We are all the same entity, just different instances, existing inside of the greater consciousness that is the universe. We have performed every great and evil act to ourselves, as we are all the same entity.

Thats literally how it started, yes.

Then scientists realized that their math hack might actually hold some weight.

TUI goes brrr

I think that the reason for all the weirdness in wayland is because they are considering more usecases than just desktop with taskbar and window title bars with _ [ ] X buttons. Think signage, mobile interfaces, kiosks, and other weird non-traditional interfaces. Its why absolute window positioning is dumb the way it is too.

The JS thing makes perfect sense though,

“1” is a string. You declared its type by using quotes. myString = “1” in a dynamically typed language is identical to writing string myString = “1” in a statically typed language. You declare it in the symbols used to write it instead of having to manually write out string every single time.

2 is an integer. You know this because you used neither quotes nor a decimal place surrounding it. This is also explicit.

“1” + 2, if your interpreter is working correctly, should do the following

• identify the operands from left to right, including their types.
• note that the very first operand in the list is a string type as you explicitly declared it as such by putting it in quotes.
• cast the following operands to string if they are not already.
• use the string addition method to add operands together (in this case, this means concatenation).

In the example you provided, “1” + 2 is equivalent to “1” + “2”, but you’re making the interpreter do more work.

QED: “1” + 2 should, in fact, === “12”, and your lack of ability to handle a language where you declare types by symbols rather than spending extra effort writing the type out as a full english word is your own shortcoming. Learn to declare and handle types in dynamic languages better, don’t blame your own misgivings on the language.

Only if we nuke Israel while we’re at it. Zero-party state, les goooooo

You’re describing Signal to some extent.

I explicitly go balls to the wall to protect my tax documents and cat memes, for a couple of reasons:

1. I am very passionate about the concept of “You shouldn’t have to have anything to hide to deserve the right to privacy.”
2. People should’t “poop with the door open” (to use a metaphor), so I keep my door shut.
3. Opinions and ideals can get people hurt if made public, and I want to protect both mine and those of the people i talk to (even if i don’t agree with them).
4. If everyone took their security and privacy this seriously, nobody would have to worry about some nonce assuming they were committing crimes just because they were protecting their right to privacy. I’m being just one more drop in the bucket.

fuck, he found out about my sex-toy safe

Considering the harm it has done in addition to its usefulness, yes.

I really hope we get dumb electric cars. I don’t think we need more spy cameras on wheels going everywhere.

Then you need NextCloud, not Syncthing.

Run NextCloud on your NAS and you’ll be set.

semperverus, 15 days ago

Nextcloud works just fine on my system, must be something with the way you set stuff up.

Whats sad is that people keep wanting more client-side anticheat to fix this, when the real answer is server-side anticheat and changing the engine to stop being so leaky with that much information.

You can safely tell your guild mates that they are in fact the sociopaths for actually moving gear around between alts.

People were snipping out pieces of newspaper and sending them to eachother in the post as jokes, as soon as newspapers became a thing. People used to have silly paintings commissioned to send to eachother too.

Memes are the DNA of the soul, friend.

semperverus, 21 days ago

Its an older meme sir, but it checks out.

semperverus, 21 days ago

Millhouse is not a meme.

semperverus, 21 days ago

You absolutely had memes growing up, they just weren’t called that at the time (or they were, but not popularized as such).

Go read Richard Dawkins’ “Meme: The selfish gene” (1976)

It is, however, in the Arch repos, if you want to try giving that a spin.

Common sense is a fundamentally broken concept and you should remove it from your vocabulary.
