You die twice. One time when you stop breathing, and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody damns your soul for the last time.

  • The profile menu is a List item Li element and it contains other Li elements for it’s options.

    To avoid writing more JS than necessary and to have more semantic HTML, Select elements are used (like in this drop down), so you can simply listen to their changed event and execute code.

    But the devs could’ve slightly modified that custom drop down and used it everywhere for consistency.









  • Oh, thanks. The site is back online.

    This is good news, but the title makes it seem a lot more interesting than it is. Everyone here already uses VPNs for everything, 'cause it’s all banned.

    This is weird though, because other distros like Arch, Debian, and their derivatives (even corporate ones (e.g. Manjaro)) were working fine. Even Flathub didn’t require a VPN. isn’t that hosted by Red Hat too?



  • People knew Epstein didn’t kill himself and knew he was killed off to hide lots of terrible things. And of course knew that meant powerful and rich people were involved in unspeakable acts. But then to be able to point fingers at specific people (especially those who are in position that make claims against seem like slander used politically e.g. Trump) you have to get more than claims to implicate them.

    Still, being certain someone committed a crime because multiple people, women, men, cameras or TVs said so doesn’t seem reasonable without evidence.




  • Just AI generating an image of what the desktop should look like.

    Mouse, keyboard, and other inputs are treated like prompts (e.g. move pointer to 43, 135).

    All that gets stored on your disk is these prompts in a giant file and it executes it all on each startup to get to the final state you were on last time (it’s never quite right, sometimes completely wrong)

    All of that is processed “on the cloud” and you get an eye watering bill at the end of each month (MS is still running on a loss though), but hey at least the PC didn’t cost more than $100 because it’s an SD card, a wireless adapter, and a bunch of cables in a trench coat.














  • Black tea refers to the visible degree of oxidation of the tea leaves

    Makes sense

    grapes are called that because they produce white (clear) liquid

    Even if it produced indisputably white liquid. Why not call it after its own color while tea is named after the color of its processed leaves?

    You’d expect tea which is thought of as a drink to be known for the color of the liquid, and grapes often eaten as is to be named after their color.

    But it doesn’t really matter, any of these could’ve been named after whichever color they were at any point of their making / preparation. It’s not like there’s a convention or something
