Ah good. Now I know what specs not to buy.

“Password cannot contain username”

“Password must contain digits”

“Password cannot contain reversed misspellings of predynastic Egyptian pharaohs”

And now…

“Password cannot contain JavaScript”

One thing about the pre-Internet times I don’t hear much about is how much more centralised our media were and how, as a result, people or ideas on the fringe of society didn’t get much attention. That includes for instance how the strange ideas about vaccines or ethnic groups now spread much easier than they did before the Internet, but also how trans* people and other marginalised groups find it much easier to find and support each other and be a united front against oppression.

In summary, I don’t thing that what has been termed “the great awokening”, nor the organised opposition against it, could have taken place before the Internet. At least not at this scale.

Sadly Microsoft didn’t specify where on the keyboard the key has to be.

The tweet wasn’t easily available on nitter (it wasn’t being highlighted).

Exactly. The good kind of failure.

Hyperloop was always a project to sabotage high-speed rail. Good thing it failed.

I have a dad joke, but it’s yo momma.

weekend = day_of_week in (“sat”, “sun”)

As a bonus this completely sidesteps the issue of what day is 0 or 1.

I have an M1 Pro MacBook Pro and really like the fact that I can just plug in an HDMI cable without resorting to dongles. I don’t notice the extra weight. If you already know that you’re going to connect multiple monitors I’d say go for the M1 Pro.

Easy way to save on power.

Yeah, hobbit-serial architectures lack performance.

So the Fellowship of the Ring was made up of an elf, a dwarf, two humans, a maia and one hobnibble?

This is your brain on don’t.
