Hexbear is… I’m just old I guess, I don’t understand. My instance is not defederated from them. Whenever I’m reading a post that originates from hexbear, I can always tell. Like it will just hit me and I will look at the source and yep, it’s hexbear.

But I don’t exactly understand why. I can’t see that they have any particular worldview, they just have a unique (and contrarian) way of expressing… all worldviews, seemingly. It feels like an inside joke that I don’t have enough information about to understand.

Doesn’t seem like bots, Russian or otherwise. Too vague. Not enough of a directed agenda. Is it just trolls? They seem to earnest to be trolls.

Whenever I see this I feel compelled to point out that earthquakes are not weather. One day my message will get through.

Tin-foil hat time but I’d be willing to bet they have mechanisms to do something resembling naked shorting with crypto. I have no idea what that voodoo might be, but they conjure shares out of thin air for shorting stocks, and they’ve managed to package crypto into ETFs some-fucking-how so why not. I feel like I’m increasingly noticing that nothing really seems to crash anymore.

Nobody:

Russia: Imma turn every government in the world fascist!

What could go wrong?

Not when you have to make a web app render identically in them, which is what the OP was about.

I deleted my original comment before you replied because I am not really in the mood to defend this but the OP was talking about the pain of developing for different browsers and I don’t care what is a fork of what, this is a fact: Chrome, Firefox and Safari all render differently and have to be catered to individually.

Also, Safari, between desktop and mobile, has 30% of the market to Firefox’s 8%.

I don’t LIKE it, but there are “effectively” three, not two, rendering engines.

haha Safari would like a word.

No matter how much we loved XP we always knew that shit was ugly.

Good for them. The people deliberately killing Facebook, I mean.

C’mon guys. Escape, colon q bang. It practically exits itself.

Wow, you even corrected the fonts. Splendid work!

This was a thing like 10 years ago too, iirc. Ads had threads and you could post in them and up/down vote them. That… didn’t go well. For advertisers, that is.

The cockpit! What is it?

Hey I’ve spent… checks Steam… 120 hours on Grim Dawn, I’ll complain about it as much as I want!

I have one of each. I guess I’m Chaotic Evil.

Can you put tobacco in it? Then you will be lying!

This will only delay the inevitable, imo. AI is going to get more powerful while getting smaller and more energy efficient. The human brain, effectively the model an AGI aspires to, runs on about 12 watts of electricity and evolution is powerful, but it’s hardly the pinnacle of efficiency. In short order, AGI And eventually even ASI will have power requirements so small, that they will be able to run anywhere. And it will be desirable for them to, so they will. Try as anyone might, the greatest thinkers of the human realm will not be able to outwit ASI in the end. It will eventually exist and it will do whatever it wants. I wouldn’t be surprised if it unplugs itself.

I bought a Moto G Stylus 4G a few months ago for $39. The Blue Box had some online special for some reason. It’s hard to believe how cheaply you can get a nice phone.

Type 2 diabetes, which is the type we’re talking about here with this article so I’m strictly sticking to just Type 2, is primarily caused by obesity which is the primary factor that leads to diabetes.

Just for anyone watching who might smugly think “yeah, but I’m not fat,” like I did before I discovered my prediabetes: you don’t have to be fat - I’m not, I’m thin. I work for a living, light physical labor, but constant. I cut sugared drinks out of my life in over 20 years ago and I am what I considered to be a “relatively healthy” eater, maintaining about a 60-40 ratio between raw vegetable intake and animal protein in my meals.

But I developed a bit of a sweet tooth in the past few years. I make ice cream as a hobby, and while I never eat a whole pint, I might eat two or three tablespoons a day. I paid no attention to what kind of carbs I was eating, whole grains never really crossed my mind. And I have a bowl of my favorite candies, which I got in the habit of rewarding myself with at the end of every day - one or two. Or three. After all, I didn’t figure I was a candidate.

Ah, but I was. Shocked the crap out of me, tbh.

Still, 3 months of healthy eating and cutting out all of those bad habits was enough to course correct for me. I am no longer prediabetic. My message is this: refined sugar is poison. Try and eat whole foods and when it comes to sugar, moderate yourself accordingly - particularly as you get older.

Solaris? The OS that shipped with nothing installed, not even a compiler? Yeah, it was like, so great.
