That’s not the end of the chain either, right?

Because : int -> &int -> &&int

Or can you not use the address operator like that? It also might be int& &, I failed cs2200 on this exact type of technicality

Omfg we had the same chairs with it too? What is life

Super-dimension fortress peeps are great. I love everything about em!

Tor isn’t weird to me. I like that sdf is useable via tor as well.

PWA = Progressive Web App. It’s like an app/browser hybrid The rest of the lexicon that confused you is prolly just proper terms for frontends which you can read about here:

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

LW stays BEEG. I like owls. Kinda impossible to ever see em here tho. Thank you for your work and xp share

Those are some omega-dope features. You have really sold me on Mbin. Thank you for the federation clarity too

I’m in a very similar place with AI and Big Tech. I restrict my LLM use to ZdotAi. It seems much more sustainable and ethical in general. I’m consistently impressed with it’s performance too.

The big tech hooks are in deep for many, but I refuse to abandon hope

BritBong shots fired from across the pond

How do you say worcestershire? My folk say ‘Wor-shu-sh-tire’ or ‘wor-shu-sh-ter’

Ahh, this is the wacky simples I was needing. Also dope gif!😁

it worked. it worked thus far. I have not fully reviewed everything but I already know this ducktape will fall off eventually just wait for the next update😅

I had an intense ricing obsession way back when, and I have sadly sold my colorscheme soul to the solarized math wizards. You now have me exceptionally curious about a mathematically superior semitransparentj-specific solarized theme 🤔

I love dbzer0! What particulars did you find weird? I strongly relate with your ‘nothing disagreeable and like-minded fit’ take.

I completely forgot Mlem but it’s been on the backlogs for a min. Sad to hear your FF struggles. I did have some extension struggles with lemmy so I fully concur your frustrations.

I greatly admire the disengage policy and see it as an authentic tool of liberation and community harmony. I can only applaud seeing it’s influence grow and branch out. I fully respect your original implementation of the policy as well. May I inquire what lead you to your adherence to it? Have you simply always had something similar and has it changed much since your initial conviction toward it?

I code on an rooted Galaxy Tab A9+ in Termux why do you hate yourself? j/k apparently tablets are packing serious heat now. We really overspec everything now and my old ass will never get use to it…

Do you have a god-tier .vimrc or nahh?

least likely to fold in a month when the group running it realize that spam/bots/costs need to be taken into consideration. Well put. Fediverse rarely lacks in enthusiasm, but a zoomed-out macro perspective seems to often get drowned out by the hype and ambitions in general.

+1 for the phone exclusion. I’m trying to get better about it, but the habitual aspect is tough to shake. Instance options are a real treat, but I advise most to let their preferred options arise naturally. Eventually something will call you toward it, and the motivation will manifest itself. One of those things thats closer to a ‘let the universe come to you’ kinda things imho Best of luck

The fewer identifiers the better. I did not know reddthat had this feat, but am genuinely glad to hear it. Good ol’ days indeed—we really didn’t know how good we had it. Perhaps we are still in the tail-end of the good ol’ days

Browser solidarity! C reigns supreme, but don’t make me do pointer arithmetic. I’d rather do pointless long-division lol What’s the preferred ide for C these days? I’m the ‘compile and run inside nvim instance’ kind of goober

Tesseract and Photon preference is very cool.

Concerning the piefed avoidance, would you be interested in a fork that removed toxicity amongst other direct hardcoded stuffs? All the joys of the tech without any of the previous baggage, yeah?

Could I get some details on that PS? What happened?

I would receive such a description with nothing but respect and appreciation!

I really don’t mean to insist on splitting hairs or further complicate matters. Others are getting involved and I seem to have perturbed more than a few with what I’ve already said. I admit, I am absolutely an insensitive brute that really must learn to do better, tho I hope I’m still allowed to ask for help and clarity. Any feedback that isn’t too degrading is most welcome.

I’m obviously not great at expressing things, so I did wish to try an answer to your question(sry for delays; am hardstuck at long workdays) for my own development on top of what I hope is an obvious respect for you and your contributions/work.

The main missing point for me was why/how specifically does the removal of the ‘profit drive’ alone stop the ‘need drive’ from expanding in its place? If a socialist state is trying to meet the advancing needs of its substantial population, the material requirement constantly grows. What is the specific mechanism that forces a socialist planner to say, “No, we cannot provide this new advancement to everyone because the mining required would cross our ecological limits”? It seems like whatever forces the planner to restrict consumption to stay within physical boundaries is, by definition, an act of degrowth, no?

When the state decides that green infrastructure is a pressing need, what forces the planner to say “No, we must limit this specific project because the physical cost to the local watershed is too high”? Without that limiting principle, it seems like the planner just approves the massive extraction anyway, just with better intentions than a capitalist. I don’t mean to make this only about scaling back green infra tho. Just providing a baseline standard for many largely populated regions/areas would already exceed the carrying capacity.

Again, I feel I am merely questioning your optimism further, but the answers I don’t have might be the only reason I stick to my moderately conservative preference. I do strongly hope my pessimism is most wrong. I guess you could say I do ultimately wish to be converted. Politics is more religious than religion itself some times lol

PS: Apologies for my previous comment which seems to be removed. I don’t remember what I said, but I am sorry for any grievances caused—Please advise if there is anything I can do to reconcile/be forgiven
