They should get UBI, just like everybody else.

Türkiye.

Regulators seem to be too captured for consumers' good.

Or, specifically, should be required to be opt-in only.

Yes, in the same way that folks should be allowed to sell themselves into slavery.

Oh wait.

(In other words, some things are so inherently exploitative they should be prohibited even with "consent.")

Gentoo? That's a distro I haven't used in a long time. A long time...

If I have to install it myself instead of being able to assume it's on the system by default, that's a Problem.

Python is secretly a functional-paradigm language. If you're not making liberal use of comprehensions instead of loops (especially loops with LBYL conditions in them), you're doing it wrong.

JavaScript is very much not the second best language for anything.

JavaScript came about because it was the only choice in the context for which it was designed, and then it metasticized into other contexts because devs that used it got Stockholm syndrome.

Now I'm suddenly imagining it as a LazyTown crossover.

I'm just saying they're gonna lose, LOL.

I feel like people who say things like this forget that NASA's main space centers are in Florida, Alabama and Texas.

I'm imaginining some kind of monstrosity of a gaming laptop with a power cable that looks like a hydra splitting into three or four USB-C connectors, and it's gloriously silly.

Maybe it's time for a new thing similar to USB 3.0 micro B, with two USB-C connectors next to each other on the same plug.

Do you want demigods? 'Cause that's how you get demigods.

Not being able to kill a deity and not being able to fight one are two different things...

The real joke is not just simply giving folks a damn text box!

(Edit: I'm curious why I'm being downvoted for pointing out bad UI. In general, something doesn't have a short, fixed set of choices, it's inappropriate to use a drop down list for it. Simple as that.)

@BanMeAgainIWontStop be like:

I can forgive the JavaScript think taking into account the specification was made in 3 days and that the suits made “looking like Java” a requirement.

Given that the backup plan was to embed Scheme or Python, it would've been better for Eich to fail.

ಠ_ಠ

Despite popular misconception, growth is logistic, not exponential. Nevertheless, Lemmy is so close to the beginning of its growth cycle that it should look exponential for a long time yet.

Actually, I was thinking of personal experience riding with my wife, with me on an ebike and her on an acoustic bike. I was surprised at how I actually needed to put in a little effort to keep up with her downhill.
