I was told it was added for security, so the user would have to confirm pasting to avoid certain exploits. 🤷

No idea if that’s true.

It can be turned off in Firefox. I had to, as I work in google docs a lot and it was Winding me up.

about:config has a flag for it.

If you can’t find it, let me know and I’ll look up which one I changed

It doesn’t.

It makes it seem like everyone is struggling coz you don’t hear from anyone else.

Sign up with a pension company and pay money into it like any other monthly bill.

I’m in the UK so might be different elsewhere.

Same.

Also self employed. Got plenty of work lined up, savings, pension, cheap mortgage.

Each year looks a little better than the last one.

I think part of the reason it seems everyone is struggling is because of two reasons.

One, lots of people are struggling. Two, no one wants to hear from the few who aren’t.

The environmental impacts are real and substantial, though still on the same scale as video streaming which didn’t get the same reaction, so that’s not the whole story.

And both are dwarfed by the meat industry. Be fair to become vegetarian and continue using AI a bit.

I just had AI rewrite two pages of text from 1st person to 3rd person to use in different marketing material.

I had AI reformat text I’d pulled from a PDF that had weird line breaks.

In both cases, it wasn’t doing any “writing” but the end result was AI assisted.

Its a glorified spellchecker, treat it like one.

So if I think we should decolonise the middle east and also that Iran is authoritarian, is that okay?

Teaching today, working with a new tutor who needs a bit of support and looking after.

Masking my way through a teaching day is always tiring but the extra effort of socialising with a new person means I will properly crash when the working day is over.

At least I’ll sleep well tonight.

RTX 5090 doing all kinds of exploding!

There was no real Borg threat to the federation until Q interfered, Guinan said as much to Picard in Q Who

Platipus - they start as boring eggs

In my circles it’s called Catsdown

Yes, there’s options for long-term treatment available.

Like everything they’re over stretched since austerity and have never been restored.

Veep felt like a step back from The Thick Of It despite being made afterwards.

It was fine, it was fun and funny. But pales compared to the British original.

They’re comedy actors acting in a comedy, rather than actors doing stuff we can laugh about.

No, my point was about you, not the other guy.

Its not possible for one person to say whether a joke is funny or whether people should find it funny.

The point is you’re spending time making pedantic comments calling someone else pedantic.

At a certain point continuing to argue doesn’t convince, it confuses or confounds and undermines the intent.

You’ve now crossed over into irony

OMG! You doxed your own IP!

For evolutionary psychology that has an evidence base, checkout the BioSocial Model!

Fassbender was excellent in those films.

Totally different vibe to the original but still enjoyable in their way with a few great performances.

I am glad though I can see that’s going to be an unpopular opinion around here.

It totally can through.

When making a request, and generally expecting to be misunderstood, autism can lead to over explaining and very logical detailed expression like this.

I was moderately effective as a salesman with this approach, with some limitations and caveats.
