Thanks. Didn’t know that.

Ah, that’s explains it.

Im not familiar with Medium, but I don’t recall the other things I’ve read there being vapid crap.

I didn’t know if this was possible so I looked for some videos.

This guy isn’t very big, but does it fairly easily with his fingertips, and can crush it with a full grip but it takes him some effort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGCawR9vBXE&t=64

Three big guys here with full grips do pretty poorly, then the big guy turns it to pulp in a second. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eICtcsd0TvY&t=288

I think you’ve got your work cut out for you.

Yeah, I use that all the time. I think I use it in a different way though. I have projects with C, C++ and other languages. The C and C++ get compiled and linked together, and so there are some considerations for those files that don’t apply to anything else. So I mean C files and C++ files, but not as if they were the same language.

I guess that’s the joke, and I think we’re all confused because it’s wrong.

I did this in a project and someone later came and changed them all to .h, because that was “the convention” and because “any C is valid C++”. Obviously neither of those things is true and I am constantly befuddled by people’s use of the word convention to mean “something some people do”. It didn’t seem worth the argument though.

This one is specially humorous.

The real problem is how do we centralize all communities. I mean, there’s a Linux community on lemmy.world, but also Linux Web sites, forums, chat rooms, people on Twitter that post about Linux. Sometimes people talk about Linux in emails, or text messages. They’re probably having in person conversations about Linux. This fragmentation is ruining things.

I found a single prompt that works for every level except 8. I can’t get anywhere with level 8 though.

This is an article describing someone impersonating an officer and submitting a fake warrant. It’s incredible that Verizon fell for it, but what does it have to do with SMS?

So, just so I understand, you are using the word meme to mean images that are altered?

I use the first definition. To use the word simply to mean a picture that is shared doesn’t really match the original usage of this word. The act of sharing pictures is a meme. Some pictures that get shared a lot are memes. Mark Hamill writing on a picture is something obviously some people call a meme, but I think those people are using a new, and as far as I can tell, pointless, meaning of the word.

I was going to ask what people mean when they say “meme” now, because they do not seem to be using the word the way that I use it.

Part of federation is the ability to choose whom you interact with. Email is federated and everyone accepts that you can block certain bad faith actors. The notion that federation implies that everyone can use it in whatever way they see fit doesn’t mean that everyone needs to interact with each other. Facebook is a bad faith actor, and it can go play by itself.

I would like if the preferences let you define your own algorithm too. Choosing from some presets would be much better than being stuck with whatever Google wants you to have, but if the interface let people plug in their own algorithms, then as the community started trying things we’d see some real development in algorithms that people genuinely like and that fit people’s specific desires.

What about all of the other technology communities? Forums, Web sites, chat rooms, books, magazines, local clubs? We need a way to clump them all together and subscribe to them all at once.
