601error@lemmy.cato Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Two Cyclists Killed By Truck's Lumber Load In CaliforniaEnglish12·2 years agoUnless the load was improperly secured, or the driver was not driving safely, which we don’t know yet.
Every time I hear this word firefish, I cannot help but be reminded of the phrase “turds of the firefish”, which appears quite randomly in one of Orson Scott Card’s novels.
Thanks for this. I’ll check his books out.
601error@lemmy.cato Technology@beehaw.org•After Axing Headlines, Elon Musk To Hide Retweet, Like Buttons On TwitterEnglish2·2 years agoWe’re talking cross-platform depravity these days.
601error@lemmy.cato Technology@beehaw.org•After Axing Headlines, Elon Musk To Hide Retweet, Like Buttons On TwitterEnglish1·2 years agoI even explicitly called out my statement as tongue-in-cheek, so it’s not to be taken 100% seriously. And full disclosure: I myself am not a PHP developer, but much worse: a PowerShell developer, among other languages.
601error@lemmy.cato Technology@beehaw.org•After Axing Headlines, Elon Musk To Hide Retweet, Like Buttons On TwitterEnglish9·2 years agoThis is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but kbin generally requires its users to be either unaware it is written in PHP or OK with using something written in PHP. That has to exert some selective pressure.
601error@lemmy.cato Science@beehaw.org•Scientists unlock the secrets of a sixth basic flavorEnglish8·2 years agoAnnoyingly, the article never said what it tasted like.

601error@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Poilievre introduces housing bill, plan focuses on getting cities to build more homesEnglish3·2 years agoI don’t think any one thing is gonna be a magic fix. We gotta do all the things rather than focus on just one aspect.
601error@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wish humans could get firmware upgradesEnglish411·2 years agoI know the evidence says that therapy works in general, but yeah, it’s difficult to believe. And to be honest, I’d rather take a pill than talk to a therapist, all else being equal.
601error@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada likely sitting on the largest housing bubble of all time: Strategist - BNN BloombergEnglish11·2 years agoI’m ready for it to pop and the consequences thereof. I know I will have to shoulder some of the burden. Too bad that businesses love to privatize gains and nationalize risks, but that’s the mess we’re in.
To copy another of my comments, I don’t buy this “but the economy” line. It smacks of “too big to fail”, and I think that occasional failure is necessary and healthy.
601error@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada likely sitting on the largest housing bubble of all time: Strategist - BNN BloombergEnglish2·2 years agoYes, I am ready for that. I don’t buy this “but the economy” line. It smacks of “too big to fail”, and I think that occasional failure is necessary and healthy.

Personally, that’s all I want a browser to be. Anything more is useless bloat, IMO.
601error@lemmy.cato You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin12·2 years agoProbably something you’d notice more in the number of concurrent users each solution could handle per web server instance. Rust theoretically would let you serve more users with less resources.
Disclosure: I dislike PHP.
601error@lemmy.cato You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin7·2 years agoSame. As a Rust lover and PHP hater, the choice was easy.
I have listened since the time it was the Engadget podcast, then This Is My Next, then the Vergecast. Yes, it’s fluff and not deep technical info, but it’s really useful for keeping up with the overall zeitgeist of the tech industry. Also it’s often funny. It’s a nice, refreshing thing to listen to while making coffee on a Friday.
I hope Air Canada doesn’t fly Air Canada on the trip.
