even nicer is F#. join us brother, you can do everything that you can do in C# but better

most C programs are just C++ programs with extra steps if you look at them close enough

Much of the obsession internet people have over ""privacy"" is just a feel-good-about-themselves thing, rather than actually protecting themselves from their data being collected and used. If you're posting on the internet, yes that includes Lemmy, there's almost no doubt that any government and world-destroying corporation would have easy access to everything about you in an instant, even if you go out of your way to try to use services "focused on privacy". You aren't protecting yourself from anything by not using Google/Microsoft/etc. products.

There is no "chipping away bit-by-bit" when it comes to this, it's pretty much meaningless unless you're nearly completely off the grid, to the point where you don't even use modern technology. The worst you're gonna do otherwise is fuck up targetted ads, but that's not very hard to do considering Google apparently thought I was a pregnant woman looking for leather boots and beauty products when I still had ads on YouTube.

I wish people would admit it's really not about their privacy. Say it's because FOSS services are better (because they are), say it's so you don't get spam from shitty sites you gave your email to, say it's so you can fit in in your niche online communities, whatever. But 99.99% of people in "privacy" communities haven't even put a dent in the data being collected from them by large entities, hell most people in these communities think VPNs will protect them from anything at all other than their parents or boss not noticing them being on porn sites (VPNs can help with privacy, but only under specific conditions that most people aren't meeting)...

italians and other europoors eat completely raw or undercooked meats every now and then, including raw chicken and raw pork.

plenty of european cultural dishes would be highly illegal to serve here in the US of A (and i am glad for that)

software engineer (engineer for short), software developer (dev/developer for short), software designer (although that last one sounds weird). the job is a lot more than programming, depending on your position it can be mostly communication or mostly engineering or mostly something else entirely. maybe even mostly sitting on your ass all day!

Or get the 2L bottles, which are usually around the same price as the 500 mL bottles (for some reason).

because your net worth determines your value as a living being, silly!

the problem with this comment is that it implies that billionaires are people

Yeah this isn't Reddit but more than 80% (>4/5) of Twitter is bots. It's to the point where you can find any blue checkmark account, reply to them with a prompt, and more likely than not they'll have a wacky and clearly autogenerated response. Sometimes they just reply things like "sorry, I can't generate content that depicts violence" to random posts too.

Dead internet theory is almost a reality and I hate it. It's already happened to Google search results / blogs.

i'm literally sorry that you literally don't know standard english my guy, i literally don't know what to literally say to you 😭

i meant for insoles D:

no idea

i want your recommendations

if i had to take a guess, alpha beta omega?

the iranians revolted... into another dictatorship...

and the french revolution ended swell! wait

what about the cuban revolution? oh god damn it

lol i'm just kidding, i can think of a few. the italian civil war and the libyan civil war, and technically the russian revolution and german revolution but i guess it helps when the government you're fighting against is getting brutally beaten in a war against other countries. but i can't say all of those ended in an extremely democratic system

Going through your recent comment history, you're pathetic. Everyone is calling you out for being batshit insane lmao. I know "responsibilities" and "a job" are both foreign concepts to you, and I'm sure you think everyone can spend their time on Lemmy 24/7 just like you, but jesus christ... I consider myself an avid poster but you somehow have over 3x the comments as me. So yes, I didn't have the time to watch the video you allegedly made (and I emphasize the allegedly).

There is literally nothing to suggest that you are any sort of expert or even trustworthy person when it comes to language, let alone whether "extravert" is "incorrect". Based on your comments about it, the evidence all points in the opposite – you're an expert of nothing except saying you're totally "knowledgable". Why do you think you're better at language than the people who make dictionaries for christ's sake?! Or the large amount of researchers who use the term "extrovert" in a formal setting, most of whom are experts in either 2nd language acquisition, linguistics/psycholinguistics, or psychology? How do you presume that they're the incorrect ones for using what you deem to be the "wrong" spelling (out of two equally valid spellings), when you can't even compare to their level of expertise? Rather than actually making these papers on psychology and linguistics, you're LARPing as a high school English teacher online and saying stupid shit about language. I want to ask you what qualifications you have, if any at all? Do you even have any college education on linguistics? Can you even do so little as to read and write basic IPA transcriptions?

Why are you deleting half of the comments you've recently posted, after people respond to them with sources and actual arguments? There have been multiple in this thread. You're obviously not very confident in them, they make you look absolutely embarassing. You do realize that on most front-ends, it doesn't delete the entire thread below the deleted comment anymore, right? And the stupid responses are still available in the peoples' inboxes.

What's more likely, that almost every professional on language is wrong, or that you're wrong? Are all the most credible dictionaries wrong?

The term prescriptivism refers to the ideology and practices in which the correct and incorrect uses of a language or specific linguistic items are laid down by explicit rules that are externally imposed on the users of that language. This ideology and its practices are now usually ascribed to nonlinguists or nonacademic linguists, whereas modern academic linguists, following Saussurean tenets, restrict themselves to the study and description of the structure of language and its natural use.

Robert Straaijer, PhD in English Language & Literature, on Oxford Bibliographies

Answer it. Do you think a majority of linguistics professors and people with linguistics PhDs are wrong, and you're somehow right?

Lmao you don't know what you're talking about. I've had a significant amount of formal education in linguistics, considering I was specializing in computational linguistics. I've spent many years of my life specifically on linguistics, even before I started my degree which is linguistics focused, and said college education has significantly added onto it.

Every modern, accredited linguistics professor would laugh at your claims. The things you say sound like jokes to anyone with actual knowledge on dialectology and historical linguistics. Even a layman linguist would think you're insane. Unfortunately your beliefs are also the same that a large portion of the poorly educated populace has, so even though it's a stupid belief it's still common for those not educated in linguistics.

You're just throwing out ad hominem attacks because you have been clearly caught lying out of your ass about knowing multiple things (You can easily "read Germanic"? You think Old English/Norse and French writing is mutually intelligible with English writing to any significant degree? What???). You literally just Googled a random Old Norse manuscript and copy pasted one of the first paragraphs to try to come up with something to back up your claims.

You look silly. There is no more purpose in arguing with you since you clearly refuse to learn from your nonsense drivel being clearly torn apart. You can't even follow up on your "promises". Lol

These are definitely good reads for people like you, just to show you what people who have actual linguistics & culture knowledge think of the likes of you:

Aldi provides way better working conditions than Walmart, that's for sure. Imagine being able to sit during a job that doesn't require standing – in America!!!

probably because China is a foreign country and the US is (presumably) where you reside, and you should apparently trust your own government only. but i don't know exactly what a foreign government would want with your personal data anyways

i don't because i don't meet the diagnostic criteria for ASPD
