That’s a step in the right direction, but ultimately, the best solution would be an imperative mandate. I have no idea how we’ve let ourselves get gaslit that free mandates (once someone is elected they can do what they want, regardless of voter intention) is somehow more democratic than imperative mandates.
Dwarf planets sometimes have moons (e.g. Pluto)
I’d think a wheelbarrow or hand-drawn cart would still be useful, but I see your point
Chiquita can rot in hell
I think the problem lies with the definition of consent more than with the definition of suffering. If the alternative is something worse, then that’s not consent. That’s coercion.
Now, whether it’s still appropriate to still call it suffering when applied to someone enthusiastically consenting, I’m not sure.

Fair enough. I just thought it had become pretty ubiquitous in the desktop ecosystem, just because HDMI licencing fees are egregious
Every single monitor I’ve seen that’s built in the last 8ish years has at least one. All modern graphics cards do too. Are you sure you’ve not seen them?
Network effect. It’s been hard enough to get friends and family to move away from Whatsapp, it’s going to be a while till I get them away from telegram as well
Some programming languages are indeed cursed (e.g. JavaScript). But for the most part I agree, it’s what people do with it. But what’s cursed with python is what idioms have become common place.
that is so cursed
And I say that as someone who learnt python as her first language (to be proficient in):
holy shit is this language stupid
That is a lie on part of the ESC, it’s been documented and until recently was still up on their website that they booted Russia because it invaded Ukraine. When asked why Israel was allowed to participate in 2024, they came up with this explanation and changed their story re: Russia.
Not sure why they show it like that, it might be a design choice. Where I live, it’s often put as decimals, with the last digit smaller than the others:
9/10 of a cent
Stop calling everyone a “skeptic” and call them what they are: deniers. Anti-science, fact resistant deniers. Calling people germ-theory skeptics, or climate skeptics, or vaccine skeptics, and so on and so on, makes it sound like there’s an honest scientific debate going on
Both are good and effective
Look at the perspective near his hands, either it’s the most crooked console ever or it’s AI
The borrow checker makes things a bit more complicated to get running, definitely takes some getting used to when you come from a non-memory safe language. But the compiler is really helpful throughout almost all mistakes, often directly providing an explanation and a suggested fix. One of my favorites programming experiences so far
