The other issue with periodic password changes, particularly in the workplace but also relevant in normal life, is that it causes people to write down their password. The issues with that should be glaring enough

I did have to explain DKP

“So basically imagine if capitalists distributed loot”

You even threw the word “wait” in there independently because of your preconceptions of customer support calls

I feel like as long as you’re running nvim in Linux you could take a screenshot of the whole desktop with nvim open to pass it off as ricing

I prefer that my kids know that face tattoos are a terrible idea…

Ever heard of a cyclical issue? Basically, you believe that people will think less of them for having face tattoos because you think less of people with face tattoos. You’re perpetuating the intolerance that you fear your kids would face.

Tattoos don’t mean that you’re stupid, especially not in today’s world where tattoo removal is increasingly available to the laymen. What do you gain by judging people in that way? Just more reason to feel better than them?

it’ll be demonized monetized by Media.

Agreed.

Yeah and none of those are my niche. Not to mention, content discovery is still difficult even if you personally see things you’re interested in lol

One of the big issues that I personally had with Pixelfed is that content discovery is kind of difficult on the platform. Sure, there’s probably some pictures out there of the obscure shit I’m into. However, all I ever found on pixelfed was like landscape/nature photography and a little bit of porn

was dead

20k MAU can feel pretty dead, even 100k can if none of them are sharing things you’re interested in.

While I do agree with what you’re saying, I actually think a “by women for women” instance has a slightly different impact than a “by women for women” community. There are definitely pros and cons for both, though

I write in markdown literally every day and I still have to edit my comments at least three times whenever I do anything other than a line break. It be like that lol

Unless your threat modelling includes nation-states

At which point you should have a handful of extra layers

This is anecdotal

Not just anecdotal. The default SSH port gets hit by ridiculous numbers of bots because a lot of people don’t bother to change it. This will be true no matter what machine you’re on. Hell, your desktop at home has probably been scanned quite a few times even if all you do is watch porn on it

What do I care what language the library is written in as long as it works for what I need it do?

Doesn’t matter what it implies. The entire purpose of programming is to make it so a human doesn’t have to go do something manually.

not x tells me I need to go manually check what type x is in Python.

len(x) == 0 tells me that it’s being type-checked automatically

Honestly most people use Python because it has fantastic libraries. They optimize it because the language is middling, but the libraries are gorgeous

ETA: This might double post because my Internet sucks right now, will fix when I have a chance

Gotta use two newlines with Lemmy’s markdown, else it ignores it and then your comment comes out lookin a lil goofy

But with a second newline it’s fine

It’s obviously well fed and groomed

I don’t actually disagree with you, but in the case of stray cats, this is actually a bad indicator. Many strays are very well taken care of by their local community. My neighborhood, for example, maintains a cat colony of about 5 cats. They’re well fed, and if you just go by their coat you’d assume they get taken to a groomer weekly. They just eat well and take care of themselves, though

While you’re not wrong, we still need to understand it at least well enough to avoid RCE and fix memory-related bugs

Do you consider using a meme format a rip off?
