That's how it used to be. You asked questions to people who were believed to be wise, and then their answer was what the truth was. And most of the things we "knew" were just wrong.

Not that it's less complicated now...

Love the creativity here. This is the kind of stuff I hope to see more of on lemmy

I was a fan of the version with the tricolor, but I think this interpretation actually makes me okay with the one they adopted

This concept actually makes me want to have AI take my job

My c++ is pretty rusty, but I hopped through the changelogs. I think this is the source for it here https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/toolkit/components/antitracking/URLQueryStringStripper.cpp

In a similar vein, I've been rewatching TNG and find myself thinking that they really should have put a cctv camera in engineering. Could have saved them a lot of trouble.

Linguistics. Did you know English and Bengali are related? They share an ancestor about 5000 years ago. Russian, Latin, Farsi, and Greek, and lots more are in that family too.

Do you know what languages are not related at all, absolutely 0% aside from borrowings, even though if you know a bit about em they seem like they should be? Japanese and Korean.

Just read The Dispossessed last month. It's a good one for sure 👍

What a dumpster fire. Meanwhile, I'm still getting alerts from my local fire department through twitter. Doesn't exactly make me feel safe.

I was always confused by how the "blue blocking" glasses just looked clear. Like, if you look at something colorful through them like a rubix cube, you can still see the blue color. Shouldn't something blocking blue light look kinda orange through it?

He's the sweetest cat (and converted me to a cat lover). Someone actually gave him up, but now he has a great home.
