Manual of my washing machine explicitly states that I should check for small animals before closing the door 😸

Oh, man! Why is this so funny? Every time I find it reposted on my page, I have a good laugh 😹

Wow, I didn't know not only that there is PhD in that, but there is an intersection of natural science and social sciences. Interesting 😲

Fairphone 5 is being extensively reviewed on GSMArena next to the new iPhones — no problem with that.
It's true, that iPhones' refresh is usually hyped, but I don't see this particular one standing out in any way 🤷

@BlueWaveSurfer@universeodon.com Looks dazzled — just as advertized 😹

@FalconMarkSix
Post criticizing Google illustrated by images in WebP format… so contradictory 😏

@thomholwerda No, I, of course won't be against having a Talos ][ workstation, but I'm not sure I ever have spare funds for that 😅

@thomholwerda Using anything non-x86 and non-ARM might be problematic today, I have PowerMac G5 too— a lot of software requires patching, some outright incompatible, for example Go is poorly supported on PowerPC and I can't build some of my favourite software. You could probably solve this problem with that expansion card.
Having your dream computer makes you lose interest in getting new hardware I think.

@thomholwerda I've always wanted to have a pre-Nehalem Mac Pro and two 30" Cinema Displays. And I have it now. I've had it since it was still relatively current, by modern standards it's showing its age already, but I still like this machine. Mine's not maxed out, it has top CPU for this model, but I think I can put 4 more gigs of RAM into it — 28 is enough for the though. I have GTX680 with Mac-compatible firmware in it — also pretty old card now, but not too old.

Disgust would probably be a better word here 😂

@useless_idiot So when I hear this "But they hate us" now, I respond with "Well, if you start telling them they should be part of the empire, Eastern Bloc and all that, they might even punch you in your face — and they would be right" 😂

@useless_idiot I knew a few Poles in person and even online Poles are among the most fun people so I have always found this hard to believe.
The real reason is probably serf's way of thinking — when your master gets attacked you have to protect him, same here. Polish officials often voice something unfriendly towards Russia — the state, not the people — but a lot of Russians take it personally.

@useless_idiot I think they hate Poles because being Slavic people, Poles still managed to break this cycle of abuse and distanced themselves from the empire — same reason they hate Ukrainians now I think.
You might be surprised, but that's the way they bring you up here — I've been eyeing Poland as a country to move to and nearly everyone, especially the older generation have been telling me: "Why Poland? They hate us!". None of these people of course ever been to Poland.

Они предложили обязать россиян менять пол и потолок МЕСТАМИ 😱

@thor
It probably wasn't meant to be creepy, but yeah, it still kinda is 😄

@thor
The first one just screams "come here, let me grope you" to me. The other one reminds me of the "I know that feel, bro" meme if anything 🤣

@mjdxp
No-no-no-no-no! We do not dump our cores here😊
ulimit -c 0
sysctl -w kernel.core_pattern=/dev/null

@scarlet I don't think that it's tamper protection, they aren't signed like packages. It's just an integrity check to make sure that the image downloaded completely and that it's same as on the other side. Archives have checksums in them, images don't, burning incompletely downloaded image would be rather frustrating.
Made sense back in the days when FTP was used to download them, with modern protocols that can resume transfer and now that only few use optical media, it's just a tradition IMO.
