When George W Bush was president they told everyone to shut up and listen. When Obama came to office they went wild with every single little thing.

They have no principles.

I always wonder about that because you need a lot of people to function in an “end of the world scenario”. It just feels like the ones that are doing the real work are the ones with the power in that case.

I think they’re stupid too. Going into an interview is already stressful enough and these types of questions don’t put me into “problem solving” mode. They put me into “brain teaser” mode which is a different type of thinking for me. You know how we nailed these questions when I was in uni? We traded them after our interviews between each other and you just had to pretend you’ve never heard it before. So the main thing people were testing was whether or not the question had made it to them.

For programming, there are so many better ways to test out of the box thinking to me … I think the “what happens when you press a letter into a web browser address bar” or something is better and at least relevant. One that I like is, “there’s an outage in production, how would you go about diagnosing it?” Then as an interviewer I’d reshape the scenario and see where they put their focus and where they give up.

I think I can see where you’re coming from in that way.

I’m not gay so I’m not as sensitive to these jokes. I am Asian, however, and I dislike “Uncle Roger” for what I think is similar to this. The butt of the joke is that Asian people speak funny. So I think it’s similar to what you’re saying. The butt of the joke is that it’s embarrassing to have a gay relationship.

I can only speak for myself in detecting homophobia and I’m not always the best judge. I don’t want to deny your experience either, I’ll just say what I’m seeing:

There were leaks earlier that someone texted about Trump gave a blowjob or something to someone called Bubba. Then people speculated it was either Bill Clinton or even the nickname of a horse (I think people were just reaching for extremes in the memes).

Assuming the leak was real and person that sent the message was real and that Bubba was the nickname for Bill Clinton. I think people are just putting out fakes of the evidence of that?

I don’t see anyone saying it’s not “manly” to be gay or that being gay is undesirable?

Like I said, if I twist myself a bit a little too I think I can see the “haha gay people” angle. I just don’t think I see it, maybe it’s because I would like to think homophobia is so played out I would think they’d make a better joke or that secretly gay politicians is so common now.

That doesn’t mean you’re wrong though for sure, just because I can’t see it doesn’t mean the author’s intent isn’t there.

A truly jaw dropping moment.

There’s a lot of heated statements in here but I don’t see the homophobia in this post unless there’s more context. In this isolated post, it seems like they’re just extending the Epstein release about “Bubba”.

I won’t take away from anyone who finds it offensive though. You’re completely right to feel that way.

I want to be a maintainer and help out but I just know it’ll be exhausting. I swap languages/projects all the time. I was on the DB (OLAP), architecture, GenAI and DevOps teams just this year alone. The context switching is really bad. I still would like to contribute but I’d want to pick a project that I used semi-regularly and it’s hard to identify when I’m so scatter-brained :/

I think even if you get Prime you still get ads unless you pay an extra monthly fee.

Shows you the type of people that are on Lemmy.

“stop defending corporations”

It’s like we hate the corporation too but they’re correct in this instance.

Some people say you can buy the tokens instead of a monthly subscription. They’re not as openly offered as they get more cash from monthly obviously.

The Caesar salad was created in Tijuana, Mexico, in 1924 by Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini at his restaurant, Caesar’s Place. The salad was a hit, particularly with American tourists escaping Prohibition, and quickly gained fame, spreading to Hollywood and beyond.

Ah yes, any time Trump is offended he calls people “nasty” and horrible people and all that shit. When he offends others, it’s a privilege …

If it’s McDs, there’s no lettuce on a cheeseburger right?

Or am I taking this too seriously.

Me too. I bought the first quest before Facebook acquired it. Now that Facebook/Meta own quest and stuff … I’ve been staying away from VR for now.

I’ll definitely be doing my best to get one as soon as it’s available. Everything about it sounds hype.

The post is rather thin, but I was initially upset about this post because I can’t read.

I was like: I’m going to drink hot water whether you like it or not! Took a while for my brain to process “hot tap water”.

Futurama:

<TV turns off>

Leela: Look I know there are no car chases but this is important. One of these two men will be president of the world

Fry: What do we care? We live in the United States

Leela: The United States is part of the world

Fry: Wow, I have been gone a long time

That was a brutal watch seeing her near the end …

Some say you don’t need it, but I personally use this plugin: https://github.com/jeffreytse/zsh-vi-mode

but I also use this: https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting for syntax highlighting and it makes it more readable too.

I’ve always liked vim but one thing that I really loved about it was when I started using vim mode in zsh.

Being able to just navigate through commands in my terminal and easily highlight and edit and all that … it’s so good.
