Thank you Señor Chang

Yeah, I guess that’s true. I suppose given more time to think about it I wouldn’t really complain about that. It’s mostly things like script in out that are sort of annoying versus something like script --in foo --out bar.

How do you even do it though lol, it hasn’t asked me too.

What instance?

When I was young I thought I’d need to really know the difference between gold and fool’s gold as an adult.

Terminally online Lemming should be a template

In the same way some GUIs are trash, lord have mercy some CLIs are trash. Things like adding two verbose flags makes it extra verbose. Things like the parameter order mattering. Yeesh. It can be rough. It really varies tool by tool.

🧓 oh boy, I guess I get my senior citizen’s discount now!

Computer output cannot be copyrighted, don’t focus on it being “AI”. It’s not quite so simple, there’s some nuance about how much human input is required. We’ll likely see something about that at some point in court. The frustrating thing is that a lot of this boils down to just speculation until it goes to court.

This is why CC0 should not be used for code. Its public license fallback explicitly does not give patent rights. Compare that to MIT which implicitly does by saying you can use the software however you want. CC0 literally has this clause in the public license fallback.

No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.

Yeah, a lot of copyright law in the US is extremely forgiving towards creators making mistakes. For example, you can only file for damages after you register the copyright, but you can register after the damages. So like if I made a book, someone stole it and starting selling copies, I could register for a copyright afterwards. Which honestly is for the best. Everything you make inherently has copyright. This comment, once I click send, will be copyrighted. It would just senselessly create extra work for the government and small creators if everything needed to be registered to get the protections.

Edit: As an example of this, this is why many websites in their terms of use have something like “you give us the right to display your work” because, in some sense, they don’t have the right to do that unless you give them the right. Because you have a copyright on it. Displaying work over the web is a form of distribution.

If both sides of you you are deadly cold or deadly hot, no amount of rotation is going to make sure it evens out.

No, the “spin” thing was just to preemptively get past people who might say something like the point is so small that one side would freeze and one side would burn to a crisp. Because, you know, as humans we are not dimensionless points, lol, we have volume.

I’ve said this a lot in different places and the Lemmy community is so small folks might even recognize me repeating myself, but I’ll say it again here. The problem with recommending a good Discord alternative is that Discord is different things for different people. For some it’s streaming. For some it’s video calls. For some it’s voice calls. For some it’s DMs. For some it’s group servers. For some the image and video sharing is an important aspect. It’s hard to recommend a good alternative because you’ll always inevitably run into the problem of someone saying “but it doesn’t do the thing I use it for.” The reality is that folks might need to use multiple apps to meet their needs if they migrate.

If you’d skimmed the article you would’ve seen they they suggested Discourse which the author openly admits is a forum, not a chat app. But hey, that’s what some folks use Discord as.

Where do you think you are? (Yes I know this isn’t exactly a BBS.)

I mean continuous like this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function but I think you’re thinking I mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function which I do not.

There’s a spot in space where you’ll burn to a crisp because you’re too close to the sun. There’s a spot in space where you’ll freeze. Therefore there must be at least one point in space that’s a comfortable temperature.

And yes, I know there isn’t anything to hear up in space. The thing being heated would be you. And like I said, it’s probably so narrow that you’d have to be spinning so you don’t burn up on one side and freeze on the other. But mathematically, if there’s a spot where you’re too hot and another where you’re too cold and the temperature you experience between them is a continuous function then, by definition, there must be at least one point between them there’s a comfortable temperature.

I guess I need to talk about my 401k at least once before March or something.

Should’ve spelled it as excist for the bit.

Unless I’m carrying something, holding a door open for me usually just messes up my rhythm and makes me more uncomfortable from the sudden need to acknowledge a favor rather than just spacing out and walking.
