You also noticed he's suddenly talking about securing rare earths every day now? I'm hoping someone asks him why they're so important because he clearly doesn't know what they are, and is just following orders from Twitler.

I'm also confused about the anonymous interview scenario. Does this actually occur enough to require a complex rule?

If we're using text, why use accents instead of just labelling the text as "Participant A", or similar, like we already do for subtitles when disambiguation is required?

If we're using voices morphed to sound the same, could we similarly have a visual indicator of who is talking? If no visuals are possible, use different morphs so they sound different. If that's not possible, just conduct the interview by addressing participants with their pseudonym so we know which response to expect. Like anyone would naturally do.

This feels like a solution looking for a problem.

In Australian English we have an instinct for acceptable ways to end abbreviations, but I couldn't tell you what the rules are, exactly.

For example, "povo" is obviously right for "poverty", and could never be "povy". But, "sparky" is right for an electrician, not "sparko".

It's not because of familiarity, because we know we naturally invent these abbreviations all the time with no resistance, as long as the unknowable rule is followed.

For now, I'll ignore the eternal debate surrounding parmigiana.

As an Australian, I have no idea how my country would respond to this officially. The US alliance is basically our entire defence strategy, and we have fostered that by supporting the US in every conflict they're involved in. On the other hand, we could never go against another Commonwealth nation. The cultural weight is too great.

Perhaps the best we could offer is assurance that any Canadian visitors (refugees) to Australia can probably overstay your visas for as long as necessary. For some reason we only care when immigrants arrive by boat. Just follow all the Aussies when they start leaving your ski fields.

Someone please frame several copies, and distribute them like Easter eggs around Mar-a-lago.

I would love to see things get more active over here. It's a pretty good community on Reddit, but the mods are way too heavy handed.

If you watch "new" when a big update drops, you'll see almost every post about it get removed. Only the special chosen post gets to stay up, and it's never the first one. I can't help wondering if it's a karma grab.

NMSCoordinatesExchange has some annoying rules, too. If you post a gallery of finds it can get removed for not being split into multiple posts. If I post a gallery, it's because I don't have the time or inclination to spam the sub with dozens of related items. Would they rather nobody sees them at all? Seems like a poorly considered rule for a place that's supposed to encourage sharing of content.

Good reading. Thanks.

Oh, ewe.

This is a really good write up. It reflects my experience and understanding well.

If I can offer my opinion on the J6 types, I think we have to be careful not to present them as antithetical to the autistic way of thinking, because a lot of autistic people end up in those spaces. For some, the world and its norms become so inscrutable that they seek other sources of order. Religion and strictly defined politics can become a comfort, as illusory as they are.

So it may seem contradictory, but autistic people can swing hard away from social norms, but they can also swing hard into it. Because it's a spectrum, defined by divergence, which can happen in any direction.

Or Bluefin, depending on desktop preference. I've been using both and can recommend either.

I think they want real users because they want to sell their data for LLM training, but that might mean purging accounts that are "too political" to be of use.

It's more common than I was aware for software mascots to have distinct names from their respective products.

I kind of like "Ian". Seems suitably humble for a diminutive little rodent.

Another option might be from the band's own mascot, Snaggletooth.
