You can't expect those neckbeards that haven't touched grass in a century to understand that ethnicity is independent from citizenship.

Hamster are much like lobsters, in that they just keep growing forever until they can't molt anymore.

If you don't laser explode hamsters, they would eventually be able to eat humans. Which is quite scary if you think about it.

Would you still love me if I were a millipede? 🥺👉👈

Semi related: There's a cool rabbit hole you can dive into when it comes to coastline lengths of some countries. Specifically the UK.

Depending on who measured the coastline and with which method the results can be wildly different because there's always some form of simplification required. See this video for example: Link

So stupid. Everyone knows we use bunny eggs for easter.

Why anyone would spend 1500 dollars and 300 hours on a parody is beyond me but it's impressive work nonetheless for a solo dev.

The gameplay was fun to watch, but mostly just because the characters steps sounded like their shoes were sticky after they stepped into some spilled cola or zombie guts or whatever.

Recently switched jobs from maintaining a 15 year old Windows Forms .NET Framework legacy codebase.

At the new job we stick to Clean Architecture, use unit and integration tests, have a code generation tool, actually make nice use of generics and use dependency injection. Also agile processes, automatic build tools, whatever. The difference is night and day and I'm so glad my ex boss fired me because I told him he's an asshole and his codebase is shit.

Don't get me wrong, I think gender reveal parties are ridiculous as well, but what would your guys opinion be on how gender assignment should be handled at birth?

I have a (cis) daughter and would be fully supportive if she came out as non-binary or trans, but as a parent I still want her to be able to socialise with other kids and that means that there just are some societal standards we have to conform to in order for her to be accepted by her peers. It's not like I can raise her as this gender neutral entity until she is old enough to grasp the "gender is a social construct" thing, especially not if I would take things away from her she enjoys or might enjoy.

Reshaping how society thinks is a slow burn matter, and getting mad at people for conforming to current standards or for being happy that they are having a child won't help them see your point of view.

Ha! I'm partially looking at this issue in my bachelor's thesis.

It's not at all necessary to embed a browser, but it's really easy to transfer your web app to a "near native" experience with stuff like electron, ionic, cordova, react native or whatever other web stuff is out there. The issue is mostly that native APIs are complicated and relying on web views or just providing your own "browser" is a relatively easy approach.

Stuff like Flutter, Xamarin or .NET MAUI compile depending on the platform to native or are interpreted by a runtime. There's a study I use that compares Flutter to React Native, native Java and Ionic on Android and finds that unsurprisingly the native implementation is best, but is closely followed by Flutter (with a few hiccups), with the remainder being significantly slower.

The thing is. I don't think these compiled frameworks lag behind in any way. But when you have a dev team, that's competent in web development, you won't make them learn C#, Xaml, Dart or C++, just to get native API access - you'll just let a framework handle that for you because it's cheaper and easier.

Edit: To add some further reading. This paper and this one explore the different approaches out there and suggest which one might be "the best". I don't feel like they're good papers, but there's almost no other write up of cross-platform dev approaches out there.

Edit2: I also believe that the approach "we are web devs that want access to native APIs" may be turned around in the future, since Flutter and now also .NET offer ways to deploy cross-platforn apps as web apps. I'll get back to writing the thesis now and stop editing.

Reasonable

I don't think I understand your point about them impersonating users? It seems to me like an account gets created for everyone using the portal. It then provides you a password and you can start using that account. I tried it just now and it seems like your account gets flagged as bot on creation automatically. So most people posting from that domain, might just not have unchecked that "I'm a bot"-tick and are actual former Reddit users.

Creating an account doesn't make a user active though, but for the question if a bot posting stuff counts as an active user or not, I honestly can't say.

It's active users, not total users. I'm not sure on the exact metric, but users need to post, comment, vote or whatever to be counted for this statistic.

For some DLSS can mean the difference between an okay experience or a refund. It's a band-aid you put on a badly optimised game, but it works.

Adding frames becomes relevant when you're starting to go below 60 or 30 fps, depending on your taste. And while I don't enjoy it only working on Nvidia cards either, they still have a quasi-monopoly on the GPU market, so I'm glad they're still thinking up new things instead of stagnating.

brb, going to scatter some caltrops in the roads

In case you're interested I've tried out a few things and kinda settled on fish, but will still use bash for scripting.

Fair point. For me using a distro dedicated to making Arch accessible just is more attractive than having an installer and being on my own afterwards.

But yeah, EndeavourOS is pretty much just an installer with purple space theming.

Definitely. For now every fix that worked for Arch, also worked for me.

I think EndeavourOS profits greatly from being so close to Arch, because right now every fix that worked for an Arch user also worked for me.

Idk much about other distros, but maybe try Pop OS first and see if you like it.

As I mentioned I've ran into really weird issues with steam because of some missing dependencies that are mentioned on page 49 of google search results.

This will send me down another 4h rabbit hole today, thanks 😬
