Yeah the headline is stupid bait.

They already built it. They’re trying to contribute the change upstream.

Which is technically “requesting higher core support”, but is a very obnoxious way to phrase it.

Yeah, considering how in-your-face this popup was, I can’t really take someone seriously when they just say that it was “opt-out”…

Like, I get it on a technicality. But c’mon.

Fully agreed, hence the “most” :^)

I very rarely care for what most 62 year olds have to say about the capabilities about the theoretical limits of computation.

This isn’t much different.

Depending on whether this code is in a hotpath (and considering how “elementary” it is, I figure that’s a possibility), this could very well be a significant speed improvement.

Though I’d say that only excuses it if it’s truly an elementary function (and not one line as part of a larger function), as otherwise it’s unreadable garbage. But on its own it:

• has a clear purpose
• (presumably) isn’t reimplementing functionality
• is easily tested
• can be modified with no side effects (besides breaking your calendar, but that’s beside the point)

This honestly a very well-written article

I think said lonely people would rather chat with a boring therapist than with assholes on the internet who don’t even make the slightest attempt to empathize

Unfortunately if you let Junior play in legacy code once, it’ll learn some nasty habits and make more of it from scratch, usually when you’re trying to sleep.

I’d love to know where that setting is. As far as I’ve been able to see, I’d have to rebuild mastodon myself to be able to do that, and that’s just less convenient for me than pulling the default docker images

Joke’s on you, the stuff that my college tried to teach me was obsolete a decade before I was even born thanks to tenured professors who never updated their curriculum. Thank fuck I live in the Internet age.

As someone of color (Indian) who is often mistaken as being foreign/religious until they hear my accent…

I feel the other commenters here are missing the mark. This isn’t about fixing them, or learning to “accept them as they are”: bigots should never be tolerated.

Which is to say, your reasons for being “bigoted” towards the bigots isn’t a matter of prejudice: you’ve extrapolated a pattern.

But you don’t want to apply this pattern unfairly to people you haven’t met, because that’d make you bigoted as well.

Well, I have good news for you: you aren’t at any risk for that. Real bigots don’t think they’re bigots. People with prejudices don’t consider their judgement unsound. They think they’re the most unbiased, reasonable people in the world, and often try to push their opinions on others with violence, whether it’s verbal, social, or physical.

By simply acknowledging internally that you have thoughts that you consider unideal, and unfair, you’ve done a thousand times more self-reflecting, and have more capacity for self-correcting, than someone like my parents would.

Don’t try to beat the bad thoughts out of yourself. Acknowledge them, and pledge to act better than they’d have you.

M8, this ain’t Stack Overflow…

I fucking hate the whiny answer of “but my/most existing headphones had an aux so I don’t like USB-C.”

The biggest factor for me is that it simply makes it impossible to charge your phone and use wired headphones at the same time without a special splitter adaptor… Which itself is impossible to roll up with your headphones.

It’s designed to be such an inconvenience to the point that you’re actually just incentivized to buy wireless headphones. And since it was Apple, that of course meant their very expensive Airpods.

That said, I happily use wireless Bose headphones now anyway, but I did have to ditch my audio technicas for that reason.
