Pffft. You just aren’t a Nix enjoyer yet.

This is about as useful as the assholes going “It’s not Pedophilia, it’s Hebephilia!”.

I haven’t seen a “37” in an analog clock.

There’s a 7, there’s 8, and there are four spaces (which may or may not be marked) in between them.

??? There’s also no 40 on a clock. And what, are you only able to read a clock to an accuracy of 5 minutes…?

analog clocks all my life—which, again, is not something that should be assumed nowadays

bullshit. Everyone knows how to read them, and they are everywhere.

I was told to “count by fives”. Hence: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 00.

Now, when we were taught the multiplication table for 5 (maybe it’s just my teacher) we revisited how to read off minutes from the clock (digital displays are still rare back then).

I guess we just had different lessons.

And if it’s pointed to 37, a prime number? Do you have to have your tables memorized up to 37x37 to be able to read that?

It’s knowing how to count, at best. But out of curiosity, do you really go “long pointer at 8, 8x5=40” internally when reading the clock?

I’d imagine most people would just go “40”.

Case in point: in school, we learned how to read a clock before we learned anything at all about multiplication.

What, and I mean this in all sincerity, the fuck?

Sorry, but: where in that is multiplication involved?

I just started working at a new place, and my closest coworker has my deadname. Threw me for like half a second, but hasn’t been an issue at all otherwise.

Bonjour from the German/Belgian border!

I live right at the German border, but not in Germany. I am German. I’d shrug, since by your rules I remain German.

Right? These companies act like they are selling food and we are stealing it.

In reality, they put a big “free beer” sign up, we go and happily accept the beer, and then they act outraged that we refuse when they try to piss in the mug after handing it to us.

Yeah. I don’t have a contract with the site, agreeing to pay them in any way, shape or form. They voluntarily show me their content, but that does not obligate me to also accept their ads.

Yes, in supported apps / protocols. Koreader, for example, should have 2-way sync for eBooks, and Mihon has 2-way sync for Manga.

+1 for kavita. It also has a nice webreader ui.

Using a docker container provides you with the exact amount of extra protection as using a VM: zilch.

Only advantage is you can use other people’s config easily.

• signed, someone happily using their own VM-based setup

• LLMs are a complete dead end when it comes to actual intelligence, understanding, or sentience
• constant fearmongering from decades of media makes you afraid of sentient AI. I think it’s important to recognize that. I’m willing to bet that if people would have grown up with, say, Iain Banks’ Culture instead of Terminator, the idea of sentient AI would be exciting. (Not a value judgement, just pointing it out.)

Well… In my case it would be “calculate how much loss you’ve been making by growing your own veggies!”, lol.

(Container gardening and watering add up, but I am not complaining, I am not doing this to save/earn money)

I was SO confused until I checked the community.

Thought this was about literal, real-world vegatable gardens as a hobby.

… are entirely possible, even if rarely the right choice.

Or a CLI with clap.

Curious what you are talking about. Multi-threaded sharing of memory for example is also easy with rust, it just doesn’t let you wrote and read at the same time, and so on.

Yeah. Once you get used to the (verbose, but by no means unergonomic!) syntax, you’ll probably never be happy with another language again. Job-wise, I am currently mostly using Go, and while also a nice language, I miss the confidence and security I took for granted with rust.

Not to mention just how goddamn expressive rust can be. Let bindings like if ok/err, else return? Assign from a match on Some(Ok(x))? Filter, map, and friends on any iterator? Oh my GOD the error handling with the question mark iterator? 100% confidence that if it compiles, no error, possible null value, or case is unhandled.

And all this WHILE giving you the amazing security benefits!

Ah, damn, caught me proselytizing again.
