  1. The idea that suffering will somehow make you noble is quite awful. Depression isn't some kind of cleansing fire that opens you to empathy. It affects good people and assholes and people in every phase of life.
  2. "Hello main office, I have seen a rumor on Instagram that a bridge has collapsed. Should I stop all traffic through this region due to this shitpost?"

    "Hi please don't - we've had three different trains go through there already. There is no loss of signaling in the area, electrical and infrastructural connections are responding appropriately. We will be sure to contact other drivers and let them know about this"

  3. > Network Rail said the railway line was fully reopened at around 02:00 GMT and it has urged people to "think about the serious impact it could have" before creating or sharing hoax images.

    Perhaps Network Rail should have a system of asserting rail integrity that is independent of social media (?!!?)

    for real, pick up the phone and ask someone (??)

  4. It would be excellent to know who is pushing this and through what means. There is some unprecedented alignment across borders to restrict access and rights.
  5. They are exactly the kind of mortgage broker mentioned in the parent comment.
  6. I'm born and raised in Scotland, we're keeping it.
  7. I don't think it matters. Whether it was a fault of incentives or some intrinsic nature of people given the environment, it was rarely a pleasant experience. And this is one of the reasons it's fallen to LLM usage.
  8. the gatekeeping, gaming the system, capricious moderation (e.g. flagged as duplicate), and general attitude led it to be quite an insufferable part of the internet. There was a meme about how the best way to get a response is to answer your own question in an obviously incorrect fashion, because people want to tell you why you're wrong rather than actively help.
  9. you have silicon valley right by the San Andreas fault line..
  10. Or "open install", correctly implying the alternative is closed.
  11. Classic @devops_borat

    "To make error is human. To propagate error to all server in automatic way is #devops"

  12. how exactly does age verification prevent any of this?
  13. steve austin?
  14. You're downvoted but quite accurate. I would like to see this statistic compared against how often the BBC misrepresents news content, and the backflips that come with defining such a metric.
  15. whoa I'm out of the loop, what the fuck happened to redis?
  16. You feel that being fired is an appropriate consequence to interrupting a CEO?
  17. It follows that customisation and individuality are incompatible with good taste. I love the idea that corporate design teams are the first and last word in style
  18. The music in question would be the music of the artist he's interviewing at the time, the absurdity is that you can interview the creator but not show what they've created.
  19. > In one instance, the agent actually used pkill to terminate itself after realizing it was stuck in an infinite loop.

    The alexandrian solution to the halting problem.

  20. I've made a few failed attempts at embracing blender before - how did you pick it up in a day?
