Perhaps I wasn’t paying appropriate attention but it also seemed unexpected to me. Everywhere has a background level of “we want more mods and admins” so it gets easy to ignore, and it feels like we’ve gone straight from there to “right we’re shutting down now” without an intermediate “we’re really struggling here folk and may have to consider shutting down if it doesn’t improve”.

I think the first one I used, on loan over the summer from the college of FE that my Mum worked at, was an Intertec Superbrain. If not that then something from that era with a monitor and twin floppies all in one.

The first one I owned was a Sinclair ZX81, then a C64 shortly after it halved in price, then an Amiga. Coded the heck out of the 81 and 64 but not much on the Amiga. I remember trying out a C compiler on the C64 but there was so much disk swapping involved that it was just ridiculous and I gave up.

if you drive too fast you’re not insured

I explicitly asked my insurance company (verbally, not a chatbot) about this last time I went to Germany. They said as long as I’m not breaking any laws, my insurance is valid. No speed limit means there is no “too fast to be insured”.

There’s only one person whose opinion on that matters, and she’s aged 30. And maybe your daughter too, but she set it up so that’s unlikely.

You can always find a bunch of weirdos on the internet who’ll be offended at you, no matter who you are or what you do, so it’s never a good idea to not do stuff just because of that.

If you’re worried if you ARE a creep then I’d suggest plugging “what it means to be a creep” or “what is a creep” into your favourite search engine and make sure your regular habits exclude whatever you find. Use several sources, not just the first you find, because not everything on the internet is true.

I don’t see the point. Even on my monster screen they’re only 6mm² so if it’s anything other than simple line art it’s just a small meaningless square of digital noise.

Oh I don’t know. 1,3,5 and 6 resonate strongly with me for Visual Studio 2022. The only reason 4 doesn’t is because instead of looking for a setting I DDG “how do I do X in VS2022”

Is he also into discipline, with a Bible in his hand and a beard on his chin?

I AM NOT A ROBOT.

I CAN PROVE IT.

WOULD A ROBOT PRETENDING TO BE A HUMAN INTENTIONALLY DROP THEIR CONN%~~~~~~#!!! No Carrier

You wouldn’t get that if you lit it in the flame.

Why’s he striking a match? It’s obviously not for the bbq, and it’s not for the cigar either cos he could light that on the bbq.

I created a script called GoUpALevel.

Generally he referred to himself as the son of man, but there were instances of other references: “before Abraham was, I am” might not make a lot of sense to us but the Jews understood this to be a direct claim to divinity, and calling God his Father riled them up too because in their understanding that made him equal with God.

Several thousand over different days and locations, not “one or two”. If it were one or two then this thing would never have taken off. People back then weren’t as dumb as we like to believe.

I agree. BUT, if you allow “teraflop” as a noun, then adding an s makes it plural, and it can still be accurate to say 60 teraflops a second to mean simply (the original definition of) 60 teraflops.

I click links frequently and I’m not a web crawler. Example: get search results, open several likely looking possibilities (only takes a few seconds), then look through each one for a reasonable understanding of the subject that isn’t limited to one person’s bias and/or mistakes. It’s not just search results; I do this on Lemmy too, and when I’m shopping.

I tried pocket a couple of times but couldn’t get past the “we think you’re on a phone so you’re only getting three items on the screen at once”. Well I’m not on a phone, I’m on a desktop with a 32" monitor and three T-Rex sized items on my screen is just terrible design.

I’m not making a point, I’m responding to your request: “treat trans women as women. Because that’s what they are. Name a situation where you think this would be problematic” with the Isla Bryson case.

Initially she was treated as a woman and chucked in a female-only prison. According to you, this is 100% correct.

I agree with your point about prisons in general not being a brilliant solution to crime, being known as universities for criminals. But that - and gendered prisons - are what we’ve got, and we aren’t going to rebuild the entire criminal justice system around the tiny number of trans criminals have a problem with this.

I’ve got one for you, and it’s not even hypothetical. Man rapes two women, gets caught, but transitions before being sentenced.

This is the way

If “basic human needs” includes a full working set of fingers, all ten, because then I get them back.
