There are vim plugins for ai chat bot integrations. Vim is a perfectly robust IDE that can be as dumb as any other

Right. 1F = 1C/1V … they could have just as easily said 1kF = 1C/1V. Many things use kg instead of g. You can tie together things other than the unscaled base units. Then they are still tied together but 1F is a more reasonable amount.

“peace, but I already started shooting at you so let me finish that real quick instead of stopping”

Depending on the UI/app you use for Lemmy, you may only be able to pick languages you have set on your profile (My mobile app lets me pick any language, but the default web UI (shown above) only shows languages on my profile).

I feel like “Japanese games” is pretty vague. Square Enix and Fromsoft are some of the largest Japanese studios out there and their games work great on Linux.

I agree. The best part of the fediverse is the diversity.

However, for someone who doesn’t speak this language, having it marked as English content is not helpful. Would be very nice to have content properly tagged as the actual language it is in, so that users can opt to see content in languages they understand, would be great.

I don’t have a language filter on, so this wouldn’t affect me, but language tags and filters exist for this very purpose, so it would be nice to see them properly used.

We just don’t make tech for old people the way we should.

My mother in law says things like “Wow, your son is just so good with computers.” She was impressed at how “tech savvy” he was because he was able to change the brightness on her phone for her so she could show him a picture better.

A lot of our UIs are built for absolute no-thinking usability. How would you propose changing the brightness on a phone that would make it more “old people friendly”. It’s not a matter of difficulty. She just doesnt remember these things, and a different flow may not necessarily be remembered either.

And I’m not saying its her fault or that she’s bad because of it. She was raised learning how to do and remember things a certain way and that has necessarily changed over the years.

A phone can do a lot of things, so unless you want to have 100 apps on your home screen, you’ll have to group some together. For instance, putting WiFi into a Settings app. Having every individual setting just available on the home screen potentially complicates things even worse by being overwhelming.

Genuinely curious how you think things like this could be redesigned to be more old people friendly.

Infowars was being sold to pay Sandy Hook lawsuit. The Onion won the bid for Infowars. They were going to make it a satire site. Then some “we don’t want to sell to them even though we have to as part of asset liquidation” drama means that the sale got cancelled (which is what the comic is referencing)

Axios’s target demo is the employers, not the affected young people.

This is an article about “if you don’t care about other people, stop and think about how it affects your bottom line.” It’s meant to be a way to attempt to instill some pseudo-empathy into the sociopath business types.

When you are trying to talk sense to dense people, sometimes you have to say things that don’t tone well with reality in order to reach them.

That is his entire resume though. It’s not a “back in college” thing when you are fresh out of college.

It doesn’t make sense. It’s barely even a dog whistle, it’s just a real whistle but stupid.

She’s a TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist). She is basing her argument on “I’m a Feminist, I fight for women’s rights!” so that she sounds progressive and righteous if you aren’t paying enough attention. (Thus the “dog whistle” part)

The “sex-based” bit is the trans exclusionary part though. She has decided that she gets to decide what is a “real” “woman” and she has decided that “women” are only those people born with a vagina (thus the “reducing women to their genitals” comment).

I never signed a contract to be born, or to die of old age. We don’t always get to approve of the circumstances of life.

I’m using a 9950x3d and have never had to intervene with anything

I’m so impressed by what the jellyfin roku team has come up with over the years.

According to Debian users, “stable” means “unchanging” and not “doesn’t crash or have bugs” … If you still ship 100% of the changes but just delay them by 2 weeks, you have the same number of changes. So by the Debian definition of “stable”, no, it is the exact same as arch.

By the everyone else definition where “stable” means “doesn’t crash or have bugs”, then also no. Shipping buggy code 2 weeks later doesn’t reduce bugs. And if you use the AUR at all, then things get worse, I’ve found, as the AUR pkgbuilds expect dependencies to match current up to date Arch repos.

tl;dr - no

To help you better understand, the way I see it, every time I do something that financially benefits <Company>, I assume I am giving money to the executives/owners/etc.

For example, if I spend $30 on a Harry Potter book, I assume JK Rowling gets $0.10 of that (i dont know how it works, but lets assume), and she spends a substantial portion of her income on anti-trans rights. If we assume anywhere near 10%, then me giving her 10 cents is the same as donating 1 cent to anti-trans rights. Is Harry Potter a good enough book that I am willing to donate money to hate groups to obtain it? Personally no. Other people may look at it and say “It’s only $0.01, and I really like the story!” and think it is worth it. That’s up to you where your threshold is for when the good outweighs the bad.

Contributing legitimacy to something can financially benefit it. Even if I never spend any money on Firefox (for example), user metrics allow them to make bargains with Google to get more money in exchange for default search status. So me using Firefox gets money for Mozilla. And if Mozilla was spending that money on hate groups, I wouldn’t want to be involved in that.

Yes, I am aware that basically every company out there is super shitty. And giving money or support to almost any major corporation is basically funding hate groups in some way. But when the CEO is loudly outspoken about these things, I’d very much rather just swap to a brand that at least isn’t outwardly proud of it’s stupidity. Unless the other options are just as bad and I need a thing: if my local ISP was run by murderers, I still need internet. That’s not something I’m willing to compromise on. But I do have other choices in browsers and Brave doesn’t have any features I can’t live without.

So to answer your question: it does not reflect on the product quality, but it does impact how much quality I demand from a product.

Brave might be a fine browser, but the CEO is infamously anti-LGBTQ and was anti-mask during the pandemic. And the whole crypto-coin association and injecting affiliate links into search results… Everything about Brave makes me want to avoid Brave. Is there anything magical about it that make it any different than other chromium browsers that makes it worth supporting right wing crypto bros?

Tarkov is a live service game. Which has its own ups and downs. Tarkov has benefits of having some things progress while you are offline. Things happen at the server level while you’re gone.

Not every game needs to be a live service game though or try to use live service features in a single player offline game.

Unless there is a very specific reason in the game mechanics why in game time is 1:1 with real time, it doesn’t make a lot of sense except to be divisive and a discussion point.

I know you didn’t ask but an opportunity to info dump is always fun.

Shorting is basically borrowing stock from someone, selling it. and then buying it back later before the person wants their stock back. Since (mostly) all shares are equal, as long as I return to the same stock, there’s no reason to hold onto a specific share.

If a stock is going down, if I borrow a share for a week, sell it for $100, then in 6 days buy it for $50 and return it to you, then I’ve just made $50.

It’s a way to make money when the stock market is going down, but is often riskier because with buying stock, you can just hold indefinitely. If I buy a $100 share, and the price goes to $0. I just lost $100. The most I can possibly lose is $100. (edit: and I sell at any point in the future when I decide. Could be 1 week, could be 30 years.)

But when shorting, you have to return the shares to the actual owner at some point, and since you sold the shares, you MUST get them back. But if I sold your $100 share, and in 6 days it is now $10,000 (this wouldn’t happen, but for example), and I don’t have $10,000, now I can’t return your share to you, and I’m in REAL big trouble. The amount of money I can lose is technically infinite, and since I don’t have infinite money to lose, it probably just devolves into legal issues.

Nano… Like… The one that has all the keybinds permanently shown at the bottom of the screen?
