Not really, I have a medical condition where I can’t imagine anything in my mind, those things literally don’t and can’t do anything for me.

Don’t do these, it feels weird, giving myself ultimatums just because an arbitrary point in our way around the sun passed.

Nice cherrypicking. No, far left for adoring Stalin, deepthroating Russian propaganda and claiming Ukraine is full of Nazis and poor Russia had to react, claiming the Russian war they started in Ukraine is actually started by NATO, claiming that Russia and China are not imperialist countries and so on. Claiming that Russia and China support trans, gay and other minority people and the vile west doesn’t. Claiming that what’s happening to Uyghurs is made up.

There’s soooo much far left extremism here, way more than I ever encountered anywhere else. Maybe because I never wanted to be part of such a group. But I came with the group that disliked the Reddit api changes and Lemmy really looked like a (smaller and cozier) Reddit replacement at that time.

Most of the content from back then died out, but idiots (who would be among the first to be executed if their dream of regime change happened) cosplaying as leftists stayed.

Liberal, to me, is the opposite of authoritarian. No idea what other people consider it to be, but IMO it’s entirely disconnected from the left/right spectrum. You can have authoritarian left, right or center, same way with liberal.

Because it is? If private ownership of everything is the capitalist goal, aka far right, then people owning everything is obviously its exact opposite, aka far left.

We’re currently somewhere in the middle, leaning towards right. Some places further than others.

I think you underestimate how good AI translations are.

That game’s really great, definitely better than at launch. Still many bugs, but it’s been fun playing with my partner on our local server.

Oh yeah, holding a mass, that’s gonna help the sick. Ridiculous delusional man.

While I mostly agree, one of my counterpoints is stuff where they describe what something looks like for 4 or so pages. I’m simply not gonna read it, full stop, no exception. Stuff like that is not challenging, it’s boring.

PHP_EOL depends on your host system, it’s \r\n on Windows.

I don’t really want to use what Lerdorf intended, PHP <= 4 was horrible, 5.x was mainly getting slowly rid of nonsense and with 7.x PHP started its slow path of redemption and entered its modern era.

While Lerdorf’s vision was great at that time for its intended use case, I wouldn’t want to build anything serious in it.

Interesting read and definitely matches my own feelings about string theory, dark matter and dark energy.

Every troll server gets defederated from by everyone. And every troll gets banned on the normal servers. I think the federated nature is a blessing, those assholes have their own part of the internet which is usually far from my part of the internet.

Indeed. And what fascinates me the most is how well it holds up after so many years, there’s no other book that’s still so engaging for me, especially given I’m a very different person than I was 18 years ago.

Sapkowski’s writing is awesome.

In PHP it exists as well. I try to use PHP_EOL but when I’m lazy I simply do “\n”.

It got awkward when King decided to be a character in his own story. But aside from that I really enjoyed them.

Witcher, I’ve read it at least once every two/three years for the last 18 years and it’s still entertaining.

Looks interesting!

You should have seen some of the work cocaine parties I’ve seen. But granted, I’ve never seen a work-related opium event.

You should stop using Lemmy too
