Can I answer for someone outside the US?

The only reason why I might be OK with Trump winning is that, perhaps, if you experience "fascism light" at the hand of an absolute dimwitted toddler, the damage might be reversible.

Just think about that... Any country wishing to destabilise the US, and destroy trust with allies, etc. Trump is peeeeerfect.

okamiueru ,

Not so much inside your home.

Anyone get stuck and confused by "insisted"?

okamiueru ,

Yes

okamiueru ,

So, IT?

What a weird defeatist thought. We're already in lala-land with 5% tax added, albeit measly, on the ruling class. So, why not lala all the way to a positive use of it?

The amount of time I've spent getting my MacOS to not be annoying... it's such a shit experience compared to Gnome/Linux. Every single day I use MacOS, I find a new annoying inconsistency, or either poor or directly bad UX design decision or implementation.

Next time I look for a place to work, I'd consider Windows or MacOS to require at least 30% higher salary to be worth the annoyance.

    If they cannot report on things like this, you might wonder why they don't report on important things like inequality, disappearing workers rights, etc, etc.

    Maybe a mechanism for collective bargaining can help mitigate the problem? Something, something, Reagan.

    I get mine to make a clicking sound. Audible to someone else if they stick their ear next to mine.

    Urbanisation and deforestation are not the same as enshitification tho.

    It's a bit unfortunate that "increased degree in which something is shit" sounds like what the word should mean, and I suppose it then sort of does.

    It's nice to have a word that describes the investor-driven incentives to worsen a service/product to milk out more short-term revenue. The larger a market capture is, the more that can be pushed without an alternative being a threat.

    It's the cycle of "provide a good quality service that makes everybody happy" -> market capture -> shareholders push for increase revenue at the expense of quality as there is no competition.

    okamiueru ,

    Hm. I didn't argue against anything of what you're saying here. I'm just saying that it arguably isn't "enshitification".

    Enshittification is the pattern of decreasing quality observed in online services and products such as Amazon, Facebook, Google Search, Twitter, Bandcamp, Reddit, Uber, and Unity

    I don't see how this is very contentious either.

    okamiueru ,

    I have to ask. Are you sincere?

    okamiueru ,

    Such a weird take on that back and forth. I suppose you're not used to saying Incorrect things, and having someone point that out.

    Reacting to that with sarcasm, to that extent? I hope you're a teenager still figuring yourself out.

    okamiueru ,

    So edgy!

    okamiueru ,

    Nah. I just know your type. And it sparks joy that it annoyed you to be called out on your BS. Funny you think this is "some kind of jury", and not basic knowledge you got wrong, while being rude AF to someone trying to educate you. Fix your attitude. It's shit.

    okamiueru ,

    Couldn't come up with anything original? Tsk-tsk. Plus, I wasn't the one who went out of their way to explain the basic shit you got wrong. ... recurring theme this.

    okamiueru , (edited )

    You literally wrote you were educating me. Are you stupid?

    What I wrote was: "while being rude AF to someone trying to educate you"

    You're the one who incorrectly assumed that "someone" was referring to me. It doesn't bother me at all whether or not you're rude to me. It annoyed me that you were rude to someone who was being kind. And, since you need to have things explained with extra care, I was referring to Imecht. The one who was trying to educate you, to whom you were rude to.

    I hope you start getting it, as this is now boring. So, how about instead of trying to come up with some kind of clever retort, you simply fuck off to somewhere were your arrogance isn't revealed as being that of a little shit. You'll enjoy it more.

    okamiueru ,

    I think you mistook it for the "large mirror" exhibition. Easy mistake to make.

    okamiueru ,

    Last time you made some effort, and it was amusing for once.

    okamiueru ,

    There's no perfect replacement for the Snip tool. I want to just spr+shift+s, click/drag a box, and done. So far the closest I've gotten is shift+prntscrn, click/drag, enter, which is more annoying by far.

    You can surely rebind that to just PRTSCR? That's the default for me. I much prefer being able to adjust the rectangle after an initial selection, not to mention that it remembers what it last was, so that you can to multiple grabs that are perfectly positioned to evaluate or illustrate some difference.

    It's the same number of keypresses (or in my case, one less), and you have additional functionality that doesn't get in the way. I'm curious how "more annoying by far" to click-drag-enter vs click-drag.

    You can readjust the selection, you can record video instead... Etc. Only difference is one keypress.

    Fascinating.

    okamiueru , (edited )

    What's the spr - key?

    You mention:

    • spr + shift + s, click and drag, release

    And say its annoying compared to

    • Shift + PRTSCR, click and drag, release, Enter

    Which seem to me like the same number of keypresses. In my case, it's one less. The only main difference is the order of that one enter-key being afterwards. And, by using that key as a confirmation-step, you get a whole bunch of extra functionality that you say you don't use. Which, if you don't use it, will still give you the exact same functionality, and doesn't affect you.

    Consider if you ever need to repeat the screen grab 10x times, the difference is:

    • Your preferred approach: 10 x (3 key press + click drag release). In total 30 keys, 10 mouse selections.
    • On my system: 1 key + click drag release + 1 key, 9 x 2 keypress. In total 20 keys, 1 mouse selection.

    I find it fascinating to care so strongly for something that is objectively a worse approach in every single way, with the only difference being the ordering of one keypress. And to care so strongly about that one keypress, that the optional versatility that gives (toggle video recording, adjust rectangle, reuse rectangle, move rectangle with same dimensions) is all in all considered a worse alternative. To each their own, and UX design is arguably not yours.

    okamiueru , 
    objectively a worse approach in every single way

    Subjectively, you mean

    Nope. Better UX design by every single metric. I hope you don't have a say in anything related to UX design. Cheers dude.

