Happy Amazon Prime Day! Amazon collects mountains of data about how you use the service, but there is a setting you can change to make it harder for the company to use that data to sell you more things. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Omg what they don't tell you? I will be hypervigilent.

Nord decided to keep Meshnet after I already moved to Tailscale.
Good for them, though. Especially open sourcing it.

Yeah, haha you're not the first person to ask. I actually thought it was too obvious of a reference when I first came up with it, but I guess it's not so bad.

They had to cut him open to get little red and granny out. Then they filled him with rocks and sewed him back up. When he got up to go get some water, the rocks get displaced and he falls into the river and sinks to the bottom. 😂 It's certainly an ending. L

See, I was so sure I read it wrong that I basically forgot that anything can happen in a folktale, but yeah, they filled that bad boy with rocks and lived happily ever after, I guess. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

It seems to say that grandma, who has been bedridden this entire story, was so shocked by being eaten by the wolf... That it... Cured her illness and now she can not only move but get out of the wolf's stomach by herself...
I'm like... There is no way.
So I click translate, because, what: (2/3)

Reading in your second language is funny because when something wild happened, you often think "no, I misunderstood that for sure" rather than that it says something insane.
I'm reading Little Red Riding Hood, because of course I am, and I read this:

Yeah, when I was sent the article, by first thought was, I spent much life contemplating and NEVER ONCE did it involve hanging from a tree
It wouldn't have even occurred to me to do something so disrespectful to my entire race AND that would worry so many people about their safety.
It doesn't add up

Thanks to your support on Friday, Isabella will receive everything she needs. She is now in fospice, a foster home that will care for her until the end of her life. This home comes with 3 siblings, only one of whom is unsure about this arrangement ❤️‍🩹 @stumptownstrays.bsky.social

Isabella is being held like a baby on a vet tech's hip. she looks at the camera with a closed mouth smirk and wide eyes.

Isabella is sitting on a front porch next to three different dogs. they all look into the camera with slightly different expressions.

a white/mixed colored dog sits at the top of the couch next to Isabella. they both stare into the camera. Isabella has a slight closed mouth smirk on her face.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but black people don't hang themselves from trees, actually.
Maybe check again, or something, but that cannot be what happened.
I don't believe that for a second, if I'm being honest.

At dinner at hacker summer camp:
"Have you heard of Lintile?"
"No, what's that?"
"Lintile is a person"
Followed by a video of a cool drink pouring device.

"What's up?"
"Just the new BTC call for volunteers"
"OMG it's out!?"
"Heck yeah, sign up below!"

"OK, but I remember last year that the safety form was somewhere else? Can you link it?"
"Actually, we combined them into one form this year, you just have to fill out which you want to do."
"凄いですね！"

Oh yes I do love that one 😂
OP in this same thread was like 'what if I go running at -40? Edit: sorry I should have said celcius"
And all the comments are like "actually you don't need to apologize" 😂 😂 😂 😂

And 15C is 59F fwiw.
It still takes a bit of effort to remember them but it's good to know I can figure it out if I ever actually need to. So far I'm only up to 45C/113F though (and only down to -5C/23F)

Some extra facts:
Accidently pasted his name into Google Translate while trying to identify a Pokémon name (turned out to be cyndaquil) it thought it was Raven.
I'm just saying, that's 2 for birds, 0 for halfaplants.
Easy to understand so far, but this is my second Pokémon
