The official Lemmy client is still missing a critical (to me) feature: changing the default sort for comments

That’s the only thing holding me back from using it. Until that gets implemented, I’m using the Voyager app on mobile and desktop

False positives are going to be this thing’s downfall, calling it now

You’re not a freak, they’re something that you don’t wanna pay attention to but they’re literally made to grab your attention, so it drives you crazy. Nothing wrong with muting them

Commercial breaks wouldn’t drive me so crazy if every third ad wasn’t for a medication with legitimately gruesome side effects

The “but muh types” criticism of Python has always been completely ignorant of the main use cases of Python. Like yeah, probably shouldn’t use it in avionics or medical devices. But scientific computing where you’re basically just using the interpreter as a calculator? You really only care about whether something’s an integer or not. Float vs. double isn’t gonna kill you

I’m not saying you’re wrong, this is just a very American marketing approach. Like, why would a tech company want to grow out of the tech sector? Oh right, never ending quarter over quarter growth…

The wild part to me is that the average person doesn’t even know what IO means in a tech context, but enough tech companies have used .io for normies to be conditioned into associating .io with tech

Not all TLDs are, just the ccTLDs. The .io domain was never intended to be such a popular one, but tech bros were like “zomg io! That’s like input/output!! So techie!!!” Meanwhile, .tech exists and is not country-specific but is far less popular for some reason.

Country music from before it became hick rap. Songs that told cool stories instead of being about nationalism and pickup trucks

Wait why are distros removing HEVC?

I love how this whole debacle has turned into a finger-pointing party

“We, Microsoft, didn’t do it, CrowdStrike did!”

“We, CrowdStrike, didn’t do it, the airlines did!”

Of course, this would be fine if done for technical purposes, but it’s actually being done to reverse stock price dips and make the boards of directors happy

archive.org is the modern proposal of a library, and yeah, look what’s happened to them

It’s not even cheap anymore :(

That’s the vast majority of Lemmy…

What lol not even close. NFL+ is $100/yr and you get every game. Sure, they’re replays and not live games, but honestly that’s the best way to watch American football so you can skip over the absurd amount of commercials. Cuts the 3 hr broadcasts down to 2 hr. They also have condensed versions that they post a couple hours after the game ends which cuts out everything between whistles, so it’s just the actual plays. Cuts the 3 hr broadcast down to 45 min. If you’re a football mega nerd, they also have coach’s versions where it shows the 22-man camera angle of every play.

Comic Sans really isn’t that bad, it’s just one of those things that became trendy to hate by people who are incapable of developing their own personality. Like the word “moist”

There’s conservative hacker groups out there? I always thought someone who was smart enough to be a hacker would also be smart enough to see through their bullshit beliefs. But I also know some people who are very smart in one thing and absolute morons when it comes to everything else so idk.

Or maybe anarchist hacker groups paid by conservatives?

Google your city name and “maker space” to see if there’s any near you. Not only does my local library district have them, there’s another local option with a monthly membership fee. They have large equipment like laser engravers, CNCs, drill presses, etc. They usually also have small stuff like drills that you can check out and bring home. Also a great way to meet other makers in your community

Agreed

Curious as to what the union’s demands are. It’s my impression that Trader Joe’s treats their employees relatively well. I have multiple friends who work for them and are paid a living wage (in the Bay Area of all places) for working reasonable hours.

Ah, got me with the ol’ Uno reverse card. It can be hard to tell with the tankies on Lemmy with zero senses of humor, taking every opportunity for diatribe, even obvious jokes

I was thinking about whether I should put an /s in my comment when I wrote it, and I thought “nah, it’s pretty clear that it’s a joke”. You have proved me wrong. I promise to do better next time
