The film caught fire when I saw Interview With the Vampire in the theatre. It was awesome.

Reddit has always had paid employees, only the mods are/were unpaid.

Are we sure they were humans? Maybe they were ChatGPT 2.

Hey, I wanted to thank you for this exchange. I learned a lot about lemmy.

I can maybe see marking it as deleted in case someone wants to creat undelete functionality later. I don't agree with it, but I can see why someone would do it.

It's just weird to still push it to the frontend.

Same with the removed stuff. All of that should be handled on the backend and never even sent to the frontend. Sometimes the reason for deletion is something you don't want getting grabbed by someone who is bored and poking around in developer tools, like doxxing information.

Since I don't have the time to do anything about it, though, I guess I don't have a place to complain. I have strong feelings about this stuff, but there's a limit to the number of things a single person can work on. If I were to hop on an open source project this minute, it would be helping migrate Cursorless to an LSP.

If it wasn't clear from the article, that's already a thing. They can even set up your software for you. I can see how it would make managing hardware in lots of different places a lot easier.

I really don't see any benefit to it (for users) for home use. It's certainly an easy way to make Windows a subscription service and charge you for storage. It also pretty much wipes out any data privacy on your devices.

From what I can tell the whole point to the css class/formatting was controlling the size of the emojis. Depending on where they came from, I could see some being of random size and shape. Admins might not have the time or know-how to shrink them down, so css seems like a reasonable compromise as long as the files aren't huge.

I'm kind of bothered that the only fix seems to be on the frontend. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to stick with Rust long enough to take a reasonable crack at figuring out how to help on the backend. Input and output sanitization should ideally be handled in both places.

This makes such a huge difference. Higher end department stores do fittings, usually for free. If you go there during a sale, you can often find something at around or just under $100.

1Password offers 2FA now, too. I haven't decided yet if it's too eggs-in-one-basket-y, but it sure is convenient.

Child painted fingernails are the best. They tend to pick lots of colors!

The best way I've found to manage other people's pronouns is to use my own.

"Hi! I'm tanglisha. My pronouns are she/her."

Practice until it sounds natural. Include your pronouns everywhere that makes sense, I have them in my work email signature and zoom account. The other person will usually reciprocate if you're in person, even if they've never introduced themself that way before. A bonus is that it normalizes this as a way to present oneself. We shouldn't put all of the burden of managing pronouns on the minority who already have a hard time with them.

It's true that this might draw some attention, but the worst I've ever gotten was someone asking me why I refer to my partner as "my partner" when he's of opposite sex. YMMV based on where you are and the folks around you, I'm on the west coast but have coworkers all around the world.

I have a pre android Samsung that's basically that. It would have been a great phone if their os wasn't so terrible.

I have all of my old cell phones, including the one I drive over. There are at least two original flip Razors in the box. I don't want to just hand over old hard drives full of my data.
