Is it that relevant in this day and age? I was taught you put £ (or whatever currency you’re using) first when you’re writing so Johnny Fraudster can’t turn your 100£ into 1100£.

That all feels a bit immaterial on the web.

I’ll be honest Americentrism annoys me too, but we can hardly complain when we’re on lemmy.world of all places.

America is the largest Anglophone country so you can’t really complain about them being numerous on an international English-speaking audience, not exactly their fault they did a lot of baby booming in the late '40s.

Same in a lot of the UK, it straight up does not snow in the winter where it used to in the place I grew up. I live in Wales now and it’s scary seeing such a wet country so dried out, it’s not natural.

I think being the only browser with a credible stance on ad blockers will help them in the long run.

If you like anchovies, try Colatura di Alici if you can get hold of it. It’s a direct descendant of Roman garum and is like a magic button for improving a lot of dishes.

God damn them all, I was told

We’d cruise the seas for crypto gold

Exploit no box, nor engineer

Now I’m an old black hat and in rent arrears

The last of Donald’s privateers

hotter and more humid than Satan’s asshole

Genuinely the UK at the moment, which is not a sentence I thought I’d say but well into our fifth heatwave I’m praying for rain in Wales of all places.

Fuck climate change.

There’s hating technology in general and then there’s hating the US West Coast tech scene specifically in my opinion.

I have a neurological vision disorder which I suspect augmented reality glasses would help a lot, but sod letting Meta see my life from a first-person perspective 24/7, or the lives of anyone around me for that matter. Also I suspect a genuine medical device would have to be made very obvious, you don’t want accessibility tech being mistaken for pervert tech. I wouldn’t take the risk frankly! It’s like if I’m talking to someone and they have a hearing aid in that’s fine, but if they’ve got headphones in I’m going to feel a little cheesed off on the face of it.

Also not American but I work for a trans-Atlantic company, those things sound like a PHI nightmare in a medical setting given Meta’s habit of indiscriminately hoovering up data like as many labradors in a pantry.

It certainly calls into question his judgement, what kind of person hires a skipper who apparently either does not keep the required watch on channel 16, or ignores calls for aid?

If that superyacht’s radio doesn’t have a dual watch function then I’m the king of the Britons.

Yeah it’s one of those cases where basic material interest ought to cast suspicion on the apps in my view.

Yeah it was literally drilled into me as a child that you aid a vessel in distress until the point you would be in distress yourself, provided you are in position to do so. It’s the law certainly, but without highly extenuating circumstances there’s also the matter of serious personal disgrace in my view.

My favourite claudism is when it deletes tens of gigabytes sized models as if redownloading them is trivial for me. It might be for the boys at Anthropic with their sewer pipe sized fibre optics, but for me where my last mile is copper bullshit Openreach probably hasn’t maintained since the 2008 crash it’s a massive pain in the arse.

To expand on this, things like reddit and discord are literally modern-day attempts to enclose the commons in my view. They took all the ground from open protocols that nobody in particular owned and replaced them with an aristocrat’s private property.

It can be done, I just bought an e-ink phone and it’s caused my use of commercial social media to plummet. Admittedly I’m saying this on Lemmy, but I think Lemmy has more in common with the forums of yore than ‘social media’ as it’s generally understood.

The new Moore’s Law: the amount of RAM you can afford halves every six months.

I don’t think any human artists have made an album about the Isstvan massacre.

How on Earth are there warhammer fans who haven’t heard of Bolt Thrower?
