Programmer Humor@programming.dev•I still haven't figured out how to do this

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Playback speed past X2 is now a YouTube paid featureEnglish
53·9 days agoLol nope, out of principle I will never pay for this even if I didn’t already hate Google.
It feels so condescending to the user, so unconcerned with their agency that I could never bring myself to support this choice with even a tiny amount of money.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•The Vibe Coding Hero's Journey
4·20 days agoI would prefer to title it “Gravity’s Rainbow Of Vibe Coding” as this is hardly a cycle, more like a denial committed with force that will eventually give out and cause regression into a shattering of identity.
Edit it is so perfectly fitting for the Linux community to respond with mostly criticisms and negations to these flowcharts I shared without a single negative commenter actually suggesting a different similar helpful resource for newbies to Linux who feel overwhelmed or adding something productive and helpful to the conversation.
Do better y’all.
You can’t condescend these resources and pretend with a handwave like there are better ones out there, you gotta prove it. If you are going to pick apart these charts then you gotta make a new chart or link me to a better one, I don’t care about your condescending minor criticisms of the specifics of the flowcharts, that is irrelevant input unless you are going to edit a flowchart and make a new one or add something else productive.
I feel like I am inside a meme making fun of Linux users right now lol.

World News@lemmy.ml•‘It’s hateful racism’: Islamophobia spikes since Bondi attack
8·1 month ago“There are Islamophobes out there that are waiting for the right moment, and what we call permission to hate, and after Bondi and things like that, where terrorists are perpetrators, are Muslim, then that gives them permission.”
Speaking from one glass house to another, it is very darkly ironic when majority Christian demographics start to get Xenophobic because they claim another organized religion is inherently violent.
Like… have they checked the scoreboard recently? Christians should be the most adamant about claiming things are more complex than “Religion Make People Violent” because if it was that simple than Christians are basically screaming at us to lock them up before they start another crusade when they scream at us about how Islam is somehow inherently violent or dangerous…
…Of course the idea of judging majority Christian demographics wholistically (which includes people who don’t really consider themselves Christian but grew up immersed in a Christian societal context) is a really bad one right? That would be cruel and missrepresent the massive diversity and breadth of people who follow and are impacted by Christianity right? So…
If I were conservative I think this site would drive me crazy.

World News@lemmy.ml•UN Warns of “Unprecedented” Hunger in Sudan as Half of Children Under 5 Starve
5·1 month agoAid groups have estimated that over 100,000 people fled el-Fasher as a result of the siege, or over a third of the former population of 260,000. Experts at the Yale University Humanitarian Research Lab have said that satellite imagery shows the city was turned into a “slaughterhouse,” and British lawmakers said this month that they’ve been told that a “low estimate” of 60,000 people were killed over the course of just a few weeks during and following the takeover.
The atrocities have renewed calls in recent weeks from lawmakers to cut off the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which supplies the RSF with weapons, from the international arms trade.
You ever think about the fact that if we put our minds together and made funny clips of excited baby goats set to actually good classic rock go viral as a meme we could essentially disappear Kid Rock from search engines?
We could call the meme Kid Rock 2 and whenever anyone brings up Kid Rock 1 just mercilessly shit on it and say Kid Rock 2 is far better and Kid Rock 1 isn’t worth watching.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Samsung smart fridges have started displaying adsEnglish
7·2 months agoI actually think a multipurpose digital screen could be quite useful and fun on a refrigerator, not needed or necessary at all but I think in a less enshittified timeline an open source version of this, possibly even an e-ink screen, could actually be nice. It would make far more sense as a whiteboard type object that you attach to your refrigerator though and obviously this entire concept is predatory on so many levels it is mindboggling… but the idea of having a sort of communal digital screen on a refrigerator isn’t a bad idea itself I don’t think as hard as it is to imagine a reality where an appliance like this was designed in good faith.

World News@lemmy.ml•U.S. Helicopters Used to Kill Civilians in Philippines, Locals Say
11·2 months agoThese violations could trigger provisions in U.S. law that should block military assistance to individual units of the Philippine military who can be credibly accused of committing gross violations of human rights.
The “Leahy law,” a term for two such provisions that came into focus during Israel’s war [edit genocide not war] in Gaza, ensures that no foreign military unit guilty of human rights violations receives U.S. assistance until it has taken prescribed remediation efforts. Its namesake, former U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, was banned from the Philippines in 2019 after supporting a critic of Duterte.
“A major goal of the Leahy law is accountability,” said John Ramming Chappell, the advocacy and legal advisor at the U.S. program of the Center for Civilians in Conflict. “This is a cornerstone law when it comes to human rights and security assistance in the United States.” Chappell said that, while the white phosphorus incident would not fall under the auspices of the Leahy law, it “raises questions about how security forces in question are identifying civilians and determining civilian status,” a duty of allied militaries under international humanitarian law.
The Leahy law has had little effect in stemming human rights abuses within the Philippine military, despite a history of U.S. government concerns with its behavior. Charles Blaha, who served as director of the State Department’s Office of Security and Human Rights from 2016 to 2023, said his department focused on the Philippine police, who killed thousands in Duterte’s deadly drug war, and did not recall the law being applied to military units involved in the counterinsurgency

“Human rights can get outweighed by other factors,” Blaha said…

World News@lemmy.ml•Can anyone end the Ukraine war if Kiev refuses every compromise?
15·2 months agoUkraine gaining approximate artillery parity, depletion of Russian armor and Ukrainian deep strike efforts becomingly increasingly devastating to Russian logistics as Russian air defenses/radar are obliterated leaving gaping holes into fragile parts of Russia’s war machine in the wake of their destruction (Russia is failing to replace destroyed radar, they don’t have the production nor maintenence capability too). The point I identify was somewhere in late summer when it became clear the Russian summer offensive was failing to do anything but take tiny amounts of territory in exchange for shocking losses.
Further Russia is transitioning to indiscriminate flying bomb attacks on civilians which is itself a blatant sign Russia feels it looks too weak on the actual battlefield to project strength and inevitability.

510·2 months agoOk those people aren’t me, I don’t speak for their opinion on it. I am saying the Russian military is unsustainably fighting at this point and the blowback from not having enough armor nor air defense will progressively create more and more decisive opportunities for Ukraine to counterattack, which Ukraine has and will continue to do.

but what happens if we change on it afterwards…
