  • Interesting side note: if discord was e2e encrypted, how should they take action on anything?

    If a group decides to swat a server and they can't review themselves, how should admin moderation work?

    (Yes this isn't the current situation, but I'm on the toilet and it intrigued me)

  • Please outlaw pet rent. I get a refundable deposit, but pet rent is bullshit.

  • I miss the content and niche communities of Reddit. Remember you can still be in both as long as you'd like. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    Edit: I also am sad that big news events like the Superbowl don't have nice vibrant live threads. Hopefully we have more good content for non Linux peeps.

  • I didn't think you could pardon for crimes convicted at the state level.

  • I didn't know what that was yet.. but probably.

  • I had one of the SanDisk flash drives that had some launcher thing on it and I had a password for some reason on it.

    In high school, a classmate tried to guess it, 3 times and I lost everything on it forever, since it stupidly locked forever after 3 tries.

    I had software projects from back then that I can never get back.. including a web browser. I could have had the next Firefox..

    If you're out there, Liz: I'll never forgive that.

  • That can't remove a directory.

  • What's the biggest HDD out there? I mean at sizes this big it's a lot of data to lose in one go if it dies. Even if you have backups or whatever that's a lot to have to restore.

  • When i was a very young kid I didn't like it. .. but after like 3 I really like it.

    .. and no it wasn't thrown away: someone else would drink the remaining milk.

  • Doing this would lose a sense of work vs home time for people. I have some coworkers on the other side of the world, I look at their time and know they shouldn't be online anymore. I tell them things like "Go be with your family" or "Must be sleepy considering how late it is for you".

    It gives me a sense of humanity to know if it's 8pm their time, it's way too late for them to be working. I'm sure I could adjust if we all used UTC but it would be so stupid to change.

    Also imagine hours for businesses all sounding weird as heck lol.

  • Rust proofing. Wasn't that something dealers would add in as a scam for a few bucks?

    Once again, there is a Seinfeld reference here.

    I need a Seinfeld reference bot.

  • Dude, yesterday was the Superbowl and there was no thread for it (other than one hating on it) on the front page of Lemmy. That was a depressing realization to me.

    It's not mainstream, not even close. It literally is what you said and some memes. Maybe one day it'll have a better breadth of content. Reddit content right now is much better to the general user.

    Also taking a dump rn.

  • Man some Chex mix sounds good right now. They have this one that has chocolate pieces now.

  • Final update. We tried to mail the postcards today and were told the other person was incorrect and the stamps were not enough postage. They said if it has the date and price, that's the value. They asked a supervisor and he said to take them anyways with the value we had on them.

    They said they'll probably (99%) send anyways and took them. I guess if we get postage due I'll report back.

  • Funny how no one claims states rights here.

    That only seems to be a Republican talking point.

  • If you are for Musk being tracked, you should be fine with her being tracked the same way.

    I'm for anyone in a private jet being tracked.

  • I wouldn't do this since I don't want to be even more tech support for people I know.

    My mom has used windows for as long as she has had a computer and still doesn't know what the start button or the windows key are.

    I've explained it millions of times.

    I'm not signing up for more of that than we need.

  • I use GitHub Copilot from work. I generally use Python. It doesn't take away anything at least for me. It's big thing is tab completion; it saves me from finishing some lines and adding else clauses. Like I'll start writing a docstring and it'll finish it.

    Once in a while I can't think of exactly what I want so I write a comment describing it and Copilot tries to figure out what I'm asking for. It's literally a Copilot.

    Now if I go and describe a big system or interfacing with existing code, it quickly gets confused and tends to get in the weeds. But man if I need someone to describe a regex, it's awesome.

    Anyways I think there are free alternatives out there that probably work as well. At the end of the day, it's up to you. Though I'd so don't knock it till you try it. If you don't like it, stop using it.
