I am definitely one of those who makes typos and gets mad about this but - the internet needs to get more pedantic about spelling and grammar mistakes again.

What’s big, flat, and green and if it falls from a tree on you it will kill you?

This one has been my favorite since I was single digits years old.

I used to have this yellow dress that I loved and I am pretty sure I accidentally donated it like 10 or 15 years ago, but every 6 to 10 months or so I still think about that dress.

Thank you friend for that tip, I am going to look in to this.

A no soliciting sign doesn’t stop solicitors, so I don’t see why a welcome mat should have any more power.

Here is my take - They are adding a new metric called “Engaged Views”, this is the same metric that a “View” was previously, something like - the person stayed after 30 seconds so they are “engaged”. Then they are going to sell ads based on the now inflated view number and use the “Engaged view” metric against creators so they can cut the amount they are paying for monetization.

I am using PHP as a metaphor. Like, even a script kiddie could get up a working PHP site and it doesn’t matter how spaghetti the code is - it will still run.

Even a vibe coded site can be secured, the language doesn’t matter. Shitty sites with terrible security have always and will always exist on the web. AI didn’t start this trend and we should not pretend like web development has been like this for years.

I choose NA beer for that exact reason and its been a really big tool for me to keep my sobriety. It works for some and for others it doesn’t but I am glad its available as an option for me. But had I never started drinking in the first place I would not like beer, so I am not sure why anyone would buy NA beer unless, like me, they are trying to scratch an itch that can’t be scratched like it was before.

Ok, I did the digging on this because you asked. I actually just assumed because I was carded for NA beer that this was a law.

In the US, federally it is not illegal to sell less than 0.5% without carding. But many states treat NA beer the same as normal beer and they require the person be over 21. In the states that do not require 21 and over for NA beer many (most) stores and bars will still card because its better safe than sorry when it comes to ABC and losing your license.

So even tho it might be legal, you are probably still going to get carded, except at this place I guess.

But also I am struggling to understand why someone would choose to drink NA beer if they didn’t already know what real beer was like and was trying to avoid it by getting the NA kind (like me). Like - NA beer costs the same as real beer, just buy literally anything else to drink and its cheaper.

If this store is in the US they are stupid for making this sign and they can get in quite a bit of trouble for this with ABC. NA beer is still 21 and over, its not “beer for kids”

You still have to be 21 to buy NA beer. Even if its 0.0, the stores will get in trouble for not carding.

There have been a number of vibe coded php websites that were just sitting open for anyone to look at the personal information, because no one who knew what they were doing was involved.

Re-wrote this for you for 2016.

Just saying, the web has been like this forever. The only thing AI is changing about people building insecure websites with shit code that that they look like someone talked to a designer for 10 seconds before it went up.

I can still see it while not logged in but I assume it is only a matter of time. https://old.lemmy.world/ ftw

I think if I am presented with an are you a robot captcha check box every 10 refreshes on lemmy.world for being on a VPN, that is the least we can do for bots.

I mustache them a question.

I have accounts on several instances, so I just block all the same things for each.

I did a couple things to make my life comfy here.

I changed my default sort to be “new comments” - this gave me the biggest perspective change on Lemmy, I now see where there active conversations are and it makes the place feel more full of people and less pages and pages of empty threads. I also found a lot less political stuff this way, because it gets posted a lot but people only interact with a few of the political posts, so only those one end up floating to the top. I am finding myself getting less politics this way on Lemmy than I was on reddit

I blocked Lemmy.ml and hexbear. A lot of the wilder leftist stuff comes from there and once it was blocked I saw the amount of politics in my feed drop right away.

I always opt for something you can eat or drink if they say they don’t want gifts. That way it won’t clutter anything up and you were still able to give them something. So if not the beer, some candies or maybe a tray of smoked salmon would be a good idea. Or if the place you are visiting has some type of specialty, like a local spice or fruit, maybe that.

This 100%. Everything you write on any of these chats, anything you write in email, anything you exchange digitally can be monitored if it is not end to end encrypted. People are way too ignorant about it. Just because you can’t search your chat history up on Google doesn’t mean you aren’t being tracked, recorded and monitored.

I am one of the converts from this year, still on Windows for work, but my personal set up is all Linux now. I went with Linux Mint and the transition has been seamless.
