Maybe… “there is no such thing as bad publicity” ?

It is itself hyperbole and it’s by no means absolute, but yea plenty of times where bad publicity is still publicity.

I’m a network sorcerer.
Wizards are more the book-type while I draw my networkink power from my bloodline.

You’re off by an order of magnitude in these percentages.
In most places, it is legal to drive with a blood alcohol content between 0.025% and 0.08%.
Over 0.08% is a DUI.
Over 0.8% is death.
25%… you’d indeed need a thanatologist to get there.

Phones sometimes will ignore your local DNS (if any) and still use whatever the vendor hardcoded.

Try to reach the website from the phones, both with its FQDN and its IP.

Then ask your friend, not us, and not publicly.

I can’t know for sure if they kicked the bucket or not, but they aren’t around here anymore.

They seemed like a genuinely cool person and it makes me sad that they might be gone.

They’ve mentioned accepting and not fearing death, but also wanting to remain anonymous.
I won’t doxx them, alive or not, but know that it seems someone has since been taking care of what they considered to be their life’s work (their words).

May they remind y’all to cherish whatever time you do have.

So much baiting, the chat bot never had a chance.

Microsoft says its Agent Mode in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an AI model’s ability to edit real world spreadsheets.

It generates 42.8% bullshit.

Make America Israel Again

Yes and these comments also show up on mastodon.

No apologies needed. Although, ordering one before they reban it again may or may not be something to consider.

Pretty sure that ban was walked back?

You might not yet always know what you’re doing to your Linux install…
But you can never really what the fuck Microsoft is gonna do to your windows install.

That’s without even getting into whether or not Microsoft knows what they’re doing themselves.

Don’t overthink it, have fun, bring good earplugs.
No seriously, there are plugs meant for shows, designed to not butcher it too much, merely attenuate it all a bit.
First, you’ll avoid tinnitus.
Second, it blocks out quite a bit of the other show-goers background noise.

Critical Dependency As A Service

For when you need to outsource the potential crippling of your business to potentially hostile third parties.

I leave my phone further away.
Close enough that I’ll hear it if there’s an actual emergency, but far enough that I won’t reach for it just because I’m bored.

That’s enough to take care of most of my mindless night scrolling.

If I just can’t fall asleep, sometimes I’ll go drift off in the hammock outside or something that’ll cool my body a bit.
Tbh, sometimes I just rub one out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also works as a decongestant.
I’m not a doctor, don’t use this as medical advice.

Ghost licensing is predatory.
It’s easier to just wait until the ghost can be published in the public domain.
Blame Disney.

allegedly saw Gamboa separate from the crowd of marchers in downtown Salt Lake City, move behind a wall and withdraw a rifle around 8 p.m., Redd said.

When the two men in vests confronted Gamboa with their handguns drawn, witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle into a firing position and ran toward the crowd, said Redd.

That’s when one of the men dressed in the vests shot three rounds, hitting Gamboa and Ah Loo, said Redd. Gamboa, who police said didn’t have a criminal history, was wounded and treated before being booked into jail.

Emphasis mine. If that’s true, that could have become a mass shooting.
Still sucks to be the innocent bystander though.

If you have a microwave, follow the instructions in the bag.

I don’t have a glass lid

I’ve used a dinner plate as a lid in a pinch.
Careful it might get hot.

Yes, absolutely. Fuck the stuff you get at stores’ checkout.

I do mean something from a bank or union, it’s just instead of having a limit you can borrow from, you can prepay and do whatever transaction after.
Works fine for online places that only take credit.
You can usually get them even with shitty credit, because they’re not fronting you the money.
