I’m pretty sure their actual justification is that turning the United States into a dictatorship will really own the libs.

Asking “who still uses $thing”, where $thing is the most popular thing in its category, is peak Lemmy.

Surely it should be “cleaned the bin”, right? Dialect issues complicate things but the basic problem seems to be that the joke is just ungrammatical.

I asked sometime to the prom and got turned down. All I learned was that rejection hurts a lot more than I would have thought.

Warning: sweeping generalizations ahead. These are the kinds of opinions I would normally keep to myself.

Based on what I’ve heard from my Indian coworkers, I think India has a culture of ignoring rules that leads to a lot of government corruption. They praise the ability of many people to hire domestic help, but of course they’re the kind of people who can afford it and not the ones providing it.

Based on what I’ve seen in the news, India has a huge problem with Hindu nationalism, which is basically just Indian flavored fascism from what I can tell.

Based on news about the US, I gather the caste system is so pervasive that rules against caste discrimination are being put in place in some parts of the US with large Indian populations. The caste system appears to be a sight variation of overt racism.

Culturally I view India a lot like I view Brazil, The Philippines, Hungary, and Turkey. Economically I view it as similar to China, only a decade or two behind.

I’m not surprised Indians are irrationally proud of their country; Americans are the same.

It’s absolutely trivial to convert either format to json if necessary. The real killer for me with json is the lack of comments. Human-maintained files absolutely need comments.

Json is a garbage format for anything that’s meant to ever be touched by a human. At least use yaml or json5.

Can I run games in HDR, though?

Spam.

At least in the US, the reason 3G isn’t available is that it has been phased out, as has 2G. You may as well complain about how slow it is to send data with smoke signals, because 4G is table stakes for an internet-capable device now.

I’m all for ending homelessness, but that’s really a different problem than we were discussing. I’m pretty confident jQuery isn’t stopping anyone from being housed.

Anyway, there’s no way you’re gonna convince me 32 kB is a lot of data. It’s just not. Even the slowest 3G connections can download that much in half a second. Just the text of this thread is probably more than 32 kB. If you can’t download that much data, you only technically have Internet service at all.

If it was for surveillance, do you really think they’d tell you about it?

At a certain point it makes more sense to subsidize better low-end hardware than to make every web site usable on a 20 year old flip phone. I’d argue that if saving 32 kB is considered a big win, you’re well past that point. Get that homeless guy a £50 phone and quit wasting the time of a bunch of engineers who make more than that in an hour.

If the software is much more expensive to develop, most is it just won’t exist at all. You can get the same effect by just not using software you feel is bloated.

I just wish Linux partisans would acknowledge that Linux has serious shortcomings rather than constantly shouting about how there is literally no reason to ever use Windows.

I greatly prefer Linux for tasks like software development, but when I sit down to pay a game, I don’t want to have to debug it first.

I still maintain the correct version if the saying is a “stopped” clock. A clock can be broken in other ways that make it almost never right.

Also I’m not sure analog clocks should be considered “regular” at this point. If seems like they’re mostly decorative items now, and most actual timekeeping is done with clocks in phones and computers.

If they want to criticize someone’s grammar, who are you to say they can’t? Stop being so prescriptive!

Monorepos are cancer. Too bad I have no choice about it at work.

Why would you pick those particular pieces of media? There is a great deal of media depicting Texas. In my (generally suburban) experience, it’s way more like King of the Hill or Office Space than it’s like No Country for Old Men.
