For those who want just the tl;dr

They said automation's biggest negative impacts could be on the office support, customer service and sales, and food service professions.

(Edit: I should say however that this is regardless horrifying)

This poll is likely very skewed because anyone who bothers to respond is probably doing so because they have a (hate) agenda. The text of the first question could probably have been replaced with “I want to say I am a christian fascist without saying it out loud” and have the same outcome.

Seems like the footpath equivalent of this

It was me, but the good news is it was delicious, so good job!

Second paragraph of the “Abilities” section:

...after the first production I had to add something to the play at the request of parents (who thus showed that they thought me the responsible person) about no one being able to fly until the fairy dust had been blown on him; so many children having gone home and tried it from their beds and needed surgical attention. – J. M. Barrie

We are stranded on a planet with too many assholes

Perhaps the GP missed in details the first paragraph of the article in which it mentions that while google indeed is backing away from its more general “environment integrity API” for the web, it is perhaps still pursuing a version of this for android devices.

Seems like it would be worth the effort to find a different source for your sports feed, since otherwise you’re supporting twitter

‘murca!

Need banana for scale

I initially read this as “all programmers are single-threaded” and thought to myself, “yeah, that tracks”

The bad kerning in that cover image text cannot be unseen

Perhaps take a look at yadm which can adapt dotfiles (via symlinks or esh-based templates) based on system attributes such as os or hostname

This is related to the diminishing energy returns on energy invested (see ERoEI). It’s a measure of how much energy it takes (say 1 barrel of oil) to extract a certain amount of energy (also say 1 barrel of oil). When the first barrels of oil were extracted long ago the ERoEI was somewhere around 100, meaning you only needed to use one barrel of oil to extract 100 barrels. Last I heard, it was down to 10. If that reaches 1 then it’s basically game over for oil. There is still lots of oil far underground/undersea but it costs too much to extract.

Yes, I have two as well (Yubikey). My passwords are stored in a bitwarden vault but having the 2fa keys on the same device as the vault seemed sketchy to me. I now use the hardware authentication for whatever sites support it (not as many as I like support it) and otherwise store the TOTP keys on the Yubikey and use the Yubico Authenticator for those that don’t support hardware authentication.

Yes, very good point. Selection bias will likely skew any twitter “poll” because the algorithms feed the polls only to what the algorithm believes is the target audience. It’s perpetuating polarization and even extremism because people don’t see rational opposing views that are part of a healthy conversation.

… anyways …
