with the most recent call last, but the actual exception at the top

programmerhumor lemmy continuing the fine r/programmerhumor tradition of memes that are only tangentially related to technology and have dick all to do with programming posted by non programmers who want to hang out with the hackermen

That’s precisely my point. Tell Lemmy you’re a leftist but not vegan? They’ll call you a murderer. Tell them you’re a leftist but not an anarcho-communist? Yeah I’ll bet you love capitalism and the human suffering it causes, you Chauvinist pig! Tell them you’re a liberal? You’re practically a Nazi collaborator! (All things I have actually heard Lemmings say.) But tell them you’re a conservative and they leave you alone.

No matter what I do, I will never be leftist enough for people to be satisfied. The further left I let myself get pushed, the more vitriol I get for not being even lefter. Apparently suggesting people vote for Kamala Harris to prevent a Trump victory makes me a genocide enabler. On top of that, if I make even one step backward, much like Mozilla deciding they don’t have the resources to moderate an entire Mastodon instance on top of everything else they do, I might as well have joined the enemy. But if I stop agreeing with them at all, suddenly I’m not worth harassing. It’s enough to push a boy right, it really is.

I want to be a good person. I do. But if my choices are don’t do that or be seen in public agreeing with leftists, especially if leftists are in earshot… it’s a tougher call than I’d hoped.

But don’t you understand? Any language or policy the right adopts, we must abandon, even if, on its face (if not in the right wing implementation of it), it’s something we agree with. Otherwise how will we identify and shun right wingers? They could be hiding anywhere, you know.

maybe they’ll take inspiration from their avatar and next learn a programming language that’s actually good

Perhaps I should rephrase. They attack Mozilla (and users of Firefox) infinitely more than Google (and users of various Google products). I heard it said after Mozilla introduced their opt-out privacy-respecting ad tracking that users should “move to a more privacy-friendly browser like Google Chrome”.

This is true of Lemmy’s political stance in general. Tell them you’re a leftist but not vegan? They’ll call you a murderer. Tell them you’re a leftist but not an anarcho-communist? Yeah I’ll bet you love capitalism and the human suffering it causes, you Chauvinist pig! Tell them you’re a liberal? You’re practically a Nazi collaborator! (All things I have actually heard Lemmings say.) But tell them you’re a conservative and they leave you alone.

The only thing you need to know about how Lemmings think about politics is that they bash Mozilla more than Google.

you should learn Rust. the type system is so comprehensive that half the time you can guess what a function does (or at the very least what you’re supposed to pass to it) without a single line of human written documentation.

I see Programmer humor lemmy is continuing the fine r/programmerhumor tradition of non programmers posting vaguely technology related memes that have dick all to do with programming

Where are the fans on this thing? Please do not tell me you intend to passively cool a chip you intend to run Cyberpunk 2077 on?

Did we learn nothing from Intel era Apple? Sure, AMD chips run moderately cooler than Intel ones under the same workload, but still…

I like the idea of a plug-and-play emulation station in a retro-styled case, but that case design is copyright infringement territory. Emulation devices are on shaky enough legal ground as it is, we do not need to tempt fate

That is actually the best way of putting it.

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

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

like the S in IoT which stands for security.

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.”

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

Cool, what’s it do that Aseprite doesn’t?

EDIT: Okay, using an entire image as a texture which an image references, allowing you to do pseudo-3D texturing on a 2D pixel sprite is pretty sick, I gotta admit

awful.systems is up there?

have to say i’m surprised. and a little disgusted.
