Or 4D chess by the environmentalists so we go without straws entirely

Classic replacement of something good with something terrible so customers opt out

Not allowed to be against cheap labour. It makes the capitalists angry.

And some very stupid people just think the opposite of left is Trump - no rational nuanced opinion allowed.

Cheap, cheap shot.

I'm well aware and take personal responsibility for my actions and words. I don't need the government protecting the words I share online

You know what else has increased homophobia? Governments importing cultures which hate homophobia. Thanks for that

Who knows, I haven't searched for unbiased data to be honest

But they can be more judicious with whom they share contact details, and use the block button. They are not forced to be the recipient of any message.

Do you think the only solution is for a government backdoor?

The uncomfortable truth: I know and have met plenty of women who have invited and welcomed dick pics. As a gay guy, I can tell you that lots of women are actually very interested in dick pics. They don't need a minister protecting them from themselves.

Wow nobody saw this coming /s

They whipped up a mini pandemic of people being subject to an onslaught of unwanted dick pics (not mentioning even once about the "block" feature on every single platform) to justify it

This is the Ministry of Truth building up their toolset

Yes, you need to find other pleasures in life. Use the clearer head space to figure out the emotional reasons for enjoying food so much.

Or just spend a long time in the Netherlands and they can teach you how people who enjoy food are indulgent and weird and therefore bad.

From your link:

> “The meds are highly effective for a majority of patients but there is still a percentage who don’t lose a clinically significant percentage of body weight. Everyone’s physiology is a little different,” – Veronica Johnson MD, an obesity medicine specialist in Chicago

> He explained that for someone who is overweight, shedding even a small amount of weight can improve heart and kidney function

And, the Guardian is exactly the kind of outlet that would publish "woe is me, it doesn't work for me" stories, as it's their target audience.

It's a tool - it can be a force multiplier if you also make other changes. If you just take the jab and do no exercise and continue eating bad, weight loss will be minimal.

Yes it's been oversold – just like almost any other product/service that ha an advertising budget. That doesn't mean it "doesn't work" for everyone.

Does your car 'not work' because you can't attract those extremely attractive ladies in the street which are often featured in the adverts?

If the UK actually had an issue with X, the PM would delete his account

I try to think about food less but...

- Every large/medium train station is rammed full of food. Everyone on the train is constantly shoving food and alcohol in their mouths

- Every high street is full of fast food

- Every service station is full of fast food

- Every coffee shop has pastries etc all on display staring at you

- Even at the gym the other day I had to listen to two women talking about their favourite steak and chicken etc for 15 minutes (it's a small gym)

- People's homes are full of snacks and temptations and friends/family can't comprehend the concept of my wanting to lose weight.

- Grocery shops place unhealthy food at the entrance and the staples are often placed in a way to make you walk past the unhealthy foods. Online grocery shops force you to look at unhealthy food during your shop

- People just walking around town are eating in the street

We have a massive snack culture generally in the UK and it's become so normalised. Another thing you notice taking public transport is it's the default mechanism to entertain and keep children quiet, so kids are being taught to have a snack constantly.

Food is everywhere all the time here!

> Code doesn't bother me as much, because it's not claiming to be the opinions of the person who wrote it.

Sees a little like moving the goalposts. Who says undisclosed AI writing in a blog claims to be the opinions any more or less than someone submitting a PR?

Would you be offended about undisclosed AI code?

And is 100% of your blog 0% LLM (or disclosed as LLM)? This isn't LLM output for example?:

> The wild thing is that all three of these projects weren’t even a priority for me—they were side quests, representing pure curiosity that I could outsource to Claude Code and solve in the background while I was occupied with something else.

It wouldn't be a bad thing though would it? Because AI is in fact amazing.

Never buy an XPS. Always been trash always will

IMO XPS had a terrible reputation and needed sunsetting. I highly doubt these will be much better

You're quite vigorously replying to anyone disagreeing with the post (and haven't contributed to the top level as far as I can tell).

It comes across as really trying too hard and a bit aggressive.

You could just write one top level comment and chill a bit. Same advice for any future threads too...

Chill a bit with the spamming ;) (7 times in this one post currently)

Mint is really polished

Also the latest KDE UI that inserts a tiny password input box below the SSID when you click the SSID, and doesn't scroll it into view, so you're left wondering what's going on

Really really bad WiFi connection UI all over

A company that would profit from more regulations arguing for more regulations. No way !

I hear planes are pretty fast

My grandparents switched to driving as soon as they could afford it haha (my grandfather the begrudging driver). Train was certainly an adventure

> but once you arrived in India you could live off the very generous UK Unemployment Benefit for a very long time

Oh, so your friend is the reason the extremely generous £391/mo unemployment benefit stops if you leave the country even for one day now ! :)

That's impressive!

My grandmother took 2 or 3 of her kids, on her own, on the train from London to southern Italy a couple of times a year with the same kind of stoicism as people take the bus into town these days. They were built different

uff that's a brave opinion in most circles

Apart from medicine, travel speeds, cost of travel, life expectancy, hot showers, central heating, cars, dentistry, sanitation, civil rights, and fewer childbirth deaths... you're absolutely right

More generically-named env vars should not be set as an "export" in a rc file like that (IS_DEMO/DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER etc). They'll get exported to every process spawned by the shell, which could have unintended consequences.

You could instead eg:

  alias code='DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1 IS_DEMO=1 /usr/local/bin/code'

or write a wrapper shell script (analyse/adjust $PATH if you're going to name it the same as an existing binary/script), eg

  #!/bin/bash

  export FOO=bar

  exec /usr/local/bin/code

Definitely related to GLP-1 drugs. I've seen people on the Mounjaro sub Reddit advising 1g per POUND of weight. Wtaf

No way the author of the PR created a TikTok to moan and mentioned it in 2 separate comments and accused Tailwind devs of "throwing a tantrum" ahaha.

Oh my days, how cringeworthy.

> The docs are the only way people find out about our commercial products

I know nothing about marketing, but why would you rely on one single source? Or interpreted differently (as a statement of fact): allow that situation to occur?
