Pajamas shouldn’t leave the house.
Unique names and unique spellings of names are terrible. There should be a government approved list of names to choose from.
Religion is the worst thing humanity has made up.
Waterworld is a fantastic movie.
Linux > Windows.
It is “Math” and not “Maths”
Daylight savings time needs to be gotten rid of.
The imperial measurement standard needs to be gotten rid of.
The UN security council veto should be able to be overridden by the general assembly.
Collective responsibility for a democracy’s crimes should be a thing.
The country of Israel should be moved to an open area of land with no people on it. Siberia, Alaska, Greenland, or the jungles of South America.
There should be a corporate death penalty when they commit crimes.
All kids should have food.
All humans should have access to very basic water and food. Like beans and rice for everyone, no exceptions.
Basic sanitation is a human right.
Religion should not be respected any more than any other bag of philosophical ideas. Stupid parts of religions should be called out and discussed, not hallowed and treated with respect even if its utter nonsense.
Don’t say “acronym” when you mean “abbreviation”!
“Acronym” specifically refers to an initialism that forms a new word. For example,
It’s acro- (height) -nym (word) - a word that exists on top of / above other words.
In contrast “NIH” is not an acronym because it isn’t pronounced or read as a word. It’s appropriate to say, “‘NIH’ is an abbreviation” or “‘NIH’ is an initialism”. But saying “‘NIH’ is an acronym” is wrong!
There are knights that may disagree.
Oh… oh dear!
Using “themselves” for a non-binary person or unspecified gender is grammatically incorrect.
It’s “themself.” (Unless they’re plural.)
Also, “Latinx” is performative white ally cringe. It’s not pronounceable in Spanish. Use “Latine.” -e is the obvious gender neutral ending.
Ok but literally all of my Latinx friends say that they use the word Latinx, and it was popularized in South America and it is still used there frequently (though as I understand it, -u is becoming the more fashionable gender-neutral ending these days). I actually think
“Latinx” is performative white ally cringemight be what’s performative cringe.Honestly good points overall, but I will die on the other egg hill
Complete protection? Certainly not, but melanin does provide some protection from UV radiation. Still important to wear sunscreen because if a melanated individual where to get skin cancer it usually has a higher mortality rate because they’re often caught late.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2671032/
Yep, however my friends and family who have darker skin tend to believe that it makes them immune to it, which isn’t the case, if anything they can get away with using sunscreen with lower fps and/or reapply less often, but everyone should protect their skin regardless.
Can confirm i am a melanated individual who doesn’t use sunblock as often as i should (but im also never outside LMFAO)
But yes you’re absolutely correct but I just wanted to clarify that we should be using sunblock but nevertheless it’s still not as much of a risk to us
Obviously written by NixOS sectarian.
SystemD is pretty decent. I think the logging system needs some serious work, especially for server apps. NGL, I kind miss the console just shitting out files and letting me deal with it. I had to make a lot of changes to make really chatty stuff stop using system logs and handle it on their own.
The red nub on IBM/Lenovo laptops is far superior to a touchpad
I believe you are referring to the Thinkpad clit.
I was about to comment and correct the poster that it was called a nipple, but you are correct. its a clit.
People should be educated on FOSS software & Fediverse and try to use it whenever possible.
I’ve said it somewhere earlier today, I’ll say it again here. I think Windows XP was bad, and that Vista was good.
But Windows in general is still absolute rubbish anyway.
I actually love Vista. It’s what made me switch to Linux!
I use NixOS btw
Vista was either magic or crap depending on your hardware/software needs. Almost no middle ground. I was supporting about 100 PC’s at the time, and it was a nightmare for work, but I enjoyed running it myself.
From a corporate standpoint, skipping it for win7 was a serious win for IT.
On the upside, the latest Samsung UI on android has something pretty close to Vista’s old task manager.
Vista was great. It just needed double the ram which was standard back then.
There are still functions of Vista MIA in w11. It was far ahead of it’s time.
Definitely. People just had garbage computers.
I got a new computer a year after Vista came out. It came with Vista pre-installed. That thing lasted me 11 years, and the first three (2008-2011) WERE on Vista. That’s how much I liked it.
Python sucks.
Not only is it extremely inefficient, it is also a pain in the ass to work with if you have to use APIs that heavily rely on dynamic type wrapping and don’t provide stubs. Static analysis via Pylance is not possible then and you’re basically poking around in the dark, increasing the difficulty enourmously to get to know such an API. Even worse if there isn’t even a halfway decent documentation.
What always pissed me off is the indentation/codeblock style. Most languages you can write in notepad and be fine, if you don’t use a proper editor in python, you’re going to spend time hunting down indent issues.
thank you.
I really don’t get how so many people find Python “ergonomic.” kwargs and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race. they break type hinting and intellisense, and there’s all kinds of proxy class shenanigans that all the libraries use. matplotlib is a horrible experience because there’s just a kitchen sink of options, and it’s hard to dynamically update plots. if there were a TypeScript-like dialect of Python I wouldn’t have problems, but Python’s type hinting is absolutely wretched.
I really want Julia to succeed.
Surprised to see Java that high tho. I have been using it for uni stuff and it’s not bad.
Feels overly complex on some areas (gradle??) and I am not a fan of OOP but still relatively good.
I absolutely hate the package management in it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found a cool python project, downloaded it from GitHub then tried to install requirements. And it turns into a huge nightmare of trying to find compatible packages. It’ll be like you need wheel v3.1.0 so I try to install that,.then it’s like no you can’t do that because it’s not compatible with numpy v79.84.1 that you have installed. So then you search and try to find which version is compatible, then install they go to install wheel again,.and it’s like no you need pandas,.so you install pandas but it like sorry I’m not compatible with the version of numpy you installed.
I’m a newb still but was put off by having to use “Conda” to manage a ton of virtual Python environments ultra-specific to the applications they were designed for. Blegh!
I literally almost failed a uni course bc how shitty python packaging is. And well, maybe I am lazy, but the horrors of daring to get fucking deps were too much.
Just use Julia ffs. 😭😭
I thought you were referring to Monty Python like op did and I thought: what the heck is he talking about?
People on Lemmy aren’t “normal” people and shouldn’t use their personal views as the norm.
but we’re on Lemmy 🤔
Both employer related:
There shouldn’t be borders.
I’d one up that and say there shouldn’t be countries. The concept makes no sense. US propaganda always tries to make China and Russia out to be the “enemy” meanwhile when its Trump doing bad things, the world also says its the US causing problems. All of the sudden, what one or two bad people do somehow means the whole country is at fault. If we took out all the bad people and chucked them out, we could all just be people. No nations, no nothing—just people.
Nationalism also works the other way. The wins of the privileged are framed as ‘WE’RE winning!!’. Big companies exploit you more and profit? It’s spun as The Economy is going well. GDP went up. That sounds good for you, doesn’t it?
Who sets laws and enforces them? But otherwise totally in favour of returning to monke
There are many, many systems of governance out there and plenty of democratic systems are wildly different from the ‘liberal democracy’ we’re familiar with. Cheran in Mexico is an interesting example, five minute documentary.
