Really not looking forward to the idea of github.io links all becoming dead. So many repos with documentation at a github.io URL, with those links spread all across plaintext files and Stack Overflow and forums

To avoid sea ice, they entered an area they are legally allowed to enter… okay

Are you American though? Here in the UK, nobody really owns a plunger and they don’t need to, the plumbing is different, it doesn’t clog. Do need to own a toilet brush though, to wipe off the skidmarks, which is more rare in the US.

"1" + 2 === "12" is not unique to JS (sans the requirement for the third equals sign), it’s a common feature of multiple strongly typed languages. imho it’s fine.

EDIT: I did some testing:

What it works in:

• JS
• TS
• Java
• C#
• C++
• Kotlin
• Groovy
• Scala
• PowerShell

What produces a number, instead of a string:

• PHP
• SQL
• Perl
• VB
• Lua

What it doesn’t work in:

• R
• C
• Go
• Swift
• Rust
• Python
• Pascal
• Ruby
• Objective C
• Julia
• Fortran
• Ada
• Dart
• D
• Elixir

And MATLAB appears to produce 51, wtf idk

But they don’t plan to drop MV2 though

And not all homeless people are sleeping rough, some are in temporary accommodation etc

I have to write powershell scripts and bash scripts at work. I hear people saying bash is great, powershell is bad, all the time in public, but honestly I feel like these people have barely actually written powershell. It’s a bit wordy, but it feels much more intuitive to me, much more akin to regular programming languages.

If it’s a windowsill nook, I guess an alcove, then about the most common thing I see people use them for is smoking

Unless everybody fully customises the display and styling of the adverts for their own website, there’s going to be some sort of targetable, recognisable pattern in the way AdSense content looks. Most developers just want an easy drop-in solution.

Furthermore, Google don’t necessarily want to give you that level of control over the adverts, because that makes it easier to game the ads system with malicious, fake and misleading clicks or invisible adverts. They need their tracking tech attached to it.

And certainly now that I’ve fully left Reddit, I’m no longer spreading the word of Lemmy there

This is just terrible.

However, while it does add a layer of annoyance that’ll mess things up for most, like any DRM, it fundamentally is unsound and will get cracked. Us good people have a big incentive to do so here. Reading the spec, it still relies on a trusted party (expected to be the OS) and, unlike ie. games consoles, we already have admin access to that party from the get go.

Where it could be a problem is mobile phones. They could target browsers that support ad blocking and you’d probably need to root the phone to get past that.

Jerboa has the column separators. Looks like it also has alternately shaded rows.

And I’m sure there are many cases where an attempted EEE failed, but that doesn’t get documented in the history, because you only notice it when it is effective.

Meta isn’t even entering the Lemmy space yet, they’re entering the Mastodon space. They can hardly extend and extinguish Lemmy when they are just barely feature compatible to begin with. Yes it’s all Fediverse, but it’s pretty different.

The audience, use cases and purposes are different between Lemmy and Threads. At least for now. Consider defederating if that changes

Yeah, but if they do try to dictate standards, then react, defederate, that’s all I’m saying. I just don’t think we need to be proactive here, our tools to react are fast acting and simple.

If they do go for the dreaded Embrace, Extend, Extinguish method, then let’s ride the benefits of “Embrace” and lose them when they move on to the next steps.

Given that everything right now is just speculation - I say sit tight, observe what actually happens and respond appropriately if it does start to go wrong. Defederation is very easy, we can do it when we need to

WhatsApp is owned and fully controlled by Meta. The Fediverse is federated and that’s the beauty of it. They can’t control it

I’ve tried to avoid pooping for long car journeys and such. I’ve found that if I avoid eating solids too much, then liquids come out my ass. And it’s much harder to stop them. Stop drinking and you’re hit with dehydration.

However, in situations like these, there’s a fine line between avoiding pissing out your backside and constipating yourself like a bricked up tunnel.

Excellent! Batteries in modern phones are surprisingly definitely removable and replaceable. I’ve done it multiple times. However, the unfriendly barrier to entry is glue and clips that require careful prying with spugers. It’s quite clear manufacturers are happy blocking you getting in; plenty people just buy new phones when the battery gets too old.
