  • Yeah, that happens a lot. The smart ones just take the product out of the packaging and leave it on the shelf somewhere. I find the things all the time, so I'm definately missing a lot. That's not really what I'm talking about though.

    I'm talking about the ones that security chases out of the store, or that try to scam us. They aren't smart about it. Sure, there's plenty of innocent looking scammers and really offputting normal customers, but they aren't all that common from what I've found. I treat everyone the same regardless anyway just in case I'm wrong, but still.

    I suppose what I'm finding aren't criminals but rather attempted criminals. I'm guessing they just grew up watching tv and when they got drunk or high enough to think stealing was a good idea, they just copied the aesthetics. Doesn't make having to deal with scammers that smell like they've never used a shower before and smoke a pack of cigaretts a day any better.

  • Your refusal doesn't change reality. Tupperware isa more common word that ehatever your supposed to call reusable containers.

  • To be honest, all of the fediverse apps are too difficult to self-host. And yeah, the hardware requirements were what I was referring to. I should have been clearer, sorry.

  • Sure, but the peertube on-boarding sucks. Its miles away from Lemmy or Mastodon. Its also way harder to self-host

  • I had a lot of anger issues as a kid. I'm not sure how applicable my situation is, but somewhere around my mid-teens I'd fallen into an intense apathetic state where I was mostly incapable of feeling anything. Eventually, I was diagnosed with Autism and my life improved dramatically. Suddenly, if I was feeling overwhelmed or stressed, I could understand why and just leave whatever situation was causing the disruption. After that, I got really into books, and it let me explore my feelings and thoughts without interacting with the outside world, which so often caused stress and anger.

  • No, I meant sapient. Sentient just means "reacts to outside stimuli." Plants are sentient. Its a really useless word.

  • Why are people acting like this is some big problem that Manjaro caused. Everything they warn about is just stuff caused by upstream stuff. X11 causing issues for some users cause it's outdated, wayland fixing a bug involving the package manager meaning you have to run a special command to fix it, and a backup utility of some kind being borked upstream. None of that is Manjaro's fault.

  • Sure, if they never grew up. But they do, so I won't.

  • I'd rather not eat anything sapient. Crabs, chicken, and beef? Fine, but I'm not eating anything smarter than a 5-year-old human. No octopi or corvids for me.

  • I pay for proton mail, but selfhost my own meta-search engine. Its not as pure as as one that crawls the web on its own, but the ones that do aren't developed enough for everyday use in my opinion.

  • Feels the same whenever a project is written in python, but I uninstall it too.

  • There is a function that does what you are asking for.

    .unarap_or()

    It either unwraps the value or uses a provided default. Personally, i think unwrap() should be renamed unwrap_or_panic() to follow existing conventions and prevent confusion for non-rust programmers.

  • Honesty good for them. Companies that ban mature content are the worst.

  • Id say mid 20s to 30s. At least, thats the age people seem happiest around me.

  • Adorable

  • Is that the only one with four letters? How cruel. Lol.

  • Votes have always been public though? Nothing about the fediverse is private or secure. It's that way by design. This just makes some features easier to access.

  • Eh, I just read a lot of grimdark and grimderp stories. The kind where nothing good ever happens and the bad guys always get away with everything just because it would make the main character's life worse. I'm a cashier, not law enforcement, so doesn't matter if my first instinct is skewed if I have other people to make decisions for me.

  • Gotta admit, I have no idea how that one happened.
