  • We have launched a PieFed instance!

    Jump

  • So lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then? I'm not really clear on how communicating freely between them works. I understand that's how the Fediverse supposedly works, but I have a Mastodon account and I haven't sorted out any way to post on/read lemmy content with it, so I'm not sure what the integration actually means in practical application? Maybe someone could help me understand.

  • Well then, rage against the machine for the next 30 years and see if they kill it in favor of a nice, strict language that everybody loves. Maybe you could suggest one here for consideration.

  • It's not that hard to understand what it is doing and why the decision was made to make it do that. JavaScript has a particular purpose and it's mission is not consistency.

    It's not like TypeScript doesn't exist if you just get lightheaded at the idea of learning JavaScript's quirks and mastering using it despite them.

  • Heads up, y'all, don't buy a D.R. Horton house if you can possibly avoid it, the more you know✨️

    Not for nothing, but every home "builder" in America subs out to (multiple) General Contractors who sub out to their contractors work that gets inspected by the local municipality in stages. When people warn against particular builders, I always feel obliged to temper this by saying "they're all actually pretty equally shit." Residential building is complicated field work done pretty much by randos with varying levels of addictions, it's not like a factory building cars. There's only so much that can be expected.

    Instead of avoiding particular builders, I would recommend buying a house that's around 10 years old or so and which has been thoroughly inspected by someone who has been inspecting for more than 10 years (and who has been recommended to you by someone you know if possible). It will have had time to do any bad shit it's gonna do (generally speaking). New houses are always a roll of the dice to some extent.

  • 30M After divorce I got literally zero support from anyone, why?

    Jump

  • Same here man, it was many years ago. My ex was crazy - I don't mean the kind of crazy like "everybody has a crazy ex crazy," I mean literally crazy. I never knew whether I was coming home to someone weeping uncontrollably with her face buried in the couch - or bleary eyed with rage, screaming - pulling knives on me in the kitchen and threatening to kill me in my sleep. I am not exaggerating.

    Five years of this shit getting increasingly worse before I finally said "this ain't living" and pulled the plug. She tried desperately to get me to change my mind, but I was done. Then she turned on me in earnest, lying to everyone I knew and telling them all sorts of crazy shit. They should have known better - these people grew up with me, they knew I was a good guy.

    But here's the thing (and it still bugs me to this day) - when you're the one doing the divorcing, you're the one who gets blamed, right or wrong. There's this sort of unspoken rule that the partner that wants to keep the marriage around must be the one that's blameless. Nevermind if they're abusive, manipulative, gaslighting pieces of shit who fuck around on you - they only want to make the marriage work!

    But there's a silver lining. People always get the truth eventually. She won't be able to hide her true nature forever, and eventually people will come around. When they do, they will come to you and they will apologize. In the meantime, get your counseling, know it isn't you, be good to yourself, and find someone who will treat you like you deserve to be treated.

    I am married to my second wife now for over 15 years. She is, was and always will be: NORMAL. Thank goodness. Sometimes you can wonder if it was maybe somehow partly your fault. A good woman will disabuse you of that notion.

  • Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?

    Jump

  • I set my avatar, but I use old.lemmy.world and can't see it anyway.

  • How long do I need to exercise for before I start seeing a difference?

    Jump

  • I wish you the best of luck, but be aware, many vegetarian/vegan "solutions" have more saturated fat (and other bad shit) than their animal counterparts. Vegan isn't necessarily the answer. The answer is: whole foods, minimal processing, mostly vegetarian.

  • How long do I need to exercise for before I start seeing a difference?

  • So I have always been one to count calories and attempt to keep my weight in check, I always found it to be hard work and while I maintained a pretty healthy weight, I never really lost like I wanted to. I cut out sugar long ago, and I try and only eat whole grain products and be cognizant of my carb intake. It just wasn't quite enough.

    Then I got a physical and saw I had high cholesterol. High enough that it needed to be addressed. I had to go on a diet and the only restriction (aside from stuff I was already doing as I described above) was: keep your intake of saturated fat no more than 13 grams per day.

    So I use an app to keep a diary of everything I eat and I make my own food mostly and I have all the things I eat regularly in the app and I have been doing this for years, so I am lucky in that regard. If you can't/won't do this or just aren't bent that way, this will be much harder. But with my app and my eating habits, I have very little problems knowing exactly what I am ingesting - down to the gram. I had to re-do almost all of my regular recipes to create versions that were lower in saturated fat and it was a process.

    But holy shit, I can't keep weight on. I eat and eat and eat as much as I want (I make this sound easy, it's not - every goddamn thing in the world is loaded with saturated fat, particularly animal products and you might as well just say goodbye to beef my friend). But between my regular (simple and not hardcore at all) exercise and this diet, my body changed dramatically within 3 months.

    Also, my cholesterol is perfect now. Score.

    A family of products that no one will be able to buy, sounds great Sam! 👍

  • What is really meant by "programming" when people say they like to use linux for it?

    Jump

  • So, I make things for myself to replace commercial software that either doesn't exist or that is becoming (or will become) enshittified like all commercial software.

    I like to cook, for instance. It's a hobby of mine. Cooking, BBQ, grilling, baking, all of it. So of course, I have recipes and they are important to me. I could spend all my time painstakingly entering all my recipes into recipes dot com or whatever, right? But of course, as soon as I do that, their barely usable app that does almost everything I want (and a hundred things I don't give a shit about) gets updated in the third update of the week (rolleyes) and they have completely changed the UI and on top of that, they removed a feature that I used daily.

    OR - I could just make my own fucking app. Which I did. It's awesome, it does everything I need and nothing I don't. It also doesn't update every thirty seconds and become less and less usable or require me to completely overhaul my workflow because the programming staff and middle management need to justify their existences.

    I also recently made a wishlist extension for Firefox, because Amazon removed the ability to add non-Amazon items to their wishlist. I have probably a dozen other ideas I'm working on at any given time. None of this is to make money, but just to make my life more convenient and unplug myself from the wider (bullshit) Internet as much as possible.
