Sundray@lemmus.orgOPto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL about a bookmarklet that takes you directly to a YouTube video's thumbnailEnglish3·5 months agoSorry, I wasn’t able to find a way to do what DeArrow does. I found some code for one here: https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Community#Bookmarklets
But when I tried it, I got “server refused to generate thumbnail.” Not sure how to go about fixing it, I’m a bit out of my depth :(

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Contemplating the jorb.
No worries, it’s been a rough week.
Bacon is the title of the daily comic strip this panel comes from. The joke is that the cactus on the left has its “arms” (branches?) point up, as most cacti do, and is looking at the cactus on the right with its arms down, and that cactus on the right is explaining that, as a cactus, it doesn’t really have any other way to show how it feels.
I don’t think you’re missing anything, it’s not super-duper funny – just a little silly 😊 .

But after looking up I can understand your concern. It seems to be one of those otherwise innocuous phrases that’s been co-opted by miscreants.
There’s an old saying that goes, “One is the loneliest number.” Non-programmers usually start counting at one, making it the first number in the count.
Programmers generally have to start counting at 0. So to them, the first number is 0. So the joke is that a non-programmer would say “one is the loneliest number” a programmer would say “zero is the loneliest number” because the numbers they start with when counting are different.

Trump supported congressional Republican repeal-and-replace efforts, but they ultimately failed. One example is the American Health Care Act, a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act subsidies and regulations that the House passed in May 2017, but failed to pass in the Senate. In June 2020, Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block the law, but the court dismissed the case.
The reason he failed in his first term is because the legislation died in the Senate, and the legal challenge died in the Supreme Court – which are both now overwhelmingly Republican.
But you knew that. In which case you’re being disingenuous. Or you didn’t. In which case you are lazy and ignorant. In either case it’s pretty clear that your only goal here is to waste my time. I’m through teaching Civics 101 for the day.
Because programmers start counting at 0! 😆
Ok, that was funnier in my head…

You may continue to believe one person’s suffering is more important than another, and you can try to shout down anyone expressing any fears you personally don’t “vibe” with. I’m not going to tone police you. But someday, you might find yourself needing to speak out, and I hope you meet someone like yourself when that happens. I’m sure you’ll feel grateful to them.

You can’t know that. If you don’t want to hear people’s despair, that’s fine, block it. But don’t pretend that has anything to do with some supposedly “fine” future – just be upfront about the fact that you don’t care. Might as well; uncaring people are doing pretty well for themselves these days.

They will lose access to food aid when the federal entitlement programs are gutted.
Suffering is not a competition. Your broken leg doesn’t heal my broken arm.
You find our laments annoying? Hold on sunshine, because we’re just getting started.
Not totally related, but even though it’s tempting to kick those cube-shaped HP MicroServers across the datacenter, they’re actually a lot more dense than they look.
*sigh*
0 is the loneliest number :(
