I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as iOS, is in fact, EU/iOS, or as I've recently taken to calling it, EU plus iOS. iOS is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning EU/iOS system made useful by European Union regulations forcing the ability to offer alternative app stores, browser choice, more control over default apps…

We've went all the way back to having to tell people to not feed the trolls, except now they feed them literally.

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED BUT REPULSIVE", "WRONG BUT WROMANTIC", "FREQUENTLY MISUNDERSTOOD", "NOBODY BOTHERS WITH THIS BIT", "SHOULDN'T REALLY BUT WE WON'T JUDGE", "REQUIRED IN ORDER TO WORK AROUND EVERYONE ELSE'S BUGS", "YOU DO YOU", and "OBVIOUSLY ABSURD BUT VERY COMMON FOR SOME REASON" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

@BrodieOnLinux the titles thing has been annoying me for some time now. No way to tell YT "I speak both Polish and English, fuck off", I get to choose between English titles garbage translated to Polish or Polish titles garbage translated to English.

Google posing itself like some i18n gurus is as ridiculous as Facebook posing itself like some bug-free UX gurus.

@KarchWrites inaccurate, "the thing you want" is way too far up. It needs to be randomly sprinkled between 20 SEO spam cancer results.

@nixCraft you know what, that's probably a good idea. Your downwards slope of radicalisation from a humorous Linux page admin to a raving misguided activist on this network is sad to watch and did a large part in convincing me that I shouldn't recommend joining the fediverse to my more emotionally vulnerable friends.

@foone having 0° be the exact temperature of water freezing and 100° water boiling isn't obviously positive? Knowing from a glance how slippery I can expect outside surfaces to be and how much my exposed skin will hate me is very useful. Cooking/brewing temperatures expressed in "this much above/below boiling point" is a nice bonus.

It's gonna be real annoying to be a programmer once we've invented time travel, what with the future selves showing up all the time demanding answers.

Mainly about what the code does, how it works, why did you do it this way, why is this breaking this way, help me debug it, and so on.

I took @nixCraft's 'No NAT November' challenge and switched my network to IPv6-only! :blobcat_thisisfine:

@silverfish @BrodieOnLinux @liamolua apparently they're doing some shady stuff to try to force devs to not make their games cheaper on other stores, where the cut is lower. That's not how competition is supposed to work.

@dzwiedziu Dlatego lepszy sposób ma lewica, wyjebać wszystkich zanim zdążą zjednoczyć kogokolwiek jako wspólny wróg; rekurencyjnie bo po wyjebaniu wspólnego wroga znajduje się nowego w środku i potem mikroskopijne odłamy lewicy napierdzielają się między sobą a dookoła nich dzieje się realne życie i .populiści zaostrzają prawo aborcyjne.

Gratis otrzymujesz brak jakiegokolwiek kontaktu z przeciwnikami i ich faktycznym myśleniem i argumentami, co pozwala ci zatkać uszy i śpiewać "lalala faszyści" pomiędzy postowaniem że nie rozumiesz czemu oni radykalizują normalnych ludzi a wam to jakoś średnio idzie.

@wariat @mr_zvbr @m0bi

@wariat @mr_zvbr @m0bi no nie wiem, z tego co widziałem ich narzędziem jest, paradoksalnie, tolerancja. Lewicowe bańki dokonują mitozy średnio co parę miesięcy bo się wewnętrznie pokłócą a na różnicę poglądów reagują blokami i banami, tymczasem prawicowe przyjmą dosłownie wszystkich, w tym tych których uważają za zagrożenie dla cywilizacji, tylko najwyżej ich wyśmieją.

It's time to update a resource, can you guess which request type to use?

That's right it's a POST request! 😺

Uh oh, we need to go back and delete a record now. What do we use?

You guessed it, a POST request!

Now we need to query some tables using this RESTful API, I wonder what type of API call we need to make?

Astonishing, you guessed correctly it's a POST request 😄

@retr0id it says we're 90% of the way there in the text above the clock, some weird math error?

As good a day as any to remind myself that the way most of us has been taught the size of countries is misleading as hell.

very bad fedi software feature idea and likely wouldn't work, also im probably not the first one to think of this 

exile user

admin can forcefully migrate a user to a specific instance (including the blocklisted ones)
users can also vote to exile other users
the user could be exiled forever or for a specific time period after which they would be able to migrate back

would be very funny
