The thing is that this can happen even without active malice.

If the product owners or engineers decide "hey, we want to add this cool feature, but it's not supported by activity pub" the path of least resistance -- bypassing the long process of changing the activity pub spec and getting everyone else on board -- can be super tempting, and come from a place of wanting to make your product better.

Those ostensibly good intentions can lead to E/E/E without actively meaning to.

Sometimes it does feel like my diet must consist mostly of gas giants.

Definitely a case of "task failed successfully" though, because we cultivate those planets -- making their continued survival all but ensured.

Agreed, I grew up in a very conservative area and was pretty homophobic when I started college.

"They can do whatever they want, just don't ask me to like it" was an important stepping stone towards "oh shit, love is love" and finally actually listening to the experience of gay people.

Thems the breaks when using what is essentially alpha software. The devs of both Lemmy and Kbin are aware that the admin tools need work, but stuff takes time.

What if you bored from both ends of the cylinder until they meet in the middle?

There would be two holes until, at the moment of contact, it becomes one?

Does the method with which the straw shaft is created influence the number of holes it has?

Yeah, it could be at 14%! D:

Dude. Just let us have this.

We use LTO tapes in Hollywood to back up raw footage; it wouldn't surprise me if AWS uses tapes for glacier.

I got a tour of Iron Mountain once (where we sent tapes for long term archival). They had a giant room with racks and racks of LTOs, and a robot on rails that would make copies of each tape at regular intervals to keep the data from corrupting. It looked kinda like the archive room in Rogue One. Wouldn't surprise me if Iron Mountain was an inspiration for the design. Super interesting.

I know that 'disordered' probably has a technical meaning here, but it's interesting to me that we as humans look at a structure that has ~100% efficiency and label it "disordered" because that structure is non-uniform.

Even if it's just as a username? How would Google even know about that?

I'm not saying "sign in with Google" sign ins. Just that I use that email address as a username in a couple places

The thing is that I'm a very hard worker and generally really like work. My brain just doesn't want to be awake before 10am.

Work from home is a godsend. I can work 10:30-6:30 most days and it's great.
