FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 


JON FINISHES JAR OF SALSA
“I’m sure I’ll pick up some more at some point,” says Bluesky personality


NEW YORK – Jon Bois (@jonbois.bsky.social) announced Friday afternoon that he and his family has finished a jar of salsa purchased weeks prior, and plan to purchase a new jar of salsa in short order.


“I finished the last of it today,” Jon said. “I’m sure I’ll pick up some more at some point.”


Jon offered little insight into whether he’ll stick with the same brand of salsa, or reach for another label. “I don’t know,” he said. “I’ll just grab whatever [the grocery store has available], probably.”


Taco nights must be a hit in the Bois household, no? “I mean, yeah, I guess,” Jon offers. “ We put it on our tacos and stuff. All that’s really going on here is that I ran out, so I’m gonna get some more. I don’t think there’s much more to it than that.”


Perhaps Jon would be interested in hearing some of his Bluesky followers’ favorite brands of salsa?


“No, not really.”

1) things are significantly better when democrats are in power, even if not a communist paradise or whatever. fewer people will suffer and die. 2) the refusal to vote for democrats unless every demand is met just makes you seen as an unreliable coalition partner. coalitions involve compromise

i say this as a sports fan: you shouldn't follow live sports. don't attend the games, don't watch them on tv, don't check the score. you're costing time and resources to snoop on a very sophisticated operation that doesn't involve you. just sit tight and wait for a book or video to come out about it

let me get this straight: DLSS exists because it's too expensive to run raytracing at native resolution, so they made DLSS 5 THROW AWAY THE SHADOW DETAILS THAT RAYTRACING GIVES YOU, thus destroying the entire point of using their own raytracing technology that required using DLSS in the first place?

In the distant future of 2026, we have developed advanced technology that somehow makes basic text input laggy on a PC with more computational power than a supercomputer from 1996.
someone mentioned discord using up a huge ton of resources when typing awhile ago, now I'm getting that lol
discord CPU usage goes up to 7-10% while I'm typing, and when I type too fast or hold the backspace button discord starts lagging
it's so bad that when I hold down a single key (or backspace), characters stop appearing (or disappearing) in the input box until I stop holding it

This is a classic example of optical correction for intersecting lines in font design. To make the diagonal appear straight at the center of the cross, the type designer slightly breaks and shifts it inward.

post from @ari@fedi.arimelody.space:

We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch. We had open-source. We had right to repair. We had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork.

You could've shut your mouth, sold ethical, repairable laptops, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect.

But no, you just had to blow it up. You. And your pride and your ego. You just had to be the man. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now.

Please only do this if you don't want *anyone* to use your code, or it isn't a library. There is no way for me to vet every author of every dependency I use, and even if I did, what if they go crazy in 10 years? Actually fixing the open-source license ecosystem should involve lawyers, not memes.

Is it possible to support the *concept* of a military, but not the military-industrial complex? I feel like these are two separate things. Like, if you don't have a military, you either have a military sugar-daddy, or die. Clearly having or borrowing a military is necessary for self-defense.
