    I have cut my lips twice on these fuckers. Also just this week while pouring milk, the cap somehow slipped right under the stream and spilled the milk everywhere.

    Who loses their bottlecap?

    Also this makes it harder for kids to drink from bottles, since they can’t put their whole mouth around.

    I hate these shit stains with a passion.

    I am 99% sure, thia was all just a PR stunt by some bottle company. If they really wanted to do something for the environment, they would go for glass bottles again, since they can be recycled forever.


  • Now what most people don’t know is that websites can insert arbitrary text when you copy stuff of them. A malicious site will abuse that.

    It works like that:

    You follow a tutorial online or search for a code snippet. You copy some code/said snippet and paste it into a terminal or the browser command line. This copied text is altered by the site to be a one line command to install malware or grab passwords or cookies. All of that is followed by a line break and maybe your real command to lower suspicion.

    Some of the terminal or browser shells interpret a line break in the copied text as enter which then executes the command.

    To prevent that, get a shell, that doesn’t just execute what you paste (fish shell) or a terminal program, that warns you about line breaks (Moba xterm).
    And please check text from unknown sites before pasting it into a program that may execute it right away. (Just paste it into a text editor or look at your clipboard manager like Win+V in windows)


  • Well chrome should, yes. But they don’t.
    Then some JavaScript framework developers think “well this non-standard feature is neat, let’s use that everywhere” and then companies who use their framework (or a framwork dependent on it) can’t support all browsers.

    It’s a multilayered problem (as always) with lots of individually decisions that make sense, but don’t work out in the end (as always).






  • Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

    1. Embrace:

    They implement ActivityPub and connect to all the available servers. A load of new users will see the content here and all the communities here will be absolutely flooded with new content and users.

    2. Extend:

    ActivityPub will be extended. Many new features will be added, that don’t really match the standard, but they are mostly useful so some developers will try to add them to let’s say Lemmy. They won’t be blr to develop new features on their own and some stuff with threads will always be broken or half baked. Threads users will belittle the users here, some will maybe go there, cause it just works and is otherwise the same.
    New users at the same time will most likely go directly to threads cause it’s backed by a giant company, always works and has more features.

    3. Extinguish:

    They will cut the federation.
    Communities here will feel empty and most users will just leave. Only the hard core will stay and that won’t be sustainable. The fediverse becomes even less attractive for new users and will devolve into a niche community.
