So doesn't that still mean that they think gender-neutral pronouns are political, i.e. they don't accept them? I've also noticed the dev in question is Swedish, so I'm not sure where German language quirks came from?

I don't understand how a German grammar situation would elicit the response from the PR. Are gender neutral pronouns "political" in Germany? Why did the dev say "personal politics" specifically?

That's why I didn't say "transphobia" anywhere in my comment. Real weird vibes is what I'm personally sticking with until I see more. The 'transphobic' and 'misogynist' claims are a leap without further evidence, but there's a very strong clue about the type of person someone is when they say pronouns are "political".

From last time. TL;DR real weird vibes. This is a PR where you say "oops, that makes sense", click merge, and go on living your life. Not whatever this ended up being.

There's an unnerving lack of substance over on reddit. Recently I decided to look at reddit for the first time since last June, and every post's comments had 1k people saying absolutely nothing worth reading. It feels like I'm reading AI-written posts that are in the uncanny valley of almost making sense and almost being on-topic. News articles have people that literally only talk about the exact words that were in the headline. Every single post's top comments must be lame "jokes" or one-liners, and those must have several replies that riff off the joke in decreasingly-funny ways.

I've picked up a strong habit of immediately looking in comment sections for good discussion and TL;DR's on Lemmy posts and it took me a while to realize that I wasn't actually reading anything in reddit comment sections. The words pass through my brain and nothing of value is absorbed, over and over. It feels like low-hanging fruit to say "reddit is all bots now" but there's something seriously wrong about how it feels over there. You only really need ~10-20 top-level replies on a post to get a broad spectrum of answers, and Lemmy comment sections feel solid for the content that's here. I wish there were more communities here (especially niche ones), but I'm grateful for what we have.

Maybe Amdahl's Law is in consideration at this point? Either way, for most consumers there's no need for more cores, and CPUs are made to be sold. I'm guessing at this point gaming performance is one of the most important metrics to differentiate a consumer CPU, so it makes sense that adding more cores is not a priority in that regard.

On a related note, I've found Dockge to be powerful enough for my usecases. Worth a try if you don't like the adversarial relationship of Portainer.

This video (series) is so cathartic. Love when people reach that moment of frustration with a company and break it off completely, instead of just eternally bending.

Good timing, since BirdTray seems to have inexplicably broken for me a couple weeks ago.

In the UK, 66% of those surveyed stated their support for same-sex relationships

Isn't this a really terrible statistic? 34% of people don't show the bare minimum level of support for letting other people live their lives? I would have expected this to be a lot higher.

I recommend a dead man's switch like Healthchecks.io, which can be selfhosted for free. Whenever you have something that's regularly occurring, add an extra callout to your unique Healthchecks callout UUID as part of the automation, and Healthchecks will send you a notification if something misses its callout schedule. You can also attach whatever data (e.g. a log) to the callout so you can look back through the run history. IIRC Borg will give you a non-zero return code if it detects problems, so you can send e.g. https://hc-ping.com/your-uuid-here/$? and a non-zero code will signal a notification as well (more examples here).

Also, Borgmatic is really easy to use for managing Borg repos. There's a lot of configuration options (including Healthchecks.io integration) but you can delete like 90% of it for normal usecases.
