Any pronouns. 33.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to explore adding Bitcoin to the company's treasury, with less than 1% voting in favor of the measure

  • Right, why invest in a rug pull coin when I can invest in an ETF of all the rug pull coins!

  • In what way is Bitcoin not fundamentally a scam? There are multiple interpretations of "Bitcoin is a scam" you can take, and honestly with most of them I think it's been true the whole time.

    Edit: I think some folks are parsing my sentence incorrectly, and I can't blame them. I didn't do a great job communicating. When I said "in what way is it not a scam" I didn't mean to make it sound like an exclamation like "how can you not think it's a scam!?", I am saying, "which specific way of people referring to it as a scam do you believe is wrong?"

    If all meat was banned except for insects, would you eat insects?

  • How do you even answer this? Yes, in the absolutely insane authoritarian hell scape where the consumption of all meat has been made illegal and for real for real illegal, not just like turn a blind eye to it, yes, sure, I'd try bugs. But that's such a fucking insane timeline I don't think it's worth discussing.

  • Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse

    Jump

  • But nobody else does, and I need it more on code I am consuming than producing. In fact, many functions rely on being able to send various types for different behavior. Dynamic programming is crazy to me. It's like guessing. I don't know what type your code is accepting and I have to guess based on the name of read your code directly.

  • You don't think the $500 million marketing budget Sun put towards Java has anything to do with its success? It was more than just luck.

  • For me it's the tooling surrounding it that makes it nice.

  • Yep, thanks to the AdoptOpenJDK project which really helped make OpenJDK builds available for all platforms. (It is now called Eclipse Temurin and Adoptium.)

  • Since I've started using Lemmy,

    1. My primary desktop OS has become Linux
    2. I have began identifying as genderfluid

    Lemmy pipeline real?

    I mean, honestly it's been something I've been considering for ages (Linux). It's just that I needed a new OC to play games (old CPU is from 2009 lol). And Windows 11 is ass and Proton works so well for games on Linux now. I'm very happy.

    Also genderfluid, happy pride heh, but that's been a good thing too.

  • What video and how was it wrong?

  • Scripting languages are real. Generally people consider dynamic languages scripting languages but it's not that simple.

  • I would say that once the purge ends you cannot be legally married to multiple people. Meanwhile if you murder someone they're just dead. If you kidnap someone you'd have to let them go when it ends.

    Stealing is an interesting gray area. Is possessing a stolen object the crime, or is the stealing the crime? Or possibly both? If possessing a stolen object is illegal then you'd have to return them when it ends.

  • You said "shows all files that were recently downloaded from any app to the file system". I pointed out that the meme you were replying to specifically said save not download and that the Files app definitely does not do that.

  • Fediverse Social Media Guide

    Jump

  • No.

  • Giving up control bit by bit

    Jump

  • Ok I see the confusion, on your end. You assume this file is being saved to the global FS and this app has its own resources. So to save it globally you have to share it to the files app. i get that's confusing to normies. But it took me 20 seconds to figure it out. I'm guessing chatgpt didn't give the answer.

    I'm sorry, did you or did you not say the files app just shows everything? Does the meme imply that finding files on Android is difficult? Did you not just explain something extremely counterintuitive that's contradictory to your own first post? 🙄
