population to be less racist in general. Your experience implies that is not the case.

Clearly OP has never used PC-DOS, MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11, MacOS, OSX, or AmigaOS, all of which do not come with a C compiler installed out of the box. Even Ubuntu does not have gcc or build headers installed in a default install (must install build-essentials package first).

Well, it uses AI to insert extra frames in between the real frames. So it doesn’t just look like AI content, it is AI content, spliced between every frame of your anime.

Yen?

This is nothing new. I worked at a small computer shop in a small town between 2005-2007. The owner treated memory as a commodity. He checked national ram module prices daily. Buying low, and selling high. He sometimes adjusted the module price on a per-customer basis.

I get that it’s much harder to do that with online stores, where prices are published to multiple places, and for chain stores where the price needs to be consistent between locations.

Scrubs and Stargate SG1 are my cozy shows.

Search for “low-code app frameworks”, there are a whole bunch, they fill the same niche now that Access once did (though these tend to be cloud based, not local sqlite). Baserow is a great open-source example.

Bro, I think they were definitely gonna steal your kidneys! Good job weasling out of it, bullet dodged!

Yes. I can request a phone from work to use, but that’s lots of work, business justification, need to submit monthly expense reports for calls, and report data usage. Plus I’d need then to carry around two phones. There are lots of people at my work who do that. I don’t want the hastle.

I think the user is referring to the fact that MS Intune is famously very cautious about verifying the device it is running on.

Many people need to use Intune on their device, to get access to work apps (eg, Teams and Outlook). If you have a rooted device, or run a non-stock OS, then Intune will fail the validation and prevent you from signing into your work accounts.

This is the reason I don’t currently use a rooted or alternative android on my primary smartphone.

I know that’s a little bit gross, but it would be way worse if your bones were dry.

Exploiting the generosity of the tooth fairy beyond normal limits.

Nice. Meanwhile at the place I work, they have mandated 15+ character passphrases that must have a capital letter and a symbol, that must be changed every 6 weeks, but banned the use of password managers. They also block yubikey and similar hardware tokens from corporate devices at the USB driver level, because “to stop the hackers!”. The only 2nd factor auth they allow is Microsoft Authenticator, and Windows Hello. At least it’s something I suppose.

My current workplace only allows whitelisted applications to run, and you must install them via the company portal. At my old workplace I used Linux with Kde Plasma, and Meld. New workplace has windows 11 only, and I was trying to find a replacement for Meld. When I started here, I noticed Beyond Compare is on the list. I’d heard of it before, but never used it. I installed it and it’s great! So happy that’s the one diffing tool they allow.

I’m from Australia. When I was a kid my mum used to call those inflatable baseball bats and inflatable hammers “tommy knockers”, and weirdly my dad called big boobs “tommy knockers”. I’m sure that and bomby knocker and dongy knocker are all derived from the same root colloquialism.

For those who don’t know the history, Servo was the very first Rust project to ever exist.

Back in 2012, Mozilla knew that their Gecko web engine was already getting old and unmaintainable. One of the engineers in their R&D department Mozilla Research was quietly working on a new programming language, so they adopted that to start work on their new browser engine, Servo.

Rust v1.0 was released to the public in 2015, and was much more popular than the new browser engine it was used to create. Mozilla Research eventually gave up the idea of a new browser engine, but they did merge some of the Servo features into Gecko. Mozilla Research was shut down in 2020, and the Servo project was taken over by the Linux Foundation.

Oh that takes me back. MUDs are still a thing?
