Really enjoyed the Daily Show's quip about ushering in "a communist 9/11", where every building takes a little damage.

This is Theresa May, predecessor to the Cabbage Lady. (Crazy how many prime ministers we went through in those few years.)

The equivalent long option is --fuck-you

Calling the SEC on Ea-Nașir over here...

418 is always a little disappointing though. Lots of projects out there touting their "full HTCPCP compatibility" when all they do is serve 418 to every request; no actual coffeepots I could find last time I looked.

We somehow get the Pogues more than both, which annoys me mostly because it's only tangentially Christmassy.

Right, I self-host email and have done for ten years or more, but I don't do it out of a server at home. Does my Postfix not count as selfhosting any more?

As I understand it, ricing a machine is to excessively modify it to achieve more speed, users of Gentoo being the origina ricers in the Linux world.

The term itself has dubious and arguably racist origins, in the world of modification of Japanese cars for street racing.

Looks like the tide is turning on the use of slop imagery. Comments calling out generated images are getting downvoted here, and over on Mastodon AI images are getting faved/boosted more than previously.

Is the neo-Luddite battle lost? Did convenience win out over environmental concerns?

Sounds like HowToBasic (or Basics?), from memory.

So I work at DeviantArt, and we actually saw this in real-time. A few years ago, we added external ads all over the place, and had to add a whole framework to detect "ad-unsafe" works that wouldn't get ads served against them. So we only got ads against a percentage of views, and people were getting pissed at the ads and leaving.

So we tore the ads back out, traffic's recovered, and a focus on providing actual tools for artists to make money through the site has meant we're doing better without ads than we were with ads.

Each show is unique, from what I see in the comments. I feel like he's not doing the traditional 'write a set' thing, but he works backwards from an idea ("America feels like a Dollar General nowadays", for example) and has the ability to conjure an hour of almost shaggy-dog-story material on the spot leading you to that endpoint.

Rare talent.
