This American Life and Heavyweight

Two-horse chariot races (bigae) were held in the Campus Martius, the area of Rome named for Mars, after which the right-hand horse of the winning team was transfixed by a spear, then sacrificed. The horse’s head (caput) and tail (cauda) were cut off and used separately in the two subsequent parts of the ceremonies: two neighborhoods staged a fight for the right to display the head, and the freshly bloodied cauda was carried to the Regia for sprinkling the sacred hearth of Rome.

Alrighty then

Usually it is? But ultimately it’s still your own responsibility. You did not pay the dev, the dev does not ask you to pay them, ergo the dev owes you diddly squad.

Malware is not usually open source.

I disagree, in neither scenario the open source dev owes him anything. You get to use and modify the software for free, but the flip side is you are entitled to nothing.

I think I had that one as well. With the fireworks and everything? Yikes dawg…

That actually works better.

Yep, dat werkte, dank! Maf dat dat niet standaard is.

Much appreciated Bucky, I’ll give that a shot and will report back.

Edit: worked like a charm!

Potentially related, not sure: does anyone know how I can get touchscreen scrolling working in Firefox on a fresh Ubuntu 23.10 install? Currently it’s just selecting text and it’s driving me up the proverbial wall. Googling was unsuccessful.

Well said, fartsparkles

Bit out of the loop here. Can any kind soul clue me in on why there’s an uptick in beef stroganoff posts recently?

Grrrregnant!

To be fair, I’ve stored people in my contacts like this if I did not know their last name. Dan Bugguy, wherever you are, hope life’s been treating you well.

“oh well lmao”

The “translator” was probably just some hapless programmer who fed it to ChatGPT, and does not speak a word of German nor gets paid enough to check.

Same here. No longer on Reddit every day since I deleted Relay from my phone. But I do still tack “Reddit” at the end of my searches since it makes my searches much, much more useful.

Whenever someone calls something “socialist”, ask them to explain socialism to you and watch their argument fold like a wet blanket. They usually have no idea. In fact, many would love a healthy dose of Northern European socialism in their lives, as long as you call it “Owningthelibism” or something.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Found this open source, docker based, self hosted app for editing PDFs a few months ago. Works well enough for basic operations the last time I tried it (though not sure if it can delete columns from tables): https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF

Figured I’d post the link here in case it helps you or anyone else.
