  In a fair fight it will win.

  That is a chunk of wisdom right there. Applicable well beyond mere cats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I see a lot of people complaining about the term “quiet quitting.” In this thread there are people saying that that’s exactly what they want in a job, that that’s what they’ve been doing since before the term existed, etc…

  I’m curious what other succinct terms people would use to describe the act of doing the bare minimum and not engaging beyond what is required and asked for.

  I’m asking because I also dislike the term “quiet quitting”, and I know such an activity has existed forever. At the same time it does seem useful because I can’t think of a succinct way to describe what it explicitly describes. In the past it seems like such a behavior was implicit, but with modern “engagement” and “hustle” and “110%” work culture, it seems like we need a more explicit term.

  So, is there another term we can use that people don’t hate as much?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't really know how to deal with coworkers who emotionally dump their issues on me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I would have no problem interrupting them with “I’m sorry, can we talk about something else?” and if they continued to ramble I would just ignore them or respond with obviously disinterested comments like “no way”, “you don’t say”, “that’s crazy”, etc…

  Honestly though, I’d be interested to hear what girls would say to this because they probably deal with this a lot.

  And doesn’t require a trip out. And eliminates the ongoing cost of haircuts.

  Bankston did it first. I wouldn’t be surprised if several people before him had done it too, but he’s the first I’ve heard of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With public key cryptography, why can't someone decrypt a message using the public key?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Public key cryptography is a bit like a one of those blue public mailboxes. There is an input slot where anybody can drop something in, but only people with the private key can open the door to get things out. You can’t run that input in reverse because the gravity and mechanics of the slot do not allow that to happen. The same thing exists mathematically for public key cryptography.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t. People use non-proprietary tools to repair proprietary things all the time. Screwdrivers and hammers and soldering irons all are open tools that are used to build and maintain proprietary physical objects. I can’t see any irony in it because I can’t see it any other way. Imagine that GM built cars using only tools that were hidden behind a trade secret. Seems far fetched, doesn’t it? It does to me at any rate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess if you think it’s ironic then you do you. I’ve been using OSS software to make proprietary OSes not suck for almost 3 decades, and that’s exactly one of the things I expect it to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Irony (noun) … 3: Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.

  How is that ironic? It seems like exactly what I would expect: open source software prioritizing human wellbeing instead of corporate profits.

  Battery charged trimmer lets you shower and trim, which is pretty awesome.
