His name's Bud. He's wearing a backwards cap and plaid. It's the 90's all right.
Also, "paparazzi" is plural. The singular is "paparazzo".
By the way, hand-drawn illustrations are still the norm in taxonomy papers for many taxa (at least, the ones that concern me) so in that regard the movie is pretty accurate

Google's recent move to block de-Googled Android phones from reCAPTCHA is the first thing that's making me actually reconsider my LineageOS setup. Up to now the most annoying thing has been baseball/basketball games where they insist you *must* install the app, but then you can just show up and say "the app doesn't work on my phone" and they'll shunt you off to a separate line where you end up with a ticket on a website. (If it worked on a website, why in the hell did I have to install an app??)
Other examples are parking payment apps, ridesharing apps, ticketing apps, etc. But I've just relied on either 1) the company having some neglected mobile webapp (like Uber does) or 2) the company assuming there is some percentage of boomers with old/broken phones where the app won't run. Maybe those days are ending, and we're tending toward a China-like future where you have to run some all-encompassing all-surveilling super-app, but I was really hoping it wouldn't happen so soon.

@marcozehe I have very complicated thoughts.
I generally like Matrix (and, well, I'm also the de-facto admin of the mozilla matrix server these days), so I'm not gonna pretend like IRC is better than Matrix. IRC has problems, and IRC has a lot of problems.
But also, yeah, Matrix has problems, and those hurt. A lot.
sorry i didn't realize at first that:
(1) this is obviously not a bug
(2) mastodon is making a formatting policy decision
(3) how is there no FEP for "the literal fucking input box"
is this technically not "breaking the web" because user input is not considered an API????????

Totally unsurprising that the religious nuts of the east wouldn't submit to the wishes of the massive child rapist of the west, who got his prostate tickling after invading Venezuela and kidnapping Maduro, and thought that he could go on with the rampage pillaging Iran, starting with the war crime of murdering 150 girls who were at chool.
Some people would rather see the world burn before submitting themselves before the yank nazis and mobsters.
I don't like the religious nuts at all, but you can't say that their logic is inconsistent or unexpected.

Always loved this Australian protest song...
Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning
@mastodonmigration Treaty by Yothu Yindi is another powerful historically important Australian protest song. It was an incredible moment to recently hear them play it at the signing of Australia’s first government treaty with Indigenous nations in Victoria

a great article by @thisismissem@hachyderm.io on going beyond binary approach to federation...
" > However, we've been presented with a false dichotomy here: we don't need to operate in a world where we either allow everything until blocked, or block everything until we allow it. There are other ways that we can look at federation management. Some of these include Consent Based Federation, where a moderator or administrator has to review and approve a server before accepting federation (or denying it), or models that resemble a firewall on a computer or server: you'd don't just have to accept or deny federation, but you can also apply filters to the federation between your server and another."
