I have tailscale set up. I’m not gonna have my wife be using tailscale. And I’m also not going to be using tailscale all the time. I even have an exit node on my server.

Well I’m not gonna bother turning off any of the layers when I’m out and about. Like, my laptop still needs ublock when I’m not at home. And the vpn is just for certain use cases.

And yet the (modern) Olympics existed for decades without ads. You’ve been tricked into thinking they’re necessary. They are not. Life would exist just fine without them.

What if you have a multi layered ad blocking setup where you’re using ublock origin and pi.hole and a VPN with blocking?

I left my PC on 24/7 for almost 7 years because windows sleep just didn’t function correctly, so it would try to sleep, it would wake up the monitor, beep, then try to sleep over and over again. My LCD panel has no degradation, that’s over 60k hours. Yeah, I expect OLEDs have gotten better, but have they gotten that much better?

I switched to Linux and don’t have this problem anymore so now my monitor gets to sleep.

What deterioration for LCDs?

Yeah this title is terrible. They mean three models.

There’s not a rule, it’s just a “sounds correct”. Because English doesn’t have rules, it has exceptions.

Cambridge even uses the word “normally” lol. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/adjectives-order

And here’s a fun stackexchange link where people argue about the order (since there isn’t a rule, it’s all made up). https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/1155/what-is-the-rule-for-adjective-order

One good quote from that link:

@cori - the fascinating linguistic point is that native speakers will have subconsciously inferred a rule like this without it ever being stated. The “rule” is really an observation of what they do. All languages and dialects consist of such unconscious rules. – Nathan Long Commented Apr 16, 2013 at 15:25

Well they’re all “correct”. They just don’t sound right. Like saying “the red, big apple” instead of “the big, red apple”.

Who dat?

I was head mod on a big sub. Posts were getting removed from my sub by Reddit without my permission. It was Reddit doing it, not mods.

It was during the api blackout. I was a mod and I was literally seeing posts being removed by Reddit on my own sub.

Reddit removes (or at least did at one point) any lemmy links or posts trying to get people to switch to Lemmy.

2 seconds. The legs were sticking out and it made it pretty apparent to me.

Probably will be fine, avocado skin is very tough.

You should read the Python documentation for how many ways there are to set it up. It’s not easy. It might be easy for a pro, but for a beginner it will be a nightmare. Python’s own documentation is thousands of words long for how to get it running correctly, it’s the exact opposite of what you want for beginners. And no it’s most definitely not the most human readable. They call it Ruby Prose for a reason.

I’m not here to have a flame war over Python vs other stuff, but I’ve used both professionally for over a decade. Python is good at stuff, but being human readable by beginners and having good tooling are not even in its ballpark. It has syntax unlike any other modern language and its tooling is shite. https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2023/01/15/how-to-improve-python-packaging/

Java is much easier to set up than Python is. For one Java works with mise, asdf, sdkman and numerous other automatic tool managers. Python on the other hand works with none of those. I wouldn’t recommend either for being easy to set up. Ruby is much easier than both (including my favorite language, Kotlin) and has just as many nice features and is much easier to read than Python.

If only it were that easy. Like i said, my job for years was literally deploying scripts and software to a fleet of machines including Macs and windows laptops. Every single install would have something go wrong, every single time.

Absolutely do not use Python. It’s a nightmare to install on random computers and the majority of your time spent will be trying to get it working on everyone’s computer (that was my job at one point). As far as I remember, there isn’t a “good” C compiler that comes on windows and the one on Mac is missing some stuff.

I’d go with Ruby, it’s dead simple to install on every OS, easy to teach and learn, and doesn’t work differently across OSes. There’s an installer for it for windows and it comes installed by default on Mac (or it did? Maybe they stopped that).
