Aww, the poor turtle is trying their very best.

You seem to be implying an argument based on Modus tollens:

  1. If AI is the chief US innovation, then the US is massively fucked.
  2. The US is not massively fucked.
  3. Ergo, AI is not the chief US innovation.

Well I disagree with the premise 2:

The US is massively fucked.

With that, no conclusion can be gained from premise 1.

Nope, I did not and even though I am a fairly active lurker, I only read about it after my question here. I guess that makes me lucky.

Well I do know of a certain maid that would probably be eager to help find out how capable of reproduction they are.

Yea expats are foreign workers that intend to return home after some time. While immigrants are looking to stay.

I still maintain that there is some ambiguity with "US expat" but I ain't no native speaker. So what do I know.

Unpopular opinion but proton works better than native games in many cases. Tbf I don't know about these titles in particular.

I would love it if devs would target proton / wine as a platform. Using familiar (to them probably) interfaces while optimizing for the use with proton, e.g. using Vulkan instead of DirectX.

I think that is actually happening with devs targeting the steam deck

I don't understand, will you be an American that temporarily lives and works in another country?

Or will you live and work in America temporarily?

In the latter case: why choose the us?

In the former case: Why only temporarily leave the US?

You probably have a skewed impression. This is common in some places like Germany, but it's far from the norm. (Even in Germany it's mostly telecom that does it for some reason.)

Many ISPs only change the allocated IP only in cases like lost connections and some don't even do that giving out but not guaranteeing static IPs.

Also remove private messages when banning user with “remove content” (goodbye Nicole) #5414

Is there some history? Who is Nicole?

Bias will always remain. I mean what would it even mean to be absolutely unbiased.

There is no such thing as an unbiased text corpus.

The only way to make Rust segfault is by performing unsafe operations.

Challange accepted. The following Rust code technically segfaults:

fn stackover(a : i64) -> i64 {
    return stackover(a);
}


fn main() {
    println!("{}", stackover(100));
}

A stack overflow is technically a segmentation violation. At least on linux the program recives the SIGSEGV signal. This compiles and I am no rust dev but this does not use unsafe code, right?

While the compiler shows a warning, the error message the program prints when run is not very helpfull IMHO:

thread 'main' has overflowed its stack
fatal runtime error: stack overflow
[1]    45211 IOT instruction (core dumped)  ../target/debug/rust

Edit: Even the compiler warning can be tricked by making it do recusion in pairs:

fn stackover_a(a : i64) -> i64 {
    return stackover_b(a);
}

fn stackover_b(a : i64) -> i64 {
    return stackover_a(a);
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", stackover_a(100));
}

I feel like Broccus would be a badass name for a dog.

 

Sometimes I want to hide some posts when I've seen them too many times. Unfortunately Everytime I try to I get the error message "unable to hide post". Am I doing something wrong?

 

I hope this is a good place for this. A few weeks ago I started a simple experiment: Block every community in the All feed that is about the US election in some way.

I thought this up after a thread about the Biden debate, as someone kindly (not really kindly) informed me that I should curate my own experience here. I thought about it and realized just how much election/politics stuff there is on the front page. It was quite hard blocking communities I like, especially 196 on blahaj.

Now the quality of my feed did go up in some ways but it's very slow. I also realized that I am feeling a lot less rage/anger than before when scrolling lemmy. I didn't even realize how much the constant political stuff from another continent affected me...

What is your opinion on this? Is Lemmy really filled with too much US political rage bait? Should I continue with my zero tolerance policy?

It would also interest me to hear an American perspective. Is there more or less politics here, on other platforms or real life. How does rage/hate affect you when scrolling through Lemmy and does it take a toll?
