god, what a beautiful language. it brings a tear to my eye
i will never forgive C for making the type syntax be
char* args[]
instead of the much more reasonable
&[char] args
it also bothers me that char* args[]
and char c
are “the same type” in the sense that the compiler lets you write
char c, *args[5];
with no problems. i think the C languages would be way easier to learn if they had better type syntax. don’t even get me started on C++ adding support for
auto fn_name() -> ReturnType { … }
i’m partial to “eviscerate”. but i agree, i feel like these headlines are just a more clickbaity way of communicating “X says Y” and typically that’s not super interesting. especially when lots of other people are already saying Y.
slamming alone is not enough i’m afraid. they also need to “rip” and “jab” them
mtg would have a meltdown if you asked her what day of the week it is. it’s the only reaction she’s capable of
i don’t know about you but i’m still in 2024. didn’t seem like 2024 would be worth switching to
No crawlers ever go there.
if it makes you feel any better, i would go there if i was a web crawler.
i think that’s fair point. language does work both ways, and i am certainly not in the majority with this opinion. but what bothers me is that it feels like they’re changing the definition of the word and piggybacking off of its old meaning. i know this kind of thing isn’t all that uncommon, but it still rubs me the wrong way.
i think we give silicon valley too much linguistic power. there should really be more pushback on them rebranding LLMs as AI. it’s just a bunch of marketing nonsense that we’re letting them get away with.
(i know that LLMs are studied in the field of computer science that’s known as artificial intelligence, but i really don’t think that subtlety is properly communicated to the general public.)
is “rips” the new “slams”?
i think zuckerberg kissed his ass harder and more affectionately than tiktok did
completely agreeing, 10 times
you drive a hard bargain
i agree with what you’re saying and i think we’re mostly on the same page here. i just felt it would be worth saying that, from my perspective, the point of the fediverse isn’t to compete with those websites but instead to be an alternative to them. it’s to offer a picture of what social media can be like without dark patterns, extreme surveillance, and constant enshittification. and there is a really comfort in that. it feels really nice to not have to worry about a website or app getting worse every time i use it.
i also feel like the people on here tend to behave more thoughtfully (in general) than people on reddit and other for profit social media websites. and it wouldn’t surprise me if that was in part due to the absence of dark patterns making lemmy feel more relaxed and less high stakes. there’s also a bit of a small town feeling on this website that i kind of like too.
can i be the dog
imagine my surprise at learning this comment came from lemmy.ml
i show you mark zuckerberg
how does elon even have time to play video games if he’s the most busiest and hardcore guy of all time?
the days of slamming are over. it is time to start blasting.
