Isn’t the content blocked because imgur refused to implement ID-based age verification so as a result they just blocked users in the UK? Or am I missing something else here

nixpkgs is still kicking off their build pipeline, they’ll be here in 4 days

Now that I think about it, every single one of your replies is generalizing Americans as a whole. Do you really think everyone thinks like that? Or are your interactions just limited to internet trolls, politicians, and media outlets? I’m saying this because I spent 4 years in public (government funded) high school learning about all of the atrocities we committed both internally and across the world, and I’m sure that barely scratched the surface. Most of the people I know don’t idolize any historical figures in the US.

Let me put it this way. You’re on lemmy.ca so I’m going to assume you’re Canadian. If I started judging all Canadians based on what Alberta does, how would that make you feel? And what about the Inuit people? Canada and its leaders aren’t exactly perfect either. Do you want me to start judging all Canadians based on something Trudeau (or any other leader for that matter) did?

Either way, don’t bother responding to this because I’m starting to think you’re responding in bad faith and I don’t feel like wasting energy on this anymore. Have a good day o/

Just because someone is underpaid doesn’t mean they have nothing to lose. That’s exactly why we’re in the situation we are right now. People that are buying the propaganda obviously won’t do anything about it, and even among people that don’t, many aren’t in the position where they’ll be alright if they get wrongly deported, detained, injured, or even just sent to court. Good lawyers aren’t exactly cheap and neither are medical bills.

Yes, the government here sucks and I don’t want to be caught dead defending them (especially considering they would never defend me), but creating a divide between regular people is also exactly what they want because it helps them promote their naive nationalism. Attacking regular people isn’t exactly a great way to get others to agree with your ideas. All it does is convey a sense of elitism and hostility.

In my experience it’s more of a “everyone is too overworked and underpaid to have time to fact check all of the political lies being thrown around.” And the people that aren’t overworked are either the ones trying to lead protests and voting movements, or the ones upholding the status quo because it benefits them. Definitely not as simple as “Americans hate having basic protections”

They forgot “CM” so this doesn’t work for any number that ends in 900s

If it’s only for them then they shouldn’t mind getting their Wayland protocol veto privilege taken away 🤷

The Lemmy backend is also written in rust

The irony of this meme being posted from a platform written in rust is pretty great ngl

The Acela (faster one) is also several times a day now, but it’s more like every 2-3 hours instead of 1

Boston to NY is more like hourly - Amtrak has a lot of trains going on the line from Boston to/from DC (DC also has a very good transit system for the US at least from what I’ve heard).

The problem with those trains is that they’re expensive and slower - the Amtrak northeast regional costs $75-300 (depending on the date and time, as Amtrak is a company and charges more around holidays and during peak travel hours 🙃) each way from NY to Boston and takes ~4-4.5 hours. Driving can take 3.5-4 if you plan around rush hours in both cities.

Please don’t throw one of the only cities in the country with a semi-functional public transit system into the sun :(

Reminder: Most devs actually care about the things they make. This is a management/timeline problem, not a developer one.

The ghost doesn’t get a gravestone

Did some digging and I think it’s these projects:

Is it bad that I already knew what this would print the moment I read the meme?

Probably performance - the Java server takes up a lot of memory and CPU for what it does. The base implementation first started in 2011, so it wasn’t exactly designed to be multithreaded or parallelized because most games were still largely single-threaded at the time. Rewriting it from scratch in a different language probably helps with that

… and are keeping the hate to the appropriate boards (X, I believe it’s called nowadays). Should we contract his work and apply it where applicable?

There is no “appropriate board” for hate speech, whether it’s antisemitism, transphobia, or anything else. If you wouldn’t want someone to be a nazi in your office, why would you pay them if you know they’re a nazi somewhere else? Is it fine as long as it’s someone else’s problem?

On another level, if you had to pay a developer, and you have reason to think they might donate the money you give them to an antisemitic cause, or directly use it to fund their own antisemitism, would you still want to give them that money? Or maybe look elsewhere, even if it means getting something slightly worse?

Reaching a middle ground on an Internet discussion? No, it can’t be. There must be something wrong here. I need to keep arguing about minor things like daily routines. Why else would I be here?

/s if it wasn’t obvious. This thread makes me happy, have a good day :)

Obviously, it’s a silly semantic debate, and someone could equally judge me for wanting my coffee beans roasted and ground “why not eat the berries fresh if you say you love coffee‽”.

My point is that it would be silly to judge someone for this, just like it’s silly to judge someone for putting creamer in coffee.

Edit: also, what about drinks like mochas, cappuccinos, macchiatos, etc. which also have other ingredients mixed in? Generally it’s still fine to call those forms of coffee, no?

Random side note: I’ve had chocolate-dipped espresso beans before and they’re actually a pretty good snack. You just can’t eat too many of them because of the caffeine content.
