TIL about this weird GNU cp syntax to copy a directory while renaming it without the normal "copy into target if it's a directory" behaviour https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/412262 cp -r /src/foo/. /dest/bar

RE: https://mastodon.social/@gvwilson/116997366488785600 Radium was also useful. Sometimes the usefulness of something is inseparable from its harm. This is not an academic debate about how we might incorporate a theoretical technology and what tradeoffs we would accept. We are responding in real time as the harms are inflicted on us. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to 'em.

It's deeply fucked up that we must have benches only slightly wider than my hand just so we can be cruel to homeless people.

My bank is fucking around with their "security" and they've again blocked me from accessing my own money. Tech is a shitshow.

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116735843169045022 This feels like a warning label telling you if the tomato you're about to eat has lead in it, rather than simply not selling lead-containing food.

Any AI-free Godot knowers out there looking for a project? A friend of mine is in the middle of a game buildout and parted ways with her dev because of a difference in opinion on AI slop. She's hoping to partner with someone else to get it finished. General theme is "cosy looking farm sim with a weird twist." This would be a revenue share rather than a paid gig. If this sounds like your jam, I can put you in touch.

For unknown reasons, your phone suddenly becomes immobile and indestructible, an object fixed in space relative to its surroundings. (i.e. to a local observer, it&#39;s stuck in place.) How screwed are you, and how hard will it be to use your phone in the future?

Honestly the hardest thing about admining #XOXOZone is keeping the Open Collective invoices up to date. Between the gibberish transaction names on the bank statements, and the weird conversion fees littered all over the place, balancing the checkbook feels impossible.

Taking money from shitty companies lends them your credibility while diminishing your own. This is true regardless of any official agreement about the influence that money does or does not buy. You do it at your own peril.

call me old fashioned but i&#39;m a cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters and water, adding whiskey (typically rye or bourbon) or sometimes brandy, and garnishing with an orange slice or zest and a cocktail cherry.
