That requires friction between fingers and bag to be higher than friction between the two sides of the plastic bag, and for me it never is

The difference is that this hole contains a lot more E. Coli and my nose has evolved to be extremely sensitive to the smell of it because of the biohazard

I’m confused. Who is supposed to enjoy it, the licker or the lickee? It just seems like a nasty experience for everyone involved, especially with the enema I would require to get near the poop hole with my tongue.

The plastic bag is folded on the sides. I have much more success if I start by pulling there, than attacking the opening directly. Hard to explain but you’ll figure it out.

Meanwhile in Sweden, my contract says three months notice on the part of the employee and six months on the part of the employee.

I’m not talking about feminists who actually know their stuff (such as most - but not all - who make podcasts on the subject). Those are niche subcultures. I’m talking about the self-proclaimed feminists on social media like TikTok, Instagram, or the comment sections on Reddit and Facebook. The people that the general public comes in contact with and who shape the meaning of our language. Your attempt at gatekeeping kind of underscores my point.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Under some older meaning of feminist sure, but 90% of the people who claim to be feminist these days think of it solely as giving women more privilege, and any discussion of men’s issues is considered anti-feminist. Whatever meaning of equality that there used to be is all but lost.

I’m scared to post this because people will interpret it as me being misogynistic. And that fact, IMO, is the biggest problem that men face. We’re not allowed by society to be victims.

I was using this a lot to read stuff on my Kobo e-reader, and I’m sorely going to miss that feature. There’s no replacement unless Kobo puts out a huge firmware update.

I’m thinking of file compressoin formats like Zip, LHA and ARJ, which would work particularly well if the image was not dithered and used run-length encoding (e.g. the PIC format of the Atari ST). The PNG format still uses the deflate algorithm which is essentially identical to the compression used by PKZip in 1991.
- Comment on this post is just 42kib 5 weeks ago:
At the time when dithering was commonly used to achieve the illusion of more available colors, i.e. the 80s and the first half of the 90s.
- Comment on this post is just 42kib 5 weeks ago:
It’s really only helpful for formats that will be directly read by hardware (the video chip) and where the “compression” ratio (I would prefer the term quantization) needs to be fixed. For file compression, which was quite mature but CPU- and memory-intensive at the time, the dithering only makes it more difficult to compress further.

Why are people who make questionnaires so bad at making questionnaires? It’s baffling. This is particularly glaring but I always find stupid errors or assumptions like this.

- Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 1 month ago:
I think such projects don’t exist precisely because Mozilla is still developing it. If Mozilla abandons Firefox then someone else will take up the torch.
- Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 1 month ago:
I believe the Firefox development organization could be a lot leaner, and not all of the work has to be directly salaried. There are plenty of huge open source projects that are progressing fine without being run by a single for-profit company. E.g. the Apache ecosystem, the Linux foundation projects, FreeBSD, etc.
