@beardalaxy If that's the case then people should be saying "bless you" when someone coughs, and coughing is much more dangerous than sneezing.

Saying "bless you" after someone else sneezes is superstition, not manners. It's a remnant from a time when people thought someone was losing their soul when they sneeze.

Let it die.

>Drew DeVault is now going after Louis Rossmann

Honestly, I don't know much about Louis Rossmann to have an opinion on him, but given his huge audience, I would love for him to roast that motherfucker into the ground.

@cjd @k1tteh Basically, a lot of businesses aren't even aware that it is legal so many if not most businesses won't hire you or do business with you if they are legally required proof of identification.

It's possible to live without a SSN but you need to do a lot of research and find ways to make a living, do banking, and find alternative ways of getting healthcare coverage (or just paying out of pocket).

@cjd @k1tteh People without SSNs are generally locked to doing self-employments jobs or working under the table. Also, you need to find a bank or credit union that accepts other forms of identification such as a passport, but that assumes that you want to store money in a bank in the first place. As for healthcare, you are pretty much locked out of most health insurance providers, but alternatives exist like healthcare sharing ministries. Emergency rooms, by law, are not allowed to deny service if you don't have a SSN.

@djsumdog It's fine for templates, but not the entire website. I like how at least ChatGPT never puts any third-party JS or CSS in the templates. Go to any site offering HTML5 templates, I assure you that 99% of them include third-party JS or CSS from the likes of Google and Meta.

I vibe-coded the HTML layout for the website for my game studio. You may notice that the site uses tables for layout, but that's because I explicitly told it to give it an early 2000s feel.

Is there any particular hardware that you would like to have access to for testing Haiku?

I ask because I come across quite a bit of old hardware in my line of work and could keep my eyes open for anything you are wanting for physical testing.

高校時代に作ったこれ、言い表せない何らかの「魔力」を帯びてると思ってる 今のおれには生み出せない、見る手を惹きつけて高揚させるなんらかの魔力……

@cjd @k1tteh People don't realize that it's possible (and legal) to live without a social security number even though it's extremely difficult. I'm pretty sure the same will be said with digital IDs.

As I'm screwing with a device trying to get wifi working, it occurs to me: Why are we still dutifully setting MAC addresses from flash rather than letting the ethernet card take a random one?

MAC addresses are the fucking Digital ID that everyone keeps railing against, the thing is written in the factory, it's logged in the DB, so it's connected to your identity when you buy the device, then it's being emitted out on any LAN you connect to.

Ppl have the right to do things you find distasteful or offensive.

Group can't be A and B because A and B are opposites or otherwise mutually exclusive.

This argument doesn't work because not every identifiable group is perfectly homogenous. X% of doctors can be twisted sadists even if the vast majority are excellent in every way.
