The other issue with periodic password changes, particularly in the workplace but also relevant in normal life, is that it causes people to write down their password. The issues with that should be glaring enough

I did have to explain DKP

“So basically imagine if capitalists distributed loot”

And you feel like you portrayed that ideology by belittling me for not being interested in Pixelfed?

Wow. Not even an ad hominem, literally just blind judgement. You have no idea what interests me, and no way to tell how I have interacted with Pixelfed. You have no concept of the idea that some people are just not into the things you enjoy.

Do you have any idea just how much content is out there in the world? You could browse through a petabyte of data and it could all be boring drivel to you because there are zettabytes of data out there in the internet. Some of it is bound to bore any random individual. That doesn’t preclude me from enjoying the entire rest of the internet.

You remind me of people in red hats.

Yeah and none of those are my niche. Not to mention, content discovery is still difficult even if you personally see things you’re interested in lol

One of the big issues that I personally had with Pixelfed is that content discovery is kind of difficult on the platform. Sure, there’s probably some pictures out there of the obscure shit I’m into. However, all I ever found on pixelfed was like landscape/nature photography and a little bit of porn

was dead

20k MAU can feel pretty dead, even 100k can if none of them are sharing things you’re interested in.

2MW also isn’t much

It’s a proof of concept, they’re not actually trying to power anything with this. They’re just checking their math on a small scale before doing the full scale lol

While I do agree with what you’re saying, I actually think a “by women for women” instance has a slightly different impact than a “by women for women” community. There are definitely pros and cons for both, though

What do I care what language the library is written in as long as it works for what I need it do?

Doesn’t matter what it implies. The entire purpose of programming is to make it so a human doesn’t have to go do something manually.

not x tells me I need to go manually check what type x is in Python.

len(x) == 0 tells me that it’s being type-checked automatically

Honestly most people use Python because it has fantastic libraries. They optimize it because the language is middling, but the libraries are gorgeous

ETA: This might double post because my Internet sucks right now, will fix when I have a chance

If I could get the adsp

Author Domain Signing Practices? Requires internet access by the looks of my quick search, so your race is between your Ethernet/wifi and the boot-up process. The only ways to fix it are to make the computer connect to the Internet faster, which is impossible for many. Most people substitute by adding a delay for getting into user space until after connection is establish

20 minutes till dawn and disfigure are my go-to topdowns

There quite a handful of IoT devices out there that will run Linux too. Many of them, in fact, run BSD by default

Ya never know you’re in the good ol days till they’re over

I’m just gonna chalk this up to you not understanding my points literally at all and stop having this conversation. You are insufferable to talk to and outright refuse to see my point at all.

Okay, fine. I’ll do big words with you.

Let’s talk about the difference between Ethics and Morals. Ethics are what you individually follow, it’s your Ethos. Morals are what a society follows.

It may be morally correct to say that “people should be allowed to do as they please” while also ethically correct to say “you shouldn’t disrespect people’s wishes.”

You’re right, that it is moral for someone to imitate art. At least, in our culture. But that’s because most people follow the ethos that they can do and take as they please. I personally hold myself to a higher standard than that, and I hope you can do the same some day.

Edit to add: Fuck the golden rule. Follow the Platinum rule.

What do you make of the use of email in the business world? You’re right that quite a bit of that has turned into instant messaging as well, ie I text my boss instead of sending them mail but it definitely feels like that’s going away a lot slower if not expanding

I’m curious, not bashing. What signs have you seen that lead you to believe email is dying?
