The tooltip for fedipact says: “Agreed to block all communications (their blocklist is private)”

To me that says, they’ve agreed but it’s not confirmed that they’ve gone through with it because the blocklist is private. Blocked on the other hand says “All communications are blocked”

It’s a fork bomb. It exponentially forks processes in the background in an attempt to consume all CPU cycles.

Your spoiler tag works fine on the web client. That is the supported way to do spoilers on Lemmy. However, Sync, if you use that doesn’t support Lemmy spoilers and only supports reddit spoilers. Unfortunately no matter what spoiler method you use, it will not work for someone, somewhere. There is no unified spoiler markup across the fediverse, but there really should be.

I saw this getting traction on Tik Tok a few days ago warning rightsholders they have until, I think, Mar 5th to pull their content from the platform.

In every dev job I’ve ever held it’s been me or one of the other devs doing demos (usually me though). Granted I haven’t worked on anything truly high profile that a demo would be An Event.

It’s shitty for sure, and I definitely think Chrome needs to die, or at least have better competition. Sadly, not enough users are using non-chromium browsers, that they don’t see a problem with using chrome only features. It sucks, and it’s going to lead (is leading) to the further enshitification of the web. I’m doing my part by using Firefox, and any web application I develop is guaranteed to work in Firefox.

They won’t answer, because they can’t answer.

For me, I’ve noticed a few websites that complain that firefox “is an out of date browser, you should use something more modern”. My bank’s website does that, but still works fine as far as I’ve been able to tell.

But what, practically, is the difference? If more and more websites use shit that only works in Chrome or Chromium based browsers, the effect is the same. The web doesn’t work as well for Firefox users.

Yeah the surprise in this thread is surprising to me. I’ve considered Opera to be untrustworthy for years now.

Bloody Mary.

Sadly lots of features are not working on kbin, or less specifically various services in the fediverse. One example is spoilers. Last I checked there is no consistent spoiler syntax that works across the fediverse, and so spoilers are dangerous territory. Hell, even some apps don’t handle spoilers appropriately just for Lemmy.

So an O’Neil cylinder exploits rotation to simulate gravity. When set up properly it feels just like gravity we’re used to here on earth. That should at least help curb the effects of microgravity. Radiation shouldn’t be much of a problem as people would be living on the inside of the cylinder with meters of material between them and outer space.

Strange, I just tried and got the vi suggestion. And, googling vi gave me an emacs suggestion. So shade all around!

That’s really only native compiled languages. Many popular languages, such as C#, Java, etc. Lie somewhere in between. They get compiled to intermediary byte code and only go native as the very final step when running. They run in a runtime environment that handles that final step to execute the code natively. For .NET languages that’s the CLR (Common Language Runtime).

For .Net the process goes like this:

• You write the code
• Code is compiled to MSIL
• At runtime when the MSIL is executing a JIT (just-in-time) compiler translates the MSIL into native code.
• The native code is executed.

Java has a similar process that runs on the JVM. This includes many, many languages that run on the JVM.

JavaScript in the browser goes through a similar process these days without the intermediary byte code. Correction, JS in modern browsers also follow this process almost exactly. a JIT compiler compiles to bytecode which is then executed by the browser’s JS engine. Historically JS has been entirely interpreted but that’s no longer the case. Pure interpreted languages are pretty few and far between. Most we think of as interpreted are actually compiled, but transparently as far as the dev is concerned.

Last, but certainly not least, Python is also a compiled language, it’s just usually transparent to the developer. When you execute a python program, the python compiler also produces an intermediary bytecode that is then executed by the python runtime.

All that being said, I welcome any corrections or clarifications to what I’ve written.
