Savior [Light Roast]
  • Is that in the movie? This is the image I have in my mind but I forgot that she hit her head. I think that's not the case in the comics IIRC. Instead it's unclear whether her neck was already snapped before she fell, or the late web catch caused the snap.

  • This is why Gwen Stacy's death was so confusing to some people

  • Warning of almost 20 years of pay stagnation
  • But didn't the BoE say that we were all very rude and uncouth for taking payrises while the economy was mending?

    It's almost like they're a bunch of self serving cantankerous old fucks with no grasp on how real people live or function in society.

  • Help with wheelchair software
  • Replying again to say: that actually makes sense. You should have said that upfront! Suddenly being locked out of critical software is definitely a risk worth considering

    Elon Musk sues OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, claiming betrayal of its goal to benefit humanity
  • His actual goal is in the final sentence of the article and has nothing to do with moral intent.

  • Can't bear to review one more PR today
  • It's more about scale. Small open source projects might get one PR a month. Your average tech company is dealing with dozens of PR every single day. Review fatigue is real in these environments

  • Three pigeons walk into a bar...
  • They didn't like being called birds. They felt they were being pigeon holed

  • Autogenerated descriptions gone wrong
  • He had an interview with Google and they asked him to invert a binary tree, which is essentially taking a tree of data and swapping the positions of all sibling nodes.

    While most people agreed it was a pretty pointless question to ask at an interview, mxcl had a full "don't you know who I am" shit fit on social media.

  • Autogenerated descriptions gone wrong
  • If anyone hasn't made the connection, mxcl is the infamous Google interview binary tree guy

  • My friends never got Vine but all love TikTok
  • It wasn't about video length, it was about the Twitter leadership at that time being categorically incapable of monetizing any of their products.

    Combine that with the orders-of-magnitude higher cost of running Vine compared to the bird, and it was always either going to be sold off or shut down.

    It's easy to forget that this was back in the time when these companies thought they were changing the planet for the better and drinking their own Kool aid by the gallon.

  • UK-born woman Shamima Begum who joined ISIS loses appeal over citizenship removal
  • Great summary, but I want to point out that the reality of why they're doing this is to pander to racist voters who were told their opinion by a highly effective villification campaign against this woman in tabloid newspapers.

    Once these things gain traction, politicians always kowtow to the loudest public opinions

  • Look at all the cute kids!
  • If you can find a way to oppress women with the rebate, you'll have their support.

  • Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp
  • Which is also exactly how Signal works too; I migrated both two days ago. Process was virtually identical.

    I much prefer Signal, but can't judge WhatsApp to harshly on this tbh.

    Meta Staff Found Instagram Tool Enabled Child Exploitation. The Company Pressed Ahead Anyway.
  • Mark Zuckerberg needs to tread carefully or he might have to spend another afternoon answering the nonsensical questions of a bunch of geriatric luddites.

  • Florida surgeon general defies science amid measles outbreak
  • So, fire him? This is a fairly unambiguous failure to meet the requirements of your role

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a warning to Joe Biden on the border
  • No, not at all. People really feel that way about Trump

  • Peter Hitchens Storms Out of Interview | "I Actively Dislike You"

    Peter Hitchens is an author, broadcaster, journalist, and commentator. He writes for The Mail on Sunday. He has published numerous books, including The Abolition of Britain, The Rage Against God, The War We Never Fought and The Phoney Victory.

    ---

    While this isn't technically about atheism, I think it's on topic given Hitchens' widely publicised views on religion. With that in mind, the post-interview section gives a unique insight into how Peter acts when he feels he has been wronged, and how his approach to reason and justification changes in that light.

    Further, the interview was supposed to go on to the topic of God but Peter had already decided to storm out prior to reaching the topic (though he doesn't actually storm out for another 15 or so minutes)

    You can also follow his ongoing reaction to the interview, and its subsequent release, on his X (formerly known as Twitter) feed: https://twitter.com/ClarkeMicah

    [FR] Return to search after opening a result.

    Currently when performing a search if you e.g. click through to a result to subscribe, then press back, you end up on the page prior to tapping search. You then have tap the search tab again and enter your search term again if you want to see more results.

    I'd like to see it restore the state of the search results modal on returning from a result. This would make it much easier to do things like quickly add multiple subscriptions to related communities
