Seems like a self defeating strategy, but you do you.

Marie Antoinette would be proud.

The article pretty clearly explains what it means.

That anime chick takes off her clothes, and has sexy time talk with you. It is indeed a pornographic sex bot.

It kills me that this take is so hard to find online.

Did I think calling the main branch “master” was offensive before this controversy? No, I’d never even considered it.

Does switching to calling it “main” impact me, like… at all? Also no. It’s like the lowest effort change to make.

If I can make my industry more welcoming to a more diverse group of people, that is a solid victory and way more important than the name of my primary git branch.

I don’t think it’s really gaming-to-politics. I think it’s more like gaming-to-very-loud-bigot. The fact that bigotry is so tightly coupled into right wing politics is just coincidental.

So is plastic, apparently, but nobody is insisting that if I would only eat it prepared differently that I would love it.

So are you just trying to be an ass here, or are you genuinely just so invested that you can’t see you’re arguing in bad faith?

I carry around a 3x5 split keyboard with Colemak-dh mapped via firmware. Because I, too, am absolutely useless at a qwerty keyboard now.

Rust introduces novel features and makes notable changes from its ancestors.

Arch was just blue Gentoo.

Chocolate, cherry, pistachio is where it’s at.

The mind-boggling thing about Idaho to me is that they have convinced a bunch of people from Oregon that Idaho is so great that a bunch of counties should secede and join Idaho.

I’m not making this up. It’s called the Greater Idaho Movement. They want to take over about 2/3 of Oregon.

I learned about this after moving to Oregon and was relieved to hear that at least my county had already voted against it.

Also, “dot” with a hard T is like super common in programming naming. It’s a pretty reasonable mistake to make.

 
  1. Webpages won’t be the primary interface anymore. Traditional browsers were built to load webpages. But increasingly, webpages — apps, articles, and files — will become tool calls with AI chat interfaces. In many ways, chat interfaces are already acting like browsers: they search, read, generate, respond. They interact with APIs, LLMs, databases. And people are spending hours a day in them. If you’re skeptical, call a cousin in high school or college — natural language interfaces, which abstract away the tedium of old computing paradigms, are here to stay.

Owner of web browser says webpages are cooked, I guess.

Wow.

 

Do we have an established practice for requesting defederation?

I would very much like to request that we defederate from burggit.moe (because I would prefer to keep my lemmy experience free of loli porn) and I went looking for the best way to do this, but the best I could come up with was posting to meta and that seems like the wrong place.

I feel like I missed something obvious ¯_(ツ)_/¯
