TheEntity,

So do I, and yet I keep renting a tiny apartment for ridiculous money. Maybe I should have committed genocide instead.

TheEntity,

I appreciate you still voting though, mate. The alternative is far worse and that’s terrifying that our alternative to supporting a literal genocide is even worse.

TheEntity,

Sometimes the “necessary life changes” turn out to be a revolution to overthrow the current system.

TheEntity,

Sadly that’s very likely not what that person meant.

TheEntity,

They already tried that in the Steam Machines era. It clearly wasn’t working.

TheEntity,

It would be just as (un)popular as the Steam Machines if it wasn’t for Proton, that’s my whole point.

TheEntity,

Go is like that abusive partner that gives you flowers and the next day makes you feel like shit. Then another day you go to an expensive restaurant and you tell yourself that maybe it’s not so bad and they just still care. And the cycle continues.

Rust is an autistic partner that sometimes struggles with telling you how much they care, is often overly pedantic about technical correctness and easily gets sidetracked by details, but with some genuine effort from both sides it’s very much a workable relationship.

TheEntity,

Because the obesity and their bad health likely has a single cause. Whether it’s neglect, bad mental health or something else, it all increases the likelihood of obesity and being otherwise unhealthy. This headline seems to paint the fat people as leeches of the system, while they are often already sick and obesity just one of their symptoms.

TheEntity,

Sounds about right, I’ve seen that anime too.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

TheEntity,

I have nothing against veganism as a dietary decision, I’m actually seriously considering it for health reasons and for easier food preparation.

I am sick of veganism as a moral high horse, especially with hypocrisy in the background. I have a friend constantly ordering stuff, including vegan ingredients, from Amazon of all places. If he’s going to low-key admonish me for hurting animals, I’d expect him to care about the Amazon warehouse employees to a similar degree. Unless it’s all just posturing.

TheEntity,

If the hard mode merely makes everything into a bullet sponge with huge HP bar, no thanks. I’m perfectly fine with some games just being easier and others just being harder. Or having multiple well thought out difficulty options, but only if they are actually well thought out.

TheEntity,

never mind, I looked it up. It’s a “reference” instead of a pointer. Similar, but unlike a pointer it doesn’t create a distinct variable in memory of its own.

I’m almost sure it does create a distinct variable in memory. Internally it’s still a pointer, specifically a const pointer (not to be confused with a pointer to a const value; it’s the address that does not change). Think about it as a pointer that is only ever dereferenced and never used as a pointer. So yes, like the other commenter said, like an alias.

TheEntity,

An int& reference is just as much of a variable as int* const would be (a const pointer to a non-const int). “Variable” might be a misnomer here, but it takes just as much memory as any other pointer.

TheEntity,

Why 7 specifically?

TheEntity,

Ah, so this was about melting the bottle down and making a new bottle 7 times? As opposed to washing the bottle and reusing it as it was. Makes much more sense now. :)

TheEntity,

As if! I’m sure lots of neurodivergent people would disagree with half of these points.

TheEntity,

A non-American here. Can you explain why it is considered a political suicide? Do the votes like Israel so much or what?

TheEntity,

How many email accounts do you have? It might be a huge factor. I have about 7 accounts I need to check regularly and I cannot imagine doing it manually for each. I can see it working for one or maybe two though.

TheEntity,

They can just charge €10/mo like every other company does, for example Netflix. They can’t offer it as an alternative to the “freely given consent”. It’s not freely given if the alternative is to pay to not give this consent.

TheEntity,

Firstly, this is not “my argument”, this is EU’s argument.

Secondly, none of these platforms present it as a choice between paying and giving the kind of consent that by law needs to be optional and freely given.

Thirdly, being free to not use a service that is breaking the law does not make it any less illegal.

TheEntity,

People shouldn’t go to jail for shit opinions, I agree. That changes when their opinions become more than opinions.

TheEntity,

I wasn’t aware they added WebAuthn to the free plan recently. That’s great to hear, thanks for the correction!
