lol, no. This type of cursed pizza could easily be in Brazil. No country’s food is safe here. Not that it’s normal here, but I’ve seen plenty of weird pizzas

I’ll wash petri dishes instead

The text is not generated. It’s from photos of books that failed ocr. The photos are then distorted to make it even harder in order to become that captcha. 2 words are used 1 is a control (to know if the response is correct), the other is one they what to know what says (to add to the pool of words and finish digitizing the book).

exactly what recaptcha does, for example. Knowing that you have to type a word because a computer failed to identify which word is it makes creating a program that does that no easier. Same with the image ones. While criptography is a different problem, the argument is the same: you want something that can be verified to be hard to break otherwise someone will eventually figure it out

They do exist. Mine has a mute button. The keypad is awful though. I don’t remember the brand and not at home, but can look it up later

Interesting. Does “mongoloid” on its own mean someone of low intelligence? We have mongoloide in Brazil with that meaning. More often used as a way to call a friend silly instead of an actual insult, but can be used as one too.

Now with support for pin number logins

I’ve bought used / refurbished (not sure which) with erased smart data. It being all zeros was a clear sign of erased / tampered info. After running badblocks some relocated sectors showed up.

Yup, I suspect that is indeed the issue. Haven’t tried KDE in wayland yet as I’ve seen some people saying it’s still a bit rough. Will give it a try anyway. May give sway another shot too

Most offers I’ve got I don’t even know what the job is. Like they will just say my profile matches what they are looking for and ask if I’d like to talk, no other context except the company name. I could ask, but I find kinda odd they don’t even say what the job is right away. Feels like spam, I guess.

Try using screens with different resolutions at the same time. Always gave me trouble. In my case was always using a horizontal one and a vertical one together. I’ve had framerate problems, tearing, artefacts (parts of the vertical screen wouldn’t update while the other 2 worked fine). From time to time, X will forget my monitor configuration too after a reboot / unplugging the dock / waking from sleep. All that with 2 laptops from different brands using different docstations, one with XFCE on Ubuntu and the other with KDE on Arch. I got it mostly working, but it’s still troublesome

I would advise you to try to find if it’s actually viable (and how hard it is) to go back to a job comparable with what you have now after being a couple years out of the market. I think this is something that varies from place to place and it’s a known problem here (Brazil). I don’t know how dependent on age, sex or career it is, though.

Bean there, done that

This sounds like the beginning of great tifu post
