“oldies” these days are Avril Lavigne, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Gorillaz. Or as I like to call them: music from the early century.

Oh I trust my code, but I don’t trust my coworkers not to break something on the very next commit.

Last presidential election here in Brazil there were some some traffic light salesman selling towels with the presidential candidates. And they walked around with a score board showing which one had sold more. And they sold a lot more because people didn’t want to see their beloved candidate on the losing side.

ClickUp is A LOT worse than Jira.

What would you consider to be a “physical”?

The comparison about countries is hard to understand because I’m not sure of what constitutes as one or another.

Where I live I can walk in on a public hospital and see a doctor within two hours if I don’t have any risk that would give me priority. Then if the doctor asks for an exam or x-ray or something, it might be done shortly after on the same hospital if there’s some time concern, or they may just request you to do the exam and then you can go after it yourself. In this case getting it for free can take quite some time, so there’s several private clinics that people go to only for exams - they can sometimes do it within one or two days, other times it takes longer.

However if you need surgery or something more advanced, you may end up dying on a waiting list if the doctors don’t properly detect how much of a risk you’re at. I don’t have any personal experience with this part of the Healthcare system though so I’m only saying this based on stories I’ve heard and from some news coverage I’ve seen in the past.

I’d assume in his case the government already has enough eyes over him that if he were to actually try something they would know it before he even considered sending any threats.

Well some of Putin’s friends helped pay for Twitter so there is some level of connection in there.

I wish I too could know if I’ve ever been probed by the secret service or some other government agency. I’ve made some risky jokes on reddit before.

Just never saw the need for it.

It only got to $3M because the fine increased daily. It started at zero and all he needed to do was follow the court’s orders to suspend accounts from users that were breaking the law.

Getting hard to find it now with so many other news about the whole thing, but I found this one that kinda brushes over it: https://agendadopoder.com.br/x-demite-funcionarios-do-brasil-e-nao-paga-fgts-alegando-bloqueio-de-contas-da-starlink/

About the claims that X and Starlink are separate entities and one shouldn’t be affected by the other: it has since been revealed that it was Starlink who paid the salaries of X’s employees.

And Hot Tub Time Machine was titled The Hangover

I use Vivaldi as well but every time I update it I need to change one of it’s internal JS files to remove one UI restriction that annoys me: I use two vertical tab bars, one for showing all the tab groups and another for showing the tabs inside the selected group. For some reason Vivaldi limits the width of the two sidebar (combined) to 330px, which is too small for my tastes.

Nvm

I mean, if someone creates a game with all the options there and you just use AI as a replacement for a complex UI, it could kinda work. A game like scribblenauts could theorically implement an AI based stage creation option with the current tech already. The problem with that is that the AI wouldn’t be able to guarantee that the stage has a proper challenge level (or even that is possible to complete it), so it would also need to implement an AI that tries to beat the level as well and then keep iterating over the two until a proper stage is found.

In short: doable, for very niche cases and probably taking a very long time to complete a prompt (possibly hours).

Round things with antennas

You can create files with the same name differing only by case through WSL. I’ve had issues with it before.

Sometimes a term loses its intended meaning when it is misused enough. I myself have been accused of cultural appropriation before for creating a character of another culture in a video-game I was developing. Any time I see anyone being accused of it on the internet is also something similar.

I agree that actual cultural appropriation is bad, but the term has been misused so much that it is more often associated with simply consuming cultures that you’ve not inherited.

Brazil actually merged the freed slaves into society because people at the time thought that over several generations, everybody would end up being white again. In a different way they were also trying to suppress them.

As for the indigenous population, before Portugal arrived here there was one large tribe already dominating all the others. The Portuguese then negotiated with that large tribe and that one tribe’s culture managed to survive, but the colonizers also had no respect for it or any of the others and grouped them all together as if being the same thing. The other cultures ended up being either absorbed or erased by that larger tribe.
