As someone fairly new to lemmy, I had to look into this drama with lemmy.world, lemmygrad and hexbear. It has definitely shed some light on who has the big stick and who likes to play police.

Majority of dems are literally just there for a pay check, and now they have to work for it?! Oh no… Anyway…

Makes sense, they don’t want to be pointed out from a lineup for just following orders.

Wait until they figure out that anarchocapitalists aren’t anarchists

https://feddit.org/post/7894572 earliest post I could find. It’s a clever exploit, but it was patched 3 days ago.

She’s literally in a cult.

Recording of her dad, the cult leader ranting against the gays..

Here she is in an ad against gay marriage in 1998.

I had to find this theme (and tweak the colours a bit) to just stand the site. The userscript Lemmytools also helps a bit, albeit half broken.

Next you’ll tell me they’re wearing pointy white “balaclavas”.

Reading about the Tulsa race massacre is so crazy, like World War 1 planes, some say up to 12, others at least 8 of them doing stuff like: “… turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs being dropped and men shooting from planes”. Some also suspect the use of dynamite, so it’s possible they were quite literally dropping bombs.

Fuuuuuck… I was really hoping I didn’t need to migrate away from gmail… But looks like this is it.

Who was the lady that was deaf and blind, and famously overcame those?

Might be Helen Keller, very famous deafblind activist. A quote from wikipedia kind of shows how hard communicating when senses are limited:

The next month, Keller made a breakthrough, when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of “water”. Writing in her autobiography, The Story of My Life, Keller recalled the moment:

I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten—a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that w-a-t-e-r meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, set it free!

Just last week I was looking up ADHD and autism in blind people, but I was also questioning whether blind people could have aphantasia. Or rather, how does blind people perceive roundness or a circle in their mind? They know what it feels like at least, so is it tied to some other sense? I’m guessing blind people have a way of mapping out surroundings and 3D space, but I imagine explaining how a person thinks about stuff like this is as hard to describe as whether two people perceive the same colours the same way.

“Bloody Just Stop Oil protesters blocking the road, preventing me to go to work just so they can spread the message that we’re all going to die! I HAVE A MORTGAGE!”

Thanks, this seems like a very thorough description of the situation. My limited understanding of how coding works and has worked through history is like you say “filled with a lot of jank” regarding memory because it was limited but also because compilers weren’t as efficient as they are today. So it makes sense that there are purists that believes the only good code is the one where programmers are in total control of every bit of memory themselves instead of leaving anything to automation.

That’s actually really cool. I like that the dev has expressed that he doesn’t want to make the algorithm addictive and just keep it random 😅

Most comments with links are straight up deleted from YT comments. Moderation has gotten pretty strict there since covid.

Some of the comments on that article made me realise I’m a bit out of the loop: what makes Asahi linux “woke”?
It is sad though that there is so much drama around linux development. It’s easy for me to say this, but I do think it’s important that there is a switch to a newer language like Rust away from C eventually.
