This was actually my life a few years ago.

I was hardening our applications to stop scraping and automation bots.

Then contributing to open-source to have better scraping and automation.

I wasn’t purposely creating loop holes or anything because that’s highly illegal. It’s about making sure both sides “play nice”, because the automation bots are frequently used by spammers/evildoers.

It’s wild that there’s so many stupid people who seem to have forgot what kind of shit Trump pulled during his administration.

I was laugh-crying when the EU made that comment about the fate of the world being on some rando US state.

America needs to be downgraded in terms of reputation. We aren’t protectors of the world, we can barely help ourselves.

As someone who lives here:

This is real.

During jury duty, we got all sorts of shit for even whispering which court room we are going to. We were all numbers and even addressed ourselves as a number. And we were threatened repeatedly with fines and prison sentences.

This motherfucker gets to say whatever the fuck he wants and gets a bunch of verbal warnings and finger wagging.

This is why we lose trust in various govt systems

Because there is enjoyment from watching people suffer. Probably a German word

Looks like we share a cat!

Is there a way to shut down or loudly announce the move for new posters? Like changing the name of the community?

When searching for a new community, I hate when I see 3 or 4 versions of the same topic and I just pick one at random. Uncertain if I’m part of a dead one or not.

Distilled water does not have chlorine!

With kimchi, I used very little water (only the amount the recipe suggests). The veggies I use( Chinese cabbage) contains a lot of water naturally and my batch always overflows once fermentation happens.

#3 is accurate! I absolutely eyeballed my salt and hot sauce and did not do things correctly.

Then Surprised Pikachu face when it got moldy.

I absolutely took a in-person workshop and then watched a dozen YouTube videos.

My first batch was awful. Like putrid and rancid.

My second one was edible!

Yep! That was my next action! :-)

Asus 202c from 2016. They’re EoL, so they don’t get chrome OS updates. Which means the Play Store is also outdated.

Overall, they’re pretty nifty. Battery life is still solid. Keyboard and case is pretty durable.

I actually have a few of these chromebooks! (You can buy them from schools) I’ve reformatted one with Linux. Another is Chromebook + side loaded for coding. This one is just for browsing and taking notes.

But just the thought that some old person buying a computer and going, “Lemme pick up these Google Things that are $100” only to end up with these errors makes me sad.
