new is a different concept from first api stable release. it’s been in development since 2002. 0.21 was the most recent release, and the software has been pretty much usable since 2010 at least. but this 1.0 release is a big deal because it basically means any features you currently know and like can be expected to be there for forever. it’s more of a promise than a time-based release measure

gotacha. i’ve only ever heard them called ternaries. maybe i’m old. maybe i’m too young. definitely one of the two

been programming since 2008. the fuck is an elvis operator?

i took a month long hiatus and am probably gonna continue that pattern. the threadiverse has gone completely insane the last couple months and i worry about the people for whom this is their sole gateway into the fediverse, and what they think the consensus on what reality is. i’m mostly on mastodon at this point and have been just… talking to my neighbors more

I think the issue is that this marketing consultant didn’t build anything. They just prompted an LLM to generate output

Microsoft is still who vetted and hired the contractor and who selected the location.

And yeah. Past CEOs of Microsoft have continued to be shitty. They’re who’s responsible for what’s going on. I just wanted to talk about the ways white knight philanthropy doesn’t help, it just perpetuates colonialism, and Bill Gates+Microsoft have always been in lock step in this regard.

The point is the true villain here is colonialism

So construction waste is a subcategory of industrial waste. Typical industrial waste includes toxic materials like excess cement, fiberglass, bits of plastic from wires and cables. But once the data center is in place, most likely the waste will be e-waste in nature. Think heavy metals, copper, and yet more plastic. And the thing is… This is why they’re putting this data center here. Disposing of this toxic waste will be cheaper because it’s less regulated. The long term cost of high tech industries like this to neo-colonialized communities like this is the communities themselves. It doesn’t matter to Microsoft they’re making the water undrinkable. They don’t have to live there.

And realize, too. Bill Gates’ philanthropic missions aren’t accidents. He may not run the show at Microsoft anymore but he still benefits greatly from their business. His philanthropic efforts aren’t about making the lives of people who are exploited better. They’re about maintaining that cheap form of labor just a little bit longer. And that may not be Bill Gates’ actual intention, but the fact of the matter is he’s a billionaire. He could make much larger changes in the world by not being a billionaire. He has power and influence to do things the rest of us can’t, but instead of treating the illness he treats the symptoms. His actions sustain the system he benefits from

Correction: yes it will. Source: that’s how I installed it

No.

I wonder if its because Beehaw is staying on 18.x while awaiting Sublinks

Lionir is talking about API implementations for everything to go off a single CSS file or a single icon pack. Not about the implementation of your personal desired aesthetic (I refuse to use the term rice, it has origins in racist car and motorcycle culture)

The ad company blocking an ad blocker is totally about security

Hey good news. Turns out you can use bing and not get back Reddit results

They don’t care about traffic. They care about the existing barrel of data for the data models

100%. I wanted to summarize things as succinctly as possible but its basically impossible to deny this person is a complete bastard

Yeah. Like… I can’t think hyprland offers enough to make it worth promoting. Its like… Yeah Drake put out some tracks than when they show up in my feed I like until I realize its that massive piece of shit. You can’t really have death of the author when the author gains more audience through hype of their output. I’d recommend people interested in hyprland look at river, sway, or dwl instead

The lead dev thought it was no big deal that the moderators of his official discord server were going out of their way to harass trans people. Then when someone said “hey this isn’t okay” he was like “why am I to blame I didn’t do it”

I’m opinionated, too, and I’m of the opinion that GNOME’s opinions get in the way of me getting work done lol

Linux Mint is one of the lowest effort (from a user perspective) options out there

I’d say then YaST is your friend but SUSE has overwhelming issues by not labeling settings as being common tweaks or advances options. Well… Maybe it’s better these days. I don’t think about SUSE that often. It just always stays on my horizon as being pretty much good enough for anything I’m interested in doing without it being perfect
