Same

I was never really on Twitter (had an account that I never used). Tried mastodon recently to fill in some gaps from lemmy but there’s really no good way that I found, to follow interesting/active/popular people

If anyone knows what I did wrong I’d gladly take the suggestion (tbf I didn’t really bother to search but if you reply to me other people will also read it)

There’s still massive amounts of air pressure changes Those can definitely lift some smaller rocks

Biden is bad in this subject. Trump would be massively worse not only here but virtually everywhere else too

Fuck in a way I also feel bad for the defense layers. Like I’m pretty sure none of the want to defend these rapist pieces of shit, but in a way they have to in order for the system to function properly. Imagine having to defend rapists and falsely accused “rapists” in the same way, with the same effort and determination. I’m sure I couldn’t do it

The autocomplete is amazing

It just takes the mental strain out of syntax and I can focus more on the logic and structure of the code

Like you said much better for writing unit tests, but also for log messages and comments

Even the chat is sometimes useful but not as much. I treat it as much junior engineer assistant/rubber duck. I.e. I never completely accept what it outputs and usually review everything but quite often it gives me a different idea/approach even if it doesn’t write it 100% correct the first time. Because I always review it, having it autocomplete the next line is my preferred approach so I verify each line as they come.

Once you start to past 10/20+ lines in a row you will have a bad time.

I was like ok that’s hot but for a record?? Then I realize that it says winter.

We’re so fucked

I’ve had iPhone for years and I can’t remember the last time I didn’t use chrome with it

Never rooted my phones either. It’s definitely not blocked

Step 2 is out it is in most countries in Europe. But honestly I like how it is in the UK. You vote on a Thursday and people have legally mandated time off during that day to go vote.

I feel like a lot of people would definitely vote if it gave them paid time off from their work.

If you move to a weekend then it comes off their free time and they might be away etc

Also free and no hurdles mail voting.

Ludicrous shit

And even then 15$!!?! How much does it cost to send a regular letter there? Because that’s at most how much it should cost to vote by mail. (But it’s it should 1000% be free)

You don’t have public transit on national holidays and Sundays? Next you are going to ask who is going to work in hospitals and restaurants

Fuck that’s depressing

If only all the scientists could have predicted all of this. Maybe even tried to warn us about it and write it in signs.

Stupid scientists…

Ok I guess

But ChatGPT is way too polite for such a comment

Just because you disagree doesn’t mean I am a bot

But you are welcome to explain your logic (if any) if you are interested in actually having a civilized discussion

His audience is mostly kids yes but not all of them.

His content can and is too annoying for a lot of people and that’s fine but it’s also entertaining to a lot of other people. I’m sure that you’ve had the situation where the most famous band, sport, food etc isn’t something you like. And that’s totally ok. It turns out we kind like different things. I’d argue it’s a good thing.

Also people severely underestimate him just because they don’t like his content or for some other reason. Pretty much every big YouTuber will agree that he is extremely good and optimizing the algorithm and that’s not an easy thing. If it were everyone would be doing it and the truth is that not a lot of people get close to his success.

Some of his videos are just for shits and giggles but a lot of them in does give a ton of money to people in need. Some people dislike that he does this for his channel and don’t like him for it. However the truth is that in the end he gave more money to people in need than everyone in this comment section combined.

I mean yes but isn’t that being extremely pedantic?

Take Mr Beast or an hypothetical example. Give 1M to strangers in need, record it, upload it to YouTube make 4M on ads and other sponsors (content is still free). Pocket 2M, make second video where he gives 2M to other strangers in need. Record it, upload it to YouTube etc etc

Now I agree with you, philosophically it’s best to give without expecting or earning anything in return. But is that really the best outcome? Isn’t it actually arguably better to publicize it and with it reach and help way more people?

For me the answer is clear. I’d rather have someone record and even make money of this type of content (as long as there’s no exploitation or slimy shit) than have that same someone not do that and instead only help a fraction of the people. I’ll argue that the people being helped don’t give a crap about it, so it feels a bit patronizing to say that they shouldn’t be helped because of X or Y

This isn’t specific to Mr Beast, I don’t even know the details of the recent scandal. I just see this argument everywhere and I feel it’s very naive

Can you name the chapter specifically? I guess it will spoil a lot of the first book no?

I guess you are right that it created news but I doubt it will have the desired effect. One does not guarantee the other necessarily

Those tourists can’t even vote. With climate protests at least you are raising awareness in people that can have some change or make some pressure.

Yes protests need to be disruptive but spraying people in London would be just as effective as spraying tourists that are ALREADY in their city.

Yes but you could raise awareness in different ways or complain in a different place.

Those tourists are already there. They aren’t gonna pack up and leave. Sure they are probably not going to recommend Barcelona to their friends in the future but that’s insignificant.

Those tourists can’t even vote in legislation that would fix it, because they don’t live there. So it’s literally barking at the wrong tree.

And for the record, I’m very much aware that protests are almost by definition annoying. I’m very much for all the climate protests even when they block roads and such.

Thanks!! And shit has it really been a year yet? My app still says 11 months but maybe a few hours are left
