I'm not sure that's really true. The only thing they've pointed at is that prosecutor being fired in Ukraine, but that was because the prosecutor was corrupt and people all over the world were calling for it. Also the prosecutor was notably corrupt by not investigating the company Hunter was working for (so Joe getting them fired actually went against his son's interests)

I strongly support more elder scrolls content on lemmy

I don't think there's any malice here. Someone just forgot to put up a robots.txt on the bard website.

lemmy.world is down right now and your app is showing the raw HTML that is being returned (a CloudFlare 502 page)

The software is a little clunky but this is everything I dreamed of when I got half way through making a peer-to-peer reddit clone in 2015 and gave up lol

I didn't make the meme, I saw it on twitter and thought it was funny in a self deprecating way.

I'm in favour of legalisation but weed smells like wet socks lol

Wow another coup in francophone Africa. I wonder if the regional democratic powers not intervening in Niger encouraged this.

Hi, I've been doing TypeScript in my day-job and hobbies for six and a bit years now. I would not write JS in any other way.

TS is also a superset of JS so all JS is valid (unless you turn on strict mode). So there is no productivity loss/learning curve unless you want there to be.

In fact, a lot of people who think they're not using typescript are using it because their editors use typescript definitions for autocomplete and JSDoc type signatures are powered by typescript.

I feel like shitty sites getting too good at SEO has largely made google useless. That's why you had to append "Reddit" to get any useful info that wasn't from some SEO scamsite.

Get a bidet

You need everyone else in the EU to agree to remove them. Poland and Hungary sort of protect each other from EU consequences.

Sync for Lemmy, JetBrains IDEs, and Sublime Text to name a few.

I think they're lawful evil, more devils than demons.

A crash is different to a SEGFAULT. I'd be very surprised to see a safe rust program segfault unless it was actively exploiting a compiler bug.

Having a Result[T, Err] monad that could represent either the data from a successful operation or an error. This can be generalised to the Either[A, B] monad too.

This article does not claim otherwise.

Two things can be bad at the same time.

idk I played Morrowind because I was a huge fan of Oblivion and Skyrim, but when I built my first computer of my own it couldn't play either due to running on integrated graphics until I got a GPU. Ended up getting Morrowind to have something I could play.

I used the cross post button in the webapp, so it links them together. You could try raising a feature request to your client to do some sort of handling of that.

Yeah, that's largely what happened with email too. It's a decentralised network but most people just pick a big provider and stick with that (which is absolutely fine)

Just a note that my PR there doesn't disable pictrs for your own instance's users. It just disables the caching of remote content.

Conscripting occupied civilians is a war crime.

Couldn't the general assembly just acknowledge that the RF does not inherit the Soviet Union veto? Same way that they stripped Taiwan of their veto. I don't think that would require a security council vote.

eh I use Linux on my desktop but macOS is a nicely polished UNIX operating system. It's only locked down for average users, you can usually get away with a quick sudo or worst-case going into single user mode and disabling some system protections.

I definitely prefer using *nix operating systems, and macOS gives me that for portable computing. I'm still more productive on Linux, but it's not too far apart.

The Lemmy instance I'm speaking from right now is running in my k8s cluster.

You don't need to do anything when you get a security advisory if you're not impacted or the risk is acceptable. They're just there to advise you.

You should refactor as needed as you go because refactoring cases are never gonna be prioritised.

The UN has not resolved that the Russian Federation is the Soviet Union w.r.t. veto powers. It's just been assumed. For the PRC there was an actual vote.

Ukraine legally has just as much of a right to the Soviet Union veto.

It's falsifying business records, which becomes a felony when combined with it being a campaign finance violation.

Not as strong of a case as the docs one but it is a crime.

Technically only some of HK was under the lease, some was indefinitely controlled by the British. However, you're still right because of the military force difference.

The web is built on hot linking hypermedia. It is more fragile obviously, but it distributes the bandwidth and storage load. If nobody hotlinked, then small forum admins/Lemmy admins/etc. have considerably more cost to bear.

I wrote a patch for Lemmy a week or so ago if you want to skip the caching: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3897

Oh wow, this is tragic

The situation in Niger is directly contrary to US interests given that there are moves towards asking the US to leave alongside the French + the coup government contacted Wagner/is already aligned with Wagner-backed regimes. The US does a lot of fucked up stuff in the world but it would make no sense for them to be involved here.

I use an adblocker but I turn it off for sites I like and want to support.

That flag exists, it's called unsafe for if you need to tell the borrow checker to trust you or unwrap if you don't want to deal with handling errors on most ADTs.

You can always cast anything to an unmanaged pointer type and use it in unsafe code.
