The implicit contract is to show an ad for a service, but they are actually violating the contract by attaching other things to the ads. They then use the ads to steal information that they then sell without my consent. So, if anything we are discussing honor amongst thieves.

I do not block ads. I however use Privacy Badger to block tracking cookies, which means that I don't see ads. I will see all ads that are not tracking me, which seems to be none. Is protecting my privacy also piracy?

They have the platform, but we shouldn't be forced to listen.

Traits are similar to an interface, but with some differences. Here is a comparison with Java interfaces https://stackoverflow.com/a/69485860

If you look at Rust for example, then you specify the Traits instead. So, you could define a trait that defines the properties for birth, another to define if the animal have a beak, and another one to define the number and type of legs. The each animal implement these traits, which then properly can define a duck, cat and a platypus.

He is one of the key people to get all of the low level components "just work", and a big part of why I use Fedora as my go to desktop distribution. This kind of work is a key part of providing a smooth desktop experience, sad to see RedHat stopping to support it.

The guy arranging the burning of the Quran this spring, have been working for RT and have a Russian wife. The play here is to agitate Turkey to make the NATO process more difficult

Where do I find that option?

EDIT: Found it, it is in the menu when you click on your profile picture.

The pricing is a bit much, especially compared to other services like Tutanota that actually runs servers and provides a service in addition to developing the applications. $20-$30 for the onetime purchase option would be more sane.

I know I bought Sync Pro for Reddit, but I know that was nowhere close to these prices.

EDIT: Found the Remove Ads option, and that is more reasonable priced.

You can show ads without tracking the user and violate privacy. But they are not just selling ads, they also collect user data and sell that. So, the correct question would be, how can they adapt to survive on just selling ads?

Not even Linguistically. Colored people implies, that people are originally without color, and then some people have been painted. Hence, implying that no color is the norm.

But even there a TcpStream, a FileStream and a StringStream might have quite differen behaviour, since they all abstract very different things. So, even this simple example may fall apart very fast if you need to care about those. I'm not saying that Inheritance is always bad, but it is quite rigid and might cause problems in a large codebase if you suddenly run in to the corner cases where the assumptions the abstraction is based upon is no longer upheld.

The core problem I see with Inheritance is that the abstractions tend to fall apart and no longer be true. Lets use the Animal example. It is easy, when you have Animal -> Cat and Animal -> Dog. But as soon as we become more specific like Animal -> Mammal -> Cat, Animal -> Fish -> Hammerhead Shark, Animal -> Bird -> Bald eagle, we risk of getting in trouble. Because now for all purposes we assume things about the Fish, Birds and Mammals, like fish is in the sea and mammals are live on land. We know that this is not strictly true, but for everything we need it works. Later we need to handle a dolphin.... should that be a fish, or do we need to restructure the whole program. If we treat it like a fish, then we might be even deeper in trouble later if we would need to handle birth. And even if we restructure our program to be correct to handle birth, we might stil forget that some mammals lay eggs like the Platypus, so then things break again if we need to handle that. We tend to see Inheritance as a rigid fact based structure, but the core problem is that it is just a bunch of assumptions we dictate in a very rigid way that is hard to change.

Composition have no problem with specifying the platypus as a mammal that lays eggs and have a beak.

Well, Sync for Reddit is basically being kicked off Reddit, so a new app is being created to work with Lemmy. Of course it is in the app developers interest to promote the new applicataion, and from what I understand they plan to do so by adding a popup to sync informing them of the new Sync for Lemmy application. And if they are pointing Reddit users to Lemmy, it is only logical that they want the users to be able to easy find their place and find the communities of interest... so i don't understand why they should not do that. What you are saying is that they should not try to make any users use their new app they have spent time developing, and that just doen't make any sense. But I agree that they should not promote any particular instance or specific community, which is why I pointed to services that list all instances and makes it easy to find a suitable instance, and makes it easy to find communities that matches any particular subreddit.

For both of you, wouldn't it be nice to let me add my home instance so you could provide quick links to subscribe (and open the community in my home instance).
