Apathy Tree

Thanks for the info. That’s horrifying.

People can’t even drive properly with both pedals…

Wait, evs don’t have a separate brake pedal?

I definitely can’t.

I substantially reduced tp use, but female anatomy makes that level of frugality nearly impossible, at least without uncomfortably damp undies, in my experience. 😅

Best I managed before the swap was one 24 pack for a year. Still very good, but room for improvement :)

I also got a bidet, but then I went one further and got small towels to wipe up the water.

Pack of 50 cheap washcloths isn’t that much more than a pack of nice toilet paper, but they can go through the wash in a sanitary cycle with bleach and I can reuse them until they fall apart. Then I just need toilet paper for visitors.

It sounds kinda ick, I know, but consider that we wash underpants, and what’s the difference?

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, I appreciate it!

That makes sense as to why Mozilla would be developing rust, then, thank you :)

One last (probably) follow-up question - is the payment to those companies for support purposes, or is it a license to even use the language? Like if you write your whatever in one language and then decide to swap…… umm… service providers I guess (maybe MSP situation?), do you need to re-write your entire whatever to no longer use it, or do you just no longer have support for issues?

Excellent thanks, I’ll look into that, and thank you for the information :)

You say “we” which hints that you have (some?) experience in the field, do you have any insight as to why one would want to create a new language rather than just helping to refine an existing one or something? Do they end up too bloated or do they function inherently differently or some other thing I haven’t thought of…?

Interesting, thanks for the response, that gives me something to look for :)

And yeah, that last bit does rather sound likely ;)

I don’t think that’s true on a site like Lemmy, where you have a -lot- of hardcore techies interacting with non-techies and encouraging them to learn. And also just non-techies constantly exposed to info about tech. There’s so much tech stuff here it’s impossible to avoid.

As a direct result of being on Lemmy, I’m familiar with rust (vaguely, but I know there are projects to re-code stuff in rust, and that it’s supposed to be a more robust language for… reasons), and care enough to read about it when there are posts I can understand about it (my tech level is sort of… on the low end of intermediate) but I don’t know anything about how web browsers work, because it’s just never come up.

This makes me really curious in a way I’m not really sure how to search for (and I certainly don’t expect you to have an answer, but maybe someone does)…

How does one actually go about developing a new coding language? I assume it’s something that you need to…… translate to assembly in some way (I’m not advanced techie, but my understanding is that at core everything is assembly, and code languages are on top of that)? And what’s the purpose of developing more languages anyway?

I’ve tried really hard, and sampled many brands, but other than soy in lattes sometimes, I can’t stand plant based milk in my coffee. Some of it is fine stuff for other uses, or even just drinking, but it just doesn’t come close to the flavor I like as part of my wake up routine. And if my coffee isn’t good it sours my whole day, just a bit.

I’d love to have something that tastes like milk and feels like milk and does the job of milk, but is vegan.

This is always what my YouTube homepage looks like because I only access it in ghostery browser, using a ghost tab by default (like incognito/private/inprivate, but because ghostery, also blocks tracking, cookies, etc.)

I typically completely close the browser between links (it’s my default link handling browser for Lemmy), so it gets reset frequently enough to have nothing on home if I actually navigate there.

If there’s fake ones and people show up for them because they saw them on the map, are they fake?

I saw a depressing comic like that… civilization has collapsed, no humans left, and the invisible hand of the market keeps raising prices.

I tried to find it for you but there are a lot of invisible hand of the market comics and I’m not good enough to find it :(

That’s what H1B visas are for! Then they get dumb labor, and cheap skilled slaves beholden to them to keep their visa and thus life intact!

(Wish I were joking, but this is all facts)

Stop redirecting them. Make it cost them.

Tell your neighbors to file an “it arrived late” or “it didn’t arrive” complaint. Get two and send one back. Their fault for being shit companies.

If something is delivered to you by mistake, it’s not your responsibility to fix the mistake, you just got free stuff.

If it goes through USPS, it might be a federal offense to open stuff delivered via USPS, but is that true of third party parcel delivery? Almost certainly not, because USPS is a government org and those third party shit delivery companies aren’t…

So now any package that’s delivered to me by anyone other than USPS… it’s mine now, and I open it to see if I want whatever trash my neighbors are buying.

I used to try to fix the problem… but then I realized it’s NOT MY PROBLEM.

time to bunker down extra hard

Is this a typo/autocorrect or an eggcorn? I really like bunker down as an eggcorn, because it makes good sense, so I hope that’s what it is (the phrase is supposed to be hunker down). :)

Oh shit lineage was cyanogen? I used that back in the day and loved it!

I’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the tidbit!

Am I the only one surprised there were even that many in the first place?
