YouTube Support,
I wish to appeal my ban on the grounds that death threats are acceptable greetings among my people.

... and I suppose that another reason I dislike working with #Rust, is that it's always "you can use this feature X except in cases where Y" and for every X there's a different Y, there doesn't seem to be a restricted set of basic code organization techniques that you can universally apply, you always have to learn a million edge cases to get anywhere

Do you want to easily publish your 3D models on the Fediverse?
We're looking for volunteers to beta test the flagship public Manyfold instance, which will be launching very soon!
Send us a private message to get the link, and join us in Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#manyfold:matrix.org
I think I've worked out one reason I dislike working with Rust. Consider this phrase:
"For example, there is no way to write this function in a way that is generic over the Container trait"
This kind of phrasing is very common in the Rust world. But what does "generic over a trait" *mean*, exactly? I can look up what a trait is just fine, and 'generic' too, but 'over' is far too generic of a word to find anything helpful.
This is just one example, and it's not really about this specific question - more that Rust documentation often uses words in ways that are ambiguous to me, with no clear path to figuring out what is meant there.

my hatred at JavaScript isn't that much about the language itself, its kinda okay, its more at just how OVER RELIED ON its on every single website

Had another of those weird moments where I was trying real hard to pinpoint someone's dialect until it hit me near the end of the conversation that they were speaking Swedish >.<
I wonder how much of the 'usability' disaster in software development can be attributed to software developers thinking about usability in terms of 'intelligence' and similar ableist views rather than in terms of 'time and effort available to spend on it', because I suspect it's a pretty big chunk...

Voor alle NS abonnees die een mail van Koolmees hebben gekregen: beoordeel de mail met een 👎 en vul in dat je achter de staking staat.
Al dan niet aangevuld met iets over solidariteit en klassenstrijd en zijn salaris. Zie bijvoorbeeld hier @apenkop https://mstdn.social/@apenkop/114703480484242182

I've lately had #Steam crash in a rather spectacular way sometimes (and just now it happened twice).
Spectacular as in it starts showing random windows, sometimes error popups, sometimes settings dialogs, sometimes shit I didn't even know existed.
I really wonder how the hell that even happens. Like, which part of the UI code allows whatever is doing this to open a random window. Are they all in an array? Is it a CEF thing that is handled in C++ that somehow gets corrupted? Wtaf is even happening there.
Anyone see a bug report about this?
Upd: found one

You should read every “here’s how AI will change your job” in the context of who has the power to change the conditions of work, and how that power is exercised. And remember that major changes to working conditions come about in one of two ways: as negotiation, and as coercion.

Got scabies? Got lice? Then DO NOT COME to #GPN23. Stay at home and get treated.
Same for any other infectious disease or parasite. Why does this even need to be said?
De NS kan nou natuurlijk wel gaan roepen dat ze een 'eindbod' doen, maar zo werkt dat natuurlijk niet met een staking...

Gisteren kreeg ik een excuusbrief van Wouter Koolmees, zetbaas van de NS.
Ik schreef hem terug:
(In de alt-tekst moest ik helaas wat woorden schrappen wegens de lengte van de tekst.)

politics, journalism
@mynameistillian a lot of people fall into the trap of believing the people who most vocally speak out against the mainstream news, decry all reporting as fake, gives the easy or appealing narratives the person wants to hear
facts become meaningless. what, you believe what you read on the guardian? the bbc? you trust anything google tells you? the internet is now full of lies. ai slop. bullshit peddlers. truth becomes a matter of faction. what team are you on?

"Is free will real?"
Wrong question. A better question is whether it is possible for someone to predict your choices with high precision. Or worse, whether it is possible for someone to direct your choices with or without your awareness or consent. In practice, those are the only factors that matter.
I don't care whether or not I technically have "free will". How much agency I have in a situation seems to matter a lot more.
