Depends on the programming language

POV: Auto correct turned itself off

That’s insanely dumb

I love how well the PolyMC -> PrismLauncher transition went. It’s great that the asshole owning it didn’t just spew transphobic hate, but also removed the contribution rights to all other people, leading them to immediately flock to an alternative.

The Supreme Court is upholding the rule of law. If Musk refuses to take action on the massive propaganda and disinformation campaigns that are rampant on his platform and lead to a fascist (like a literal fascist who praised the military dictatorship and openly said it’s only mistake was not to torture enough) getting elected, banning it shows that the democracy is still defensive and able to protect itself.

We can’t let tech monopolies just ignore any democratic rule and do whatever they want.

They already got forced in the EU

Yes, but not for indentation (which is obviously what I meant)

It isn’t, there are curly braces. It’s TypeScript.

This is awesome. But one question as I’m not so familiar with emacs: Why do they punish someone when trying to use emacs but not vi? Why do you see emacs as something works?

This false horseshoe is so dumb. Although Melanchon has some problems, especially his views on Ukraine and Russia :/

As a Rustacean, I’d rather use C than C++ for a small project.

Wait, Facebook did the same nonsense as well?

I really like the efforts to help against these horrible fat right policies and showing the double standards. But calling yourself a satanist when you actually don’t worship satan is just lame.

IntelliJ at least has a good open source version and it’s free for students

Neither are you on TikTok, unless you actively go looking for it

That’s just genuine nonsense. The whole point of platforms like TikTok are the modern recommender systems that (simplified) lead to algorithmic radicalisation. Because these systems heavily optimise towards user engagement, they naturally spread misinformation and controversial content.
And because this kind of content statistically gets more user engagement as people commend on it and spend more time with it, it spreads quicker. This has also e.g. been confirmed by a leaked internal Facebook memo.

And additionally, these systems are personalised, so when you start to interact with it, you get more and more similar content. This leads to a radicalisation pipeline in which the platforms normalises these positions in echo chambers to you.

I don’t get your point. I’m against tech monopolies and I hate Google. I want Facebook to be split up and think that the current tech companies are way to powerful, see this video by Last Week Tonight. I use duckduckgo and try to avoid google services.

Don’t pretend to be doing any of this for any kind of moral high ground when you can’t even be bothered to look into something before arguing for it.

Lmao. How would you get the thought I wouldn’t have “looked into this”. That sounds like antivax level of arguments.

Everything you said is basically wrong.

And this gives me the feeling I’m much better informed than you tbh.
Because no, what I wrote is factually correct, read for example this, this or this or just so many more articles, outlining detailed how TikTok censors content made by minorities, talking about the Uighur camps or so much more.

I feel like you can’t grasp the thought that someone knows how bad many tech companies are and still can see that content behind TikTok is at least as terrible. And what I’m writing isn’t any more boomer-like than what you write, you even use the same talking points but are just ignoring any of TikTok’s flaws.

Am I a Reddit boomer when I’m 21 and like (some) Tiktok-esque kind of content?

I’ve never used TikTok, but not because I don’t get the idea of using audio as meme template or because I don’t like short videos. But just because that specific platform itself is so vile.
Not just talking about funding the Chinese government, TikTok e.g. reduces reach of neurodivergent people. Even worse, it censors information against China‘s authoritarianism and much more.

Why can’t I be happy that this awful platform loses reach? The content itself will be kept, there are enough copycats.

Also, Lemmy is full of people that stopped using Reddit for ethical reasons. So it’s not surprising many are against TikTok as well tbh.

I see; I’ve seen quite some memes about swear words in code, therefore I thought about that. But makes sense, thanks. (I can’t relate to that either though.)

Personally unrelatable. I assume this is different in industry code but in both personal and open source projects I’ve never seen or used anything like that.

(And I’m really not against iNaPpRoPriAtE words; I think they’re not something bad to use and I often find it ridiculous how they’re frowned upon in US culture, e.g. movie ratings. But I still want to keep my code neutral / professional.)

I looked at Whiskey but as far as I can see, that’s just… a Wine wrapper and not related to Proton.
I mean I appreciate the comment, thanks, but I have Wine installed via Homebrew and it works without any real problems.
