Sorry about that. Only way I could think to stop spam was to use IP as unique id. Try disconnecting from WiFi.

Edit: if you’ve already voted, it overwrites that vote with the new one. This is just the quickest laziest way of stopping someone using a bot to skew the results.

Good point. I kinda rushed it and didn’t really think to check. Just bought it cause .uk is a better tld

The first step in my mental roadmap for making this more than a toy is going to be user accounts and magic links, so small orgs can manually vet people for local party branches and meetings. I’ll have to look into TLSNotary.

it’s pretty good for things that I can eye scan and verify that’s what I would have typed anyway. But I’ve found it suggesting things I wouldn’t remotely permit to things that are “sort of” correct.

Yeah. I haven’t bothered with it much but the best use I can see of it is just rubber ducking.

Last time I used it was to asked how to change contrast in a numpy image. It said to multiply each channel by contrast. (I don’t even think this is right and it should be ((original value-128) * contrast) + 128) not original value * contrast as it suggested), but it did remind me I can just run operations on colour channels.

Wait what’s my point again? Oh yeah, don’t trust anyone that can’t tell you what the output is supposed to do.

I’m not even mad at the employers to be fair. The problem is that so many jobs are just busy-work that exists because as a society we can’t imagine decoupling labour from subjugation.

Yeah. That’s the problem. It doesn’t seem to be that they didn’t do the work, it’s that they did other stuff too.

The article doesn’t say anything about productivity or targets. They got as much done as someone who manually wiggles the mouse while thinking instead of going for a walk while thinking.

Notice how this doesn’t even have anything to do with productivity. These people were fired purely for having the gall to not respect office hours regardless of the completion of tasks.

There are sections of both the right and the left that have anti-authoritarian tendancies.

The libertarian right tends to view things purely in terms of government over reach, whilst the left tends to view things in terms of the power of capital.

Leftists saw Facebook pushing propaganda for the highest bidder, Reddit trying to be safe to sell to investors and twitter basically becoming a project to reflect Elon Musk’s personal opinions.

Out of that came a bunch of attempts at creating new social networks. The right wing attempts were not cognisant that the aforementioned were the natural result of trying to get rich off it, while the left attempted to make it impossible to get into that position.

How do you decide it’s a good idea to risk getting a criminal record for fraud in the hopes of winning just one day’s salary!?

Never approach an empty section of the bar. Make sure to form an orderly queue that blocks the front door and the route to the toilets.

Solar panels on cars are thought of the wrong way. The responses in this thread really demonstrate that.

It’s true that they’re kind of pointless on EVs, because they’re never going to supply enough power to not need a proper charge, which makes the panels redundant.

Where they could be useful is hybrids, sold as something that makes the engine 10-20% more efficient.

I couldn’t find it in jerbal or whatever this app’s called so I just googled it

Almost went to Stonehenge after visiting family down south. They wanted £60 and wouldn’t let us take the dog in.

You can apparently get in cheaper if you’re a member of English Heritage. So we looked online to see if it was a fair deal and what other sites membership grants you.

Turns out that English Heritage are a bunch of robbing bastards (they literally stole seahenge!) that enclose our historic sites in order to charge money for access to them.

I won’t be visiting if I have to pay them.

Thanks for having me. Is there a way to chuck in a few quid to help pay the bills?

I’m blaming imgflip, not my incredible laziness

Tbh, I didn’t even realise you could do that. I’m just used to using grep and worked backwards. Thanks for pointing it out.

ls returns a list of files, the pipe passes that list to grep. The grep only returns results that match the string txt$. The $ symbol represents an end of line.

Search for “Hexamethyldisiloxane adhesive remover”. It’s designed for removing ostomy bags but it will remove pretty much any gummy sticky glue from anything with very little effort.

ls | grep txt$ will return only files ending “txt”
