No Linux From Scratch? Absolutely worthless.

But they use lava lamps as a RNG! (oblig Tom Scott)

In the words of Paul Simon - when it decides to call you Betty.

Oh no!

Anway…

The irony for me is that my cake day is July 4.

That’s assuming there’s a shred of humanity in either of them.

Sounds like the intelligence equivalent of grey goo.

A Red Bull Formula 1 team themed Minecraft server?

(Christian Horner is the team principal for Red Bull Racing. And is also married to Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell).

r/formula1 is reopening as NSFW to “comply to the fullest extent of our abilities with these changes”:

Formula 1 is inherently dangerous. Crashes and injuries are not uncommon - some even with fatal results. These incidents are discussed on r/formula1, and videos, images and other media are posted following these events.

Formula 1 includes messaging and sponsors that are connected to alcohol, tobacco and gambling - all of which are legislatively prohibited or age restricted in various locations. We cannot prevent these from being displayed to underaged users, as they are incorporated in general Formula 1 imagery and content.

Formula 1 is known for, both in the past and today, to include certain risque imagery that fall within the NSFW space.

Reddit’s User Agreement states that “Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to create an Account or otherwise use the Services.” - As such it stands to reason that persons under legal age participate in r/formula1.

Switching our classification means Reddit’s age verification shields underage users from being exposed to content considered harmful.

On our breakfast TV during the news segment they touch on international markets, e.g. “the DOW is xyz”. They also have a slide on crypto and as well as listing Bitcoin and Etherium (or whatever it’s called), I still can’t believe they seriously show Dogecoin.

An office they didn’t even inhabit. Read the crazy story from someone who was there: https://mastodon.social/@rodhilton/110561579833908574

tl;dr: Twitter had plans to build out a massive office to consolidate all the small crappy offices they had in Boulder, CO. Pandemic came along. Jack Dorsey says everyone WFH permanently. Nobody thought to cancel the build. Build complete. Grand Opening (but don’t show the hundreds of empty desks). Elon acquisition. Payments not made. Court-ordered eviction of new office building that wasn’t occupied.

I’m still bitter about bloglines shutting down. I tried thisoldreader and inoreader but it never felt the same. Then I found reddit.

If you use Power Delete Suite there is the option to download your comments before editing (or just download). However it’s not great if you’ve got years of comments. If you click the download button it caps out at about 65k. But if you inspect the button the full export is available in the href so you can copy that into notepad. However the formatting is not great (CSV unfriendly characters are escaped), so it’s a bit of a clean up.

There is the alternative of requesting all your data from Reddit itself. A preview I saw from someone else shows a more extensive dataset than you get from PDS. I’m still waiting on my data request (it’s only been a day and it can take up 30 days).
