For me, the defining characteristic of leftism is trying to achieve social equality through redistribution of wealth and power from those who have plenty to those who don’t have enough.
Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
Air crash reconstruction using flight simulator. No fluff, no unnecessary dramatization, no bullshit. Has been going due years and years with the exact same formula.
Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than MH27 MH17
His advice is great for newer programmers. They are taken literally by newer programmers, but the goal is not to force the dogma onto everyone. Maybe that should be more clear before the new people make a fool of themselves. They’ll learn why or how to apply these rules once they get more experience.
I know the episode you’re referring to and the important part is to realize you can use functions names/signatures to convey and structure information about your code, not just as a way to reuse code. This is often misunderstood by newer programmers, self-taught programmers. Your code should be easy to understand so it’s up to us to make it well structured. Functions aren’t only to avoid duplicate code
Back when they implemented Real ID and forced people to provide real namr and identification for playing the games they paid for, these motherfuckers locked me out of my account for account sharing because someone logged in from another country. That was me, logging in for my lunch break at work, about 1 hour away from home. They demanded I not only gave them my real name, but even send a copy of my passport to them by email. Obviously I refused. I had the original box and the game code, but they didn’t care. There were no other fraud indicators. Just me logging in from work and using a pseudonym. I never got any of my games back. Fuck them
In 2007, Canada started requiring all vehicles to have a cheap, effective anti-theft device. The U.S. didn't. Now, it is paying the price with a surge in Kia and Hyundai thefts.
Capitalism forces companies to do the profitable thing, not the right thing. So let’s abolish capitalism first and then we’ll discuss how people who make cars should do the right thing
alt textIt’s hard to imagine a more extraordinary claim than that some hidden intelligence created a universe of more than a hundred billion galaxies, each containing more than a hundred billion stars, and then waited more than 13.7 billion years until a planet in a remote corner of a single galaxy evolved an atmosphere...
Exactly. “That’s not trauma, stop whining” doesn’t help anyone and you have no fucking idea how it affects someone. “Suck it up” is such fucking boomer bullshit
This is covered in the beginning of this ethics lecture series (at 1:50). Ethics is about expressing your personal values in how you exist in the world, whereas morality is about being in harmony with society.
Please watch this ethics professor, because I’m just a guy on the internet. The whole channel is worth a watch if you’re interested in philosophy.

One thing you should do no matter what, is keep your fridge full. Every time you open the door, the cool air gets replaced by warmer air from outside. If there is more air in your fridge, your fridge is less efficient. You can always fill more space with items such as beer.
We must do both. I don’t see why people keep claiming they are mutually exclusive. Let’s build nuclear. Let’s build wind, solar, hydro. We should protest increases in fossil fuels, but it’s irrelevant specifically what green energy people are betting on to replace it

You do understand why. What you said is exactly why. They are manufacturing a danger so that they are legally allowed to use lethal force against anyone for any small crime. All the police do in the USA is escalate, escalate, escalate
This community is for photography and interesting images. This isn’t the place for shitposts about trump overshadowing quality posts. There’s already 10 other communities people can go to for that....
Another way to look at this: I’d rather allow some junk posts than be strict and without much content. Let Lemmy grow before the communities become very specific and strict.

Yes and no. Victims aren’t always free to speak their minds. She said she didn’t mind but this is regarded as a preservation tactic due to a sexist environment.
I’m sorry, the quote correct is this. So she’s not saying she didn’t mind, but more like ‘let’s move on’, which is a similar downplaying of what happened. The point was that her opinion isn’t all-important, because she has an interest in keeping her career.
The president and I have a great relationship, his behaviour with all of us has been outstanding and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude.
A gesture of friendship and gratitude cannot be gone over so much, we have won a World Cup and we are not going to deviate from what is important.
Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

Straight from the book “how to make a boring scene more interesting without fixing the underlying scene layout problem that gave you the boring scene in the first place”.
This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole...
Don’t care, tbh. I would prefer if people would be less uptight on these things. Let people have Lemmy and Discord, if they want. They’ll get there, if we stop being dicks to people who are still finding out.
That doesn’t mean this case is no big deal. Poor woman.
I do agree that the large amount is silly because the guy is probably not a billionaire. Hopefully they will increase punishments for corporations and rich people-- oh wait, they won’t. That’s fucked up, but not related to this case
