You gotta walk your own path.

Most people know exactly what they have to do to obtain a skill, start a business, make a friend, experience and adventure but simply don’t out of fear of the unknown.

The Internet is helpful but you got to put stock in your own lived experience.

No one cares and this will literally never be a talking point.

Trump beat Biden in a debate so badly, Biden dropped out. Trump now gets to say “dems are weak and messing you around with weak leadership” and “you don’t know who you’re electing with Harris”. I’m the safe choice since I’ve already been the Pres.

Like this is a huge win for Trump. He smashed Hilary, then he smashed Biden and you really think Harris will fair better? Like it’s some extreme copium.

Saying “he’s old, ha ha got you by your own standards” just makes you look foolish. Like you don’t have any positive points about Harris to make. Any real firepower against Trump. It’s actually cringe to think any Republican won’t just laugh you out of the room for that.

As a programmer, a smoker and coffee drinker, I can tell you that this technique actually works!

I got a message earlier today saying my subscription would now include ads. I immediately cancelled the subscription out of principle.

I know nothing about chess but I’d have said move the castle one right to put the king in check, then drive the pawns up to pressure it, or move the castle 1 left and pick off work through the two bishops.

Firstly, who the fuck are they?

Secondly, you have the money, why can’t you just be reasonable? Like it’s not enough to rich, and not work and be happy, travel the world without limits and without a care… you somehow need to hurt people. It’s awful.

UK

€565m and then €365m per year for all your immigration problems solved is a bargain. We up to tens of billions overspent on our problems.

I typed b I t c h and something changed it

Why does Biden just say “yeah he’s my removed boy”? It would completely undermine the image Trump and the Republicans build of themselves.

I’ve been on Reddit for 16 years and I’d say yes it’s very similar. Like Reddit back then it was very tech focused and quite liberal.

I do think people are a bit more vicious online these days than they used to be and a bit more polarised.

From a content perspective there used to be more blog content than tech news content, but it’s fairly similar. What I like about Lemmy is it’s far less commercial and the conversation is more genuine.

However I don’t think Lemmy will become Reddit in 15 years, I think it may languish in eternal obscurity and I’m actually okay with that.

Reddit exploded when Digg crumbled and the same could happen with Reddit crumbling but idk, there seems to be some stickiness to Internet websites these days.

Normally this sort of organisation is called a “not for profit”. It acts like a company in every respect but doesn’t do more than pay for its own use. Examples are semi-public services such as “Transport for London” etc. in terms of org or dot com, I think you can use either.

I think the name “context wrapper” is meaningful representation. To me, (and i emphasise the to me part) It’s something that wraps on type to add more information to it.

For instance a time type could be wrapped in timezone Monad. To stop time being manipulated without the context (time zone) being corrupt, we use map to only allow specific changes to instance inside the monad.

I wrote a little blog post on my interpretation if anyone’s interested: https://blog.philliptaylor.net/?post=monads-for-oo-programmers.md

I’d love to see it ported to Linux and for Spotify to release a fork of it again.

4 / 2 = 2.

I can go to Google and log in to free email. I can create word documents and spreadsheet in google docs. I can learn AI with Google projects. I can create unlimited private repos on GitHub, play lots of games on steam for free. I can download Winamp from old versions .com for free. I can get a Linux distro for nothing off servers. I can use a freevpn, watch YouTube for free.

Literally handing over game servers to an authorised community to run or supporting games forever actually is possible in the modern day.

If the EU is better than the UK, while travel from France in the first place?

Further proof they aren’t really asylum seekers but illegal economic migrants.

I recognise this page style as UK government.
