What priorities are there? I’m talking about emotions, not actions.

You can feel bad for both the children of this guy that will now grow up without a father and the millions of people he harmed at the same time. I’m not even saying I feel equally as bad for his children as his victims’ children (because losing a parent to a preventable death due to insurance is objectively a worse situation). All I’m saying is it’s reasonable to feel sympathy for both. It’s not like the kids had a choice in what their dad did.

It isn’t impossible to feel bad for both?

You can feel bad for his family while also not feeling bad about his death. Losing a loved one is hard regardless of how much money you have. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t ultimately a net positive (although I’m doubtful that UH will actually change any policies because of this)

This could actually make sense if those bot posts that mirror reddit subs are included in this number since those don’t really get any comments

Decentralized/OSS platforms >>> Multiple competing centralized platforms >>> One single centralized platform

Bluesky and Threads are both bad but having more options than Twitter/X is still a step in the right direction, especially given the direction Musk is taking it in. As much as I like the fediverse (I won’t be using either Threads or BlueSky anytime soon), it still has a lot of problems surrounding ease of use. Lemmy, Mastodon, Misskey, etc. would benefit a lot from improving the signup process so that the average user doesn’t need to be overwhelmed with picking an instance and understanding how federation works.

It got revived also! They’re back on F-droid as well, not sure about it being the same developer as this though since I don’t use friendica

edit: here’s the new GitHub link: https://github.com/LiveFastEatTrashRaccoon/RaccoonForLemmy

I like the idea of the local feed, especially for smaller, less generalized instances, but the default should definitely be federated and the wording could also be changed if only because the word “federated” would probably be confusing to non-technical people. Replacing it with something like “All” might be a better idea

Piggybacking off this comment because I completely agree with it.

Did we not learn anything from CrowdStrike? If a comparatively simple fix was able to wipe out half the world, how would something that requires an active choice (where to get certs from) not completely cripple all of our infrastructure?

The problem is that it won’t stop people from using Google. Most people probably wouldn’t even notice aside from having to spend more time searching for local things, which incidentally will give Google more ad money.

The average person probably doesn’t know that search engines other than Google or Bing (or maybe Yahoo if they’re old enough) even exist. As much as it worries me that most of Firefox’s revenue comes from having Google as the default search engine, regulating that practice might actually give other search engines a chance to be seen.

Zangoose is a Pokemon, there’s probably hundreds of sites with it

You have found neither my site nor a site talking about me

Hey did you know that any JSON file is also a valid YAML file? I bet you’ll love YAML a lot more now that you have this information

I don’t have any GitHub.io sites but I appreciate the joke :)

How did you find one of my GitHub repos?

I haven’t checked back on it since I stopped using reddit (and I no longer use a surface pro) but there was a pretty active surface Linux community there as well with some good resources. For a lot of models you’ll need a USB keyboard/mouse to actually install the distro but once you can load the custom surface linux kernel things worked pretty well for me.

There are actually relatively easy (easy compared to building a nuclear reactor) ways to deal with the waste that involve mixing it with concrete and glass so it can be safely stored in a way that won’t impact the surrounding environment. Kyle Hill has a great video about this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k

It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That’s how foreign languages work.

How is the word pronounced though?

One step at a time 😭

Even if they were rate limiting they’re still just using the bot to train an AI. If it’s from a company there’s a 99% chance the bot is bad. I’m leaving 1% for whatever the Internet Archive (are they even a company tho?) is doing.

There are a few libraries we’re using that stopped being developed after Angular ~9-10 and one we use extensively with breaking changes between 10-12. Updating to 8 wasn’t too bad but for some reason Angular’s update tool didn’t actually do anything so I had to update the package.json manually and fix stuff by hand (luckily the only change was fixed with a bulk find/replace)

To me at least angular makes a bit more sense than React’s way of doing things does. React tries to be functional with its components and yet it seems like they end up basically trying to mimic classes with useState and useEffect. To me Angular’s class-based approach makes a bit more sense (though I am primarily interested in backend development more than frontend so that could be why)

It does kind of fall into a lot of the traps of Object-Oriented programming though so I can see why a lot of people don’t like it
