They’ll come out soon and say this is an accident. And nobody will believe them. But nobody will change their behaviour anyway.

Oh neat. Yeah I think I’ve seen content from it, but I always interpreted it as just a video host, like Gfycat was, or how catbox is sometimes used.

Will op see your comment, if your instance is blocked?

What is loops? That video hosting site I sometimes see linked on Lemmy?

I have people asking if it’s a site for fans of crumbly cheese.

the edit worked

there’s also, if you’re interested, a second part of the puzzle that I edited into the above. It’s not a riddle though so feel free to ignore.

Yeah that’s the old Reddit syntax. Some former Reddit apps haven’t updated to support the syntax specified for use on Lemmy. I would recommend contacting your app’s devs and asking them to support Lemmy’s syntax.

You gotta do ::: spoiler [spoiler description] on the first line (most of the time, that means ::: spoiler Spoilers or similar.

She comes sometimes at need,
But never at your heed.
To meet with her is jolly,
To push her would be folly.

Who is she?

edit: for bonus points, I first came across this with a second step in the puzzle. Not a riddle, but a different kind of puzzle. Solve this:

Though that’s not the same text I had the first time (it was in a D&D game and the text was related to that), the same technique would need to be applied to read the above text. The riddle’s solution is relevant.

Not funny, a deliberate decision by the legislature in order to safeguard it from whoever was going to win the election (since it was set before the election).

Tildeverse?

Yup, this is exactly it. There are very few software systems whose failure does not impact people. Sure, it’s rare for it to kill them, but they cause people to lose large amounts of money, valuable time, or sensitive information. That money loss is always, ultimately, paid by end consumers. Even in B2B software, there are human customers of the company that bought/uses the software.

I actually would go further and say that collectively, we are terrible at what we do. Not every individual, but the combination of individuals, teams, management, and business requirements mean that collectively we produce terrible results. If bridges failed at anywhere near the rate that software does, processes would be changed to fix the problem. But bugs, glitches, vulnerabilities etc. are rife in the software industry. And it just gets accepted as normal.

It is possible to do better. We know this, from things like the stuff that sent us to the moon. But we’ve collectively decided not to do better.

Because it compares people with down syndrome to chimpanzees, and because it took a good faith serious discussion and made a mockery of it.

Oh, so you were just being a dick for the sake of being a dick? That’s worse bro.

Are you really this fucking thick? There’s more to genetic compatibility than chromosome count. Otherwise we’d be seeing human–Reeves’s muntjac hybrids. Or chimp-gorilla.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s how chromosomes work

Umm, I don’t think that’s how it works.

Yeah fertile offspring is almost entirely off the table here from what I can see.
