dragontangram88 , in Would you be in favour of assisted dying being introduced for terminally ill patients in your country?
@dragontangram88@lemmy.world avatar

No. It should never be legal. You will see an increase in people trying to get power of attorney over their spouse, or relative, so that they can advocate for assisted death, when that might not be what the patient actually wants. I don’t want to see abusive people having the power to legally murder other people.

Thats not a take on the subject I'd seen before. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

BonesOfTheMoon , in Do you have some minor life advice?

Letterkenny taught me that girls who tuck their phone into their bras cannot be knocked down, but girls who take their shoes off on the dance floor will try.

yoz , in Just wanted to say a quick hello to all the other women out there on Lemmy

Whaa ..There's women on Lemmy ?

Diplomjodler ,

I bet she doesn't even use Arch!

Persen , in How often do you upgrade your phone?
  1. for 3y - galaxy grand prime
  2. for 2y - huawei p20 lite, would still use it if i didn't destroy it
    Now :mi 11 lite 5g - from 2021, board, display issues, annoyed by absence of the headphone jack.
  • pinephone (terrible hardware, but suprisingly good software) after the destruction of p20 lite until the 11lite
I_Miss_Daniel , in How often do you upgrade your phone?

Usually when it gets to the point the camera app takes too many seconds to open, although for my last phone it didn't like going for a swim. Now the backlight only works if the phone is warm. New LCD on order.

About three years I guess normally.

SorteKanin , in Thoughts about sublinks ?
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

My pessimistic side is saying that it's a lot of effort that could've been spent on making Lemmy better instead. If everyone organised around Lemmy, nobody would need to migrate and stuff. If it's due to the devs, could just fork. It seems like the primary motivation is to switch from Rust to Java and switch out the devs at the same time. I don't agree with moving away from Rust and I don't think the devs are as out of touch as some people say (but maybe I just haven't been informed yet).

My optimistic side is saying that this will be good for both projects, as either can thrive independently and Lemmy and Sublinks servers will obviously continue to function together, just like Lemmy and the other Fediverse servers are currently doing anyway. More choice is never a bad thing and maybe some competition can be good for the whole space.

I think only time will tell what happens with both projects.

They picked Java specifically because it will make it easier for them to get more contributors.

@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

I'm not convinced that that is actually true (that it will bring more contributors, that is). We'll see, but we have yet to see it.

Rust is an extremely hyped language online these days (just check the size of !rust and !java for example). If we talk about contributors, I don't think it's a bad choice. Yes, more people right now know Java (apparently not on programming.dev though? 😅), but probably a lot more people are interested in learning Rust than learning Java (Stack overflows survey suggests so). In the (not close, to be fair) future, there could easily be more Rust devs than Java devs.

Besides, in my humble opinion as a professional software engineer, Rust is just a better language than Java. It has native speed and much lower memory usage, but more importantly, it's more reliable and robust than Java (better/more complete error handling essentially). This shouldn't be surprising - Rust is a much newer language that has been able to take all the good stuff from many different languages from the past.

The_wild_card OP ,

I agree they could just make the tools they want and am pretty sure the devs will merge em . The reason seem political even though both parties won't say it

The_wild_card OP ,

Actually they did'nt i think its just an excuse.

The_wild_card OP ,

Yeah hard agree instead of duplicting efforts they could've made the tools they want and the devs would've merged it

0ops ,

At the very least, diversity breeds robustness. I think it's good that all the eggs aren't winding up in the same basket

Kaiyoto , in I just found out that my best friend in high school and the best man at my wedding is in prison.

I found out my best friend of 20 years turned into a lesbian. Explained a lot of her behavior towards me in retrospect. I had cut ties with her because she turned into a bitch and I was done with the abuse.

I used find myself really wanting to get in touch with her again because she was like a sister, but I finally realized that I missed the person she was when we grew up and that she was a different person now. That person I was best friends with is long gone.

Thorny_Insight , in Wooohooo downvotes!

I turned off the scores and I already dislike this place less. Getting downvoted poisons my mind no matter how hard I try and convince me otherwise

    seesaw , in Now that you have settled here on Lemmy. What is your impression of it?

    It's much worse than reddit. Mods are total dictators. They ban without any reason, only based on their political views. You criticize Hamas? Banned from worldnews. You're free to spread antisemitic propaganda because it's fine for them. It's the opposite of how it should be in many ways

    m13 ,

    Just go back to Reddit. People being anti-Zionist and anti-genocide is not “antisemitic”, and it’s antisemitic of you to lump all Jewish people in with your fascist ideology.

    Go to Reddit’s worldnews. You can get all the genocidal content you desire because it’s totally overrun with Zionist propaganda and IDF sockpuppets agreeing with each other.

    Encode1307 ,

    It's this shit that makes lemmy terrible

    m13 ,

    Lemmy isn’t terrible though. It’s good actually. I won’t apologise for being hostile toward shitheads.

    seesaw ,

    What genocide exactly? According to whom? Al Jazeera?

    FYI zionism is a made up term by the people who hate Jews and cover up their racism.

    redfox ,
    @redfox@infosec.pub avatar

    This is what most of these people are talking about when they say viewpoints are critical and hateful.

    People can have different viewpoints without being an ism/ist.

    I don't understand why people can't differentiate or stop conflating opinions or perspectives with hate, violence, or something-ism.

    Also, I am not advocating for hate, something-ism, killing, etc. Not everyone who doesn't agree with you is a fascist, hater, genocide supporter, etc. Not ever opinion on a matter is propaganda.

    Retreaux , in I'm tired of both US parties

    Honestly, it ticks me off when people attack third party voters instead of going after the majority of eligible voters that just don't vote at all. Like, if you have such a problem with my personal vote, please go after the people who didn't even try first. Thank you for voting, and your reasons are yours and yours alone.

    Virtue signalling and punishing people who use their constitutional ability to vote vs those who don't even bother absolutely infuriates me.

    citrusface ,

    It's not about attacking a 3rd candidate - it's that this is a 2 party system. You can fucking hem an haw all you want - you can believe whatever the fuck you want. You can be the most leftist fucking tankie or evangelical rightwing nut job. It doesn't matter - be what you want, follow your ideals.

    But when it comes to voting - you have 1 chance to make your vote count that's - during the primaries.

    After that you tow the line and vote D or R - because that's the only way you will see the SLIGHTEST amount of change in the direction you want.

    Fal , in What is your current wallpaper? Where did you find it?

    Ehm... Akshually, the entity you refer to as "woman" doesn't exist. It's just a distraction by the deep state. WAKE UP PEOPLE

    shinigamiookamiryuu OP Mod ,

    As opposed to talking it out (since this is casual conversation; what's even the context)? This is one of the reasons many people look down on Reddit (where it is way too easy), we would appreciate if you didn't give the TOS a harder time than it already might have. Fortunately I'm the kind of person who advocates against permabans.

    cyberpunk007 , in Do you think people's personality often times matches their looks?

    Most of the time someone walking around with a frown is a grouch, someone walking around with a smile is kind. I dunno.
