the secret to achieving native-like language skills is to forget any of the sounds and spellings you know from other languages exist. when i see an s, in german, for an arabic word? doesn't matter, i pronounce it [z]. when i see a z, in swedish, for an english word? always [s]

Google: "A lot of the AI hallucinations are from maliciosly crafted prompts to make us look bad."

Okay geniuses; why does *your own documentation example* show questions about Oppenheimer returning answers about Einstein? And of course getting every single date wrong.

tired after a long day, i stare at my keyboard and, for a moment, catch a glimpse of the symbols as they really are, as if i do not know the latin script, as if they were just alien symbol designs from a video game, and i feel joy in it

I think this meme is true and awsome

So @kondziu wanted to organize the spice drawer because it had a horrible mish-mash of containers. Got some from ali express. And once you have all the same size circle...

@unormal said that if your game doesn't let you drop kick people off ledges you aren't a good game designer so i just want the record to show i am a good game designer, actually

A reminder that New Zealand and other land masses in the south-west Pacific are home to LEAF-VEINED SLUGS!

Unlike their omnivorous European relatives, these unique leaf-mimicking slugs eat only fungi. They breathe mainly through the skin of the back, which is kept moist by secretions passing along the many grooves.

What amazing creatures!

‪every time i get one of those i kinda want to click the links to be contrarian because they're such a distinct species of email. no real phishing email would pretend to be from a sketchy hr department domain i've never heard of. they would simply pretend to be Service Now‬

you know it's a corporate phishing test email when they have to add a fake “this message has originated from an external source” banner because they had to make the sender trusted

@VulpineAmethyst @eniko Inicidentally, I read an article not too long ago talking about how autistic identity is more tied to values rather than their group associations.

And well, from having spent the last year in an autism-focused Discord server, and seeing how some staff were kicked out for not upholding the values we've been striving for, it's only further reinforced my view that NTs should not be allowed to decide on any policies or really be in leadership at all.

In 2016, everyone took it for granted that Brexit would lose and planned their protest votes accordingly.

Everyone now is taking it for granted that the Tories will lose and is planning their protest vote accordingly.

My friends, this is a category error. A vote is not a protest.

autotools be like

checking for number system base ... base 2
checking for signed integer system ... twos complement
checking for galaxy ... milky way
checking for laws of the universe ... standard model

Where the #ICQ „Uh-Oh“ sound really came from: Not Worms or Lemmings, as some are telling you. Instead Windows 3.0 MultiMedia Edition from 1991 contains the exact same sample as „ohoh.wav“. #retrocomputing #windows #1990s

Sorry, large numbers of what

it's funny how modern x64 linux distros that you can't install on 32-bit x86 machines still include i386 versions of everything in their package repositories because wine sort of still needs them (well, i can't think of a strong other reason to include them)
