Imagine if Americans use a different unit system for time 😱

We’re close to skipping a second too here on earth since the Earth had actually sped up a bit the past decade.

The fact that this post get as much ↓s as ↑s strengthens OPs whole argument.

Markup language ≠ programming language.
Markups produce layout, not code.
Typesetting (the Gutenberg way) produce books, not run the looms.

Ah, Japan, the country that lives in the future, if the future is the year 2000.

My eyes sheds a little tear seeing Terryisms live on in the lingos of the tech savvies.

We don’t know how the fediverse would play out in the long term but I expect a few things:

• Lemmy devs will implement locking old posts in the future
• instance owners will decide on their post locking policies
• Many instances will not survive for as long as Reddit survived till today
• Third party archivers (perhaps archive.org among others) will need to step in and archive posts. Ofc archived posts is not interactible.

What’s the purple masto?

Then we’ll ship the AI.

…what do you mean, all the ICBM silo doors are opening?

Trying to write tests for the spaghetti mess of a code of your app: 💀💀💀

This is why I don’t get why the 9th of November is such a big deal.

Tablets don’t have gpios tho

There’s a lot of artists on the microblog side of the fediverse. It’s just that crossing the boundary to the threadiverse side is a big hassle. Not to mention the one way state of federation between lemmy and mastodon right now makes the other half invisible from this side.

IMHO video links should always be YouTube first, then third party mirror second, in the body or comments. Here are the reasons:

1. YouTube is the primary source. Always prioritize the primary source when you’re sourcing.
2. Think of the URL being shared as the primary key to a database record. Lemmy can use it to detect dupes. With YouTube URL there’s like 3 forms, discounting timestamps. With piped links the possibility expanded to 3+(number of piped instances on the web). This massively increases the likelihood of accidental reposts.
3. Give people a choice of whether they want to watch on the original site, or on a piped instance of their own choosing. When you link to a piped instance link you rob people of that choice.
4. A piped instance can choke or go offline at any time. YouTube is close to 100% uptime.
5. Userscript wise, it’s trivial to map YouTube URLs to a user’s piped instance of choice, but it’s so much more tedious to detect and map every single piped instance.

Let’s just keep multi level cells to just flash memory.

most USB connectors, have a situation where there’s a male prong in the middle of a ‘female’ connector.

A little role-reversal [plug-n-]play 😳

Iirc there was a bug with an older version of Lemmy that turns off propagation of content from outside communities/magazines/channels after 3 days without activity. It might have stayed that way even after the updates. Try unsubbing and resubbing again.

My editor turns tabs into 4 spaces. No more “mixing tabs and spaces” errors afterwards.

Most disingenuous post ever.

The image shown is a dude with a browser dev console, probably measuring a div for the its CSS size (which do support centimeters and inches).

In python, 4 spaces is just enough spacing between indent levels. And if your levels get too deep it’s a sign that you’re not being pythonic. Nesting too deep is the problem, not the whitespacing being significant.
