I feel weirdly drawn to learning kotlin.

You ladies haven’t been with a real man yet! Like my boyfriend! 🥰
I understand what you’re saying, but especially on this side of the Atlantic it feels like there haven’t been any consequences for most of his coconspirators and nothing has been done to prevent it from happening.
Bilb!@lemmy.mlto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•The Lemmy userbase isn't much better than that of Reddit.English13·2 days agoI’m sure it’s already been said a few times, but with few exceptions Lemmy/mbin/etc. users ARE redditors, or recently former redditors who, for historical and practical reasons, are more likely to be interested in
- Open source software
- Alternative social web
- Privacy
- Left wing politics (especially early on)
While that applies to me to varying degrees, I must acknowledge that it means we’re probably sometimes going to be difficult and slow to assume good faith. I try not to be that way, it’s the only thing I can do. I think the left wing politics/parapolitics is better than the usual right wing variety that was common on other reddit alternatives, but that’s my bias.

I am mostly joking but the constant whining about “tankies” is crazy.
Bilb!@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•Hands-on with the Retroid Pocket 6; The 8GB Sweet Spot (my own article/interview!)English3·3 days agoI got a 5 when they were new, and I have been in love with it ever since. I’m sure the 6 is even better. I had been considering getting a 6 for the extra RAM for PC emulation, but, well… Not an option anymore. I’ll probably play games on the 5 until it falls apart. Not that I expect it to fall apart any time soon, mine is in great shape.
I also got the optional second screen for DS/3DS games. It works! Makes the whole thing more bulky and hard to carry with you though, so it’s not common that I actually use it so far.
I don’t think anything Epsein et al were doing has stopped, unfortunately.

Bilb!@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•From F-Droid to emulators, here's who's hit hardest by Android's new verification rulesEnglish16·14 days agoJust in time for them to be practically outlawed, if my gut can be trusted. I hope not.
Bilb!@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification SupportEnglish1·14 days agoIn your hypothetical, this field not being present in systemd does not do much to protect you. Its not as if they’ll stop when they hear that there isn’t already a user age field in systemd and figure at that point that the whole endeavor is simply impractical and abandon it.
So let’s imagine they pass a law in the US that says by 2030 all consumer devices must attest a user age group (or even specific ID) to connect to the Internet and that this must be enforced by the ISP (with the development of new protocols, what have you). If there’s no mechanism with which to do this in systemd or anywhere else using Linux… they’ll still pass the law. I don’t think making desktop Linux defacto illegal for people to connect to the internet with would be a hindrance.
If they really do go to that extreme, things are pretty dire. We’d be lucky to be allowed to use Linux at all on internet connected PCs. Savvy people will find ways to do it anyway, sure… But man, like I said: dire.
All this is to say that I don’t think code is the place to be focusing on to resist these potential changes to the law. I think it’s just about irrelevant.

It’s public knowledge that most of the bots on the platform are intentional to maintain the image that the site is super popular still
I’m not saying you’re wrong and I know many people assume that, but is there a clear source for this?
Bilb!@lemmy.mlto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: The US massacred hundreds & raped children as young as 12 in one day. Only one perpetrator was convicted and only received three years of house arrestEnglish7·17 days agoYeah, and those were “woke” wars according to the psychos in charge now.
Bilb!@lemmy.mlto Political Memes@lemmy.world•The United States is the biggest destabilizer, through bombing, of world peace so far this centuryEnglish3·17 days agoI’ve seen it said that it’s sorta like the liberal version of the word “woke,” and sometimes that seems right.
Whenever I look at it, it just looks “comfortable.” I’m most familiar with C#, and I’m interested in some of the type features of Kotlin that are not yet a part of C#.
