  In the case of MAGA it’s more about Trump telling them it’s the minorities fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are a lot more alike than we are different⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Problem is that people are easily told that their less-than-optimal situation is the fault of those people, regardless of it being true or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are a lot more alike than we are different⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It may be more directed at them than you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Five flavors 🤤⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, there’s also “punk goes pop” stuff

  My favorite. Those lyrics were surprisingly unsettling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True, really wish that could just be a them problem though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, there doesn’t seem to be a good way to make voting not at the very least semi-public anyway so just stop a) pretending the information is protected and b) remove the not-a-disagree-button-but-totally-a-disagree-button. There is a report link for rules violations, maybe a separate one for spam would be good as well, otherwise, I don’t know, just allow people to add an actual poll to comments if they want to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just do it ✅⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this one of those hacking tools?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calculus made easy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, my issue is with the presentation, not the actual content. I’ve also experience my share of elitism from people who seem to think that you either get it or are too stupid/lazy, there couldn’t possibly also be an issue with the teaching methods and notation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calculus made easy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Algebraic notation breaks just about every rule programmers are taught about keeping their code human readable.

  • Variable and function names should be descriptive
  • Don’t cram everything into one line
  • Break up large statements
  • Consistency is key
  • Don’t be fancy for fancy’s sake, don’t over-optimize (this is for learning, remember?)
  • Add in-line comments for lines that aren’t easily grasped
  • Be explicit when possible
  • …

  And then people wonder why so many just don’t “get it”.

  The next question is going to be what the maximum number of steps an ant can store is and what happens when it overflows…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEARN THE DIFFERENCE PEOPLE 👏👏👏⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate your whimper

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨local hunger games construction almost complete⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The law really need to be changed when it comes to this stuff, I’d rather take the inefficiency or even corruption than this (also inefficient and corrupt) nonsense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phasers set to "Bitch please"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  To me the relationship between Stamets and Culber felt like the single island of humanity and goodness in the four seasons I almost got through. And then they fridged Culber, only to then bring him back with mushroom trauma. Not really the woke thing to do. Adira and Gray just seemed kinda pointless from what I remember, despite the somewhat interesting backstory.

  What I found forced and entirely unnecessary was Lt. Connolly in the first episode of the second season.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learned from Kira⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That take seems too measured for some people, sadly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are speaking with ChatGPT for hours, bringing 2013’s Her closer to reality⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What if there was a growing subset of computers that preferred not to communicate with their own kind. Does not respond to API requests, etc. but only to human emotional text input?

  Troi: Have you ever heard Data define friendship?
  Riker: No.
  Troi: How did he put it? As I experience certain sensory input patterns, my mental pathways become accustomed to them. The inputs eventually are anticipated and even missed when absent.
  Riker: So what's the point?
  Troi: He's used to us, and we're used to him.

  Yeah, also writing 10 GB of data to rolls of sticky tape in the late 90s. It can be done, but it’s not practical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nooo! He is a pretty cat, and a good cat!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a very Brent Spiner thing to say, doesn’t mean he actually hated that cat. And it wasn’t just one cat playing the role anyway. Most if not all of them were good cats I’m sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skip server registration for selfhosted Rocketchat?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have an answer for you, just a warning: This is par for the course when it comes to Rocketchat, every major version seems to come with another piece of nagware, another limit, another thing paywalled. I run a server for the non-profit I work for and they haven’t even replied to my mails about maybe offering more affordable licensing for non-profit/education. Rocketchat narrowly won out over Matrix when Covid started but it sure as hell wouldn’t now.

  The author of this article is not nearly old enough to be a boomer though. This is outrage bait.

  Oh no!
