  • Can you draw what she was holding?

    Jump

  • I was a daily reader of CAD at the time and I thought the reaction was disproportionate, but none of my partners have ever had a miscarriage during the time I was with them, as far as I know. (I cannot have a miscarriage myself.) There were some reactions that just seemed "mean", but some people that had experienced a miscarriage (or a partner's miscarriage) felt attacked/wronged by the comic for various reasons. I personally thought it was creative, tho it was not the tone I was expecting.

    I think we mostly still don't really know what makes things "go viral", so I'm really not sure why it did, though I think most of the "meme-abilty" has to do with how "recognizable" the minimalist takes make it. Ex: :.|:;

  • How to become a competent coder?

    Jump

  • You want code that works as intended instead of through trial and error? TDD (Test-Driven Development).

    You don't have to follow a specific process, but you do need to internalize that way of thinking about development, so you can use it as a tool. Tests are a good way (but not the only way) to set your intent, focus your writing, and acknowledge your progress.

    If you find tests useful, you might also proceed to mutation testing (jester / pester / mu check) or property testing (quickcheck / hypothesis / fastcheck). Or, even graduate to the real TDD (Type-Driven Development) which is best covered by the "TDD with Idris" book.

  • If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?

    Jump

  • Aye, too many to name.

  • What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?

  • Wikipedia is as accurate as printed encyclopedias, in at least one study.

    The Wikimedia Foundation only has one CEO, but many members, and Wikipedia has tens of thousands of contributiors that are not foundation members.

  • I saw that video on Nebula and it was the first I'd heard of this dude, but I still found the video fascinating.

  • Frustrated YouTube viewers seek explanation for hour-long unskippable ads (Update: Statement)

    Jump

  • Yeah, they even finally rebranded the YT channel last year so it is now Dropout instead of CollegeHumor. They are doing some interesting stuff currently (Gamechanger is almost always good), and all their old sketches and programs are there too.

  • Frustrated YouTube viewers seek explanation for hour-long unskippable ads (Update: Statement)

    Jump

  • I ended up getting a lifetime subscription, and it's definitely worth it, but it's not a replacement for YT entirely.

    Dropout.tv has good comedy videos which is largely lacking from Nebula, but I find it buffers more often for me, which makes it uniquely bad among all the streaming services I've used.

    But, I watch plenty of fan compilations / animatics for stuff on YT from my recommendations, and I haven't found them anywhere else either because they don't exist or because they don't get recommended to me. It seems difficult for that kind of stuff to exist without free, easy uploads AND free, easy viewing.

    Finally there are some people that primarily do Twitch that I subscribe to on YT. I've tried watching them on Twitch, and I prefer the content after their YT editor has worked their magic.

  • Musk makes Holocaust jokes after Netanyahu defends him as ‘great friend of Israel’

    Jump

  • Himmler was a German Nazi leader and the chief architect of the Holocaust

    -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Himmler

    His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler!

    -- Elmu

    I think it's probably fair to call punning on the name "Himmler" to be a "Holocaust joke", but I can also understand if someone doesn't think it is.

  • How do you seriously fight fascism and don't say just vote?

    Jump
    1. Don't do fascism yourself. (This is harder than you think.)
    2. If it is within your power, prevent others from doing fascism.
    3. Help others that have had fascism done to them.
    4. Grow your power, in order to do #2 more often.

    Avoid creating or growing an organization that has a strong hierarchical structure, as they are easier for fascists to convert/infiltrate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agzNANfNlTs Democratic structure can be better, but beware giving any power to the intolerant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance#Paradox_of_freedom_and_paradox_of_democracy

    If you are comfortable, #4 might involve physical, martial, melee, firearm, etc. training. It is not unlikely that the current fascists in power use violence to grow/retain power, and that might require violence as part of the fight. That said, I feel there's plenty of non-violent ways to fight fascism, for now.

  • GOP Senator blames Americans for most of their health problems

    Jump

  • There is still a lot of disagreement about what a good diet looks like. The government propaganda on behalf of the agri-industrial complex that was the food pyramid is still around out there, for one.

    It also takes time many people don't seem to have to eat well. Ready-to-eat food is near universally bad for you, tho it is at least labeled as such if you read nutrition labels or visit the nutritional information page of your favorite chain.

    I'm all for better information resources with the best information we do have about diet and any other health maintenance, to reduce "self-inflicted" health conditions. But, I'm against reducing funding for treatment of people's current health conditions, whatever the cause.

  • How would you feel about the addition of an anonymous posting feature on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • How would blocking / muting work? I imagine anonymous posts to be, on average, worse that even burner-account posts.

  • OpenAI announces plan to transform into a for-profit company

    Jump

  • I thought they had successfully converted around the time they got the infusion of funds from MS. I thought they were started as a not-for-profit, but were already shady-as-shit when they stopped publishing stuff under open licenses.

  • What car do you drive and why?

    Jump

  • I got a 2019b Volt, but I haven't needed to put gas in it since March.

    I hope it lasts another 10 years. (It replaced a 2004 (or 3?) Saturn Ion that I bought new and drove even after insurance totaled it, and the transmission lasted less than a year after I sold the Saturn.)

  • We're being short-sighted

    Jump

  • I think it affects amd64 / x64 because they originally used a 32-bit time_t for compatibility with x86 to make multiarch easier.

    I don't believe it affects arm64.
