Wym? You mean you don’t like typing out unsigned long long a hundred times?

main =

This message was brought to you by the Haskell gang

let () =

This message was brought to you by the OCaml gang

This message was brought to you by the Python gang (only betas check __name__, assert your dominance and force every import to run your main routine /s)

They’re talking about your commute on the highway to some office park in the middle of nowhere.

Why not go further and imagine a world without money, crypto or fiat?

Bitcoin doesn’t give power to you or me, it just transfers the power from one set of bastards to another, because it’s STILL MONEY and money is and will always be a tool for exploitation.

Unrelated, but anyone else think it’s really weird that we just casually accept our food utensils containing chromium? Like, I know it’s an alloy and not just free chromium, but would we accept a lead alloy spoon? Probably not, especially with most food being acidic. Honestly I’m just waiting for the paper that says we’ve been slowly poisoning ourselves with stainless steel every time we eat.

So that’s what all the DRAM they scalped is storing.

Senior devs are more likely to write one liners from their VIM window.

I’m annoying

Like, in general.

hold the device in front of her face and to forcibly use her fingers to unlock it. In other words, a judge gave the FBI permission to attempt to bypass biometrics

This isn’t bypassing biometrics. This is using biometrics as intended. Bypassing implies this was an unexpected side effect when every security researcher ever has warned that biometrics is intrinsically vulnerable and a terrible password substitute for this exact reason.

It can be taken out if, 1, you know it exists (is it documented?), 2, you know how to program (is it configurable through the normal instance setup or do you have to sift through the code and then maintain your own fork with it removed?). Sure seems like being able to take it out is a side effect of it being open source and was not intended to be configurable. If that’s your bar then any feature you don’t like in any fediverse platform “can be taken out.” You’re talking as if it was explicitly made to be taken out.

Also, it doesn’t just detect 4chan pictures. It MASSIVELY overblocks. This is Lemmy’s slur filter blocking “fire removedant” but on steroids. Tell me again how Pifed is the “anti authoritarian” Lemmy.

Oh please if Lemmy had that hard coded you would absolutely not be defending it. Even if it was just .ml you’d still use it to smear all of Lemmy. I hate 4chan too and would prefer not to see it, but this is still by definition a very heavy handed imposing of one’s personal opinion on others and limiting expression but somehow it doesn’t get the authoritarian label. Wonder why.

Lol y’all complain about Lemmy being authoritarian but think this is fine?

“How do you refer to an instance member in Java?”

“Sorry can’t comment that.”

My dream Linux gaming setup would be a fully configured isolated container that can be run on any host OS. Games are the prime candidates for containerization because they’re all proprietary, and there’s absolutely no reason a game needs user level permissions or to interact with any other program on the system.

Imagine if you could just pull the OGC container from a public registry on your distro of choice, run your game, and then just shut it down when you’re done.

I suspect the biggest barrier would be sufficiently low overhead GPU access though.

As long as China and by extension socialism remain the evil boogieman, the Western ruling class will NEVER be threatened by the people they rule. That’s why they must make you think China is bad by any means. The West does anything? China is worse so you can’t complain. People will be walked into volcanos chanting “at least it’s not China!”

The instant people in the West stop pearl clutching about China (not even support them, not even not dislike them, just stop caring about a country half a world away and focus on how bad life in the West really is regardless of how well or poorly China is doing) is the instant the bourgoisie becomes endangered.

What about the IP issues? Not even talking about the “ethics” of “ip theft via AI” or anything, you just know a company like Microsoft or Apple will eventually try suing an open source project over AI code that’s “too similar” to their proprietary code. Doesn’t matter if they’re doing the same to a much greater degree, all that matters is they have the resources to sue open source projects and not the other way around. If a tech company can get rid of the competition by abusing the legal system, you just know they will, especially if they can also play the "they’re knowingly letting their users use pirated media that we own with their software” card on top of it.
