Languages like C have a preprocessor. The preprocessor preprocesses the source code before compiling it. The C preprocessor, copy-pastes code from other files into the current file (#includes), erases code (#if if the condition is false), and expands macros (e.g. you have #define MAX(x, y) ((x) < (y) ? (y) : (x)), it replaces every use of that macro with the definition of that macro: a += a * MAX(b, c)→a += a * ((b) < (c) ? (c) : (b)). There are also general-purpose preprocessors (or macro processors), that are not tied to a specific programming language however. m4 is one of them and GNU autotools make extensive use of them to generate their configuration and make files. What preprocessors allow one to do is write a template, and then generate a result, based on your needs.

Social media and cell phones aren’t really something a 14 year old can get at a store or happen upon at a party

Internet cafés, libraries and friends?

Won't those people just deny their children access to the internet, regardless of whether such a law exists?

(me not lawyer nor study law)

I’ve seen some users add a license to the end of each of their comments. One idea might be this: Add a feature to Lemmy where each user can choose a content license that applies to everything they post. For example, one user might choose to no rights for their content (like CC0) because they don’t care how their data is used. Another user might not want companies profiting off their posts, so they’d choose a more restrictive license.

I don't think licensing your content prevents it from being used in AI models, considering that services such as Copilot were trained on data such as GPL licensed source code without having to comply with the terms it imposes when modifying or copying GPL licensed code (but it's not just resticted to restrictive licenses such as the GPL, since according to licenses such as the MIT they would also have to credit the authors of the original work). It seems that, for now, copyright law doesn't apply to data generated by AI models and that they don't need to comply with the terms of the licenses of the training data (or at least they don't seem to have been penalized for violating copyright law yet AFAIK).

And even if it wasn't licensed, companies can't use your works without your permission (unless it constitutes fair use). When you license a work, you are simply giving permission to other people to do things with your work they would otherwise not be allowed to do.

I never said that one or the other european country was or wasn't involved, but consequences of an action aren't limited to who enacts it or to who is acted upon. Some here in these comments mention terrorism. As an example of what I meant when I said "consequences stemming from the destabilization of the middle east by foregin interference", I will mention the perception of Islam as a religion that endorses terrorism as some here in the comments did. Religious extremism has only become a problem due to foreign interference. One of the most well known groups, ISIS, only became as strong as they became due to the Iraq war.

Yet they somehow have to take in muslim “refugees” and destabilize their own country in the process.

I don't know if you are expressing your disapproval of their immigration, but I feel like we shouldn't put the two kinds of "destabilization" on equal levels. I'm sure the german and french natives can't say they have anywhere near as many problems as the people arriving. I also must note a certain double standard here in that I don't see anyone speaking against receiving ukrainian refugees, despite those countries not being blamed with what is happening in Ukraine.

Consequences stemming from the destabilization of the middle east by foreign interference.

but I’m paranoid it breaks my code accidentally

Automated tests and version control should prevent that from being a problem, I imagine.

Not defending it, but discord has an inbox menu, where you can see a list of messages that pinged you and jump to any of those messages. It is a button on the top right corner to the left of the question mark and to the right of the search field (desktop).

I think I will try Gomuks, since I now also tried Fluffychat, but scrolling felt weird and on a touchpad had the tendency to swipe left on messages to reply instead of scrolling down and I was unable to resize or close the channel info and channel list, or change its font size (there also appears to be no settings button). Maybe the CLI based clients will be more suited for me, since I also don't mind using irssi for IRC (but it should be noted I also have no problems with graphical IRC clients like hexchat or others, which work perfectly fine on my machine).

Are you using any other alternative now besides IRC?

Nope. Desktop.

Since we are on the topic of disliking Discord, what Matrix clients do you humans use? I tried both Element and Nheko (the latter of which isn't electron based), and they both felt slow, clunky and unresponsive.

How much onion do you use per meal? I feel like I may be using too many, since everything in a grocery store that is sold in bundles or bags, is too much for me and it would likely go bad before I can eat it all, but onions (and plain yoghurt) are the exception. A 10 kg bag of onions lasts a week or less when feeding only myself.

When I first started cooking, I never salted my food because I noticed no difference. Now I've begun salting food, but it's generally so much that other people perceive it as oversalted, because only then do I see a difference. Maybe I'm salting too late (since most recipes have it as a last step)? What difference does it make to add salt at the end vs at the beginning?

On old.reddit, it's the [-] button and on new reddit it's done by pressing the vertical lines on the left of the comments. I don't know about mobile.

Lemmy actually offers a phpBB frontend: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB

Some time ago lemmy.ml could be accessed through fedibb.ml, which unfortunately is down now.

I wonder if that is what the chat view on lemmy is for. I tried it out, but I couldn't understand how it is sorted.

It says it's sorted by new, but the post times don't seem to match that.

You can collapse whole comment trees, though, which cuts down scrolling time.

I think it depends on the forum. On the forum I am, there is no search timeout and necroposting is allowed as long as you bring something relevant to the discussion. And if you accidentaly create a new post that should have been somewhere else, the post is simply moved there.

Where did the people that use instagram move to?
