This is a great example of how America gets pinned for anything remotely “capitalist” just because of feelings. At least you looked this one up.

Personal data isn’t only used for ads. In this case a users watching history can be sold especially if it’s connected in some way to a demographic profile. There could be many more ways to monetize many other things the user does.

You just compared a browser extension and an init system that takes proc id 1. The unix philosophy is about what runs as processes at the system level.

I’m honestly not sure what you’re talking about here. The unix philosophy is something informal that applies to compiled utilities that run usually in a bin/ directory. The philosophy isn’t attempting to apply to all software that exists and certainly doesn’t intend to apply to browsers or browser extensions.

Really wonderful comment and very thought provoking. I think more people, myself included, should be thinking about what the transition away from capitalism looks like and not just banging on the drum that capitalism is all that is wrong. We need to be thinking about what steps 1 and 2 look like, not the last step which is way too difficult for anyone to properly see how to get there.

The article just says there were no barriers placed. There were no pictures but it mentions Snow Creek Lake in North carolina as the location if you want to map it on google.

The article doesn’t have pictures or mention why there were no barriers, which I think this person is asking.

Smoking does not permanently leave anything in your lungs. The lungs constantly self clean and I believe after 10 years, all damage from any amount of smoking is removed.

I think this is the most accurate and succinct explanation on the topic i’ve read

Uhhhh isn’t this pretty massive news? Or am I missing something?

mikegioia, 10 months ago

Thank you I think this might be the best way to go.

This has all just dramatically decreased my interest in the premier league. And really all of the top leagues and teams. Unfortunately I don’t live in a country that has an active lower league system so I can’t just go watch some local teams and join in that community. It’ll just mean I spend less and watch less more and more until I’m not anymore.

I don’t really know what the end result of golf will be but the few active fans in my family all seem to be liking things a lot more now. We will have to wait and see if that holds into the future but golf doesn’t have any other competing leagues really.

I don’t think I understand the question. What do you mean?

Well I remember being upset when FSG bought Liverpool and I had friends who were upset when Boehly and co bought Chelsea. People were upset when Messi went to the MLS too. I don’t really know what your point is.

This is from 2020 so there could be more but i cannot fathom owning close to 3500 domain names. that’s gotta be close to 100k per year just for the registration fees.

Fantastic news. Every major destination should commit to banning these monstrosities until they all disappear.

mikegioia, 11 months ago

Honestly curious, but do you have more info on this?

Hating on php is one of the reasons i left reddit. This is just people who don’t use php hating php for some reason. You can do dumb examples like this for any language. Low effort and funny for children.

mikegioia, 11 months ago

PHP gets a totally disproportionate share of hate and that is the problem. Children like to dunk on PHP and a group mentality pushes it even more.

mikegioia, 11 months ago

no clue what your point is.

mikegioia, 11 months ago

The title of this post is calling php a “meme” did you read that part? Then it just uses some stupid ternary example no one does and that other languages exhibit so what is the point other than purely hating on php?

mikegioia, 11 months ago

Ok I can add another group to my list then: bad php developers

mikegioia, 11 months ago

This entire thread is a tribal post that I had a problem with!! You don’t seem to understand this but I don’t care.

mikegioia, 11 months ago

Gotta block you. This is nothing I want any part of.

mikegioia, 11 months ago

There are reasons to dislike a language, but there are no reasons to hate a language, certainly not one that is as ubiquitous as PHP. There’s no argument you could make for why someone hates a programming language.

mikegioia, 11 months ago

You probably added 10 years to your life with that. Healthier years too.

I love those at the end how you can return to the risk levels of non smokers in really not that much time in the grand-scheme.

mikegioia, 11 months ago

Thank you so much! I’m going to try those first two today. Appreciate it!

The analogies in this were really good and honestly really accurately describe threads enough for me. What a strange place that is, the captions on the screenshots killed me.

mikegioia, 11 months ago

I completely agree with you, I lost my original yahoo account right around that time and i think about it pretty regularly, i just want to see what was in there one more time.

I can’t believe the progress they’re all making
