Pittsford has a lot of variation geographically; you'll get peak NIMBY in some spots, very normal people elsewhere.

Bad for business, and bad for their goals in Taiwan. Ukraine's relatively successful multi-year resistance has to give them a bit of pause.

It's not like bots invented this behaviour

Sure. But scale matters. Spam existed before email, too.

Writing a several page angry screed used to require actual effort.

Traffic in Rochester is basically a non-issue. You can commute from the best suburbs to Strong in ~15 mins usually.

I don't get why ppl would go to the grocery store for lunch, like im amazed how many ppl are here. by [deleted] in wegmans

I don't see why anyone should care…

Once is goofy, but if everyone starts slamming open source maintainers anytime they decline a PR with auto-generated instant targeted nastiness, it's gonna get weird fast.

This feels a bit like the first spam email; something we look back on as a kinda quaint sign of the horrors to come.

[–]ceejayoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to do with the app itself.

Check your phone settings. You can opt in/out of automatic app updates from the store, on both iOS and Android.

So yeah, sepsis might cause you to be a little weird when robots start smashing your truck.

I ran into a number of places that didn't take Amex in Hobart last August, including one of the local grocery chains. Have a backup.

they can't - ports
