Empathy [he/him]

The advice I’m most scared not to follow as I get older: don’t dismiss everything that the younger generations say or do as being just a trend, and learn more about it.

Awesome, I’m looking for frameworks like this, thanks for sharing.

Anything that involves deception, which unfortunately seems to be most of marketing.

I don’t mind when people just try to get their product out there, just let it be known that it exists and does X thing differently or better. I hate when they mean to deceive. Something that is intended to deceive but isn’t technically a lie is not really better than a lie, to me.

Easiest solution IMO if you’re already using CloudFlare, even the free version: you can filter out certain countries. Otherwise, there’s probably other alternatives, even open source ones. A good thing to search for with your cloud provider or self hosted software may be middlewares, firewalls, serverless, edge functions, etc.

I’m pretty damn left leaning and I’ve never been called a tankie. I rarely even see anyone being called a tankie, except people who are defending authoritarians. The scope of the word “tankie” seemed generally pretty clear to me.

I thought that the line was that one supports owning the means of production and the other supports authoritarian governments, am I confused?

If you are arguing against voting, then I’d like to know: do you think your chances are better if Trump wins, if Biden wins, or do you believe they are indistinguishable? I’m having trouble understanding this.

I kept seeing so many different ones recommended and I kept getting weird issues I didn’t understand with most of them. I don’t often need to make a bootable Linux USB, but every time, Rufus did the job quick and easy.

Rust, because I’m lazy and I want a compiler that helps me out. Performance is a pretty neat bonus.

I’ve been using both Perplexity and Kagi for searching things, and it’s working out pretty well for me. The main thing that I find Kagi useful for is filtering to Fediverse results (which tends to be mostly Lemmy threads).

It’s pretty expensive though…

Which is the one with the snake logo?

Two days ago, I wouldn’t have felt particularly strongly about this sentiment, but my last few comments yesterday had some interesting interpretations…

I really like the word you used, code smell. I often have a hard time expressing to co-workers in code reviews why something feels off, it just does.

I’m trying out Kagi a little bit, and it has a federation search mode of some kind. I tried it for a search and it gave me results from Lemmy.

I don’t know yet how Kagi compares to Google in terms of results quality, I barely used it so far. It’s pretty expensive though.

That’s what I do all the time, and not on purpose. I don’t know what’s wrong with me

I’ve been wondering for a long time whether I’d ever meet somebody else who doesn’t use their phone in the bathroom.

I don’t really judge the people who do, might as well be entertained rather than doing nothing, but I personally feel like my hands are dirty while I’m on the toilet even if I don’t do anything (probably just a mental thing). Also, even on the bus, I had a tendency to just get lost in my head.

Also $83/mo HOA, oof.

Thanks for looking it up!

If somebody asked you to bring hot dogs and tacos to a party, the host would probably not be just as fine with you bringing only tacos or only hot dogs.

My Canadian bank just charged me $45 CAD twice and only noticed me a day after the second charge. I didn’t notice because I no longer use it. I wish the limit was $3…
