Yeah, I edited the post to call that out specifically

That’s not what the article is about. Stack Overflow has kept content that Luigi created up, but removed his username, in violation of Creative Commons. Edited the post to make that more clear.

Preemptive compliance.

Do you have other examples? Because the article gave an example of a similar account that was not anonynized like this. Sure, accounts are often taken down, but the content isn’t left up.

It’s a Schacht Flatiron; Schacht is, I believe, the largest American spinning wheel manufacturer. https://schachtspindle.com/products/flatiron-spinning-wheel?variant=45418176250151 I really like it. My first wheel was a Majacraft Pioneer (NZ made).

I got 2 bags of sparkly, brightly-colored art batts (wool, silk, and angelina) at a fiber festival at the beginning of June, and I just finished spinning all of them today (it doesn’t take months to do, but I cut my finger in mid-June and had to take a break from fiber arts for a while). Now the singles need to rest, then I can ply them, then they’ll be yarn! And then I can knit something very happy with them and maybe have it done in time for winter.

Yep. Everybody does. Watch where their eyes are pointing, you can tell. I hide the window on apps that let me (or un-maximize the window and slide it off the screen a bit if I’m on one side).

They work better for podcasts than music. For music, they’re better than a phone speaker but worse than cheapo earbuds in terms of sound quality.

I have those exact ones and I love them; I use them for running and when I’m doing stuff around the house but still want to hear people getting my attention. I had a previous version that I also accidentally turned to Chinese but I just learned to recognize the different messages.

These people are saying “we finally created the utopia of Neuromancer.” And I look at them and I go, “I don’t think you read Neuromancer."

I had a (wonderful) colleague who would call a big fuck up an “opportunity for excellence”.

Nah, flip that around. What’s a random crackhead going to do with a stolen car? Vs an already-organized and knowledgeable business like a towing company who wants to add a lucrative side gig. That’s who’s doing catalytic converter theft, too.
