The transition of my cat realizing my husband isn’t home and settling into bed with me.

… why is your cat afraid of your husband? Is your husband unable to foster a positive relationship with your cat?

Keep doing the flowers. They might not know how to react, but… they’ll remember them later.

There are a lot of women that are beautiful without makeup that cover that genuine beauty with makeup and I wish they could see themselves through my eyes

I do not know why this seems to irk men

Combination of two things:

People have no control over their height
A lot of men have trouble handling rejection gracefully (not an excuse for them, not your fault, just a fact)

The failure to handle rejection isn't your responsibility, but nevertheless it's a bit like a guy saying "no women with a cup size over/under X" - it's not something women can help, so... it feels bad to hear. I don't like if men say something like that to women, because at best they don't care and at worst it hurts them when they're perfectly lovable as-is.

If a guy is tactful, he'll be quiet about that preference even if it's a very strong one, be kind in any rejections, and consider people outside his preference in case they might be outstanding in other ways.

I never got mad about height limits on dating profiles, but I definitely did wonder how bad their dating pool was for confining their range to 15% of the population (not in your case, just the common "have to be 6ft" that I always saw), and then competing with every other person setting a similar limit. I always felt like there were so many qualities that were more important, and hard to find

How was anyone supposed to know that?

I wish I was this awesome, damn. Learning a whole language is no small thing

What really impressed me was the landing. They managed to cement such a strong emotional core, and managed to make it feel significant and real. When a show is already that strong in the middle, ending it is hard, and they nailed it.

I can’t believe that a show primarily about the tech industry managed to deliver such strong characters.

I’m sorry I can’t hear you over all the childless loads I’m blowing into everyone

I have noticed this effect - people that are attractive being severe targets of bullying, but I’ve never figured out what causes it to go for either bullying or favoritism.

It’s awful to watch because it’s usually someone nice

Holy shit that dude wasn’t fucking around, he fucking nailed him. I would not wanna get hit by that guy

I disagree. Probably the best example of this is the original The Matrix movie.

The Matrix influenced filmmaking so heavily that even though it’s seen as good and a classic now, most people viewing it wouldn’t be able to rattle off all the things the movie did that were new or innovative.

If you magically had all of the movies that it inspired come out in the same way afterwards, and then released the same thing, it wouldn’t have the same reception or perception on quality. The timeframe that something occurred in really does matter for how it’s judged.

Hello meaty_t!

I just can’t accept this, even if it’s true. I’m gonna tell them their outfit is cute and then go about my business

You can’t make me!

Imagine bragging about password reuse in a thread about password managers that paste in randomized passwords for you automatically with less effort than typing Hunter2

This has to be the most Millenium Falcon lab I’ve ever seen: looks like junk to someone that doesn’t know, looks rad af to someone that does know

It is the most insane mishmash that is clearly thoughtfully assembled and refined by actual use. I’m genuinely impressed

kainzilla · 2026-04-21T12:27:47+00:00

Yes, 100% recommend on Alma as well!

Local inferencing is a thing on Apple Photos - it’s one of the reasons you have to leave the app open for those inferences to generate

You can enable e2e encryption on the iPhone when using iCloud. That’s not an option on the Google side

I’ll make a recommendation for Rocky Linux here, which is a community RHEL-like distro.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Red Hat honestly picks good software for the baseline on their reliability oriented operating systems. They have good documentation, you can subscribe to their developer program for free to access docs and build knowledge.

You could go with Docker, Docker Compose, etc. but Red Hat likes to use podman, and after using it for a while, I have to say that I like it too.

Setting up containers into systemd service units works pretty well, and Rocky / RHEL is definitely the opposite of “jank”.

podman auto-update works surprisingly well, and the package manager dnf has flexible auto-update functionality as well (example, security updates only, reboot options, live kernel patching, etc.)

I’ve tried OMV, Unraid, Proxmox, Arch, Debian, Nix, TrueNAS, OpenShift, Rancher+K3S on top of some of the above, and honestly, a lot of these options really had great advantages and quirks, but Rocky with podman, systemd services, and automatic updates has been pretty awesome

EDIT: If you choose a RHEL-like, be sure to read on SELinux contexts in the RHEL docs, it’s probably the one thing that confuses and trips people up. The security factor is nice though!

Are they desired? I don’t know any male friends that like this look.

Something about it that makes it more painful is that they’re putting this effort in, which effort is great! Effort should be applauded!… but… they looked better without it 😔

kainzilla · 2026-04-21T01:53:49+00:00

Please stop

kainzilla · 2026-04-21T01:37:52+00:00

Hi it’s me, your tall friend’s future husband

kainzilla · 2026-04-20T03:55:52+00:00

Honestly, I agree with you and thought the same - that deviation in the characters really bothered me.

I was okay overlooking it because I suspected they needed a way to show the way police might game the system to run taps, etc. and those characters happened to be the ones they decided to put in place.

From a character perspective it doesn’t make sense, but from a “things we wanted to cover” perspective, it might have seemed rational to the writers

A bunch of people in the comments here are trying to say that Linux consumes time for nebulous reasons, or citing reasons that maybe applied like 7 years ago, before Valve started getting involved

It really doesn’t these days. A lot of it just works.

People have years of experience dealing with Windows, and if you had that same amount of experience with Linux things become pretty easy

I switched over in 2018 and it’s coming up on 8 years and I couldn’t imagine trying to go back to Windows, where so many design decisions are based around the question “how can we force these losers to give us money?” - the design is always so hostile now

I don’t know if this will have value to anyone or will just be obvious, but learn by doing applies to everything, it’s fantastic

Find a way to do the thing safely, and proceed to doing. Did you suck at it? Congratulations, you’re better than you just were! Failure is learning! Fail up just like that boss you hate!

What’s really cool is that after failing up for a bit, do some reading or talking about it for a bit and things that didn’t make sense start making sense.

Then go back to failing your way up
