Home inspections would trigger lots of backlash. This will just regulate physical stores because the lawmakers are boomers. Also you can’t have a massively-multi-dildo display at home if you expect snitches to come over.
Maybe they’ll use this as an excuse to monitor people’s online activity and/or mail. What if you’re buying dildos? Also lathes and 3D printers might become popular among sex shops for on-demand production. Invest!
They did paste it correctly but in Markdown, you have to type three. The first one escapes the second, and the third one escapes the underscore and prevents the pair from becoming an italics flag.
1: ¯_(ツ)_/¯
2: ¯\(ツ)/¯
3: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The examples above are slightly fake: the unescaped right underscores in lines 1 and 3 would mark the start and end of another italics segment, so I escaped them to imitate what happens in a comment with no underscores except this kaomoji.
The original contains lots of blank space. Yes, it’s realistic for a computer console to have a dense character grid but it couldn’t fit readably on my 240p feature phone. So I took the website version and modified the CSS to fit into 480p without antialiasing, then scaled it to 50%. (Yes, it would have been better to natively render it at 240p but I couldn’t figure out how to turn off subpixel AA that wouldn’t work on the phone screen (VBGR in landscape) - yes, I should have just turned everything B/W and added the amber tint in post but I hadn’t known about ffmpeg back then.)

If you can’t see video, paste it into VLC
Yes but I felt the need to include the evil/misguided minority of Germans, and I managed to do it without referencing certain 20th century events.
I have several at home
Printed circuit boards. Printing press. Graph theory. Theory of relativity. Homeopathy.
“Let’s use deuterium (stable) instead of tritium (t½ = 12.3y) so our nukes don’t expire in a few years.”
“Will it work?”
“No but it will be stable.”
“I can’t believe you haven’t been fired earlier”
Did you read the post? They’re actually being quite liberal given the anti-harassment policies of their host countries. Yes, the law that protects trans kids and other minorities from death threats and mistrial also (unfortunately) protects the 1% from death threats and mistrial.
We do have drive-through restaurants and even some drive-in supermarkets in the center of cities. I just missed my train yesterday because the bus got stuck in traffic. I really hate how car-brained my country is (honorable mentions to exceptions: Hradec Králové, Pardubice and the other few towns in the Elbe lowland that have embraced bike infrastructure to about the standards of an average German town)
it only lasts for an hour
“Only”? The “industry standard” is less than a millisecond.
Show the academic world how many computational tasks the physical structure of that coin has solved in the 15 years.
I don’t want to desolder all the relays off this washing machine board to throw it away only to find out I needed a double optocoupler!
Don’t get me started on the broken or obsolete thrown away shit I keep around “for parts or that one time I might need it”
Well, last week I finally soldered the cut cables of the otherwise working basic (literally a transformer, bridge rectifier, fuse and voltmeter) 12V lead acid battery charger from 2007 I found earlier this year to charge a tractor battery, so that’s a plus
And then internet trolls briefly pumped the coin again so the kid will always feel like he missed out on $3M.
The small text for accessibility:
the daddy gives the mommy a very special gift. The gift of a brother. Daddy has a penis, and Mommy has a vagina. He sticks his penis into her vagina, and Mommy has an egg. Sperm comes out of Daddy’s penis and that comes into contact with the egg. When this happens, the sperm enters the egg and it causes over time for something to develop inside Mommy. Nine months later, the gift is delivered. Timmy, this is where you came from eight years ago. Lorem ipsum […]
I guess it’s 2699 now
The disadvantage is, Reddit and other platforms will never add support for [fediverse hyperlink](fediverse://example.com/post/1337) Markdown syntax, or even start blocking it (they can already block known Fediverse domains but there would be backlash if they did).
You wouldn’t need browser extensions to open links on your instance
App maintainers wouldn’t need to maintain lists of instances to correctly signal “I can open this” to the OS
So if your Mastodon instance just sprung up, you can just give someone a link like fediverse://masto.darkthough.ts/post/1337 and it will auto-open using the app and instance account of their choosing.
Look up what a URL schema is. Examples include https (obviously handled by your browser), ftp, mailto, ms-word etc. The mailto one is most well-known for letting you choose between in-browser (Gmail etc.) and native (Thunderbird, Outlook etc.) options on desktop and mobile. There does not need to be a formal protocol and port, it’s just a way to signal support for a kind of content via URL.
It could continue running on HTTP(S). Did you know browsers and OSs can handle different URL schemas than the ones they natively open (http, https, file, data)? Ever saw a mailto, magnet, ms-word etc. URL schema? They can be opened with an in-browser or native app of your choice, and this has worked for years. Yes, clients would need to be patched for support but that’s easy. I would only add “instance’s native UI” as a fallback for people coming from outside the fediverse.
What’s the problem except that Germans usually show the thumbmost 3 fingers for “3”?
