This is concerning. Luckily I’m not one of those people who doesn’t know how to write vanilla css

Hot take: Calvin and Hobbes is pretty cringe and stupid and this comic exemplifies why

Yeah, it’s my own little category that I have in my mind, not anything super formalized. But there’s a bunch of immigration content that depicts some kind of hyper idealized life in another country where they’re like, oh, I have this beautiful house. It’s so affordable. Everything is so great. And then you start to ask yourself, well, how do they actually have a visa? What are they doing for their job? How far do they have to travel for their job? How does any of this work? And then you see that either that a spouse is doing actually just a pretty normal job, or they themselves have some unicorn job, and the whole setup is really quite a rare/specific one. I don’t think that they’re outright lying or anything, but they just aren’t telling the whole story much like the magician

This reminds me of a lot of tiny/beautiful house emigrant YouTubers too, except instead of parents its a remote working developer spouse

Same with my vizio!

I think about this kind of thing a lot. Uncommon messages and messages that demand nuance and precision are intrinsically more information dense until they become socially encoded in a compact format, e.g with phrases or allusions to well-known historical or fictional scenarios.

This will also be quite the test for the Lemmy slopwarriors

Every AI-forward dev I know is worse at their job than the ones who don’t like it. They all think they’re doing something smart, but their output sucks and they end up being deadweight that people who actually think and work have to carry. Maybe its not that way everywhere, but it is undeniably the reality at my employer.

If the vileness of AI actually unites the masses, it may all be worth it

At least for right now I would trust one that had the backing of the Graphene devs. Them and Signal are probably the two most rock solid trust sources right now. (Of course this must constantly be reevaluated)

Yeah by “switch to” they probably do mean flash. I could have sworn they had plans to ship Graphene phones but maybe that’s a later phase.

I love graphene, but I hope they’re planning to also roll out some very strong stock software - or else this will make for a very rough first impression on a large audience of normies and hurt graphene’s long run chance of success. The camera, gallery, and app store in particular will not come up to many users’ standards.

Without exaggeration, doing this now (depending on the person) would risk life imprisonment for bioweaponry terrorism, or just getting shot

They are, but historically they’ve been at an unusually low price point for what they offer. I think the latest upcoming Pixel is the first to be priced more “normally”.

A lot more than just the economy, it’s like a law of nature. Even language itself obeys it

I agree. This is how he meant it and how anyone who likes him takes it. It makes him likeable to those people. It’s so childish to pretend it isn’t.

These types of “news” articles I think are actually quite dangerous. It shifts the battleground into weaker territory. If you’re a prosecutor trying to prove a guy needs a life sentence, and you have thirty testimonies of him beating puppies with hammers, why would you pull up to court saying shit like “your honor, the defendant’s cologne is too sharp and clearly in poor taste”? Meanwhile everyone who justifiably hates the puppy-flattener is excited to jump on ANY bandwagon to hate the guy, no matter how flimsy it is. Next thing you know the court is all talking about his cologne. Then the defendant comes in with some actually good explanation for that like “they didn’t have my regular cologne in prison” and now it looks like maybe the prosecution was wrong about him. The flimsy bandwagon falls apart.

I’ve said it before on here:

We MUST resist the urge to criticize bad people for weak reasons when they already provide us with stronger arguments against themselves.

Nah bro, I wish, but nah. The damage is done. Don’t you see? The cult, Trump, all that was the booster rocket. This shit is in stable orbit now. It doesn’t matter what happens to that apparatus anymore.

My thoughts exactly. I will totally celebrate Trump’s death, but anyone who thinks its going to change anything for the better in any substantial way is sadly oblivious. In fact it frustrates me that so many people seem to think everything will be fine once Trump dies. Already the seeds of inaction and complacency are sewn.

The kind of cishet guy who doesn’t at least understand polycules is prob not a steam family user lol

Hmmm I feel both of them are pretty evenly matched. Both have a wealth of great and beautiful games, both have a nice design. I do think the DS is more iconic in the strictest sense. It has the zeitgeist of the gameboy behind it and has been in production longer in some form or another.
