I have seen it come back with a "Saved -2%" before... turns out there were html entities that were counted as only one character pre-summary, but the full 5-6 character codes were counted post.

Was funny to me especially since the bot was honest about it lol. Like if I were to code a similar bot in the future, I am def going to add a conditional and skip the post if compression is <= 0.

Not me. I maintain my own lemmy server.

Aye, but a little more convoluted. TL;DR: Several new projects forked to avoid the enshitification, and with much time and drama, most of the actually active maintainers joined forces under the Tenacity name+repo. (And 4chan was part of the drama, because of course they were.)

Boot up from a live cd and go nuts.

It seems like if these Polish farmers get what they want in the short term, then they'll be so much worse off in the long term.

In regards to Ukraine: If Ukraine is not able to sell to the rest of Europe, then Ukraine is weakened, and more susceptible to being invaded by Russia. If Russia is successful in Ukraine, Poland is surely not too far from being invaded next. A Poland that's trying to fend off a Russian invasion is less likely to have a fruitful economy than in peacetime.

In regards to climate: If the climate is fucked, then ain't nobody growing/selling as many crops.

Both seem so shortsighted - am I missing something?

"Oh no! Anyway."

-Israel, probably

There’s no point in those interviews unless you say what needs to be said.

" Yeah great, well I generally come in at least 15 minutes late. I, uh, use the side door, that way Lumberg can't see me and, uh, after that I just sort a space out for about an hour. Yeah I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for, uh, probably another hour after lunch too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about 15 minutes of real, actual, work. Oh yeah, let me tell you something about TPS reports. See the thing is Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime. So where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob, I have eight different bosses right now. Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation, is not to be hassled. That and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that'll only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired. Listen, I'm going to go. Uh, it's been really nice talking to both of you guys. Good luck with your layoffs, all right? I hope your firings go really well."

Your reading comprehension sucks, pal.

Russophile is fine, it's Putin-dick-riding that I take issue with.

every generation thinks they’re the last ans that everything is about to go to shit. In the end that never really happens

About 3.76% of the worlds population died due to WWII, or about 300MM people if scaled to today. For those people, the end really did happen.

With NATO being threatened by a malicious US presidential candidate, along with Putin getting express approval to go ape by the same, I'm actually quite worried WWIII is more possible than ever in my adult life (I was only a child during the cold war).

Do not use a black light in that room.

How about this: Billionaires and presidents don't get to keep their taxes secret. Deal?

Seems it's the opposite, the unique combo is popping up plenty. I wouldn't be surprised if she's changed it since.

The FN P90 (matching the text in the pic):

Not only did the FN P90 fire a revolutionary and original ammunition, but it also marked the advent of two significant technological events in the history of gun making at FN. First of all, its patent specified the placement of the 50-round magazine along the barrel and axis of the weapon, while all the machine pistols of the time were still encumbered, either laterally or vertically, by their long magazines. Furthermore, through the power of its spring, the FN P90 magazine itself ensured the rotation and exit of the ammunition into the gun's chamber. Also, for the first time in FN's history, the development team chose to put their faith in the possibilities offered by technical polymers. This choice placed FN Herstal definitively at the forefront of high tech technologies. More than 50 percent of the new arms later developed by FN Herstal would be made of composite materials.

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone.

It's all projection with these types.

That big bag of cheetos? Yeah that still only has like 2.5oz, it too has been enshitified.

I've read it can be a big problem in assisted living places, STIs for everyone!

First I've heard of that term, and after looking it up, I like the term Game-as-a-Service way better.

Seems like a perpetual fee if you want to keep playing. I guess I'm missing something, but I think I'd rather pay a monthly fee of I dunno $10/month to play, if there is a $0 cost to install the game.

So to be clear, none of this $60 game purchase and a $10/month subscription, it's one or the other. For most games that are decent, I get into binge playing and beat the game within a month anyway and then never play it again. I win in this scenario, since I'm not coughing up ton of cash.

For exceptional games, I generally reinstall maybe 1-2 times a year and do another playthrough, which means after 3-6 years then I'm in the hole. The other huge case where I'd lose out: Playing more than one game in a given month. I typically have 2-3 games installed at a time to mix things up in a given month, which would mean being out in the hole way quicker. There's also the being a "patient gamer" and buying shit on extreme sale, which I'd be fucked by GaaS too.

So I suppose I'd rather than buy my games outright, and say fuck that rent bullshit.
