I saw a comment the other day where they (Flying Squid) claimed to be in their 40s. Idk about mental health issues, but they are incredibly hostile/argumentative in comments.

Connect for Lemmy on my Android phone has worked great! The interface is almost, but not quite, 1:1 with RIF.
It was pretty buggy at launch, but here we are about a year out, and I’m not sure if I remember the what/when the last bug I encountered was. That is to say, the devs for connect are on top of stuff with regular updates which is nice.
They do deep dives are random shitty people throughout history, and occasionally contemporary people like Andrew Tate. Usually it is people like 1940s gangsters, 1990s drug kingpins, King Leopold the 2nd, and fittest gurus from the 1800s.
I am at a loss for words that I could recognize it almost immediately.
Reasonable minds feel free to disagree, but I’ve got to admit that I’m shocked to see the lemmy community rally around the defense of Ray Croc of all people.
And Ray Croc didn’t invent McDonald’s, but poured the foundation that McDonald’s is built on. I place Musk in a similar, although not entirely the same, category.
My great grandfather was aboard the USS Missouri when the Japanese came aboard to surrender. He always said that it was one of the biggest moments of his life, and he always regretted that he didn’t have a camera during that visit. I think that I would like to go back in time to that event, and bring a camera with me.
Ok, you are entitled to your opinion, but the claim was that Christian churches and Christian church goers weren’t being targeted or “demonized,” which I’ve shown is false. Both with an example from yesterday morning, and an aggregate data set which shows some level of significance. Now, whether you want to argue if it is deserved, or proportional, or whatever else is up to you and your morals. However, the original claim that Christians are not the target of harassment because of their religious affiliation is simply not true.
I thought that the article being from this morning would say enough, but I mean… https://www.christianpost.com/news/436-acts-of-hostility-against-us-churches-documented-in-2023.html
The Ring, age 8 or 9, did me in as well. The bathtub scene is also the one that messed with my head the most.
Yes officer, it’s true. This man has no dick.

Yeah, I think that seems to be the case here. It just feels to weird me to have a politicized data structure.

Sure! So some students of mine were working on a multiplayer video game that was started by a different group of students the previous semester. The first group of students made a design choice that, to over-simplify, basically tracked achievements and milestones on the client side and then synchronized those achievements to the server. Players could cheat the system by sending malicious packets of achievements to the server. Some achievements could only be completed by a single person in the game, so this was a big problem for the 2nd group of students to overcome. Faced with the choice of rearchitecting the game to be more authoritative on the server and less resilient to frequent disconnections, which affected some aspects of the game, or creating a logical and verifiable sequence of in-game events on the server side. The students went with the latter, and implemented a Lamport clock using a blockchain to verify the authenticity of the events, and prevent a rogue student from updating the game later to give themself a bonus. Basically, along with needing an authoritative sequence of events that is protected from user interference, it also needed to be protected from developer interference.
It was kinda similar to that situation a few years back of the EVE online developers playing the game and giving their guild members certain bonuses and special in-game items. The solution there was to fire the malicious developers, but I can’t exactly fire an entire class of students from an educational project.
How can you trust that the database is really append only? Blockchain provides a way to verify the state of the database and the ordering of the transactions. Beyond that, not much benefit to be had. However, for certain situations, that is a very big benefit!
On the flip side, the font caught my eye and made me want to read what it said.
Which then took 5 minutes because I couldn’t easily read what it said. But still, good marketing of a comment
Not quite- in Appalachia, most homes have a porch. Appalachia is, generally speaking, quite a muggy place, so most people sleep inside and then spend their time outside on the porch. The porch plays the same role as a living room or den in other parts of the US.
A porch thief is basically the same as any other burglar, but they will (almost) exclusively steal from porches because it is often less risky than stealing from the rest of the house.
Because of the important role of a porch as a primary living area, porch thieves can make off with family heirlooms, money, games, furniture, children’s toys, and even TV sets.
Tangential fun fact: the guy from “Shadiversity” and the guy from “Drawing with Jazza” are brothers. This is incredibly odd to me because I don’t think that they look or act alike at all.
For whatever this is worth, he is argumentative & unfriendly enough for him to be mentioned multiple times in this thread as a famous asshole. (Note, many comments have now been “removed by mod” - but they were there. Just mentioning it in case someone tries to Ctrl+F their name to verify.)
