Might have to consider some Oscar generic awards ceremony worthy credits before long, mind you, finding the name of the obstetrician who birthed me is going to be a challenge.

I also noticed a distinct lack of family genealogy in your signature, if it wasn’t for our primordial ooze ancestors, neither of us would be here today.

This is going to require “some” research.

Hmm … I wonder if embedded YouTube iframes work … purely for bandwidth testing purposes of course.

I just discovered another missing attribute from my signature:

Hi mom!

So … adding a pronoun to every single email on the planet kills one person?

Can we nominate that person … there’s a few that come to mind.

On a more serious note, the article is crapping on about pronouns and land acknowledgements as if they’re what’s killing people.

Here’s a thought, what about AI, or what about the biggest carbon emitting companies, 57 account for 80% of emissions?

This article is nothing to do with killing people, it’s everything to do with killing pronouns and eliminating land acknowledgements.

Ooh … there’s going to be a lot of fun had with this… I wonder if you can use blink tags and animated gifs … strictly for educational purposes … I’ll be right back …

Block and Report … it’s similar to Like and Subscribe … but different.

This sounds interesting. Can you change hostnames as well, like say www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com?

Strictly for research purposes … right?

You’ve been on the Fediverse less than a day and THAT’S your contribution to the global discourse?

Export to HTML, use pandoc (or sed/awk) to convert to markdown.

Yeah, Voyager here too. The indicator helps evaluate if I care enough to respond. As for Eternal September, it was a doozy and the road was pretty rough.

That said, I’m still here, so there’s that 😇

This reference may or may not be before your time … forgive me, I’ve seen this before.

Think of it as “Eternal September” and you’ll be able to take it in your stride … brace yourself, this is going to happen more and more, at least for a while.

I didn’t say that it was a valid KPI 😇

I think that this is the result of a KPI.

At some point there was a fight inside Google between engineering and marketing about how to proceed with product development. Engineers wanted a better product, marketing wanted more eyeballs.

As a result, search became about “engagement”, or “Moar clicks is betterer”.

Seen in this light, your triggering of the assistant four times increased your use and thus your engagement. An engineer would point out that this is not a valid metric, but Google is now run by the marketing and accounting departments, not by engineers.

Another aspect that I only recently became aware of is that in order to get promoted, you need to make a global impact. This is why shit is changing for no particular reason or benefit and has been for a decade or so.

Well, unless you’re talking about a different transponder, the Marine Traffic sites all show that the oil tanker that was hit was at anchor and her location is still being reported live by the transponder onboard.

I also am fairly sure that there are heavy fines for turning it off, but I’m not a mariner and don’t pretend to be one on the internet.

Wonderful idea. Love that you’ve figured out how to pay for it right off the bat.

Several suggestions:

• Add Australia as a country
• Add System76 as a supplier
• Add Operating System as a filter
• Add a way to highlight differences
• Add a way to export the data into a spreadsheet

Skirting the edge of self hosting, I was faced with this question last month. I ended up with a Ubiquity UCG Ultra. It has all the network management tools on-board and for the first time in a long time I can manage my network from anywhere on the planet.

Access can be via a web UI, or an app.

I wonder if there’s other “offensive” terms we can find to highlight the absurdity and offensive nature of this action.

Teddy is the name of lingerie, so Teddy Roosevelt needs to be wiped out of history.

I’m sure there’s others …

There’s going to be a perfectly reasonable explanation for this … right?

Well, that’s “fun” … not.

I specifically backed this up within Google Maps to ensure that I kept this information.

What does the fix look like?

Code scanners? Hackathons? Code review by new hires? Education? Methodology?
