Pardon, how do you do a serverless php page?

Beats the crap out of dishonest ones.

I hate AIs that start sentences with “honestly” or “I have to be honest”. Means they’re bullshitting you the rest of the time - which we all knew about anyway.

Wow even the HN intro comment is slop.

Also - I’m a native Spanish speaker, it’s probably the first slop page in Spanish I’ve ever seen and it’s … painful. Do your users a favor and please go through it and do some human-driven copy editing. As is this is barely intelligible.

The only acceptable humorous take about the dark mode onslaught is this : https://xkcd.com/3227/

Everything else is just tragedy.

Use reader mode. If you’re this militant, I’m certain your device defaults to dark mode and reader mode will honor that.

Using reader mode is the same thing I have to do with the avalanche of sites now defaulting to unreadable-to-me dark mode.

Can flip this around: lots of websites now default to dark mode because reasons, and dark mode is very difficult for me to read (all blurry, also gives me a headache after a while).

Make them cheaper and I’m game.

If all you needed was a new president you could have chosen the other option.

They charge you for the privilege of folding your own laundry. Brilliant.

So you’re not using full disk encryption? Typing the encryption password is probably slower than systemctl | grep to find what you need to restart.

Nah. A true audiophile would be analog only - no room for anything digital, smart or connected. “Wifi EM interferes with the sound”

> I remember when Linux users were practically obsessive about uptime and restarting felt like a sign of failure

I remember it too, like it was yesterday. Wait - it was yesterday.

I see people rebooting Linux boxes to cargo cult trying to fix all kinds of issues and I’m like - rebooting is not a solution. This is not Microsoft Windows.

I’d say entirely incorrect. It means exactly the opposite. I don’t buy the “it’s popular usage now so that makes it right” argument - it’s like saying 4 now equals 5 because more people use 4 to mean 5.

Every time you use a kitten to support flawed logic, a kitten dies.

I commend your correct use of “couldn’t care less”. It’s so rare to see people get this one right these days.

So far in this thread you’re the only one mentioning punching anyone in the face.

Second-hand? lol my main driver has 16gb and just peachy. What do you folks do that needs so much ram to browse the web.

lol :) good point

You can’t sustain your own objection, counselor.

I believe they’d change the spelling of a word if it’s archaic and obscure in the original text.

Lubing typewriters and ensuring they have a fresh ribbon also sounds pretty labor intensive.

(Where do you even get ribbons these days)

These days pretty sure computers are cheaper than typewriters.

Got any references for this? It’s pretty interesting, would like to know more.

Anal moderation! “I only poop one ounce a day tyvm”

Sarcasm is a thing.

Robert J. Sawyer is pretty responsive to emails and seeing how it’s been 30 years since he wrote that, I wonder if his views and toolset have changed since then and he might be amenable to sharing more.

One of my favorite sci fi authors btw - perennial Hugo nominee in the 90s/2ks, his lone Hugo win is for the amazing Hominids but he has many other great books. I’ve bought/read all but 2 - something I should go and correct before his newest is published and I’m 3 behind!

It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until … the project is complete?

“Simply”

You got it backwards. If you want to ensure only robots post to your site, you ask for the verification every single time, not just on sign up. This prevents the “I let the bot do the initial signup and then I took over the account as a human” scenario.

Rich Corinthian leather! My dude!
