If the US invaded Mexico, I would fully support any and every country that supported Mexico in pretty much any way.

Wild that you call out posturing with violence, but seem fine to forgive actual violence.

Disengage from Ukraine and stop invading countries.

I mean, I’ve seen tankies spin anything to fit their narrative, I’m sure they’ll continue to do so. Remember, anything resembling support of Ukraine is an act of aggression against Russia, and tantamount to unilaterally starting WWIII.

The company has taken action against violations of its policies, she said

What does this mean in this context? Send takedown notices to people who joke on the Internet?

I think we read different books if you think her characters were altruistic. I remember her specifically calling out altruism as a sin (compared to the virtue of selfishness).

I pay for YouTube. I’m mildly optimistic that this won’t make it into the paid version, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if it does.

I’ve already had to cancel Amazon Prime after they made the base tier have ads, but continued to show ads after paying extra for ad-free.

Hardware cloth is a metal mesh.

Then, you could take those comments, and have the compiler use them to ensure you’re using the right variable in the right place. Oh wait, we just invented a type system.

I assume you meant trillion and not million for those gdp figures? Even then, they’re low.

But you can delete your copy, ask others nicely to delete theirs, and refuse to accept more copies of the same thing.

I’m not sure if Lemmy supports any of this, but it seems pretty important for e.g. child porn.

Your white led is a blue led with a phosphorescent coating.

It’s still wild to me that I visited Hawaii as a kid, and then several years later. When I went back, a road I had driven on as kid was covered in lava.

It’s really not at these scales. Earth and Mars go from roughly 4 light minutes apart to over 20.

At the best case, saying something and then waiting 8 minutes for a response is hardly what I’d call “real time”.

I’m not so sure. The study discusses specifically people who engage in partisan subreddits, which is not the same as being politically engaged. It also uses an AI to grade toxicity, which surely mischaracterizes many interactions.

For example, I have been in communities of a non-political nature, where political discussions occur. These are often about real issues that affect real people in the community, and yet there are people complaining about political content.

To complain about political content is, at best, a very privileged take, demonstrating that you are in a position where politics do not affect you much. At worst, it is actively hostile behavior with the goal of continuing the status quo and shutting down discourse. I would call most of these kinds of comments “toxic”, and yet the rhetoric is usually fine, so I doubt an AI would agree.

Linux gaming is already here.

There are multiple kinds of heat pump water heaters.

For the one I have, only the tank is inside. The full heat pump is outside, and water is piped between it and the tank.

I also appreciate that you’re supposed to learn Django 19 years before you learn Python.

What else lets me easily play games on Linux, on my couch, without touching a keyboard or mouse?

I personally don’t think they do, but an argument can certainly be made. Rust proc macros can run arbitrary code at compile time. Build scripts can also do this.

This means, adding a dependency in Cargo.toml is often enough for that dependency to run arbitrary code (as rust-analyzer will likely immediately compile it).

In practice, I don’t think this is much worse than a dependency being able to run arbitrary code at runtime, but some people clearly do.

Is this legal? My understanding is that the strip of grass between the sidewalk and street is “semi-private”, in that the homeowner has to maintain it, but that the city actually owns it.

I’d check local laws and see if the HOA has any right to restrict dogs there.
