For #4: the 'de lifetime is the lifetime of the deserializer (and input data). It's used to allow you to deserialize the data into a type without copying it, like deserializing a &'a [u8] buffer into a &'a str. It's documented here if you want to read more.
On one hand, this seems rough. Being able to send and receive mail seems just a little important.
On the other hand, I have wished in the past that I didn't have a mailbox. 99% of my mail is spam, and probably ~5% isn't even addressed to me. Everything else could have been an email.
Trump says a lot of things that, if taken in a certain light, can be NCII. Might be a good idea to flag his posts on all platforms so that they can be further investigated by those platforms if this passes.
All with the goal to keep NCII off the internet, of course.
Ironically, many languages that violate these rules are spoken in the US natively. People in the US just like to forget that there are other natively spoken languages (spoken since before English was introduced to the continent even).
every language uses gendered nouns/verbs/adjectives/pronouns/etc
no language uses gendered nouns/verbs/adjectives/pronouns/etc
pronouns referring to people are always gendered
pronouns are always singular (1) or plural (2+)
A fun language to learn regarding these is Hawaiian, where the language uses a-class and o-class rather than masculine and feminine, and which you use is largely based on how much control you have over it.
A single 128GB mainboard is $2000, so four of them is $8000. Not the same as a machine with 512GB of unified memory.
For the M4 Mac Studio, it costs $4800 to upgrade from 32GB to 128GB. I believe everything else "base model" is $2000, for a total of $6800, but this is also a full working computer and not just a mainboard.
That last quote had me rolling. Good on Brian for having a working brain.
It also concerns me that so many SD legislators are hearing voices in their heads at home, but I guess that's a problem for their psychiatrists to figure out.
Why would the president of a different country resign because some US republicans are calling for it? If anything, this makes me think that the US should be sanctioned for foreign interference (not that this is new).
I think what I was more hoping that would address are anonymous (and sometimes fake) personas spreading hatred and misinformation publicly and loudly. I guess the problem though is that even without anonymity, people still do it anyway, and Facebook and Twitter are great examples of that. I think having control over your own anonymity is important. I just wish there was less of a feeling that you can harm and disrespect others without consequence.
I keep wondering, if forums and social media platforms required ID verification (probably through a third party with policies against retaining PII) and each account was linked (but not necessarily publicly) to a real ID, would that help? For example, being banned from a platform would be permanent since the ban would be tied indirectly to your ID, meaning that consequences would be real for abuse.
I feel like the core problem is that people can post without consequences. It's both a good thing and a bad thing ofc, but maybe the downsides are too big.
Could also maybe be a more robust "verified" system I guess where all platforms verify identities of businesses/people through a common provider, and even a platform like Lemmy could show who is verified (which would require tying the identity to the account publicly). This would still allow for anonymous accounts, but those who are verified would be able to be held accountable to what they post online in exchange for higher credibility. I don't think the verification systems we've seen already really help that much though, considering how toxic twitter has been basically throughout its entire existence.
Honestly considering saying we're from BC. It's a short drive from us anyway.
