“TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees.”
“Centre, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?”
“Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?”

Tower: Cessna 310, that taxiway is approved for single engine use only.
Pilot: Roger, shutting down one engine.
-
Flight Watch: Cessna X, Can you give us a pilot report?
Pilot: It feels like we’re riding a hotel’s vibrating bed up here.
Flight Watch: Is that bed on the light, moderate or rattle your teeth setting?

"Lets be real, if you validate your ability as a programmer by points given on StackOverflow, you're probably not a good programmer."
One of my most downvoted imgur comments ... but I stand by it. Being popular does not mean you're good at anything.

one of the more mindblowing things is watching people who do not work on technoshit try to justify technoshit's shortcomings when it interacts with the real world. you see this in AI a lot, of course, but I've seen it happen in HCI too
seriously, why do people do that? for fuck's sake, demand better
-
@docbray Which one of the thingies is that?
-
@mikael oh no :(
-
@lnxw48a1 @moonman @moonman They dont wamt to fix problems. They want to act outraged
-
@moonman @clacke@librenet.de I have learned that many times, these kinds of statements are not accompanied by individual action & sacrifice. If someone is bothered that someone else sent money to rebuild Notre Dame, but not to help people affected by another fire, the first somebody should send money / food / clothing / building supplies to those people before that somebody starts complaining that someone else did not.
Enough talk. Shut up and act sacrificially.

Looks like it ran into a year-old unresolved issue with data encoding.
Great.

The gitea vm seems to have suffered a weird crash. I was trying to diagnose it for a bit but didnt get too far. Going to update everything and clear out caches and see how it runs.

@bob @strypey An unfortunate footnote to the MySpace story is the previous leadership (before their more recentish acquisition) was making efforts to open source the software and give that power back to the people. They were doing it to try to appeal to get now people. But it didnt seem to pan out in a way that their investors wanted, and the leadership was sacked and replaced and the program ended, putting them back into fully proprietary status.

@nerthos @nerthos Who puts cats in a bag, anyways?
-
@nerthos @purplehippo @nerthos Are they still saying its in beta after several years of development?
-
@purplehippo @nerthos @nerthos Its a common problem with 3D games to have the model and shadow somewhat decoupled, this isn't the most egregious instance even. But it almost has this uncanny valley effect where it being closer to accurate but still inaccurate makes me dislike it.
-
@nerthos @nerthos That shadow bothers me.
-
Koresh was clearly a cult leader and I would challenge anyone who says otherwise, but it would not be the shitshow that it was if the ATF and FBI hadn't tried to play soldier.
-
Reminder that giving extralegal government authorities the ability to play soldier ends in stuff like Waco.
-
@awl People often ascribe artistry to skill. But anyone who has been in real combat would know the reason we elevate the soldiers excellent at their craft is that they are quite uncommon. The average grunt is no better at it than anyone else.

@mangeurdenuage @moonman Looks like a weekend warrior, which is reason enough to hate them. Weird to pick up on the milk jug full of water though.
