Read this in the voice of Samuel L. Jackson. 10/10. Would recommend.

You can always tell a Milford man

From just the name my mind instantly thought of the conflict as “conflict diamonds”, and I began to wonder what constitutes a conflict free boolean or integer.

If anyone wants to take a crack at writing up why primitives are unfortunate, and we should move on to new “conflict free data types”™ I will cheer you on!

Also, very interesting read about actual conflict free replicated days types. Cheers!

I only show communities I’m subscribed to explicitly in my feed. I also block users like it’s going out of fashion.

Anyone spamming things I don’t care for in my feed, trolls, rage baters, or just people posting shit I have no desire to interact with our think about on the regular.

I’m using Lemmy mainly as an aggregator for memes, cat pictures, sci-fi, comics, and the likes, and like to be able to browse it on the bus or similar without worrying about what might show up.

If it’s not for me, I’m most likely in the wrong community. If that’s not the case I just block the poster. Nothing personal, it just doesn’t jive with my desired experience for any number of reasons, so I just block it, ignore it, and move on.

Lemmy is for everyone, and I can’t expect all of them to want the same out of it as me, so I can’t, won’t, and shouldn’t do anything else about it.

My headcannon for a lot of those things is that it’s really hard to retcon earlier made statements and actions, so some times He can’t go with the sensible approach in order to get around it.

I decided long ago that Christmas and birthdays just wasn’t for me. Easy enough when I live alone.

I don’t decorate, don’t eat anything out of the ordinary, don’t dress up. It’s just a normal day, that passes without much ado. Hate is too strong a word, I just ignore it.

At least it’s not corn.

I believe the popular name of the genre is ebony corn.

Finally, a mankini for your phone!

It’s never too early to learn navigating drives and folders using the command line!

For the second part of your question, it wholly depends on your input language and keyboard layout.

As a Norwegian user I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than using the plain us keyboard.

Mind you Nordic QWERTY is fairly similar to most other QWERTY variants.

As for a tool, most people I know in a professional setting are at around 75-90 wpm, and never learned touch typing specifically. They just type, a lot, and repeatedly. There are many on-line typing trainers.

When it comes to programming, it’s not about typing quickly. Unless you’re churning out the most mindless of boilerplate it’s far more important to consider how to solve a task and why, then quickly shitting out lines of code.

Mind you this is all based on my experience, and your mileage may vary. Best of luck!

As someone who uses the æøå in their native tongue, please don’t. It makes the words sound awful.

I’m still annoyed with stargåte.

I simply chose to read it as that, as my head was not up for dealing with the letter soup that was the name.

I chose to read it as JCLDS-PCB, which didn’t help.

In Norway you could make good money as an antenna port removal person, essentially filling it with solder or some such, and making paperwork confirming it had been done.

If you had that piece of paper you didn’t have to pay licensing fees, as it was tied to the antenna port. Funnily enough most everyone with a top box used the scart for television, so it didn’t really make a difference.

Oi! Do you have a license for that tv stick?

Du you, by chance, hear it in a deaf accent?

That’s a matter of some debate.

With all the various neurodivergencies and ways people are wired differently, language comprehension or barriers, not to mention physical or mental handicaps, a video might very well be easier to help someone absorb the information.

I wholeheartedly agree it’s not for everyone, but it is certainly for someone, and the more ways available to consume and process information, the better for us all as a whole. At least when it comes to educational and unbiased content, which seems to be the intention of this YouTuber.

At least someone is making informative content in an accessible format without trying to get me to buy whatever is the brand of the month.

I’d much rather watch that than the videos that should have been a paragraph.

They know about the flaired base…
