Until an app decides to install in the hidden AppData folder with the confusing sub-folder names, or even the root of the user folder, or god forbid in a folder in the root of the C drive

The 19020s 😲 You from the future?
guy@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why haven't car manufacturers standardized automatic brake lights when a built in accelerometer detects deceleration?3·1 year agoNot a car, but I’ve got a bicycle light that does this. Turns on when it’s dark and also when you brake. So definitely possible
guy@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What bizarre misconceptions do people have about your field?22·1 year agoHaha, most people here do tech it seems. Well, me too.
People seem to think I’d be good at maths and my entire job is like maths. I’m not and I don’t view it that way. There’s a lot of problem solving and engineering, but I find it very creative and expressive
guy@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Python is great, but stuff like this just drives me up the wall1·1 year agoOh that makes sense. I didn’t consider it might be treated as a char

is not unique to JS (sans the requirement for the third equals sign), it’s a common feature of multiple strongly typed languages. imho it’s fine.EDIT: I did some testing:
What it works in:
- JS
- TS
- Java
- C#
- C++
- Kotlin
- Groovy
- Scala
- PowerShell
What produces a number, instead of a string:
- PHP
- SQL
- Perl
- VB
- Lua
What it doesn’t work in:
- R
- C
- Go
- Swift
- Rust
- Python
- Pascal
- Ruby
- Objective C
- Julia
- Fortran
- Ada
- Dart
- D
- Elixir
And MATLAB appears to produce 51, wtf idk
I was under the impression it wasn’t even truly private, nevermind encrypted. Not actually sure how it works though
On Lemmy you can’t exchange email addresses though… else you’d be exposing the addresses publicly and that’s also rife for spam
Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.
Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.
Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.
guy@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•The 4 best Reddit alternatives: Top picks to replace your subreddits - Lemmy is listed first!English171·1 year agoThat’s a bit misleading to say like that. Go to the website, scroll to the footer and click on “Legal”. Your instance, feddit.de, has a legal notice, with a privacy contact person, mentioning you can request data erasure, and detailing where your data goes. Mine, lemmy.world, has a number of in depth legal documents attached there.
However, yes, other instances they are federated with might not take it as seriously though, and if all your data is going there too, then that’s a hole in your data privacy.
== is a heathen with no rightful place except equality to null. All praise ===
Guess that settles the debate, we got to pronounce it “sequel” then to optimally match syllables
In the sentence “you have a problem”, “have” is the main verb. When reduced to the clitic “'ve”, it becomes a weak form and is only expected to be used as an auxiliary verb. These types of verbs must be followed by the main verb. “a” is not a verb. Thus, we insert “got”.
If we do not insert “got”, the stress in the sentence moves and it sounds overly affected.
I’m not too sure, but I think “be” (“is”, “are”) is the only verb that can be contracted and still remain a main verb. I’m not too sure why.
guy@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What soups are cool enough to eat on a first date? What are bad dates soups?16·2 years agoNo soup. Too dangerous to eat with a long beard, for a first date. Risk making a fool of myself
guy@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who can control their dreams - what is it like?14·2 years agoThe more control I have, the more likely I am to wake up, which is pretty annoying. Although, on the flip side, waking up through choice to avoid bad dreams is how I originally developed the skill of lucid dreaming. Noticing the signs of waking up and choosing to stay asleep is kind of a weird thing to do too, but it can lead to sleep paralysis.
However in any case, the level of control I have varies. Often, I am able to fly from danger or decide something didn’t happen and try again. More rarely I know there are no consequences to any of my actions and can completely control space, time and narrative. It’s odd knowing it’s a dream, but it still feels real. Though, still with a dream brain memory and dream logic, I’m not necessarily thinking as sensibly as I would do when awake.
Wouldn’t it be obvious that it’s not a dog though. You don’t need to see the image to know it’s not gonna be a dog, given the setup
And certainly now that I’ve fully left Reddit, I’m no longer spreading the word of Lemmy there
Jerboa has the column separators. Looks like it also has alternately shaded rows.
And I’m sure there are many cases where an attempted EEE failed, but that doesn’t get documented in the history, because you only notice it when it is effective.
Meta isn’t even entering the Lemmy space yet, they’re entering the Mastodon space. They can hardly extend and extinguish Lemmy when they are just barely feature compatible to begin with. Yes it’s all Fediverse, but it’s pretty different.
The audience, use cases and purposes are different between Lemmy and Threads. At least for now. Consider defederating if that changes
I’ve seen Electron based apps do this sometimes. GitHub Desktop, for instance
