blockchain as a core technology isn’t user-friendly… it should be hidden, and you’ll never know when it’s doing interesting things. it was never going to revolutionise the world, but that doesn’t invalidate its usefulness in niche situations

… it shouldn’t be used for 95% of the garbage people have built with it - and for NFTs that’s more like 99%

that’s pretty much it… with the atproto/ap bridge it becomes a LOT more viable to interact across networks, and thus people can choose to move and use whatever platform they like, and that helps to solve the critical mass problems that we have in the fediverse

absolutely this

youse and torlet

I’m from Australia and I’ve started calling all groups of people yall because it’s gender neutral… very unaustralian term, and I love so much the irony of iconic southern terms being used to support trans activism

the way people use NFTs with art are certainly absurd, but even the core technology of NFTs is actually excellent

a gift, or a test?

Hmmm I mean I guess we’re a very big country for our population so maybe the mining and interstate rail overwhelm the metro and Sydney-Melbourne networks… I’m just surprised it’s by more than 80%

that’s not at all the intention of the comment - simply that when i make a comment directly related to my personal sex life, you’re aware that there are no women involved, thus the comment eliminates misogyny from the equation in that specific case. i’m sorry for not being clearer on that. i’ve added an edit to my comment so that it’s more apparent

believe what you want, but as a gay man (i say this so you’re aware that there’s no misogyny involved edit: and by which i mean my personal sex life does not involve women so gender does not come into play in this specific situation), i’d never date someone where sex was off the table… i wouldn’t force it on anyone of course, but we fuck or we break up - sex is too important for my mental health to deny myself

the comment isn’t saying women can’t make their own decisions… the comment is saying that the guy wants to have sex, and if he can’t then they’re incompatible partners right now… women are allowed to make choices about their bodies, and men are allowed to make choices about activities they’d like to have in their lives

the reply comment implies that he only thinks about using a woman for sex, which is not what he’s saying at all

another example would be if 1 person wanted to live in the city and the other wanted to live in a farm: likely a deal-breaker, just like not having sex

soooo does the difference between x-handed and x-handed 20% multi-track mean that the x-handed colouring has >80% single lane tracks?

i live in australia (left-handed), and… that seems… implausible

the rust devs wanted to CREATE official structure definitions that don’t exist in C so that there was more semantic meaning to the APIs

i like how you call a dictionary definition simply “my” definition… if you’d like to learn more about the english language, i suggest you use a freely available dictionary website

it sounds like you don’t understand protest

normal /nôr′məl/

adjective

1. Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type; typical. “normal room temperature; one’s normal weight; normal diplomatic relations.”
2. Functioning or occurring in a natural way; lacking observable abnormalities or deficiencies. Relating to or designating the normality of a solution.

definition 3 is not relevant, but i assume you’d agree that none of those definitions that were listed have specific statistical meanings

normal is not a useful statistical term: it does not mean average in any way - mean, median, mode, etc… normal is, in a social context, more likely to be interpreted to mean “Functioning or occurring in a natural way; lacking observable abnormalities or deficiencies”, so i think you’d have to admit being described as “not normal” would piss some people off

please adjust your language

it serves the purpose to mock the request and make people think about the absurdity

in the same way that a request for a “white history month” should also be mocked - it’s just straight up trivialising the whole concept

it’s called accelerationism

there’s plenty of blame to go around; no 1, 2, or 3 people or groups are to blame

best we can hope for now is for netanyahu to bruise the orange ego somehow and find out what petty retaliation looks like

this is literally the exact kind of thing that chatgpt hallucinates. it’s not only not trustworthy, i’d bet on it being wrong

and then they continue to get <5% and trump gets another term… then what?
