I think this would be less surprising if we didn’t imagine LGBTQ people were one homogeneous block of political beliefs and opinions. Some of my most right-wing friends are gay.

I agree with this. Communist like systems where there is central control of resources encourages corruption as people vie to get closer to the central control of the resources. Capitalism is just more honest about the fact that many people - not all of them - are fundamentally self-interested and entices them into cooperation with others by offering the carrot of individual rewards. Those are probably the same people that would try to exploit the system if it were more centrally controlled.

I remember looking at charity jobs when I was graduating with my humanities degree before I got into tech. Revealingly, the alumi I was speaking to who worked in the sector said something like, “At it’s core you need to remember that working for a charity is essentially a sales job.”

Made me nope tf out of there lol.

Yes, you’re right, from my understanding nothing is in the kernel. Was more referring to the “re-write in rust!!” meme but admittedly that’s a strawman.

UB is only one class of error you can get in a big, complex program. Re-writing functionality opens the door to every other potential class of error too.

I liked the approach the kernel devs were taking where rust modules were being integrated without the ‘core’ code being touched. I think people who want a complete re-write of everything (if they exist outside of my convenient straw man) are probably better off starting a fresh kernel project.

dudes rock

Canonical were on thin ice with all this snap nonsense but if they can’t even get the basics right then something is rotten in Denmark.

I was going to apply for a Data Engineer role with them but withdrew the application after reading a reddit thread about how long and convoluted the process was.

After reading this thread I feel like the original post is more like a soapbox than a shitpost. No personal opinion about the politics but I thought this was a humour sub.

My mind is telling me “no”…

Lua is as easy as python, potentially easier. I don’t think writing a one-off script with it to solve a specific problem is a nuts idea.

I love when people say they hate Hippocrates on social media

I’ve had great results asking about emulators such as PPSSPP

I think this is a case of the Seinfeld effect where people take them for granted due to them being so influential that part of their sound has become imbued into every single pop band that came after them.

It’s in my DNA, cause my pops liked to shitpost the same way,

It’s in my DNA, cause my moms liked to shitpost the same way,

DNA, DNA cause my fam like to all shitpost the same way

DNA, DNA cause my fam like to all shitpost the same way

I believe you could buss’ in a bussy if you were so inclined

“lit” seems like a 21st century artefact to me

Yeah the creative side of it is nuts. They seem to just throw things at the wall to see what sticks. I used to work in adtech doing web attribution so I’ve got some perspective on that. The upshot of it is that like 90% of a marketing budget is always wasted but no one knows which is the good 10%…

Made a comment a wee while ago with more details if you are interested - https://lemmy.world/comment/7031249

Saw a post the other day on AskUk or somewhere similar which was the most blatant astroturfing I’ve seen to date. It was someone asking if people had seen the latest ad for a toilet paper brand on tv with a brief description of the ad. The ad itself sounded like it had been designed to be a bit gross to up the meme potential, didn’t watch it though.

Skepta - Disguise

Kevin Smith himself has discussed it as a bad tweet in interviews since. The tweet itself is funny because it is a mixture of TMI and cringey youth slang; then the general background context of him being a professional writer makes the bad tweet more incongruous.