    I find this question very interesting. What does it mean to "know" a programming language. They map to certain paradigms for how to solve problems, in various degrees, with different tradeoffs there for surrounding tooling, libs, and what not.

    A bunch of the most familiar ones are procedural with different sprinkles on top, and they pretty much do the same things when it comes to the "language" side. So, "knowing" one, or another, IMO, has little to do with the syntax, parsing and keywords, and is much more if you have suffered through cryptic compile errors, figured out good debugging tooling, etc.

    Which is to say, if we compare these two list

    • C++, Haskell, Prolog
    • C++, Java, Python, Rust, Kotlin, Objective-C, Dart, etc

    I'd consider the first one much more impressive in terms of diversity in "knowing programming languages". And, I say that as someone belonging squarely in the latter.

    The image of USA is not good, at all, if that's what you're asking. I used to care, but some time around 2016 I simply gave up. Something about an obvious grifter and professional fuckwit, seriously considered to lead anything other than a burger to his fat face. The alternative, although infinitely better, is clearly suffering from some dementia. It's just a shit show.

    And that's just the politics. But it mirrors most other fucked up things in the US. The obvious and effective approaches are not considered. So... best to not spend too much effort and hope the impact of it reaching critical mass isn't too bad.

    okamiueru ,

    Are all Israelis Jewish? The US is such a fucking joke at this point. And it's tedious to block community after community on lemmy to avoid the noise of vapidness. Good luck with your fucked up politics.

    PS: I'd recommend excluding US specific news from "world news". Not sure if this stuff is moderated, or if those who do, give af about it.

    okamiueru ,

    Thanks for explaining it! That's it, right? I was wondering what tf it was trying to allude to as "quiet quitting". This isn't satire, then?

    What do they need the riot police for?

    The ones with the absolute most, are, by and large, contributing the absolute least?

    App mods work fine. It's just sad that "making the best product to the user" has very obviously not been the priority for many many years.

    You'd think these settings should be available to the user, right? Nope. This is from a modded version.

    Pesto contains pine nuts.

    Not sure if that helps or answers anything tho.

    Edit: From a different comment here, they mentioned pine nuts being the cause for them. Seems very plausible then.

    If A/B describe separate bus lanes, then A1, B1, A2, B2 make sense. If A/B describe your paired RAM, then A1, A2, B1, B2 make sense.

    In the EU, it sort of isn't.

    Takes a long time to write a proper response for all the GDPR stuff. The responses surprisingly don't change all that much whether or not I do, so I might as well save me the trouble.

    Arch Linux is suddenly the butt of a lot of memes?

    Over the past couple of weeks, I've seen a lot of content that's ripping on Arch Linux, from pictures of stickers being removed from laptops, to comments about it having a lot of bloat or frustrating package management. Was there a change to their policies, strategies, or distro that has turned this once proud vessel into a...

    okamiueru ,

    Blocked most Linux communities on lemmy, as most of them are low hanging dumb image memes that lost their relevancy about 10 years ago. Haven't ran that much into this since.

    That said, I use arch, and I'm very happy with it.

    • 1: same number of men and women
    • 2: twice as many men, as women
    • 3: three times as many... Etc
    • x: x times as many men

    Does this help?

    okamiueru ,

    The title explains it... If it isn't clear by that, it explains what that means in the text below. That my explanation was necessary is not really the fault of the infographic

    Am I too European to understand this?

    Out of all the things and ways "driving could be more sane", you think the sale of your data to for-profit, private, third parties... will somehow be for the common good?

    Yes, heat pumps slash emissions even if powered by a dirty grid | Installing a heat pump now is better for the climate, even on U.S. electricity generated mostly by fossil fuels. Here’s why ( www.canarymedia.com )

    The article doesn't go into it, but a key advantage they have is that heat pumps move heat, rather then trying to generate it. So they can move a lot more heat into your house than would be generated by running the electricity they use through a resistor. This makes them effectively more than 100% efficient (the exact amount...

    okamiueru ,

    I like pedants. Is it correct that they're not necessarily equally efficient in both directions? "Air conditioner" to transfer heat away, vs "heat pump" to transfer heat in? Even though both are heat pumps.

    okamiueru ,

    Thanks! I like you space cowboy.

    okamiueru ,

    What does that mean?

    okamiueru ,

    First thing you mention is such a fun and useful exercise. But as you point out, way overkill. Might even be dangerous to expose it. I got mine to 20kb on top of busybox.

    There is something that tickles the right spots when a complete container image significantly smaller than the average js payload in "modern" websites.

    It's when I gave up on US politics. If only it was such that Hillary won... and not that DNC actively conspired to make that happen.

    As messed up and anti-democratic so many things are in the US leading to "pick one of two things". The whole system is fundamentally broken when the selection of those two things is corrupt.

    But... when a person I wouldn't trust to be mentally suited to pack a bag of groceries* or park a car*, is elected president, and gets to pick several supreme court justices... The world isn't laughing at the US. They were laughing at the thought of Trump being in he primaries. They're deeply concern that a complete fuckwit ended up in charge, and what that might lead to.

    Democracy (i.e. the system of governance) requires informed voters. GOP (the political party) requires uninformed voters.

    The only way you can vote Republican or think that the orange baboon can be entrusted with anything more important than throw feces, is one of two thing (or both): 1) you are an idiot / uninformed 2) you are morally corrupt

    *: this isn't a put down directed at people who do these things, but that it requires some mental function in order to not crash the car, or steal some groceries... and I would be equally comfortable with Trump in that regard, as with a 6 year old. Which is to say: not at all. Which puts in perspective what I think of him being president.

    okamiueru ,

    Can confirm. It takes an hour to walk to the city. I have 3 grocery stores within 10 min of walking (checked with Google maps too)
