I’m not surprised. StackOverflow has moderated itself out of relevance. Ask a question and get flamed. DDG a question plus “stackoverflow” and get something that may well have been correct and useful in 2012 but tech moves on and it’s now archaic trivia, somewhat akin to facts about punched cards. “Help me StackOverflow, you’re my only hope” hasn’t been true for quite some time now.

Motherland, surely? -a is a feminine ending.

Methinks the meth dealer doth protest too much.

Is that a really big fork or a really small cat?

The uBlacklist extension brings it back

I dismissed one today with fuckoff@wanker.com. Then I found step 2 was a paywall. I really fucking hate those popups that ask for an email without telling you there’s a paywall next, sometimes there’s something I think I want next but the paywall tells me I don’t, but then they’ve already got my email even though I haven’t signed up.

***** ****!

Mugshot.

Just like they already do in other Muslim-majority countries.

Easy really. The shop has one parking space which is occupied by their delivery driver. The next nearest parking space is half a mile away through a dark alley and you have to pay, but it takes so long to pay that you get fined. The shop itself is freezing because the door doesn’t shut properly. It’s also a ten mile drive away, down wide fast roads, or at least roads that would be fast if they weren’t infested by ridiculously low average speed cameras which mean you have to crawl all the way there and back or risk getting fined again. Then when you get home you discover you’ve been fined for the last time you parked somewhere and overstayed by a whole nanosecond.

That’s how it is in the UK anyway. And politicians wonder why town centres are dying.

I think beginners would find it a lot easier if “it’s like email” was closer to the start. But as it is you have to dig a bit before you get that particular bit of insight.

Where do you sign up? Wherever suits you. Posteo, Mailbox, Tuta etc; there are plenty of others. You aren’t limited to emailing those on your server, you can email anyone anywhere. You don’t need an account on all email servers to email people on those servers. It’s the same with Lemmy. You’re on beehaw.org, I’m on lemm.ee, and the next post down (on my screen) is on lemmy.ca.

What if you’re on Posteo but all your friends are on Mailbox? Well you can switch to Mailbox if you want but it’s not necessary. You can still email each other.

Defederation: if for example everyone on scammersunited.com is a scammer, the admins of your email server might decide to block email from that instance by default. Federation’s just a fancy word for people on Tuta to be able to email people on Runbox.

The moment you realise you can feel the super hot mexican spicy chilli through your butt.

f’‘(x) is 78x+22 but the question asks what number is f’'(x) + x, hence 79x+22.

“To change all cookie settings click_here” <-- this is the bit you want. It’s free to reject all the cookies yourself.

I had a Sony phone once. It was shite. Couldn’t remember the date and time on a reboot.

It was crap in other ways too but that was the one that annoyed me the most. Obviously the majority of the price went on the name and not the phone. Shame really, Sony used to be a name that meant quality, now they’re just another bunch of MBA-led enshittifiers.

Well everybody likes to think they’re original.

(I did check the comments before I posted this and am vaguely disappointed that I am.)

OK so next time you’ve done your work for the day, try going home early. Do let us know how it goes.

You aren’t paid by the hour as long as it suits the company. As soon as it suits you, you’re damn well going to sit there until 5pm staring at the ceiling if you have to, THEN you can go home.

Which countries have been successful in implementing your preferred alternative?
