That’s how I look at 90% of the shit “systems” I’m forced to interact with (xiaomi’s MIUI, banking apps, govt apps, apps that should’ve been fucking websites, websites that “gently nudge” you to use the app, electron apps that are windows only)

Rust - rusts metal. When miscast, makes the target a crab of some sort

Go - Same as “command” spell

Regular Expression - makes any cryptic message understandable in a language you know

Transfer Protocol - allows the teleportation of one packet to a willing host

Read Only - cast on a book, scroll or any other thing with written words. Ensures no further words can be written. No scribbles or any sort of artwork will stick either. The object can still be destroyed

Icon - For a short period, the target of the spell becomes a beloved, or hated, icon of a subject. IE: beloved icon of beauty, hated icon of music.

Master Boot Record - this magical list contains all the master level boots ever created and their current whereabouts

Partition Table - allows any object with at least 2 flat sides to be cut into any shape

Now that’s a final boss

The last one was atomization, right? Gets a bit out of fantasy, but can definitely sound magical

Ok, disintegrate transforms you in a pile of tiny objects if you get down to 0 HP when hit

Java, verbose? laughs in Pascal

Python being Esperanto? Yeah, no, because Python is actually being used

Running water and indoor plumbing was relatively common in the ancient world.

Mostly for the rich or other well off citizens, lower classes still had to walk to a local fountain or well to get water

Did someone pass that print through some AI or something? It’s full of weird artifacts on the letters

That’s a weird way to look at dreams. To me, they’re extra entertainment with stuff that I literally cannot and will not ever experience outside of them, like another day where I dreamed I was in a rock band’s show inside a garage/arcade, but both the band and the music I was “listening” to were wholly made up in my mind

Who was the zeroth president? Or zeroth child? 🤔

I thought it was SkiiinnEEEEERRR!

Cloudflare agreed with the Brazilian govt to keep the ban working.

The whole ordeal is still going in under some secrecy, but I suspect the main parts that make it controversial are these, from the given article:

• When the inquiry began, it was from an “elastic” understanding of the internal regiment of the Supreme Court. It’s a process that, under normal circumstances, requires either a police or the Public Ministry to ask to investigate first.
• In a lone vote against opening the inquiry, judge Marco Aurelio said the process should’ve begun via the Procuradoria Geral da República
• Everything is still going under secrecy.
• There’s no definite end in sight for the investigations

The Brazilian STF has MANY flaws, chief among them of having no “power” that oversees it (the senate does, in theory, but no senator is dumb enough to fight the judiciary), but Moraes is the only son of a bitch with a sprinkle of decency (which I don’t expect to last past this “hunt” on the far right) and actually being proactive, unlike every other judge who is a morose sloth that will only react through “notas de repúdio” (notice of disapproval) that nobody gives a single flying fuck about and sit on fucking cases for over a year because there’s nobody to tell them to do their fucking job correctly*

Very important to keep in mind is the context. During the entirety of bozonazi’s presidency (2019-2022), it was a known “secret” that he used everything he could to incite people against the supreme court. The Gabinete do Ódio (Hate Cabinet), which kept the crazies “informed” with bullshit, was a fact known by everyone. Among said crazies were the fuckers that, in june 2020, fired fireworks at the STF building as a “warning”. Bozo and his flunkies threatened the supreme court every fucking week and bozo himself used a meeting with foreign dignitaries to cast doubt on the voting machines. To think all those threats were empty would be pure stupidity, especially when they culminated with the January 8 failed coup.

*Just look at Gilmar Mendes and his famous “perdido de vista” with ADI 4.650, where the old fart sat on the case for 18 months. It wanted to make it illegal for companies and corporations to finance political campaigns. The old fat fuck was in favor of keeping them legal but he knew if the judgement continued, his vote would lose, so he just sat on the case while the 2014 elections rolled with lots and lots of corporate money flowing around.

Because “it’s where people are going” - plus those two are already well known among normies, unlike mastodon/misskey/fediverse. They want a centralized thing.

Funnily enough, during this brazilian exodus, my sister complained that Threads was too “clean”, while bluesky had all the “people with questionable mental stability” and was thus more interesting.

“It’s not jibberish, it’s speaking in toooongueeees!!! Like that time the holy spirit did something with someone, it’s in the bible!! Where? You’d know if you read it!!!”

Really? Then I must’ve been taught wrong and never noticed

Why would MBS be cool with giving Elon $22 BILLION for his fuckup?

Same reason idiots kept throwing money at trump back when his resume was just a list of bankrupcies (several hotels, an airline and a casino), moneyed people are way stupider than we think.

Just you wait til Rocket Kiko knows about that and tells everything to his mom! As soon as he’s done crying on the corner…

Nah, Leon is a decent name, also that protagonist from some Resident Evil games
