I wrote some allocators for IBM’s JVM eons ago, I get that. As much as I hate Java, I wish it would be related this time.

Unfortunately, I was talking about the Joe Rogan Experience.

Deezer also doesn’t host JRE and they didn’t provide a platform for literal nazis, so advantages all around.

No, I came here, looking for that exact comment

Smoothing is probably the “wrinkle away”, “wrinkle shield” etc. setting. Wool loosening is what a modern dryer calls e. g. “refresh” or “fluff”.

Funny enough, the dial on my dryer bought earlier this year has almost identical settings and layout, just more options.

It is, probably. But I did a check before I posted and it did display content from Lemmy. Just pointing out alternatives here.

I think Fedilab should do both:

That dude is joking of course, but touching someone in a subtle manner can be used to both express and indicate interest.

If all else fails, entangle him with silk and consume him.

Yeah, in general, that’s true. Unfortunately, that’s not the whole truth, as usual. I found these sites helpful:

IMHO, there is too much legal fragmentation and a discrepancy between the federal classification and the treatment of e-bikes as regular bikes. I also prefer the slower speed limits and simplified classification most EU member states adopted (15mph, 250W continuous motor power)

I lift and I sew. Fuck that noise, you do you.

Yeah, but that is already illegal in 90% of the places, which makes it an issue not really related to the concept of an e-bike.

I have been living in Europe for quite a while now, and e-bikes here are limited to about 15mph, e-scooters can go up to 12mph. While you can buy modding kits just fine, I haven’t seen a single modded bike in regular traffic in the last 9 years.

There are higher powered devices that can legally go faster, but that means you need a helmet and a license plate.

Let’s not claim that e-bikes and cargo e-bikes do not make a huge difference in cities and rural areas (for completely different reasons). It’s legislation and enforcement of the existing laws that suck, not the idea of a vehicle that can assist its driver.

Glad to hear that you found a position where your work experience is enjoyable and compatible with your desired life style. Given your last sentence, I hope you can see how the legislation mentioned here could potentially help people who have not yet been so lucky to achieve that.

Why would there be a dedicated tag for Ecchi? Once people start doing that, you are down the road to meaningless, one-time use hash tags that offer no value and actually decrease people’s ability to filter for topics.

I get that there should be an option to filter out sexual and violent content independently of each other, but those filters should be very broad categories and not serve as organizational mechanism for the individual preferences of users.

Also, if you introduce a rating system, who will handle the additional moderation load, checking out in which category each particular content instance falls. I don’t see it.

You mean the company that had a feature in place that allowed law enforcement to request and access video footage from your devices without obtaining a warrant first?

As expected, their security measures were also found to be lacking.

Yeah, no thanks.

There is definitely a difference in quality when talking about import software.

Also, “outlawing vulnerabilities” would not mean to simply assume everyone starts making perfectly secure software, but rather that you’re fined if you can’t prove your processes are up to spec and you adhered to best practices during development. Additionally, vendors are obliged to maintain their software and keep it secure.

And surprise, surprise, the EU ratified laws that do exactly that (and more) recently. In fact, they’ll be in effect very soon:

Topic aside: handmade, floating 3d speech bubbles!

NewPipe stops working whenever Google updates YouTube with a breaking change that NewPipe needs to integrate then, e. g. renaming parameters, changing URLs and the like.

NewPipe has been steadily working for years, with the expected interrupts as they have to play catch up with YouTube. That typically only lasts a few days, sometimes hours, though.

With type annotations, this problem is mostly alleviated in practice, while still keeping the productivity gains of duck typing.

I share all those opinions, so your rant saved me some potential typing in the future.

On the 8 Pro, the bump is recessed relative to the Otterbox case (given the “tough” Otterbox model for the 8 Pro, no idea what it’s called)
