We can agree that it's not going to change soon, yeah

You can. I go on a 2 week Mahasi vipassana silent meditation retreat each year and each time the release notes make it worth the time and effort. Also like running defrag on a disk that has been defragged regurlarly, it runs smoother each time, making the whole experience much more pleasurable.

Release notes last retreat:

• Fixed approval seeking issue due to lack of approval by clueless dad during teenage years
• Reduced day dreaming by 10% by recognizing mechanisms that lead to day dreaming
• Optimized routines for dealing with tough situations
• Increased mindfulness by eliminating several mechanisms that lead to mindlesness
• Discovered access to high concentration states that likely will lead to more discoveries
• Fixed loneliness issue due to missed update
• Fixed part of a (self and others) judgement issue. More work on this issue needed.

The above is a pretty accurate representation of the results I got.

If enough people want it changed, it can be changed, right?

1. Talk to the person
2. Call the police and tell the person the police is coming
3. Block the person from coming in
4. If he comes in anyway use tools like baseball bat, hammer or kitchen knife to defend yourself

Mental illness is rampant here.

All the more reason why you guys shouldn't have so many guns.

Greta is very scientifically minded and rational, unlike how the media likes to portray her. They use the emotional sound bites and almost never show her referring to paper after paper.

Believe me, I am not trying to point out that I am vegan. It's not like I am building a name for myself. I only use this handle on the fediverse.

However, I do like to point out that we're screwing the planet and the animals with our behavior. Sometimes people listen, instead of trying to put me in a box or becoming defensive. That has a small chance of making the world just a tiny bit better.

And if you really must put me in a box, then you can put me in a box with other well educated people who also happen to have some basic understanding of grammar. I don't love grammar at all by the way. It's not my field.

*you're

We're sooooo far from even thinking about reversing climate change that this argument, though valid, sounds very misplaced. If can't even get my friends, who are otherwise smart and decent people, to consider not eating meat.

How fragile their ego's must be. Can't have anyone being different!

I don't get it? Why are they talking in the article about not using the right type of encryption. The problem isn't the encryption, but the fact that it is sending your keystrokes to the mothership, right?

I am not getting into a discussion with you. Have a nice day though.

Language preference, ergonomics and isomorphic code have not been good enough use-cases to get people off of Js. There was a big hype around compiling to Js a decade ago, but that hype past us and nowadays this is usually only done for some small piece of pure logic that really needs to be isomorphic, which is kind of what we have wasm for nowadays. People who hate Js should really get off their high horse. Writing frontend code in Rust really isn't going to make a material improvement over writing the same thing in TypeScript, unless you need raw performance which is less than a percent of all webapps.

This is a good thing, because the frontend community is really not going to benefit from having the same thing written in a dozen languages. We've already got a bazillion datepickers, we don't need a gazillion. People are dumb enough to want to rewrite a bunch of stuff in Rust just because they like the language. And Rust absolutely isn't the best language to write a datepicker in. Having a single language, however crappy, did create some much needed stability in the frontend space. It is also quite handy that frontend engineers can focus on their job, not on learning language X with toolchain Y and libraries Z.

Don't get me wrong. I am not a Js fan. I've been coding since the 90s and am familiar with most languages and pretty much every paradigm. I can be quite picky when it comes to languages, but I'd rather have a single okay language that gets the job done with a good ecosystem then a dozen competing ecosystems some of which may be better in some respects. The current status quo with the advent of TypeScript isn't terrible either. What is shitty though, is React and the complete lack of use of web standards, but that's another tangental discussion.

Indeed. Who runs into the speed and size limitations of Js itself nowadays? Even freaking Office365, Google apps and observability dashboads run fairly smootly on Js. Not saying there are no legitimate use-cases out there, but I see plenty of reasons for not wanting to fight with the borrow checker if all I am doing is serving up a boring website with some forms and dynamic elements.

She is psychologically healthy. Even more so than I am.

What was your impression of him?

You guys simply have a lack of political parties. 4 should be the minimum. You can think of poliical parties as the basis for multi-dimensional space. With 2 parties as a basis the span/range is too narrow.

If Reddit does turn into another right-wing hellscape then people have even more reason to flock to the fediverse

Thanks for reminding me! .... Done and I'm a backer now :)

12 years. I was part of the Digg migration. I used to love Digg. Then a bunch of corporate asshole decided to run Digg into the ground and a new found love for Reddit slowly bloomed out of that. I am still hoping to find that love for Lemmy. It's not quite there yet, but it is only a matter of time as I really appreciate the good vibes here.
