https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tit_(bird)

The tits, chickadees, and titmice constitute the Paridae, a family of small passerine birds which occur mainly in the Northern Hemisphere and Africa. Many were formerly classified in the genus Parus.

Eurasian and African members of this family are referred to as “tits”, while North American species are called either “chickadees” (onomatopoeic, derived from their distinctive “chick-a dee dee dee” alarm call)1 or “titmouses”, the latter being an older name that was used for all tits. The name titmouse is recorded from the 14th century, composed of the Old English name for the bird, mase (Proto-Germanic *maison, Dutch mees, German Meise), and tit, denoting something small. The former spelling, “titmose”, was influenced by mouse in the 16th century.2 Emigrants to New Zealand presumably identified some of the superficially similar birds of the genus Petroica of the family Petroicidae, the Australian robins, as members of the tit family, giving them the title tomtit, although, in fact, they are not related.

I like Komodo, it’s reliable and it has a lot of nice features. I previously used DockGE

I’ve also heard people use Arcane but I didn’t give that a fair try before settling on Komodo so I can’t judge

The alternatives have been better for a while now

This was a problem in !selfhosted@lemmy.world and they’ve done a good job of dealing with it. You could take a look at that past discussion to see what worked / what didn’t.

IMO there is an organized effort behind some of these new accounts pushing AI projects, and you need to deal with it in some form to stop them from coming

Not much, what about you?

Based on the other reply

Me after I give someone access to my email address and tell them to email someone sarcastically and they do so

I think stuff like urban planning and designing walkable environments would be cool, but I’m not sure if that’s a viable path in 2027 and beyond

Without knowing that much about the field, I would think that urban design should stick around long into the future. Those projects take decades to complete, and there’s always new cities and developments.

Even if the US is currently drinking the stupid juice when it comes to what makes a good city, either that will change soon or you can apply your skills to projects outside of the US

the people at the top of the field are too much of an asshat to know that what they do is broken and causing people to need unions

Isn’t that the case with almost every field?

Unless the people at the top have an incentive to keep the field healthy, they’re not going to bother to do it. That’s why regulations, regulatory boards, and unions are helpful

I think the point of the meme is that it’s a silly premise, and few people actually believe things like this

Maybe they get a spa day too

Would you have a source on that? I’m curious because this post implies that he doesn’t want to be there

She is using the gravitational pull of three or more celestial bodies

Is there more context on what this is or what was happening?

IMO that’s not the issue

The issue is the lack of safeguards. In our rush to call out the dad based on the headline, we shouldn’t let Google and the banks off the hook. The dad should have set limits on the card/account and paid closer attention to the kid’s view/ad activities, but both google and the banks benefitted from the poor design/usability issues that led to this.

EDIT: Since it was the company card, maybe the dad couldn’t have set limits on there. He used the company card on an older purchase, and since it was tied to his account, google offered the card as a payment option when the kid went to boost his ad. While I’m at it, screw the advertising industry that made YouTube into the mess it is now.

As for this bit

why is a 9 year old even allowed to post to YouTube

I remember about 15 years ago, a lot of kids wanted to post gameplay videos and music/art they made to YouTube. Some parents handled that poorly yes, but others took the time to watch the videos and approve them before anything was uploaded.

Kids want to explore their interests and it can be healthy to explore it with them, and teach them things along the way. Telling them no outright might push them to do it anyway, but this time without supervision.

I’m not sure how it compares, it all tastes like cheese to me 😄

These laws are more about protecting local industries rather than anything that’s wrong with foreign cheeses. Well, it helps against risky american food products when outbreaks happen.

Another fun fact, Canada does this to foreign cheeses (among a few other things). Its a topic of debate right now when discussing trade deals with other countries

I might try making a meme about that using this comic, if that’s ok :)

Oh ew

They might not even be from toilet paper. People buy cardboard tubes for crafts, and it’s possible this person has a bunch left over after a project: https://www.michaels.com/product/12-pack-cardboard-tubes-for-crafts-319186376196276228

Seems more plausible than if someone has been collecting toilet paper roles in order to sell them for super cheap

If we had more time, then you could have sent back the lotto numbers from 5 years ago
