It’s still pretty scary though. The far right wasn’t usually this close to the top. It’s like whole political center has been obliterated. Which, to be fair, is something they kinda caused themselves. People have lost trust in the government and are more and more just putting their faith in populists. I’m happy we’re at least somewhat matching that with a progressive/left/green vote, but still, scary times.
I’m not so sure that the laypeople will, but I do expect a shift. Personally I’m still running Windows 10 next to Linux currently. Most of my time is still spent on Windows, because it’s generally a bit more stable and hassle free due to the Windows monopoly. Software is written for Windows, so sadly it’s usually just a better experience.
But so many things I read about Win 11 (and beyond) piss me off. It’s my computer, I don’t want them to decide things for me or farm my data. I’m mentally preparing for the transition to Linux-only. 90% of the software I use will work out of the box, and I think with some effort I can get like 8% of the rest to work. It’ll be a lot of effort, but Micro$oft has pushed so far that I’m really starting to consider.
Multiple friends and colleagues (all programmers) I spoke are feeling the same way. I think Linux may double in full-time desktop users in a few years of this goes on.
Maybe you should learn how to hold a normal discussion without attacking the other party. Cursing and telling the other party to fuck off just because they disagree with you will not convinced anyone of anything and will only make you look bad. It’s not like the person you’re responding to is advocating for school shootings or anything else immoral.
Haribo is nice, but if I’d allow myself to eat candy again I’d devour bags full of salty/salmiac licorice before going for the sweets again.
Hmmm, then we have different experiences I guess. A lot of people that I know (friends, family, etc) who used to regularly eat sweets all quit almost 100%. More than fat or processed foods I always hear people talking about reducing sugar/carbs. But that’s probably just anecdotal. Still it’s surprising to me that they need to produce more, not less, given that people seem to be watching what they eat way more than 10 years ago.
Damn. I would’ve expected candy demand to be on a downhill trend, as people seem more and more focused on eating more healthy. I probably live in a bit of a bubble then…
So they’re just gonna cry that the EU is the cause of all of our problems. It’s Wilders, he always needs someone else to blame. I’m afraid that he’ll try to convince a substantial part of Dutch society that “we need to take back control” from Brussels just like they did in the UK. A lot of people don’t like nuance and complexity, they just want a silver bullet and people like the PVV and BBB promise them that. Let’s pray that NSC and the VVD (lol) have some integrity.
Kinda makes sense though. I’d expect images where it’s actually labelled as “an Indian person” to actually over represent people wearing this kind of clothing. An image of an Indian person doing something mundane in more generic clothing is probably more often than not going to be labelled as “a person doing X” rather than “An Indian person doing X”. Not sure why these authors are so surprised by this
True. Guess I misread. I’ve already switched to 36 hours and I totally aim to go lower once I earn more. Work to live, not live to work
Haha, when I heard about it I was expecting as much. It’d be pretty impressive if it went smoothly with the amount of testing they seemed to have done. Still an interesting project, curious how it’ll evolve.
Disagree. I used to spend time on more energy-intensive hobbies like programming and music production. But I’ve had mono and COVID in 2020 and I’ve never felt the same thereafter. Also working 40 hours a week drains a lot of energy
Yeah sports were my first attempt to solve it. I’m running twice a week usually and have done a few half marathons now. It’s helped a bit, but my energy is still not amazing. It’s probably related to having issues with mono and COVID in 2020, I’ve never been the same since then. Working 40 hours per week didn’t help either.
I’m supposed to have energy as an adult?! I have way more time than energy. Most of that time is spent doing useless shit like watching YouTube because I’m too exhausted to do anything useful
Man pages save me an online search multiple times per week. Not sure that you’re no about
Yuppers. I need CUDA for my machine learning projects, both for hobby and professionally. I considered AMD and their alternative at the time, but it wasn’t supported on their consumer cards back then, and I also didn’t fully trust their commitment. It’s getting better though, so hopefully AMD can convince me for my next GPU in a few years.
Me after I spent a whole evening being unable to boot into grub after trying to get Wayland to work. Wayland will have to wait for a bit longer…
When I was a student I never understood how something like this could happen. “Just rewrite it” I thought, how hard can that be. But working in a corporate environment I now totally understand it. Everything you write will at some point become part of code that, to the fast majority of colleagues, will just be a black box that they’ve never touched and don’t intend to. Despite my urge to test and document everything, I’ve already more than once complained about my own code, only realizing later that I wrote it myself. Often you can still find out what it does, but the “why” gets lost and because of that people are afraid to change it.
Do people really constantly copy-paste code? If I don’t know something I’ll look it up, but then I’ll read the answer and apply it to the code I’m writing rather than copying it directly. I rarely see a piece of code that I can copy over directly into what I’m doing, and even if I can it’s usually not thr best idea because the naming etc would be inconsistent
This doesn’t change that much. They’re still forming a cabinet, it’s just a different construction. The prime minister doesn’t have any extra power or anything, his party is still the same size and will still have the same influence
Not a fan. I totally understand the need for climate protests, we’re way too slow. And I also het that you’re not gonna get headlines with a small protest somewhere. But why not disrupt things that are actually polluting, instead of throwing soup or paint at works of art. You’ll also make enemies by blocking a major road or something, but at least it makes some sense.
