Find me on Mastodon, if you want.
Yes, that’s the entire point. They promote STEM topics to their own youth and funny silly brain-numbing dances to their political opponents.
In a number of years, China’s workforce will be scientists and engineers while the US will be full of influencers and microcelebrities who provide very little actual value.
They’re playing the long game.
While I agree with your sentiment, this is a terrible take.
There is always a reason for saying no, whether you want to share it or not. But that takes a backseat here because it’s an open-ended question.
You’ve answered in a very closed minded way and refused to elaborate on your position, therefore your opinion can easily be thrown away due to lack of evidence. At that point, why comment at all?
We just use PayPal or a straight up bank transfer over here.
I think OP missed your sarcasm though.
I want to try the funny Zuck sauce but I live in the UK so they’d have to re-do their tagline. Over here it’d be pronounced “the source is the boss”, which is just weird.
Subscribed, and when I soon run out of content I switch to all.
I dislike Reddit as much as anyone here but god do I miss the sheer amount of content.
Other countries declaring war will increase the value of the USD, as buying weapons from us government will decrease amount of money in circulation.
I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding this, but wouldn’t that decrease the value of the dollar?
If the US Gov owns less weapons (because they’ve been sold) but the populace has the same number of dollars, then the value of those dollars must be decreased because there are less weapons backing it.
This feels unnecessary. Users will nearly always correct people who post in the wrong place.
A wiki or a meta-megathread would probably be a better fit for something like this. Like a Yellow Pages for communities.
I hate them too.
I come to news sites to read articles, not watch videos. If I wanted to watch videos I would go to YouTube. It’s as simple as that.
Making them autoplay is just adding insult to injury (as well as wasting bandwidth for literally no reason).
Let’s do some napkin maths while we think how much energy has been wasted by autoplaying a video for every visitor.
If I were to guess, the video player pre-caches a few seconds of content, maybe up to 10. That’s a fair few MB worth of reasonable quality video/audio data. Now multiply that for every single visitor. That’s a lot of wasted energy. The page itself is likely ~1MB in size (at least you’d hope), so they’re potentially increasing their costs by an order of magnitude by having the videos autoplay.
It’s monumentally stupid.
What would be the purpose of connecting such a list to the fediverse?
Verified accounts only
With the prevalence of generative AI, it’s becoming more and more difficult to trust an image (and soon videos will follow), so how will people verify themselves? Not many people will want to hand over their government-issued ID to a random company.
Even if that wasn’t an issue, how would the service survive? What would be the monetisation strategy (assuming good will)?
Probably off-by-one errors
implying that any developer actually reads warnings
I am a software developer and gamer who lives in his mother’s basement and watches anime.
In my defense: I am in the process of buying my own house, I practice good hygiene, and I do have a social life (unlike a stereotypical basement-dweller). I have no excuse for the anime, that’s on me.
That’s easy: getRandomBoolean()
Sure, it might be wrong sometimes, but we can just blame it on the September 2021 training cutoff.
I had that moment when learning to code. I had like 98% or what I needed to know. Then one day I came across some random SO post, learned something that I really should have learned a while ago (the difference between static classes and instantiated classes, yes really) and then everything just fell into place and I realised I could actually write proper code now. It was a fun moment :)
And especially “alot”.
Oh man, the Samson Go mic was my first ever microphone. I loved that thing!
Nope.
I mean the movie, I’m not just refusing to answer. If you don’t already know what it’s about, it does an incredibly good job of making you curious as to what the fuck is going on.
Also, it’s just a banger with lots of attention to detail. Highly recommended.
Same here, to a certain extent.
I was referring only to Linux’s lack of bullshittery in comparison to Windows, nothing else.
The colours on that site are rather confusing. Defederated instances are shown in green and federated instances are shown in yellow.
