@atomicpoet I still remember a school that forced girls into home-ec and boys into shop.

I also remember a girl who got mostly As getting a C in physics, but shrugging it off, "it's a boy's subject anyway."

I also remember boys telling me I got good marks on tests because I was "lucky," but when they did it, they were just smarter.

It's a complex thing. But dismantling means taking it back down to the beginning and having teachers who don't project onto students and watch out for this stuff

Taught my nephew about rickrolling. He loves it and takes every opportunity to troll his parents, aunts and uncles, teachers, and friends' parents. My siblings and in-laws are unhappy but the meme is older than he is and it is now safe in the hands of the next generation.

Is there something I should put in some markdown file in the XScreenSaver source that will make things hilariously explode if someone slopfondles it?

@glyph Is it because the day job of most knitters is not "more knitting"?

Spoiler alert for anyone who doesn't have a passing familiarity with literature, history, or religion, but any leader who erects a gold statue of himself is never the good guy.

“Our community has spent so many years building something of genuine human value: a shared body of knowledge, cultural meaning and careful critique all of which lend considerable discursive depth and richness to what we do. But in the brave new world of Knitting Bullshit, all of that accumulated wisdom, all of the real history of knitting as labour, as resistance, as solidarity, as design intelligence, as craft, is now there simply to provide the powerful emotional currency that AI-generated podcasts and videos cynically mine for profit.”

TIL that `git` commands which allow you to apply `-` will ALWAYS do this filtering before `--reverse` or other ordering adjustements

so in order to query the commit details for "oldest known commit that touched this file" you have to do some harebrained thing like:

`git log -1 $(git rev-list --reverse HEAD -- some/file | head -1)`

Careful everyone there's this scam going around where people buy up all the means of production and try to get you to work on them for less than the value of your labor. You're basically paying them to work

OK, AMERICAN MEDIA, YOU’VE GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO.

(Astonishing that no one charted this so clearly before. And don’t expect it to be a lead story anywhere. It’s an indictment of journalism in general.)

Speaking of robot bartenders.

... You're the first person to even mention Cocktail Robotics to me in I-can't-remember-how-long. So it's not as if people are banging on the door asking me "Hey, when's that coming back, I've got a cool idea..."

And, oh wow, can you imagine what an AI-slop shitshow it would be now? Half the entries would be "I made a vending machine that can talk like a sexy secretary, I think we might try to get VC funding for this"....

Just remember who around you has been homeless will absolutely surprise you, and they will hear you when you say callous, stupid things

A slopfondler walks into a bar.

Once or twice a month some tech industry guy recognizes me at DNA Lounge. It always used to be *blah blah* Mozilla *blah blah* Code Rush, whatever... but lately all they want to do is proselytize "AI" at me. This has been 100% of fanboy interactions this year. And then they're shocked when I don't want to hear about their awesome project and in fact I tell them that what they are doing is unethical and harmful...
