Are you implying that sports aren’t popular everywhere or that everywhere is a dictatorship?

You can make vegan milk at home and it’s way cheaper than cow’s milk. Oat milk is SUPER EASY: 1 cup oats/2 cups water, soak for 15 minutes, blend and strain. Others are similarly easy and there are plenty of recipes online.

My baseless opinion is that having a variety of instances with varying ethoses means that there’s a good home instance for everyone (not just the verysmart, young, white, male, liberal a la Reddit), and federation means that that variety of people are intersecting and interacting a lot more than if instances were completely separate. At the same time, it still feels like a small community, or maybe a bunch of small communities. There seems to be a lot less of the snarky clapbacks and unpopular opinions getting nuked that’s typical of other social media.

I agree. Not only is this blaming homosexuality as the cause for oppression of gay people, but it implicitly gives homophobes a completely made-up excuse (“they can’t help it because they’re so ashamed of who they are deep down”). Don’t give your oppressors the benefit of the doubt.

Well it wasn’t a website, for what it’s worth.

Tangentially related, I remember at one of my jobs being tasked (several years in a row) with updating the copyright year in all our source files’ headers.

Omg I just read this scene in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure!

I got super sick from this. It probably didn’t help that I was trying soothe my upset stomach with more peanut butter.

Not rude. Per the article, this is North Korea’s response to groups in South Korea sending balloons with propaganda leaflets and stuff (unsolicited care packages, basically) north. It seems they feel the south isn’t doing enough to prevent these.

It seems more childish than diabolical, but I would do the same probably as a last resort. Like throwing somebody’s McDonald’s bag back into their car.

Is this sarcasm? They’re TPing each other’s houses.

im multisexual which means i like multiple sex

I suspect there are a lot of “Rust devs” that are little more than kool-aid drinkers. Common refrains are that Rust is the fastest language, most type-safe language, and most powerful language. Rust certainly seems to move the state of the art forward in some ways, but you can still write garbage code in it.

I’ve worked with lots of different people in lots of different languages, and I think I’d rather good people in a bad language than the other way around by a mile.

I can finally finish my Gyro Zeppeli cosplay

I actually think QA is the one that shouldn’t be a separate role. Test cases ought to be written by the product owner or project manager as part of defining a feature to implement, and they should do manual testing of a feature before marking it done. Implementing automated tests is probably already the developer’s job.

This is my perspective on a lot of art and music. If something is universally hated, I want to know why it is and if I can find any redeeming qualities. A lot of my favorite things have that characteristic of doing something very specific extremely well but being generally unlikeable.

I appreciate the swords-into-ploughshares mindset

Switching to Linux or… maybe?

Ethan Iverson has a pretty interesting article about jazz pianists and how their individual styles changed (or didn’t) over the course of their careers, and he noted that IIRC many pianists whose technique was mainly finger-focused had a significant shift in style later in life versus pianists whose technique involved more arm movement.

My window decorations are off globally in KDE. I don’t remember how I did it. It might be a theme I had to download?
