My brain needs to chill out.
I watched a video complaining about all the rising food costs in the #usa and noticed the person complaining was really big.
Then immediately thought - "Well maybe the rising food costs are a good thing for the 73% of Americans who are obese or overweight." Then horror laughed to myself for a few minutes.
I do think it's a bad thing, especially for poor families.
But maybe MONEY will finally solve the #obesity issue. Replace it with STARVATION!
Hot take, If you develop for cloud environments you need to get used to a default deny on egress and only allow dependencies to be pulled during the build phase. You should know exactly what is talking to where and why. allow all on egress is the equivalent to I chmod 777'd it and it works so whatever...
Hot take: the Metric System is bad compared to the Imperial system because it is based off of base 10.
Seriously.
The prime divisors of 10 are 2 and 5. People routinely divide quantities in half all the time, but when was the last time you divided something into fifths? Hell, dividing something into *thirds* is far more common, and metric forces you to use a frikking repeating decimal!
Imperial, for all its warts, is set up for halves, thirds, fourths, etc much more conveniently.
#HotTake: Every #human should be entitled by international #law to free, unseizeable #ID documents in the form of a travel #passport to evidence their #identity and have #FreedomOfMovement as well as a chance to #flee.
Why?
The FBI is launching an investigation against #trump and I have nothing more to say except -
I hope he gets thrown in fucking prison.
Creating your own personal #Slack emoji with your picture on it is pretentious as hell.
The only reason one doesn't get a new #GraphicsCard at #MSRP is because people don't refuse to buy!
Behold the latest hot take: deploying from local to production is now a groundbreaking feat! Because nobody ever thought of using #GitHub for self-hosting before...

Störend bis nervig:

#politics #hottake Maybe instead of #democratic Hakeem Jeferies did his god damn job and not going around in his pathetic #booktour and be like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Jasmine Crokette and educating the people on how to fight back oligarchy, fascism, racism, xenophobia, and homophobia, he would actually be a good example of what #democrats should be doing.
Is a hot take that is called hot take by the author himself a real hot take?
#hottake #humaniod #robots are a nonsense idea. Why would we build a #robot that is a #technology recreation of our own limited form, when we can build what ever we want suited to the environment and task. It seems to me that a box on wheeles/feet/tracks with the right manipulators on board will just be more efficient in 98% of cases. #robotics #human
Vymenit Fica za Matovica je ako chranit prirodu kupou Tesly.
@juergen_hubert hat eine #Sonntagsfrage auf Mastodon-Umfrage gestartet:
https://mementomori.social/@juergen_hubert/113989959098355649
Zwischenergebnis bei bisher ca. 2000 abgegebenen Stimmen: Grüne und Linke zusammen bei 86%.
Das ist nicht überraschend aber aus meiner Sicht für die Plattform problematisch, denn es zeigt, dass ein großer Teil des gesellschaftlichen Diskurses hier *nicht* stattfindet – und damit die Plattform leicht (aber zu unrecht) als "nicht relevant" wahrgenommen/geframed werden kann.
People who smuggly claim to have "no idea what I could use AI for" are as uncreative as they claim LLMs are.
@letterror @Luke Tell that the vinyl cutter. Etc.
#HotTake: leaving such unnecessary loops in a font is sloppy.
I see these issues everywhere, and as long as it is not solved on the software side, I try to minimize loops or hide them as good as possible.
Sure, one can flatten fonts in print design, but when animating variable fonts with an outline, this won’t work.
Hot physics take: Max Planck did more to advance physics than Albert Einstein.

I create a dozen examples of #HotTake #PosterArt every day.
Sometimes, I post ones that resonate more than others via @inaniludibrio.com.
Thinking I should just curate and share out a newsletter.
Would you be interested?
