Do delivery drivers in NYC really use cars? ๐Ÿคจ

I think I would rather lick Technetium than Lithium

I love the fact that you drew this by hand

That's the thing: if he went by Womble at work then that was his name. The fact that the government called him Raymond doesn't make that his only name, they are both valid.

Fun fact, you can use whatever names you want. All names are made up. Your "legal name" is just what the government calls you, but you can ask other people to call you something else entirely. The same goes with pronouns.

I don't want to trust a website, which is susceptible to typos and lookalikes (see e.g. putty.org) and relies on countless other services that can inject malware.

Code signing was creates for this reason: ensure that the program is authentic and unaltered. Package managers do this perfectly.

You must run curl http://totallylegitwebsite.ru/install | sudo sh, it's the only way to install our product. Don't even look at the several thousand lines of illegible shell script, just pipe it straight to your shell. We are a very serious project.

Many EU countries have their own different laws about this stuff. The GDPR likely does not apply here because of the exception for "purely personal and household activities", article 2(2)(c).

Incomprehensible, I love it

I have no doubt that FIFA bribes everyone, including Trump. It's just in this particular instance that, if it was their intent to bribe Trump with a trophy, they would have created a second one with real gold instead of giving Chelsea a replica. It seems much more likely that Trump just stole it and FIFA didn't raise a stink about it in order to preserve relations.

Why not present that context to users and let us draw our own conclusions?

If it works it works. You mathematicians just don't understand the pragmatics. What is tech debt?

 

The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.

Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I'm sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.
