This goes far beyond TikTok. Twitch, Youtube, the jurisdictions of Canada, the UK, Australia... this is one thing I'm not willing to blame China for, I am just noting how close it is the same thing that China does.

I'm not blaming zoomers, no more than I am blaming chinese youth who have to talk about "aquatic producers" to avoid being censored for even discussing censorship. Ironically I tried looking for a list of officially banned wo

Are you saying censorship is fine because people can just use other words? There really is no point engaging with you then.

by LAC-Tech 3y ago
It is, but it will get you banned. Has no one else noticed the rise of censorship evading slang among zoomers? Eg saying "unalive" instead of "kill". I remember there was a big file with a bunch of these for chinese yout

Youtube has a long running partnership with the ADL, an influential zionist organisation in America. Here's an article from 2008, from the Jersualem Post. https://www.jpost.com/Jewish-World/Jewish-News/ADL-You

I think the sort of people who push "climate change anxiety" and espouse theories about "late stage capitalism" are a huge, huge part of the problem. Near every communist I've met was miserable.

TBH I mainly just like it because the configuration file is a single line. It also never even occured to me for sudo or doas to log anything, so there's that. Also, I don't have sudo installed at all on my system, and everything s

Love the man pages, love doas (I use it on my main linux machine), love that it has an HTTP server in the main install. But the filesystem is so basic that people recommend a UPS just so your data doesn't get corrupted during a power o

strace is language agnostic. Any program that interacts with the OS - interacting with files, allocating memory, etc - will have to make system calls. Whether it's in C, Rust, Zig, Haskell, APL or Prolog.

Not an issue if all if you know how to touch type and aren't reliant on the labels for the keys. I'm typing this very message on a keyboard that has no labels at all, it's all muscle memory.

NZ feels behind Australia in most ways. But in this area we're ahead. It's slightly insane to me a country as wealthy as yours still has this sort of thing going on.

I feel like all police in NZ are secret police because I never see any out in the street anymore.

Yes: even if you are not aware of it, each one of you are looking for ways to get away from the modern world. We all are. All the time. There are two kinds of people in our modern western world: exhausted people and liars. I laughed out l

My most popular youtube video was a reaction to Theo actually, where he talked about how unit testing was stupid and I said it was great. He has a lot of haters. I do kind of see why.

I don't know much about rap, but I do know that dying young makes you very popular. When I was a teenager it was tupac.

Just looked it up. Looks like Tum comes from the same root as English "you". Guess a few millennia can do crazy things.

That seems unlikely. From wiktionary: From Middle English you, yow, ȝow (object case of ye), from Old English ēow (“you”, dative case of ġē), from Proto-Germanic iwwiz (“you”, dative case of jīz), Western form of izwiz (“you”, dative ca

Indeed, it's the same word! In the ancestor language of both English and German (and also Dutch, Low German, and many others) it's been reconstructed as "þū".

Very poorly is my understanding. There's various sequential UUID-like schemes that are more sortable by prefixing with bits of physical time. Off the top of my head, ULIDs and also UUID v7.

I'm not sure where why you bought a cheap portable CD player in 2023 instead of grabbing one of sonys mp3 walkman devices. I have one that's 10 or so years old and it's still my primary portable music listening device (I neve

Tangential but I'm a bit blown away by that mongoDB mention - that it just flushes every 100ms, so you can lose writes. The link in the article is invalid, but from https://www.mongodb.com/docs/current/core&#x

It's a shame because Europe seems to have top notch compsci research. It's not like there's not talent there.
