From what I’ve read, the concept of appeasement was buying time because Britain was in no position to do anything, which ultimately worked (I’m reminded of the quote “Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggie’ until you can find a rock.”).

However it doesn’t work if you’re not planning to do anything!

Ye gods, America, you had four years and an open-and-shut case and it wasn’t enough to get rid of the orange ghoul.

You’d hate my IDE at work. It’s bright pink.

Luckily the feck attribute is too obscure to be in the line of fire.

Amazing, I needed something like that a few months ago (and will need again in future).

Not particularly paranoid. I have clothes with my username on!

I feel like Lemmy is substantially less combative. Reddit has become so very hostile over the years and every thread felt like someone was about to start a fight. Not that there isn’t any here, but there feels like a normal amount, rather than an over-representation of people spoiling for a fight.

Odd idiom to take issue with…

I don’t think I’ve ever signed anything when a card is involved. Cheques back when they were a thing, sure, but they were all but irrelevant fifteen years ago.

The spore lore was only implemented in 1997. Before that their reproduction worked differently.

Is there a single canonical citation for this? It feels like a meme.

Which Ork models have nipples?

I can’t say my knowledge of the current range is exhaustive, but I can’t think of a single model that has one from the 1998 - 2016 era. There’s a runtherd with a piercing where a nipple would be, but no nipple.

Sounds like Dell should have kept the receipt for their office.

Now that I have a lovely HDR display, I kinda want to give this a bash. It also makes me wonder about CRT filters for non-emulated games. Fallout 2 looked amazing on a CRT, for example.

I find it an active hindrance to my work. To the point where I have written tools to read data from it via the API rather than use its infuriating interface.

I’m glad it works for you but to me it’s a bit too minimalist. Its user interface is comparable to the forums I was using in 2002. I’d rather something more akin to the ones I was using in 2006.

I use both Redmine and Jira at work. I don’t know if we’re using an older version but Redmine feels like something from 2001. Even the API for it is unpleasant.

It always puzzles me when people get “too” wrong. To me the additional O feels like it’s for emphasis. Hell, tack on a third!

Thank you! I hate how many people act like dark mode is The One True Way these days. No, I don’t want to use feckin’ dark mode, I’m sorry I don’t have your 1337 h4x0r eyes. I have shoddy astigmatism eyes and find it very uncomfortable to use dark mode.
