That’s amazing to me. So far apart but so lame together 🫶🏻

Bonza mate sounds pretty awesome by comparison, but maybe because I wasn’t bathed in it throughout my life…?

Nah, it’s awesome anyway.

Nope that was comment worthy without the other half.

However the second part is super rad in a way only people who grew up with the word “rad” can really understand. Or whatever the Aussie equivalent of 90s slang for “cool” would be.

I can understand this from an accessibility standpoint, but not from a laziness standpoint.

If your average schmuck gets one of these, their poorly-trained-at-best dog is going to either use it whenever it wants, or never use it at all, which just makes e-waste.

It would only really work for service dogs because of how well trained and well selected they are.

Growing up, our dogs were all fairly well trained, to the point that some of them formed a sled team, and not a single one of them would be a good fit for this lazybutton.

I definitely can’t.

I substantially reduced tp use, but female anatomy makes that level of frugality nearly impossible, at least without uncomfortably damp undies, in my experience. 😅

Best I managed before the swap was one 24 pack for a year. Still very good, but room for improvement :)

I also got a bidet, but then I went one further and got small towels to wipe up the water.

Pack of 50 cheap washcloths isn’t that much more than a pack of nice toilet paper, but they can go through the wash in a sanitary cycle with bleach and I can reuse them until they fall apart. Then I just need toilet paper for visitors.

It sounds kinda ick, I know, but consider that we wash underpants, and what’s the difference?

Considering the Aztecs developed hydroponic technology without other advanced technology, I could probably go back to the beginning of humanity with my knowledge, even if I only get to bring one skillset and not the whole of my knowledge. And boy would things change from there!

Is it weird that I have no memory of what tableware we used? Most of my childhood is missing from my memory actually.

“Why do you want this job/to work here?” “I’m just looking for something interesting to do for a while, get out of the house a bit. This sounds interesting enough.”

They hear: I don’t need a job, I may not need money, I may already have a job, I’m not picky about where I work so I’m probably not planning to stay, I’m likely to be weird or high maintenance, I’m very likely to move on quickly if I’m no longer entertained, and most importantly, I don’t need this specific job so I won’t take abuse of any sort.

This does work to land food service jobs, though, because they don’t really care. They gain and lose staff so frequently that if you just aren’t a complete shitshow you’ll get the job.

They don’t poop from what I recall.

But they don’t go anywhere when they die so you are covered with poop balloon corpses.

Oh, interesting. It’s applied externally.

I have shade tint on my big southeast picture windows that has a slightly mirror effect (I didn’t put it there, but oh man I’m glad it’s there), and birds slam into them all the time (there are lilacs in front and I assume the foliage looks deeper than it is). Fortunately they are slowing for landing when they do it so none have been seriously injured, but I’ve wanted a solution to the problem for a while without it looking like crap or removing the interior tint.

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, I appreciate it!

That makes sense as to why Mozilla would be developing rust, then, thank you :)

One last (probably) follow-up question - is the payment to those companies for support purposes, or is it a license to even use the language? Like if you write your whatever in one language and then decide to swap…… umm… service providers I guess (maybe MSP situation?), do you need to re-write your entire whatever to no longer use it, or do you just no longer have support for issues?

Excellent thanks, I’ll look into that, and thank you for the information :)

You say “we” which hints that you have (some?) experience in the field, do you have any insight as to why one would want to create a new language rather than just helping to refine an existing one or something? Do they end up too bloated or do they function inherently differently or some other thing I haven’t thought of…?

Interesting, thanks for the response, that gives me something to look for :)

And yeah, that last bit does rather sound likely ;)

I don’t think that’s true on a site like Lemmy, where you have a -lot- of hardcore techies interacting with non-techies and encouraging them to learn. And also just non-techies constantly exposed to info about tech. There’s so much tech stuff here it’s impossible to avoid.

As a direct result of being on Lemmy, I’m familiar with rust (vaguely, but I know there are projects to re-code stuff in rust, and that it’s supposed to be a more robust language for… reasons), and care enough to read about it when there are posts I can understand about it (my tech level is sort of… on the low end of intermediate) but I don’t know anything about how web browsers work, because it’s just never come up.

This makes me really curious in a way I’m not really sure how to search for (and I certainly don’t expect you to have an answer, but maybe someone does)…

How does one actually go about developing a new coding language? I assume it’s something that you need to…… translate to assembly in some way (I’m not advanced techie, but my understanding is that at core everything is assembly, and code languages are on top of that)? And what’s the purpose of developing more languages anyway?

Oof yeah I saw those comments in the wild…

I don’t blame them for dropping the banhammer considering their instance rules and how strictly they enforce them (even if I don’t necessarily agree with some of the enforcement).

Just put a wick in the jar you pour strained bacon grease into. I’m sure that would work.

Probably.

Hmm… now I’m wondering if it would…

Edit: internet says yes this does work.

Cool, the Russian version of Spirit Halloween!

When they all get out to swarm one person but leave the vehicle running, just get in, drive it several blocks away, and leave it there. :p
