It seems like privatization is working out great for us πŸ‘

Me looking at all the genocide denying ethnostate apologists on lemmy πŸ˜₯

I personally love torrents, their decentralized nature will make them last forever.

I would love to see a client that shows you a full catalog of movies and shows and downloads right from the client. If I choose a movie it will just start downloading it right there and can let me watch it in a few minutes. Basically similar to popcorn time but actually maintained, and also supports a vpn.

My family still likes to use streaming services because they choose something off of Netflix and watch. It would be nice to have the same experience with torrents.

Agree, but to me they're no different from any other genocide denying pieces of shit. If you are a NATO apologist that sees what happened to Iraq or what is currently happening to Gaza as any less abhorrent, you are just as bad as someone apologizing for Russia or the USSR.

No I actually hope that industry becomes infeasible. I hope enough people get off their platforms so they go out of business. That industry needs a complete overhaul.

Nurse Becky that bitch

Unfortunately I don't think this means they will stop trolling the actual internet, even if they block it from their own country

the Isreali right

The Israeli right: flatten the whole place, I want to salt the earth so they have nowhere to return to and they're destroyed forever.

Israeli moderates: the IDF can have a little white phosphorous, as a treat

Sure but I don't know if a bunch of militaries having that control is any better

I remember needing to understand some math concept for some reason so I googled it and clicked on the Wikipedia link. When I realized I was too stupid for that I went back and clicked on the "math is fun" link. It explained it perfectly. Thank you math is fun.

I agree, typescript is way overrated

I agree but with more and more users, that will happen naturally.

Maybe I'm not an amazing perfect person. Maybe I should try some introspection and look critically at my own thoughts and actions.

Your argument basically boils down to "never use amazon or any other shitty tech company for that matter", which I guess I agree with.

Alternative plan: why not use gecko? I know it's more work to do so, but I would call that the lesser of two evils at this point.

You've independently discovered studying

Right but it would be an even better alternative if you had the choice who to block.

Btw blocking instances at the user level is a feature that will be coming to lemmy soon.

I see this as proof that we don't really live in a democracy. Most people are anti-genocide but a politician asking for a ceasefire is a fringe position. Most people want a higher minimum wage, but it's considered a fringe position in Washington. Most people want universal healthcare, but it's considered a fringe position.

Biden clearly doesn't give a shit about winning the next election.

Serious question, why would you consider Bluesky? I would argue that mastodon is "the" decentralized social media platform, I mean it's not owned by some billionaire; and if you mostly care about audience size, nothing beats twitter. I've never felt any inclination to try bluesky for these reasons.

I would call this cheating. It's anti-competitive behavior to prevent another company from building a product similar to yours. The irony is they never would have done it if he hadn't destroyed twitter lol

It's frustrating since by using your tethered connection you're using the same data that you already pay for. If there's a limit on how much data, why does it matter how you use for it?

It absolutely is. It's not the place to learn the basics obviously, but members need to learn what is expected of them, just like on any other team/organization.

Linus's outbursts absolutely hinder growth. He's lucky that his project has become so important and people will work on it regardless, but he and the Linux kernel would have been better off if he was wasn't driving people away as much as he was.

Maybe if you keep saying it, it will come true ✨

Never heard this sentence before

Or even to use this same example, why not blame the restaurant owner? They can choose to pay their waiters well and tell customers there's no need for tipping.

At least they're personalized now

All that means is that they're tracking everything about you to figure out what ads would work on you. They share your data between companies to build a profile on you.

I used to think the same as you but after enough time I just got completely fed up with everyone constantly trying to sell me things. Basically every interaction online is someone trying to take money from me. Not only that but they go out of their way to make things shittier because you're more likely to part with your money. Like how article websites wait just long enough before you start reading before covering the screen with an ad and breaking your concentration. You can't just scroll past those and mind your business.

As someone who uses Django every day, I can tell you that the code is almost secondary to the amazing documentation. The documentation is such a core part of a framework that I don't see how it can be usable without really good and up to date documentation.

The fact that spring boot's documentation is so bad that it's impossible to even find a reference for a class you're using is, I'm sorry to say, garbage.

Thank you for the gaben πŸ˜”πŸ™

Always merge when you're not sure. Rebasing rewrites your commit history, and merging with the squash flag discards history. In either case, you will not have a real log of what happened during development.

Why do you want that? Because it allows you to go back in time and search. For example, you could be looking for the exact commit that created a specific issue using git bisect. Rebasing all the commits in a feature branch makes it impossible to be sure they will even work, since they represent snapshots that never existed.

I'll never understand why people suggest you should default to rebasing. When prompted about why, it's usually some story about how it went wrong and it was just easier to do it the wrong way.

I'm not saying never squash or rebase. It depends on the situation but if you had to pick a default, it should be to simply merge.

Even if you studied it, the answer boils down to "magic".

You take these magnets, and move them around these long snakes of metal (because electrons can move easily through metal) and that makes the electrons in the wires move.

Okay, why does moving around a magnet near metal make something inside it move?

Well there's something we call the "Lorentz force" which basically pushes a magnetic thing in a specific way if you move another magnetic thing around it

But why does that happen?

Magic

I know some people don't have the choice but if you do, please choose something better. That garbage does not deserve your effort.

Even if it's good, their long term goal will always be to appease their advertising customers, not you. Google has the ability more than anyone else to make the perfect search engine but they're not spending their time and resources on that because that's not what will increase their revenue. That model is just fundamentally broken.

Not everyone has this luxury, but I just close the website and never use it. So far, I haven't run into anything major that doesn't work with firefox, so this strategy has been working for me so far.

There are projects out there with excellent practices with a good culture surrounding quality where people aren’t told to kill themselves. There are other ways to establish that culture and set high expectations.
