I judge whether a summer was ‘proper’ or not based on the condition of Adelaide’s rail network - if the tracks didn’t buckle under the heat (this is not a metaphor, it happens) at least once - it wasn’t really summer that year :P

I think you mean systemctl runasanotheruseristhisverboseenoughyet

No you see, my fear of this is why I’ll never ever go to the gym.

I think it’ll largely depend on how bad it is per individual, but in my case, (one eye is perfectly fine the other was already so bad that corneal cross linking* wouldn’t be helpful) it’s pretty bad, I guess to give an idea, imagine playing VR with one eye uncovered, but the other with 2-3 copies of the image trying to fight for focus.

Life itself is fine, since the optic nerve is pretty amazing, unless I close my good eye, I don’t even really notice it. But for some reason this just doesn’t quite translate over into VR.

*Basically scratching a grid pattern into your cornea then flooding everything with vitamin B and UV - the idea being that it forms a strong matrix that resists the changes to cornea shape.

I wish I could, hopefully some day.

Keratoconus sucks, but theoretically, with a full scan of the eye and appropriate distortion shaders, I think it could be countered. (this doesn’t yet exist AFAIK)

Imagine the discovery phase! (or don’t, yuck)

The excuse we get in Australia for why Labor have to do everything exactly the same as how the Liberal Party would do it, is that if they don’t, they won’t get elected and the Liberal Party will get in instead and do all of exactly the same things, but with a different banner.

Time for some new actual centre-left/left/far-left politicians. ‘Drain the Swamp’.

Corporations support whichever way the wind is blowing. They don’t care about ethics, they care about money.

For a long time in the western world, diversity was considered good PR, so that’s what they did. It builds up as corporations compete with each other to be the most diverse, the most as you might call it ‘woke’.

Now since the wind in the US is blowing the other way, some western corporations are following suit, some will follow the EU’s lead and keep diversity but at a lower level.

I don’t think they can…

Time for some cheap Soy burritos for the Cyberpunk setting.

Try it with Lentils (until they’re too expensive too…)

It probably helps to understand ‘hamburger’ in this sense is very low quality minced/ground beef*

*might be ‘beef’

Seems like he thinks the shutdown is actually better for Trump-

One MAC might have multiple IP addresses.

You’re right that it’s unfortunate that one American entity gets to decide ipv4/v6 address space though.

Principles that Im referring to are e.g. abstraction and ‘divide and conquer’. IT exists to make things simple that would otherwise be hard (to put it simply). Why would you deliberately abstain from using an abstraction that makes API testing easier and faster?

We’ve gone well past that now though and are back into making pointless and unnecessary complications to differentiate products so ‘new solutions’ can be sold managerial types.

Adding a service that needs to authenticate adds more steps and more complication. It’s not making the task easier.

They zigged when we all zagged.

Decentralisation has always been the answer.

You love to hear the story, again and again,

Of how it all got started way back when,

The monument is right in your face,

Sit and listen for a while to the name of the place,

The World,

Lemmyworld.

Keep away from the trout!
