For me it’s some kind of cartoon with the caption “Best comic funny 🤣” and sometimes “funny short film” (even though it’s a picture)
Like, Meta has to know this is happening. Do they really think this is what will keep their userbase? And nobody would think it’s just a little weird?
Too little (probably), too late. The platform has been taken over by bots with AI slop and forwards from Grandma and that’s damn near all that shows up in my feed anymore. I really hope Bluesky catches on
Uh, yeah?
Also like… That’s probably the only time you’ll see sympathy over neurodivergency from the people saying that
Very cool. I would love to check out that part of the world one day. Congrats on the find! I may be in a different financial situation in the US, but I still LOVE a good bargain driven by luck.
May I ask which country you’re in?
How about Gulf Cart?
No machine can read my chicken scratches! Or human, for that matter. Including myself.
In all seriousness, this sounds intriguing but I couldn’t tell you what I’d use it for. When I write with a pen it’s usually a couple quick basic notes. Anything more involved and my typing skills are way better
$30 billion company want**'**s

Also, they should be clear that it’s $5 per month
Sorry, but if you’re capable of signing a $44 billion contract and the other party has a reasonable expectation that you’ll be able to produce that $44 billion, you’re capable of doing the same steps as someone who wasn’t “joking”. There is no “lol jk” exceptions in contracts.
And honestly, with everything he’s doing now with Xitter and influencing public policy, I believe he knew exactly what he was doing and the “joke” and “uh oh I didn’t mean it!” was part of that
public boolean isMale() {
return !isFemale();
}
public boolean isFemale() {
return !isMale();
}
I am friends with nobody here, even if someone was sympathetic.
I am, in fact, a programmer (old enough to have not learned any language as a child) and am well-aware that “!” means not in many languages. I also have enough self-awareness to realize that not everyone would make that connection, and figured someone may have hit the symbol button on their phone keyboard instead of shift and hit “!” instead of “A”. Somehow that seemed more plausible than “assume everyone knows programming syntax, even in a place like Lemmy, and choose to use that”
Fun fact: my job has made me dabble in a system so old and archaic, it uses “'” (single-quote, to save you a squint) as the “not” operator. “!” is used for newline.
Wat? I made one comment replying to one word in which a letter was replaced with an exclamation point. I wanted to be sure I didn’t misunderstand anything before I said too much. Where did I claim to be smarter than anyone, and what evidence did I make to the contrary?
If that was a typo for America, and you are trying to say you’re American, you’ve got at least one thing in a prior comment that’s a dead giveaway that you are not.
For sure. And Elon would just shit talk the aliens, pass along misinformation about them on Xitter, and we’d get zapped after finding it it was possible when we first learned of them.
We went from first flight to landing on the moon in less than 70 years, and are worlds ahead of where we were then. I totally get that we wouldn’t be able to leave tomorrow, but in the “could be minutes, could be centuries” scenario it’s hard to imagine the answer being more than 70 years starting now, and that’s what I’m curious about
One thing I’ve always wondered: let’s say we NEEDED to go to the moon right away, even if it meant taking a few safety shortcuts. Like, aliens landed there and demanded a face-to-face meeting before they destroy our planet and we don’t know how long they’ll wait for us (could be minutes, could be centuries, but who wants to find out?)… What’s the fastest we could, in theory, get there?
I don’t think that’s as common as you think it is. Most Windows users see Windows as part of the computer, a tool to get the job done. As a DIY’er (basically a tool normie) I don’t brag about the supremacy of my Kobalt tools, I just drill the damn hole
