You will never be able to get a suggestion past them because they’re always right and you’re always wrong.

I said similar in another comment. The Lemmy devs are the same.

Riker does look 10x better with a beard.

I really liked Jordan for a while. I even bought his book (12 Rules of Life).

But he seemed to go a bit mental at some point and I lost interest.

Then I read a massive blog post by one of his former colleagues that said he’d always wanted to establish a church and be a preacher. It all kinda fell into place and I realised he’d always been mental.

or 6 months in prison.

If it’s a first time offence and non-violent it’s more likely not going to be custodial. Even if it was anything under 12 months custodial will be suspended.

Especially with prisons as packed as they currently are.

I agree with the above but will add I’m a minor oddity in that I’ll find any excuse to give people hugs unless it’s formal.

I’m a very ‘huggy’ person.

I want a Japanese grandma. Maybe I could go and kidnap one someday.

Haha. Holy shit it’s a thing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Rosada

The very foundation of the Internet is fault tolerance. These blocks will have the effect of forcing people to use other methods. To reroute the block.

E.g. instead of verifying my ID I’ll simply use a VPN or visit a site that doesn’t have age verification.

Age verification was quite common in the late-90s for major porn sites. They’d ask for credit card numbers to prove your age. Which spawned a mass of programs to generate fake CC numbers to trick CC validation. At 16 and new to the Internet it was trivial for me to circumvent age-restricted content. I just visited non-age ID sites or used a CC faker.

This stuff will never work.

It will just make it a pain it the arse for users.

I don’t understand the obsession with rust.

run into the type of people that like it when software looks utilitarian and bland.

Pretty much 99% of programmers. Which includes me tbh. All of my early web admin panels were grey boxes. Grey everywhere! Thank god for Bootsrap.

I’m a programmer and I find dealing with other programmers frustrating and pointless if you discuss anything that’s not programming related.

They’ll happily discuss algorithms or language paradigms for hours but if you mention design, UI/X, marketing, etc they shut you down claiming some greater-technical reason for the feature.

Lemmy is a good, recent example. As part of being a web dev I’ve also done a lot of SEM. The devs have a Github issue for making readable URLs. They completely refused to consider it claiming other technical requirements for not allowing it. Any arguments outside the narrow technical reasons are discounted. So what if readable URLs will help people find the site through Google easier (because Google will better index the site). It breaks X feature and we don’t see a need. No discussion and no listening.

If devs don’t see a strict technical need for something they ignore it at best and at worst they insult you for being an idiot.

Hubris and ignorance make it a PITA to deal with them.

I’ve never seen it. I’m still not sure if they mean today made of or today with avocado on it.

N.B. I don’t go out.

Shut your haggis-hole Hamish!

Dandelion & Burdock is a popular drink with fish n chips in Northern UK. :)

What’s the point in commenting just to be a dick head?

I love the vibrant colours of that vomit.

It’s easier to Google “email regex [language]” and copy the first result from stack overflow.
