I wouldn’t be surprised if my town was the exception and not the norm (I’m from a relatively progressive town in a consistently blue state) but at my public high school I only knew of 1-2 people out of the 500 people in my grade that stood up during the pledge of allegiance and a good percentage of the grade hated them because they were high key homophobic.

Doesn’t W3C already maintain the ActivityPub protocol?

Edit: nevermind I misunderstood this

Am I the only one who sees this as a sloth instead of a helmet?

Yes? Ok maybe I’m going crazy

This has to be bait… I refuse to believe someone would see this meme and think it’s trying to say that people are literally being stabbed.

From the article

The first five implants took place last year in the US and all received donor hearts before being discharged from hospital, with the longest time in between implant and transplant 27 days.

Seems like the initial trials are using it as a temporary measure until a donor heart can be transplanted

Kitty has multiplexing built in so it can also replace a lot of what tmux does (unless you’re using tmux over ssh)

Obligatory “I’m a cis man” but this scenario is most of my extended family right now, with the lucky exceptions of my parents, siblings, and grandparents. I’m pretty sure they’ve all said this exact line multiple times.

Probably performance - the Java server takes up a lot of memory and CPU for what it does. The base implementation first started in 2011, so it wasn’t exactly designed to be multithreaded or parallelized because most games were still largely single-threaded at the time. Rewriting it from scratch in a different language probably helps with that

… and are keeping the hate to the appropriate boards (X, I believe it’s called nowadays). Should we contract his work and apply it where applicable?

There is no “appropriate board” for hate speech, whether it’s antisemitism, transphobia, or anything else. If you wouldn’t want someone to be a nazi in your office, why would you pay them if you know they’re a nazi somewhere else? Is it fine as long as it’s someone else’s problem?

On another level, if you had to pay a developer, and you have reason to think they might donate the money you give them to an antisemitic cause, or directly use it to fund their own antisemitism, would you still want to give them that money? Or maybe look elsewhere, even if it means getting something slightly worse?

Somehow this post has negative down votes and I’m all for it.

Chat are we cooked?

The 3 worst ones that immediately came to my head were Kingsley Shacklebolt (he’s Black), Cho Chang (she’s East Asian), and the Patil twins (they’re Indian). I’m sure there are others that are just as bad though, alongside the numerous other stereotypes in the stories (the house elves, the goblins, etc.).

I read those books as a child and then a few years ago I rewatched some of the movies and realized how awful the subliminal messaging is.

Pretty interesting how the number of active users per month has been fluctuating up/down but the number of comments and posts per month has been steadily going up

Isn’t servo mostly a Mozilla-led project? I thought servo would probably just replace gecko as the engine firefox used if it ends up succeeding

Reaching a middle ground on an Internet discussion? No, it can’t be. There must be something wrong here. I need to keep arguing about minor things like daily routines. Why else would I be here?

/s if it wasn’t obvious. This thread makes me happy, have a good day :)

Obviously, it’s a silly semantic debate, and someone could equally judge me for wanting my coffee beans roasted and ground “why not eat the berries fresh if you say you love coffee‽”.

My point is that it would be silly to judge someone for this, just like it’s silly to judge someone for putting creamer in coffee.

Edit: also, what about drinks like mochas, cappuccinos, macchiatos, etc. which also have other ingredients mixed in? Generally it’s still fine to call those forms of coffee, no?

Random side note: I’ve had chocolate-dipped espresso beans before and they’re actually a pretty good snack. You just can’t eat too many of them because of the caffeine content.

I think the idea is that you can eventually get an approximation of whatever wave-like curve you want by merging several pure sin/cos functions with varying amplitudes, wavelengths, and offsets

Fun fact: this is mostly how JPEG works - it uses fourier transforms to approximate an image in a way that takes up much less storage than storing information about each pixel.

Yeah that’s still gatekeeping though. Coffee is coffee regardless of what you put in it. Even if it’s gross according to my own individual taste, it’s still coffee. Saying anything else is just “better-than-you” gatekeeping.

Edit: it’s also nothing like your example at all, because coffee with creamer is still literally made with real coffee, while an apple jacks pop tart is almost definitely not made with real apples.

Imagine gatekeeping caffeine

OP mentioned having used Linux for 4 weeks. If they are interested in learning more about Linux, I feel like even Arch would be a better next step.

I love NixOS and have been using it for over a year at this point but sometimes when things don’t work I feel like I’m banging my head against a wall. I’ve been using Linux for ~7 years now.
