many posts on reddit literally are from karma farming bots though. predictable username pattern, repost from half a year ago with the exact same title that gets deleted exactly 24h later…

what kind of config file is short enough to fit on a single screen with line breaks?

Alright, the YAML spec is a dang mess, that I’ll grant you, but it seems pretty easy for my human eyes to read and write. As for JSON – seriously? That’s probably the easiest to parse human-readable structured data format there is!

Some data formats are easy for humans to read but difficult for computers to efficiently parse. Others, like packed binary data, are dead simple for computers to parse but borderline impossible for a human to read.

XML bucks this trend and bravely proves that data formats do not have to be one or the other by somehow managing to be bad at both.

Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

That is actually the best way of putting it.

USB-PD changes thr main voltage in response to a handshake protocol on the C1 and C2 data lines, which this cable likely doesn’t connect for precisely this reason. Qualcomm QC still uses D+ and D- to negotiate the higher voltage, which this cable likely wouldn’t connect either.

have you considered just not listening to AI bros and not letting their opinions upset you

That’s assuming this cable forwards PD signals at all.

Especially when U+26E5 ⛥ is right there, and much closer to the current logo. Add lines connecting the outside and you’re basically there. If we made a font that rendered the sequence U+26E5 ⛥ + U+200D ZWJ + U+2B20 ⬠ as the Fediverse logo, and set it as default on Fediverse web platforms, we could go a long way towards getting it adopted.

U+26E5 RIGHT-HANDED INTERLACED PENTAGRAM and U+2B20 WHITE PENTAGON, for those curious

I’m autistic also and I understood it just fine.

If you use the browser version of Zoom, it would have no way to know

OP should consider screen-recording her zoom calls.

What smear campaign? Here’s the lead developer of the project responding to a pull request replacing “he” with “they” in the build instructions with “This project is not an appropriate avenue to advertise your personal politics.”

(side note: freefall is an awesome webcomic, you should read it!)

i was more referring to the fact that as a snark community they don’t necessarily represent the best of us

Of course they can. Dictionaries are not the Bible. They exist to describe how words are used, not how they should be used. Words’ meaning changes over time (“gay” meant “happy” in the 20th century, to use the tired example) and new words get added to the dictionary every day (most dictionary websites have little blurbs showing words they’ve recently added). Dictionaries have historically, and continue to, change in response to how people use words, not the other way around. If your entire argument rests on the dictionary definition of the word “protest” not explicitly mentioning that to be considered a protest, something must be disruptive, it’s not a very good argument.

It also fails to consider that methods of convincing people who would rather simply ignore the issue to care about it that are not disruptive are few and far between.

Ah yes, the massively disruptive tactic of checks notes saying genocide is 1) bad and 2) happening prior to playing a piano piece. You’re right, he’s really crossed the line this time. How can he ever expect to garner support like that?

He’s almost as bad as the people with megaphones and signs marching and repeating chants!

And when exactly did “people turn it into” that? The purpose of a picket line is to be disruptive, and people have been doing those for over a century.
