As far as I can tell from a quick search it seems like it’s closed source.

sigh The search continues, why can’t I just have folders in the app drawer in lawnchair :(

Edit: according to a closed issue on the lawnchair GitHub, app drawer folders have already been in nightly builds for ~6 months, so hopefully it’s in the next beta release.

Is it bad that I already knew what this would print the moment I read the meme?

This better be tail call optimized

Random people who just want to get into a position of power don’t pass.

Not sure about rural towns but I’m pretty sure this is the case in most cities/big towns in the US as well. It’s just that police training in the US tends to systemically filter decent human beings out of its system. Not exactly random, more like maximally bad by design 🙃

I wouldn’t be surprised if my town was the exception and not the norm (I’m from a relatively progressive town in a consistently blue state) but at my public high school I only knew of 1-2 people out of the 500 people in my grade that stood up during the pledge of allegiance and a good percentage of the grade hated them because they were high key homophobic.

Doesn’t W3C already maintain the ActivityPub protocol?

Edit: nevermind I misunderstood this

Am I the only one who sees this as a sloth instead of a helmet?

Yes? Ok maybe I’m going crazy

This has to be bait… I refuse to believe someone would see this meme and think it’s trying to say that people are literally being stabbed.

From the article

The first five implants took place last year in the US and all received donor hearts before being discharged from hospital, with the longest time in between implant and transplant 27 days.

Seems like the initial trials are using it as a temporary measure until a donor heart can be transplanted

Obligatory “I’m a cis man” but this scenario is most of my extended family right now, with the lucky exceptions of my parents, siblings, and grandparents. I’m pretty sure they’ve all said this exact line multiple times.

Probably performance - the Java server takes up a lot of memory and CPU for what it does. The base implementation first started in 2011, so it wasn’t exactly designed to be multithreaded or parallelized because most games were still largely single-threaded at the time. Rewriting it from scratch in a different language probably helps with that

Chat are we cooked?

The 3 worst ones that immediately came to my head were Kingsley Shacklebolt (he’s Black), Cho Chang (she’s East Asian), and the Patil twins (they’re Indian). I’m sure there are others that are just as bad though, alongside the numerous other stereotypes in the stories (the house elves, the goblins, etc.).

I read those books as a child and then a few years ago I rewatched some of the movies and realized how awful the subliminal messaging is.

Reaching a middle ground on an Internet discussion? No, it can’t be. There must be something wrong here. I need to keep arguing about minor things like daily routines. Why else would I be here?

/s if it wasn’t obvious. This thread makes me happy, have a good day :)

Obviously, it’s a silly semantic debate, and someone could equally judge me for wanting my coffee beans roasted and ground “why not eat the berries fresh if you say you love coffee‽”.

My point is that it would be silly to judge someone for this, just like it’s silly to judge someone for putting creamer in coffee.

Edit: also, what about drinks like mochas, cappuccinos, macchiatos, etc. which also have other ingredients mixed in? Generally it’s still fine to call those forms of coffee, no?

Random side note: I’ve had chocolate-dipped espresso beans before and they’re actually a pretty good snack. You just can’t eat too many of them because of the caffeine content.

I think the idea is that you can eventually get an approximation of whatever wave-like curve you want by merging several pure sin/cos functions with varying amplitudes, wavelengths, and offsets

Fun fact: this is mostly how JPEG works - it uses fourier transforms to approximate an image in a way that takes up much less storage than storing information about each pixel.

Yeah that’s still gatekeeping though. Coffee is coffee regardless of what you put in it. Even if it’s gross according to my own individual taste, it’s still coffee. Saying anything else is just “better-than-you” gatekeeping.

Edit: it’s also nothing like your example at all, because coffee with creamer is still literally made with real coffee, while an apple jacks pop tart is almost definitely not made with real apples.

Imagine gatekeeping caffeine

The problem is that we only have a finite amount of energy. If all of our clean energy output is going toward AI then yeah it’s clean but it means we have to use other less clean sources of energy for things that are objectively more important than AI - powering homes, food production, hospitals, etc.

Even “clean” energy still has downsides to the environment also like noise pollution (impacts local wildlife), taking up large amounts of space (deforestation), using up large amounts of water for cooling, or having emissions that aren’t greenhouse gases, etc. Ultimately we’re still using unfathomably large amounts of energy to train and use a corporate chatbot trained on all our personal data, and that energy use still has consequences even if it’s “clean”

Signal is private in that other people can’t intercept your messages, including signal. The signal app is open-source so you can be relatively certain it’s not tracking your decrypted messages, unlike closed-source apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger or any other private social media.

Signal is not anonymous from an account standpoint, because you need a phone number to sign up, even if you can choose not to display it in your account.
