@lydiaconwell That's your fault for not having him muted like every (other) sane person does.

@lydiaconwell Maybe they didn't like her original colour and said: “This is our chance!” Or they thought: “Mom's hair is showing her age. We should dye it” “Sure, but what colour?” “I don't know, but I like chestnut.” Or, third option, she had grown white hair and they decided to dye it in order for her not to freak out when she woke up. Problem was, they had forgotten her original colour and tried something different. That seems plausible to me. I don't pay attention to anyone's hair colour. Unless it's red. Then I do pay attention because I like it.

@johanmynhardt Honest answer: I don't know.

On one hand, they seem to have managed to monetise their products, so, at least in the short term, it seems sustainable. That said, we're not really talking about AI, so it may happen that the trend wears out, or that some system makes a catastrophic mistake and we decide it's not worth it anymore. (By ‘catastrophic’ I don't necessarily mean a nuclear accident or launching missiles, but a medical misdiagnosis or any other error that costs its company money.)

@lydiaconwell I've only been in coma for two days, so I wouldn't know, but I believe it is normal to groom people in that situation, clipping their nails and all that. It makes sense. After all, they're people, not trash.

Nobody believes me, but this article that I haven't even clicked on confirms what I've been saying all along, namely that cats are evil.

@veer66 I've been using XFS for many years now. I'm no filesystem expert, but it's always worked like a charm for me.

@jloc0 There's already an unofficial repository of packages for -current. Maybe you can talk to its maintainer if you don't want to duplicate efforts:

The best book about Ruby still is, and probably always will be, _Why's (Poignant) Guide To Ruby_:

@veer66 Well, someone did, so you don't have to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37145312

That was some time ago. Sadly, it was fixed once it became a meme.

@veer66 Have you tried asking it what countries in Africa start with the letter K?

@lydiaconwell I wouldn't say it was obvious, but it wasn't a big surprise, either. I remember enjoying the fact that, even though I knew what he was trying to do in advance, I didn't know how exactly or even if he would manage to pull it off.

Now that I think about it, that's something I enjoy that other people may not: I don't mind knowing what's meant to happen in a story. I enjoy the struggle more than the twist.

@lydiaconwell I assume you didn't quite enjoy it and, thus, that you have to watch it again, this time correctly.

@LibrosdeBabel Hay gente que dice jilipolleces y luego está este señor.

@louis@emacs.ch She really did a great job, as always.

@sachac@emacs.ch Thank you, Sacha!

@qwerty “Martha's pearl necklace”? I don't think I want to eat that.

@lebronjames75 The sides look like the Cookie Monster.
