@skinnylatte Reminds me of the old joke:

What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual.

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual.

What do you call someone who speaks one language? American.

@Viss @skinnylatte The best way to cure the “want” of a Leica is to rent one. I rented a Q2 about 5 years ago; it was a joy to use but the photos it took were worse than other cameras I rented.

@skinnylatte Did you have COVID? If so, did the brain fog start after getting a COVID infection? I have a friend who is suffering from long COVID and am wondering whether CPAP might help him.

Got a different brand of cold cereal this morning - something with almonds and fruit that’s marketed to adults. Tooth-acheningly sweet, more than Raisin Bran. Not buying that one again.

Reminds me how @skinnylatte won’t eat sweet American breakfasts. I might feel similar if they were all like this.

@skinnylatte You like the same foods? You seem to like most any food.

@skinnylatte No food for your wife?

@skinnylatte Did you have pet insurance? If so, was it cost-effective? For our last 2 dogs, the cost of insurance would have been much more than the cost of vet bills, even including expensive treatments near end-of-life.

@skinnylatte And I doubt someone like that is good at his/her job, either.

@WarnerCrocker I tried to search but all I’m finding is this story is unsubstantiated.

@WarnerCrocker Is there confirmation for this post?

@nedbat What about the throwaway script one wrote that is now in production, powering some critical service? Asking for a friend. 😉

@thomasfuchs Store MFA in Bitwarden, then you only need an MFA app for Bitwarden itself. This is the way.

@thomasfuchs AI has entered the chat.

@thomasfuchs Thanks for the pointer. I read the full thread and - to me - there is nuance here that makes it complicated.

@thomasfuchs Source? I'm not finding anything on the web or in news.

@thomasfuchs Wait for the incubation to complete around December 29.

@thomasfuchs And here I am, pulling a travel trailer with an EV…

@mlanger @thomasfuchs To do so would require actual accounts, and you would need to follow those accounts. Mastodon software does not promote content that you don’t follow.

@mlanger @thomasfuchs Blocking users makes sense to me. Blocking an entire site due to a small fraction of users seems overkill.
