JS land is the America of development. You may not like it, but it's the encumbent power and it'll be that way for a long time so might as well enjoy the plus sides

well... it is a mental health problem. Plus culture. Switzerland has guns and just as many people with mental health problems as the rest of the 'developed' world, but almost 0 shootings.

Did you know I have a pet?

Here let me show you!

100% 👍👍👍 the BBC did a great docu-series on Raynd. If you're wondering what it is that you can't quite put your finger on about her work, it's that she's utterly miserable. A person whose geat intellect can't even make them joyful is a person whose intellect has turned against them.

we're not part of the EU anymore and therefore not covered by the EU's mandate that is forcing Apple's hand

The core issue is soil quality. Without sufficient organic content in the soil, all our food, whether it be plant or meat, has drastically reduced nutritional content meaning we need to consume more for the same effect. We're heading for a global food shortage because of the one key issue. Healthy soil also sequesters an enormous amount of carbon from the atmosphere. So instead of fighting the beef vs tofu wars, we should be focusing on encouraging agricultural practices that enrich soil rather than destroy it. We have about 50 years of crop cycles left before the majority of arable earth turns to sand.

Shifting your diet to be more plant-based is a good idea, but it's not the crux of the issue.

Thinkpads tend to have excellent build quality, solid firmware and well thought out design. Price to performance on second-hand models is always outstanding and their popularity ensures hardware compatibility with Linux.

Of the brands you named, I just don't trust the hardware. Tuxedo computers for example uses Tongfang white-label computers that they just slap their logo on. Quality control isn't as thorough as Lenovo's, firmware is sketchy, TDP tends to be all over the place and keyboard quality doesn't come close.

Thinkpads also have-- and I can't stress the importance of this enough-- a nipple. I don't really use it, but if you try to take it away from me I'll bite you.

I think this map was made by an American cos it's referencing cultural things that I don't know or care about.

A nice refresh on the "give a man a fish" saying 😂

This seems to be a serious downside to this system. Anyone who values a persistent profile is putting their precious data in the hands of some random instance that may or may not go bust in the near or (perhaps worse) distant future.

I'm on lemmy.world because it's the most likely to survive

I joined another instance and it closed within 2-3 weeks...

I missed a credit card repayment by 1 day and my score dropped almost 300 points (UK. 800 (very good) -> ~500 (below average))

I'm sure an AI could make you a stupid useless AI if you asked

You don't have to pay attention because you can look at the screen for 2 seconds at any point in the movie and know exactly what's happened and what's going to happen

the second screen from a design point of view is way more interesting and isn't just using stock wireframes

Either way I'm loooooving sync. Way slicker than the other two I tried

Holy Jebus, that is the absolute most bleeding edge phone I have ever seen, and it costs less than a Pixel 7a...

But agree with others that the software is a deal breaker. Loading this up with stock android would be a much better experience, but of course with roms there is a price to pay in terms of stability and compatibility.

I think Mars Attacks counts, although perhaps the humans and aliens were portrayed as being equally stupid 😄

EDIT: did not realise I was posting in a books group. Just came up in my main feed. Anyway Ima leave Mars Attacks here in case anybody forgot about this excellent film.

Same. 3h or less usually. Love my colleagues, the work is fine. But the requirements are so low that I'm able to manage a startup during work hours 😌 #softwaredeveloper

I'm all about the side-folders (Z-Fold), the flip folders (Z-Flip) are cool but gimmicky. Never owned one, but probably will one day!
