Ooh, there’s a great Asimov short story about this! Victory Unintentional (1942)

Rettungsgasse. It means that the cars on the leftmost lane pull over to the left and all other cars move over to the right. That always creates enough space for an emergency vehicle to pass through.

Right, it oughta be at least 90°C to be nice and comfy

Well yeah, why would I learn html when I can learn React?!?

(/s but I actually did learn React before I had a grasp of semantic Html because my company needed React devs and only paid for React-specific education)

yeah, but only 50% of the time. The rest of the time I’m a Golden God who shall not be questioned by mere mortals

Oooh, I interpreted the questions as fishing for their answers to common password security questions haha

I’ve been on it for a bit over a year now and honestly, it’s just the new normal. Can’t really say I miss anything, and things like the separate profiles are pretty neat.

Although, I have bricked myself once by enabling developer settings and accidentally changing my language to a dev-only language that made the os crash on boot. But the Graphene Devs fixed it and unbricked my phone within a week after I posted the problem to the forum.

For the opposite effect, walk into a room with other naked people and an air temperature above 70°C. Suddenly it’ll be totally fine.

there is another option

…do you think I’m some kind of manager? Do you know what PR Review is?

lol you wish. You don’t know how many vibecoded bullshit PRs I have to review on a daily basis. AI is undeniably making developers worse.

I actually like sitting in the first few rows.

ugh didn’t you hear about the CVE affecting v1.2.823-1.2.967 though? Those hamsters had missing input validation which could be exploited to overflow the buffer size and execute remote inputs. Your router is basically toast at that point.

It was kinda nice to gauge how controversial a user tended to be. i.e. if someone had thousands of posts and comments but their total karma was basically zero, you could assume that they either just posted in very niche communities and noone saw their posts, or that they were a shithead who farmed downvotes regularly.
Actually now that I think about it, lemmy’s public modlog is a way better system for that haha

I do kinda miss having a total karma count. Not that it ever really meant anything, but number go up is fun

I think TickTick has that feature!

3rd Ice age? Pal, there are 5 Ice ages already, 6 if you count the Spinoff movie. And another one is announced to release on February 5th 2027

I really vibe with that first point! I don’t really like my name either, not because it’s a bad name but because it just feels like an arbitrary identifier. So I don’t feel any more connection to it than to my Tax-ID or my Gym membership number.
I mean I see why everyone needs to have a name, but I’d rather just … not? I don’t ever want to be referred to anyways, so why would I need one? Or like, if I need one I’d take one of those stereotypical Enby names, because at least it would be funny if people had to call me Rat or Brick or something.

Oh, and people who buy mugs and weird touristy paraphernalia with their name on it terrify me on an existential level
