Don’t worry, the bigots who are backing him won’t let him forget.

Madrigal,

Great hashtag.

Madrigal,

Just give it a couple of years for the hype/boom/bust cycle to complete, then it’ll settle down and people will start using the tech appropriately.

Madrigal,

Today it’s immigrants and trans people.

I just learned that the Time Cube is no more. (lemmy.world)

Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the “4-Day Time Cube.” This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990’s. Alas, it ceased to be some...

Madrigal,

This has real parsing [X]HTML with regex vibes.

Madrigal,

Main home and a holiday home/cabin or similar. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Madrigal,

There is another thing worse than an awful book: an awful book that comes at the end of an otherwise amazing series.

Looking at you, Jean M. Auel.

Madrigal,

This isn’t even remotely ambiguous. The DoJ’s interpretation is correct.

The question isn’t really about the meaning of “and”; it’s about the syntactic structure of the whole section.

A defendant is eligible if they do NOT have (A and B and C). In other words, having any of A, B or C will disqualify them.

The law could have been written in a more readable fashion, for example:

the defendant—

  • (A) does not have more than 4 criminal history points…;
  • (B) does not have a prior 3-point offense…; and
  • © does not have a prior 2-point violent offense…

But the meaning is the same either way. Amazing that this got to the Supreme Court.

It’s also entirely plausible that this is exactly what was intended when the law was written.

Madrigal,

Fair enough. If you want to solve the problem of gender equality, give it to the experts.

Madrigal,

Truth is the first casualty of war.

Madrigal,

I thought this one was declared “satire” a couple of days ago.

Madrigal,

It’s “Noticketo NOmo”, not “NoticketOH noMO”.

Madrigal,

I love this series. This is fucking gold.

Madrigal,

Bonus points if you use an LLM to generate said illegible nonsense.

Madrigal,

We call ours “special fork”.

Madrigal,

I have been asking for some better note keeping software at work for about 2 years now, because the M365 apps are garbage and don’t work for me. In spite of my workplace having a reasonable accommodation policy and the best of intentions, they have no process for handling requests outside the predefined standard stuff (screen readers, dyslexic-friendly fonts etc) and so the request has been stuck in limbo. I’m now on my fourth manager since it started LOL.

Madrigal,

They’ve also fixed a long standing critical bug in Snipping Tool, wherein it wouldn’t work properly if you were using multiple displays with different magnifications (e.g. a laptop at 150% and an external monitor at 100%).

Madrigal,

My work machine is W11 and has options to change it. Not one of those stupid ‘home’ vs ‘pro’ version things is it?

Madrigal,

Cathode Ray TubieVision

Madrigal,

Led Poisonin

Madrigal,

Nope, I’ve seen it myself. Cannot imagine a more useless feature.

Madrigal,

They used to have that as a filter. Although for a long while you could pick short (<4 mins) or long (>20 mins) but not medium length videos.

This, too, was a sign they had no fucking idea what they were doing.

Madrigal,

I wonder how much time they wasted trying to save a dollar on postage.

Madrigal,

Possibly in blood. Yuck.

What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?

I'm thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?

I know ideally you'd simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it's not always an option in some circumstances.

Madrigal,

Some older online games have pretty good latency tolerance because they were built in an era before broadband was widely available.

Vanilla World of Warcraft, for example, has a ‘spell batching’ mechanic that helps to equalise things somewhat. You’ll need to play on a private server though because Blizz changed spell batching in Classic.
