nixpkgs is still kicking off their build pipeline, they’ll be here in 4 days

Now that I think about it, every single one of your replies is generalizing Americans as a whole. Do you really think everyone thinks like that? Or are your interactions just limited to internet trolls, politicians, and media outlets? I’m saying this because I spent 4 years in public (government funded) high school learning about all of the atrocities we committed both internally and across the world, and I’m sure that barely scratched the surface. Most of the people I know don’t idolize any historical figures in the US.

Let me put it this way. You’re on lemmy.ca so I’m going to assume you’re Canadian. If I started judging all Canadians based on what Alberta does, how would that make you feel? And what about the Inuit people? Canada and its leaders aren’t exactly perfect either. Do you want me to start judging all Canadians based on something Trudeau (or any other leader for that matter) did?

Either way, don’t bother responding to this because I’m starting to think you’re responding in bad faith and I don’t feel like wasting energy on this anymore. Have a good day o/

Just because someone is underpaid doesn’t mean they have nothing to lose. That’s exactly why we’re in the situation we are right now. People that are buying the propaganda obviously won’t do anything about it, and even among people that don’t, many aren’t in the position where they’ll be alright if they get wrongly deported, detained, injured, or even just sent to court. Good lawyers aren’t exactly cheap and neither are medical bills.

Yes, the government here sucks and I don’t want to be caught dead defending them (especially considering they would never defend me), but creating a divide between regular people is also exactly what they want because it helps them promote their naive nationalism. Attacking regular people isn’t exactly a great way to get others to agree with your ideas. All it does is convey a sense of elitism and hostility.

In my experience it’s more of a “everyone is too overworked and underpaid to have time to fact check all of the political lies being thrown around.” And the people that aren’t overworked are either the ones trying to lead protests and voting movements, or the ones upholding the status quo because it benefits them. Definitely not as simple as “Americans hate having basic protections”

If it’s only for them then they shouldn’t mind getting their Wayland protocol veto privilege taken away 🤷

Reminder: Most devs actually care about the things they make. This is a management/timeline problem, not a developer one.

The ghost doesn’t get a gravestone

Did some digging and I think it’s these projects:

Is it bad that I already knew what this would print the moment I read the meme?

… and are keeping the hate to the appropriate boards (X, I believe it’s called nowadays). Should we contract his work and apply it where applicable?

There is no “appropriate board” for hate speech, whether it’s antisemitism, transphobia, or anything else. If you wouldn’t want someone to be a nazi in your office, why would you pay them if you know they’re a nazi somewhere else? Is it fine as long as it’s someone else’s problem?

On another level, if you had to pay a developer, and you have reason to think they might donate the money you give them to an antisemitic cause, or directly use it to fund their own antisemitism, would you still want to give them that money? Or maybe look elsewhere, even if it means getting something slightly worse?

Reaching a middle ground on an Internet discussion? No, it can’t be. There must be something wrong here. I need to keep arguing about minor things like daily routines. Why else would I be here?

/s if it wasn’t obvious. This thread makes me happy, have a good day :)

Obviously, it’s a silly semantic debate, and someone could equally judge me for wanting my coffee beans roasted and ground “why not eat the berries fresh if you say you love coffee‽”.

My point is that it would be silly to judge someone for this, just like it’s silly to judge someone for putting creamer in coffee.

Edit: also, what about drinks like mochas, cappuccinos, macchiatos, etc. which also have other ingredients mixed in? Generally it’s still fine to call those forms of coffee, no?

Random side note: I’ve had chocolate-dipped espresso beans before and they’re actually a pretty good snack. You just can’t eat too many of them because of the caffeine content.

I think the idea is that you can eventually get an approximation of whatever wave-like curve you want by merging several pure sin/cos functions with varying amplitudes, wavelengths, and offsets

Fun fact: this is mostly how JPEG works - it uses fourier transforms to approximate an image in a way that takes up much less storage than storing information about each pixel.

Yeah that’s still gatekeeping though. Coffee is coffee regardless of what you put in it. Even if it’s gross according to my own individual taste, it’s still coffee. Saying anything else is just “better-than-you” gatekeeping.

Edit: it’s also nothing like your example at all, because coffee with creamer is still literally made with real coffee, while an apple jacks pop tart is almost definitely not made with real apples.

Imagine gatekeeping caffeine

If you have a weak sense of smell then you can’t taste them at all. I can taste most things fine though (la croix excluded) without them tasting bland. Smell definitely adds to flavoring but it’s not like it’s the only thing responsible for how you taste food/drinks.

They aren’t actually flavored at all, they’re just scented. If you plug your nose you can’t taste them

The date on this is 2017 so that would be pretty impressive if these were bots

Hey how did you get into my cities skylines world?

Rust is only huge because it doesn’t have an ABI. If you had an ABI (and didn’t have to compile every single dependency into the binary) the binary sizes would probably drop a lot to the point where they’re only slightly bigger than a C counterpart

Edit: I don’t know if Go has an ABI but they also include a runtime garbage collector in their binaries so that probably has something to do with it.
