Projects To Watch Out For: Ladybird Browser
  • A PR fixing all those issues was merged.

    They used "they" when referring to a person, and "it" when referring to a process (the author used "he" when referring to a process calling another process, when he should have used "it.")

  • I've seen some inclusive tech docs in which they (ha!) use "she" instead of "he" or "they." I thought that was cool.

    Are people writing "she" instead of "they" misogynistic and transphobic too?

  • People don't need to build model trains either.

    The project started as a hobby. People can do what they want with their free time.

    TIL Washing your hands with plain soap is probably better than using antibacterial soap in the long run
  • I'm curious enough to continue the conversation, if only because talking about definitions is interesting. So I'm not being confrontational, I actually want to have a discussion.

    You say that all soaps are antibacterial because the result in the end is that no bacteria remains on the hands. I see what you're saying there. But anti-bacterial soap kills the bacteria, including the remaining ones that couldn't be removed.

    That's like saying that removing a group of humans based on ethnicity from a region, without killing them, amounts to genocide. Would you say that's genocide too?* (And I know the comparison is extreme.)

    *I think I read somewhere that forcibly removing people from a region amounts to genocide, though. But you know what I mean...

    Sorry, Deutsch people
  • I think OPs point is that this "Frank" guy is still in your country's name.

    That's like saying there was a King Godzilla once, you get rid of him, and then call your country "Republic of Godzilla."

    I'm not saying you don't have a point. I just understand the parent poster's point too.

    How is Lemmy better than Reddit?
  • The irony is that I've been antagonized for looking for other examples of AI that are not related to LLMs. As in "lol LLMs are AI!!!!" and I have to reply with "yeah, I know that, but what other types are being used out there?" "just shut up with your anti-LLM stuff!"

    How is Lemmy better than Reddit?
  • Mindless negativity has arrived - at least in lemmy.world.

    I have some tech-related subscriptions, so I check those out every now and then, but they have few new posts. So when I browse the Popular section, oy...... corporations bad, climate change bad, war bad, economy bad. (Not saying it's not true, I just want a place I can browse and escape all that for five minutes.)

    And some users (even mods!) have an "all-or-nothing" attitude too, which is infuriating because they won't drive me away from the cause, but they may drive away others with less patience.

    For example, I say "I support the blue color. Now, I wonder, if metallic blue with a purple hue is really a true blue? And how? Trying to learn. Just curious..." and then someone says "YOU JUST OUTED YOURSELF AS A BLUE HATER!!!!!!"

    What the fuck happened to YouTube!?
  • Thank you for this. I watched the whole thing. It's undeniable that Raygun can do a lot of things I can't, but her performance paled in comparison with the other competitors. Three four times I got the goosebumps when the other competitors did truly amazing moves!

    what would happen if a rogue, earth-size planet ran straight into the sun? anything interesting?
  • Ok, let's see:

    1. The parent posted didn't mention relativity. Just that a planet was moving at a fraction of c, which is a specific amount (let's say, 10,000 km/s)

    2. Since the parent poster is talking about the sun, and how such a planet with such velocity could affect it (the sun), then it's easy to assume that the planet is moving quickly relative to the sun itself.

    So, the poster's question is equivalent to saying "if a feather collides with my body, it may do nothing. But what if the feather is super-super-super fast?! What would it do to my body??"

    You're wrong, simp
  • I guess if I had "fuck you" money, I'd just have an actual truck's exterior transformed into something that resembled the cybertruck, just for the ridiculousness of its looks. But you wouldn't catch me driving tesla tech.
