Lavrov accused the West of using truces to re-arm Ukraine and called for agreements preventing future violations.

Russia wants time to rearm, but doesn't want the people they're attacking doing the same thing.

But seriously, having a sense of taste for the interior of one’s home does not make a person gay— it means you’re an adult with good taste. It does, however, run the risk of classifying you as “fabulous.”

"I've had loads of gay experiences. I've seen a pair of shoes and said, I have to have them! I've described a cake as 'to die for'. But I've never had the gay experience of having another man's cock in my mouth and/or bum. And I think that really is the one that counts."

- Jimmy Carr (as close as I can remember it)

This. She has the right to express her opinion, she doesn't have the right to be provided a platform or the right to require others to listen.

I'm not interested in my computer striking a balance between my needs and the needs of people seeking to manipulate me into buying things.

I paid for my computer, it serves my needs. Yes I do run Linux, how did you guess?

We didn't used to have tracking, you know? You used to just put up a billboard or put an ad in the newspaper and you just hoped it'd lead to new customers.

It's a bit weird that the advertising people implemented fine gained tracking without asking anyone and now we're just expected to pretend there's no other way for advertising to work.

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

I wrote a bit of python earlier, do I have to send you a cheque?

Well, kind of.

Linus needs to call out bad code, it's an important part of Linux's quality control. He doesn't need to tell people to kill themselves.

The impact they're hoping it'll have is people will think this isn't the right time to buy an EV so they'll keep buying Toyota gas cars. That's why Toyota is constantly in the news regarding battery tech - it's to support their fossil fuel business.

Your distro is crap, mine is awesome.

What distro do I use? I don't see how that's relevant. No, I don't need to know what you use either.

Edit: we all secretly know that Hannah Montana Linux is the best.

They do the isekai thing so then the world building happens naturally as we watch the clueless dork explore the fantasy world and encounter stuff.

Otherwise you have to find ways to explain stuff to the audience when the characters grew up in that world and should already know all about it, so don't need to discuss things.
