@skinnylatte Well, it was the fried component I was wondering about. Rice in the morning I absolutely understand. I don't really eat breakfast (just a weird thing I have, not regional or otherwise) but I imagine those carbs can really help one power through the early hours.

@skinnylatte Huh. Ok. I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to food. ... Anywhere...

@skinnylatte Isn't fried rice a bit excessive for breakfast though?

@GreenSkyOverMe @ami_angelwings I dunno... I feel like they'd end up only talking about their favorite foods and teas and then Janeway would get into an argument with Picard about whether coffee was better than tea.

I don't even think anyone would bring up the Borg, much less the Dominion.

EDIT: Or maybe something like this, lol:

@inthehands ?

You mean you set it to not disable crawling?

Regardless though, a lot of people are complaining that these "AI" services ARE crawling their sites even though told not to by robots.txt.

@inthehands I find it intriguing that even though they're ignoring robots.txt they're still properly identifying themselves. Weird that they breach one trust/protocol but not the other.

@mcc (I guess replace "someone" with "something.")

@AzulCrescent Lol, I am a native speaker and this one still throws me sometimes.

UI designers: please please please please please please please please please please please please give us a way to enter a number exactly instead of only a slider that can't be precise.

I know a difference of one seems unimportant to you, but I literally have to hold my breath unable to even breath right until I get it right. I know I'm not the only one out there. I don't want a value that is "close enough."

Just make the value text a box instead of a label.

This might be an #ActuallyAutistic thing, I don't know. Regardless, it's super simple to just make it a box I can manually edit.

This is even worse on mobile where taking your finger off the screen can move the bar.

And I KNOW I'm not the only one who feels this way.

@joby @futurebird @CptSuperlative @emilymbender Yeah, there are a lot of little scenarios where it can actually be useful and that's one of them. The best thing about that is it merely stimulates you to create on your own and you can just keep starting over and retrying until you have a pretty good pre-defined case in your head to start from with the real person.

As long as one doesn't forget that things may go wildly differently IRL, it can help build up towards a better version of what might otherwise be a tough conversation.

@futurebird @CptSuperlative @emilymbender Summaries aren't reliable either.

There are indeed use-cases. But every single one of them comes with caveats. And, I mean, to be fair, most "quick" methods of doing anything come with caveats. It's just that people forget those caveats.

@dalias @sarahjamielewis Which functions are you referring to? I must admit I haven't needed them, so hadn't noticed.

@sarahjamielewis What is your opinion on LibreWolf? It has a lot of the same sorts of things, just sans the TOR networking. They even have most of the stuff for connections to Mozilla disabled or removed and some nice anti-fingerprinting stuff.

Though, long term, I'm holding out hopes for Servo to be a thing and give us an option that isn't beholden to any corporations.

@nixCraft I don't know. I had a pretty interesting experience a while back where an older system stopped working entirely with apt-get but worked fine with apt. It was like they handled databases differently and apt handled the newer stuff more correctly or something because apt-get couldn't do any upgrades anymore on that system.

@catsalad @ari That's honestly actually a little bit evil...

You really are four cats in a human suit aren't you?

@mcc I mean, if you think about it, we're already-

*Is hooked off the stage.*

@skinnylatte I imagined your cat just sitting calmly and then you start to take a bite and her head just swerves instantly locking eyes like a scene out of a horror movie.

Be safe!

@nixCraft MS Paint.

@RickiTarr Truth is stranger than fiction, right?

Or, lately, I see a lot of people saying "real life is a The Onion article."

@futurebird @justafrog @clayote I used to use AliExpress a lot back in the day when I actually bought stuff. I prefer Amazon for anything I may potentially have to send back (which lately is a lot since I'm down to more essentials only) but other than the really long wait time on AliExpress and the fact sometimes USPS would require a signature (which means if I'm not standing at the door when they drive up they mark it as not deliverable and I have to go in to the post office in person to get it) I couldn't say they ever gave me any troubles (not entirely their fault, but I did wish they wouldn't mark them as requiring a signature...)

They never did any identity theft or anything. I don't even think they sold my email address, though it's hard to be sure.
