Today, shipping with X11 is not a negative. Wayland is not a feature complete replacement for X yet. I say this as someone that uses Wayland on my work machine and has a few lingering issues with it which require workarounds or “just dealing with it.”

This makes me so nervous about how AI is going to influence children and adolescents of the coming generations. From iPad kids to AI teens. They’ll be at a huge risk of dissociation from reality.
Agreed.
And sometimes code is not the right medium for communicating domain knowledge. For example, if you are writing code the does some geometric calculations, with lot of trigonometry, etc. Even with clear variable names, it can be hard to decipher without a generous comment or splitting it up into functions with verbose names. Sometimes you really just want a picture of what’s happening, in SVG format, embedded into the function documentation HTML.
Sounds a lot like the AT Protocol.

74 episodes. Psychological thriller. Serial murder mystery, but instead of “whodunit?” it’s “whydunit?”. Dramatic as an opera. No weird tropes. Superb character development. I love Magnificent Steiner.
Being eternally trapped in a mental prison. Imagine having a panic attack that never ends. I’m pretty sure that type of prolonged stress would cause a psychotic break where your psyche fractures and you become a despondent shell. You would become deathly afraid of everything, even the people you love, because of an unceasing paranoia. That basically sounds like hell to me.
I’m not really afraid of the idea of nothingness after death, because at least then I am released from the torment of living.
My point wasn’t so much that I think RED is shady but that exposing my IP seems like an unnecessary requirement to join. Why can I not have my membership tracked via an anonymous account? If they are concerned about account harvesting or something, then the interview already seems like a good enough measure, accompanied by seed ratio minimums.
There are plenty of good resources online. Here are some topics you probably wouldn’t see in an intro algos course (which I’ve actually used in my career). And I highly recommend finding the motivation for each of these in application rather than just learning them abstractly.
Sir, I estimate the project will be completed in 135 days and 11 hours.
I’d wish for humanity to transcend our physical form and live in a virtual world as gods.
Workaround: wish to be reincarnated as an immortal.
I’ll check it out.
Not sure how definitive that OPM classification is, but I see OPM as a seinen that deconstructs shonen via satire. It presents the absurdity of the superhero endgame with a troubled god-like protagonist. It also redefines what it means to be a hero in a realistic and inspiring way (via Mumen Rider).
I’m generally picky about how I spend large amounts of time. As an adolescent I watched like 700 episodes of One Piece but I eventually gave up. At this point I can’t be bothered with any Shonen; they’re the equivalent of junk food. Even Mob Psycho 100 started getting tiresome in season 3.
I’ve never appreciated bishoujo/harem garbage; I had coworkers that watched it regularly and it was very off-putting. They are horny and delusional, pretending there is substance.
But I still think there’s a lot of solid art in manga/anime. I tend to look for popular seinen manga that turned into anime, like Akira, Berserk, Monster, Ghost in the Shell, Death Note, One Punch Man. But even some of those end up going downhill or failing to evolve out of the “edgy and violent” stage, e.g. Attack on Titan.
Clearly the garbage is what makes money, which is a huge shame.
And AFAIK Hayao Miyazaki does not like to be associated with the Anime genre and would prefer being grouped with the likes of Disney. And I think that’s quite appropriate.
In Settings > Blocks > Blocked Instances
I think it’s just the communities that don’t appear.
Actually I can read this. Apparently blocking instances doesn’t block their comments in communities that aren’t hosted on the blocked instance.
Sorry if this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but how do we know that BlueSky isn’t padding their stats with internal bots? I could see this being a viable strategy to attract users and overcome the social network bootstrapping problem.
That’s a good point. Honestly I didn’t notice all of those posts were from a single community, though in hindsight that makes a lot of sense.
Not because I’ve had any kind of bad experience with users on this instance, but I don’t care for the posts on lemmy.blahaj.zone. I honestly just got tired of seeing the “Rule” posts; it’s like 90% of their posts!
Is this significantly different from the QBitTorrent search engine?
