There was someone a while ago who was trying to get a web ring going for like nerd stuff. They said so many of their friends and people they talked to loved the idea, but no one made a site of their own.
I posted it in a local community group, and everyone said the same thing.
I thought about getting one but then I got laid off from my good paying job. Then they made it expensive with expensive games. So, no.
If capital wants us to spend money they need to pay us more first.
Most of the people don’t want to be convinced. They come adamant that they won’t change their opinion
I link this comic a lot but I think it’s often relevant: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe
Basically, people don’t believe things or accept facts that conflict with their emotions.
I don’t know. A coworker years ago said to me “you have to make what you want people to do the easy thing”, and I think he was right. But someone still has to do work. Back then, it was me changing the deploy script to automatically run tests and open the report so people had to go out of their way to skip all that.
I’m not sure what that looks like for the fediverse. Linking them directly? Some sort of “sign up with Google” SSO mechanism? Just make the account for your friend and give it to them?
Ideally we’d go up one level and address why people are so mentally depleted they can’t handle a sign up form.
Yeah, that could be some of it. We can’t all be perfect all the time. It’s impossible.
I’d appreciate more honest appraisals, though. “I know Twitter is garbage run by a Nazi, but I got linked to it and scrolled a bit” is far better than “well other people are worse so who cares”. There’s this childish whataboutism that a lot of people bring out to justify their poor behavior.
People don’t really care about anything other than convenience. Twitter could be grinding up puppies live on camera and most people would just shrug and be like “well the good memes are here”.
Personally I think that’s downstream from how we’re all too polite about shit like this. We just smile and change the topic instead of doing the intensely uncomfortable “You really shouldn’t use twitter” conversation. But also we’re all too… childish, I guess, because most people if someone says that will not respond with “You make a good point and I will change in accordance,” but rather with “Fuck you for saying things that make me feel bad. You suck. I’m not listening to anything you say.”
So I guess we’re fucked because people are immature, fragile, little shits.
Technically correct , the best kind of correct.
foo.lower() would have been a better example.
Yeah, if you initialize them to None then for the entire rest of the class you’re going to have to account for the possibility that they’re None. If it’s unavoidable that they might be None, you should type it as such.
If you type them as like str | None then later when you do like return foo[0] it will warn you that you can’t do that with None.
That seems like that’s going to give you an error in most type checkers. You said it’s always an int and then immediate made that a lie and made it None instead.
Why are you trying to do this?
Only the Democratic Party and Iran scored more negatively than AI,
The Democrats. The Republicans hate them and the Democrats hate them. What a colossal, world ending, disappointment
I want all the AI slop adopters to suffer and be ruined.
I haven’t found a good alternative for getting better at French or learning Spanish from scratch, but I haven’t tried very hard. Maybe I should replay expedition 33 in French…
Break up Google, Facebook, and the other big platforms that let disinformation run rampant.
Hold decision makers at those organizations personally accountable.
