Apparently, uninitialized pointers can cause problems. Who knew?

.. go fuck yourself.

Long-form tweets are already available through this simple hack:
1) Type a post in a notepad app up to 1,000 characters
2) Screencap the note & paste it into a tweet as an image
3) copy/paste the actual text as the ALT-text for the image
4) add up to 240 characters in tweet body ...
6) PROFIT!

There are a LOT of milk choices, I already have to decide between Cow, Oat, Soy, Coconut, Cashew, Flax, Hemp, and Blends/Pea Protein - also unsweetened, original, chocolate, and vanilla for the plant-based options - and skim, 1%, 2%, whole, and A2 for Cow.. If I need to then scan multiple cartons with my phone (and USE MY DATA) to finalize my decision I'd be pretty annoyed.

If you have to individualize the Qcode, the cost to continue to include a human-readable date is trivial so why not both? But if you do remove the human-readable date, at least have a scanner right by the fridge so I don't have to use my own phone and data.

I do like the idea of automatic price reductions for milk nearer expiration, we go through four cartons a week here, so milk with four days to go would usually be fine.

Cap'n Rickard warned us all that this was coming, in his 1796 story "The Right to Sail."

I was taking notes, and then suddenly slapped my forehead with enlightenment. "No wonder I never get anywhere. I have only one penis!" Apparently I've been disabled all my life, but didn't find out until right now.

Einstein disapproved of this idea

Imagine being a universe, and Albert fucking Einstein, of all people, disapproves of you.

uBlock Origin works great with Firefox. Why would phones be an oddball exception?

Geez, forget all the usual security reasons. If anything, the tiny screens of phones make ad blocking particularly necessary from a basic usability viewpoint. How the hell does anyone get by not doing that? Using a phone with ads sounds like an exercise in masochism.

Um, not that there's anything wrong with that. If joe blow wants to see browse grindr looking for S&M partners, that's fine, but for fuck's sake, there's no reason they should be seeing ads.

If you're still abstaining from using uBlock Origin, you're implicitly opting into this kind of thing (since you have selected web browsers' bizarre default behavior of loading every resource that a web page references, and in the case of javascript, even executing it!).

And people knew this in 2017 too. Even back then, users opting to load ads was considered a strange and reckless decision.

If you're required to use Twitter and prohibited from using competing websites or any other means of communication, how would that not be totalitarian?!

(BTW, please don't question my stupid premise. My victimhood requires your cooperation. Thanks!)

Damn you, I'm a grammar Italian fascist, not a grammar German fascist! Why can't you people see the difference?

I, for one, welcome Slashdot Fashion. I was getting bored with tech news.

What's the logical fallacy where you set up a strawman appeal to authority, except you just made the whole thing up?

"Art."

They're abandoning C# and rewriting everything in Inform.

Great opportunity for targeted advertising if you make coal oil or cure-all polntuses or sell newspapers.

As if Firefox users ever see ads. Once you've used FF+uBlock Origin, using any other browser is as shocking and dismaying as trying to watch TV in a hotel room.
