If you’re running a place like this, you’re likely to want to reduce your liability risk as much as possible, I imagine. Doubly so in as litigious a country as the USA.

You don’t think it might be an F7A?

I’m confused, what was the injury? Did you launch the rock into the air and it came straight back down?

Happy Indepedence Day! Because you can write “independence” without three Ns!

…to relocate to one of our finest remaining canine centers. I thought so much of Doggy Daycare that I elected to establish my Pack here, in the Play Room so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call Doggy Daycare my home.

And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to Doggy Daycare. It’s safer here.

The eraser is as long as [ 0.01 ] giraffes.

I’ve seen people dismiss this as purely praise for Slater (about whom I know nothing), but it’s very hard not to read these statements from the tweet:

Great pick by @realDonaldTrump.

He likes that Gail Slater was given a prominent role. Fair enough – the ping of Trump’s account seems pandering, but it’s not exactly a million-dollar donation to his inauguration.

10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.

Implies Republicans look to promote small businesses against tech monopolies. Demonstrably not the case.

People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

Suggests the Trump Admin are the bastions against Silicon Valley giants. Completely laughable.

I can’t think of a single company worse at naming products and services than Microsoft. They have an abysmal track record. Some examples off the top of my head, all of which make web searches near-impossible:

• They renamed Office 365 to just “365” (and then “365 Copilot”). The mind boggles.
• They named their light extensible code editor “Visual Studio Code”, despite the fact that they had a long-established IDE (for code) called “Visual Studio”.
• They called their application framework “the .NET framework”.
• They called the replacement framework “.NET Core”, and after a few major versions, changed to calling it “.NET”, but it’s totally distinct from the .NET framework.
• They called their ninth major desktop operating system “Windows 7”, then followed up with “Windows 8” and… “Windows 10”.
• Their native web app replacement for Outlook is called “New Outlook”.
• They recently renamed their Remote Desktop app “Windows App”. I have no words.

They didn’t make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks.

Just to be clear for others, it did so at a crossing. That’s still obviously not what it should have done and it’s no defence of the self-driving feature, but I read your comment as suggesting it had found its way onto train tracks by some other route.

My best efforts from the script, but it ultimately goes to show that you’re right:

• Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t be long.
• That’s enough music for now, lads. Looks like there’s dirty work afoot.
• Well, this is the main hall. We’re going to have all this knocked through, and made into one big living room.

Insufficient data!

Was the bench around a corner or jutting out? Was the boy part of a crowd that obscured the bench? Is the bench somehow camouflaged? Is it static and stationary?

Is the boy fully sighted? Is it dark? Did someone distract him? Was he panicked by someone? Could he have deliberately run into it?

There’s meant to be an internal rhyme there, as in “take one down and pass it around”. I suggest “tinker a bit, push a commit”.

Also, “programming code”? I’d go with “legacy app” or “code monolith” or something.

And let’s also change “92” and “99” to be make the refactor comprehensive.

Tell the iPhone that the output isn’t headphones and it’ll stop warning you. Plug it in, then head to Settings -> Sound and Haptics -> Headphone Safety -> USB Audio Accessories.

Unrelated to hoist as in to lift, despite similarities

It’s exactly the same word, as I understand it – in this sense, thrown into the air rather than lifted into the air. We’ve started using the past participle as the present tense, and created “hoisted” to fill the gap, and the violent/uncontrolled sense of the word is now archaic.

This is the dumbest comment I’ve read all day but I’ve been chuckling about it for a good couple of minutes.

they want the ability it provides to die.

Terminal Server licensing will be bringing them in a tidy amount of money from on-prem enterprises, but it’s true that Windows App has a heavy focus on Azure and will definitely be aiming to push people in that direction - it can’t even connect to remote Windows PCs.

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world would also be appropriate, though the mods might disagree.
