.loc and .iloc queries are a fun syntax adventure every time

bump up the id of old posts every time there’s a new post

That’s probably the worst thing I’ve read today, it’s such a bad thing to do on so many levels wtf

It’s just premusk twitter at this point.

I mean, given that Jack Dorsey founded it as basically the “not Twitter Twitter” after musk bought the main one, I don’t think it’s surprising to see it face basically the same moderation issues in the name of being “even-handed”

I guess you could consider someone who is staunchly whitehat with no exceptions to have a creed/code, where they consider the rules transcendent of any specific situation (e.g. nazi websites).

That’s generally true under the paradigm of profit maximization unless you reach some sort of insane tech breakthrough, which deepseek seems to have accomplished

Oh my bad. According to another commenter it is sandboxed though

This is one of the reasons my main email is a (unique) password I still memorize, so if my password manager fails catastrophically I can still get in.

They have Google services but through a third party wrapper called MicroG, which keeps it sandboxed to a degree that you can keep it from doing system-level actions like this

edit: not microG, as evidenced by the strikethrough I put in very soon after receiving the first of several replies clarifying the situation. I would encourage you to read one of them before adding your own. <3

Well, no.

In scenario A they are instantly vaporized. In scenario B they are brutally sliced into multiple pieces and crushed to death, rather painfully depending on the speed of the trolley.

You are on track A and the bomb is within sight. If you get the shit end of the 50/50, everyone in the diagram would be vaporized instantly

That doesn’t fix the out-of-the-box experience of the platform for millions, if not billions of people. Yes it’s a good step to take individually, but insufficient to deal with the broader issue raised of latent alt-right propagandizing

Haha nice one that’s so based and kekpilled my duderino

AI audio with AI-generated captions, visuals, and accompanying text descriptions. It’s almost like there’s no actual grassroots support for a tax dodging tech bro.

Cool

Desktop OSes, my bad.

iOS is still much worse than Android in terms of “walled garden” practices but Google has been slowly inching over that way, what with the recent crackdown on sideloading apps.

While the main quote I can find is like 6 years old at this point, Tim Sweeney directly compared Linux to a US citizen moving to Canada when they don’t like the political landscape. I’m sure his opinions have become more nuanced since then, but it’s still imo just needlessly antagonistic.

In that regard I think both Epic and Valve are trying to advance the industry in different ways: Steam trying to break PC gaming from Windows, and the EGS trying to free up restrictive mobile app store policies. We really should be able to directly buy and play mobile games from whatever storefront we choose, not being limited to Google Play or the App Store.

Since Valve and Epic are both for-profit companies, the advancements are largely for profit’s sake of course. I agree that we should take wins where we can secure them, but always be vigilant for how a company might turn the tables once they have the upper hand and try to mitigate that. We’ve seen the same anti-consumer practices happen many times over in the PC hardware market, such as with AMD v Intel or AMD v Nvidia, where a given company pushes for an open standard only when they are the underdog.

I wouldn’t dislike Tim Sweeney so much if he didn’t write off Linux so much.

He’s diehard on primarily having the Epic Games Store support Windows, which is ironically the most monopolistic and anti-consumer OS right now.

(minor edit to acknowledge Windows isn’t the only platform since the EGS is also available on Mac)

Absolutely! There are several factors one might use to determine their favorite brand of motor oil. These include:

• The reliability of products manufactured by the brand.
• Whether the brand makes a specific type of motor oil the customer regularly needs, such as an unconventional weight which is not commonly available.
• Whether the brand of motor oil is recommended by the customer’s friends and family.
• Advice the customer is able to determine after seeking advice on the Internet, especially on sites such as Reddit, which are widely trusted as a source of user-generated information on such topics.
• Putting all of the brands into a list, then selecting one at random to determine the customer’s new favorite brand.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with!

Financial stress, no, but there can absolutely be other stressors that come with such a job or make it otherwise difficult, especially if one cares about the quality of their work and the lives of their patients. Doubly-so if insurance companies seem to be actively hampering those efforts and make one feel more like a cog in a profit machine than an expert in one’s field.

Just ask them to answer your question in the style of a know-it-all Redditor because you need the dialog for a compelling narrative or something

I’ve been able to nix so many intrusive web elements with the ublock picker tool, often without leaving a trace due to modern web design practices. The YouTube shorts shelf is one such case, and it’s shocking how well it worked!
