Is nobody going to mention anything about the fact that one of the friends at the restaurant has no _head_ ?

I wrapped many projects in 98.css. And some in Aero and even XP. Thank you!

Amazon is garbage. The majority of goods on amazon are trash too. Everything about it is shitty unless you think it's neat that a guy drives a truck clear across your town because you can't be bothered. And those people are trash too.

Unless the app is better than Chrome or Safari, make it a website. The world is a difficult place because of dolts that think others are as dumb as they are. People are okay to use a browser. Nobody wants your stupid app.

I kind of wish they had developers that know how to get a video upload working from the website.

Alas, it all must have gotten scrapped for a llama workflow.

Website is worse than 15 years ago (code AND contents).

A study would presumably also find no clear advantage in a fistfight between a husband and wife? Protecting half the population is countably higher stakes.

if you save a jpeg as a bitmap, doesn't that save every bit faithfully? is the example backwards or is my understanding of maps of bits naive?

If my radio got FCC stamps on it, I'm sure the airplane has this figured out but in the opposite direction.

Did someone update fly by wire to run on 2.4Ghz BLE or something? What is even the deal with airplane mode?

This is why TXT and MD and RTF exist. This is why CSV exists. This is (some of) why some governments are moving away from this junk.

But microsoft's incompetence keeps a lot of people employed.

surely there are some extra knobs at the original knob factory and 3d printers have nothing to do with it.

New comment by timnetworks in "Vladimir Putin is losing his grip on Russia"

timnetworks — Sat, 09 May 2026 12:41:39 +0000

Me too. What I haven't heard until very recently is normal people either unafraid to say it, or afraid of the consequences of saying it less than the consequences of what is happening.

They lost the plot, it's a little too late, but it's new.

I've never seen someone fling their clipboard against the wall so hard it shatters. Probably clipboard developers are just a better breed.

Hey Uber, you're a multibillion dollar black hole, can you use some of the dollars to make a webpage that can handle an image upload.

While there, can you hire some people that understand more than 1 sentence at a time?

This should be embarrassing to you. But at a company where human exploitation is okay I guess it tracks.. but it should be embarrassing.
