Not a cent of it was my money.

"I want to press the button - an essay" - actually funny stuff! I didn't expect to chuckle, but I did several times. Wishlisted to keep an eye on it!

Do you exit it with escape colon q bang?

I went looking for a picture of it today and got very confused when maps sent me to Australia. There is a rural locale in Australia, named after the battle - Australian soldiers fought in the battle, so that does make sense. What threw me is that the road in the Australian version has a curvature that is very similar to the pictures in the OP:

And yet, this is not the actual Passchendaele. That short circuited my brain for a few seconds this morning, imagining that it had just... never been rebuilt? Wait... part of WWII was fought in Australia? wtf?

Anyway, no. The real deal is in Belgium. It was rebuilt. Here it is (lol):

How weird is that?

I mean, this all sounds like shit, yes. But sometimes things are only a little bit shit and yet the answer is still "redesign the approach" (ie: start over).

Hexbear is... I'm just old I guess, I don't understand. My instance is not defederated from them. Whenever I'm reading a post that originates from hexbear, I can always tell. Like it will just hit me and I will look at the source and yep, it's hexbear.

But I don't exactly understand why. I can't see that they have any particular worldview, they just have a unique (and contrarian) way of expressing... all worldviews, seemingly. It feels like an inside joke that I don't have enough information about to understand.

Doesn't seem like bots, Russian or otherwise. Too vague. Not enough of a directed agenda. Is it just trolls? They seem to earnest to be trolls.

It's a 1954 Chevy COE 5700, but it looks like those only came in flatbed. Pic makes it look like it's been retrofitted with the back end of a 1954 Chevy 3100 panel van. It's probably Photoshop. The panel van's back end doesn't look long enough to do this. It could have been done irl by someone determined enough to make it happen - but then it wouldn't look like it does in the OP.

There also is a Wikipedia article which I think is not written that well. And a lot of education material by churches or religious organizations which I did not cite for obvious reasons.

That's because Christian apologists constantly brigade those articles.

Edit: lol, and downvote lemmy comments I guess

Oh god, I know all of these.

Also fuck Tim Kosse. Bundled Filezilla with malware and fucked up my machine in 2014. Had to reinstall Windows. I'll never use it again.

I use WinSCP on Windows and Forklift on MacOS.

Tin-foil hat time but I'd be willing to bet they have mechanisms to do something resembling naked shorting with crypto. I have no idea what that voodoo might be, but they conjure shares out of thin air for shorting stocks, and they've managed to package crypto into ETFs some-fucking-how so why not. I feel like I'm increasingly noticing that nothing really seems to crash anymore.

Nobody:

Russia: Imma turn every government in the world fascist!

What could go wrong?

Not when you have to make a web app render identically in them, which is what the OP was about.
