I think it’s a way for members of a plural collective to use social networks, while making it clear who is currently fronting.

It doesn’t wrap in the default web interface.

Windows also uses linefeeds, they just also add carriage returns.

I’ve been wondering why not window.chrome == true or Boolean(window.chrome), but it turns out that the former doesn’t work and that == has essentially no use unless you remember some completely arbitrary rules, and that JS developers would complain that the latter is too long given the fact that I’ve seen javascript code using !0 for true and !1 for false, instead of just true and false because they can save 2 to 3 characters that way.

Why the double negation?

Oh to see a medieval peasant’s face after reading them this headline.

I don’t see a reason to spell it phonetically when it is a real word (forge in esperanto). A phonetic spelling would also only be more digestible to readers who know the language the phonetic spelling is tailored at (phonetic spelling is language specific as different languages use different ways to represent different sounds).

ĝ is simply the english sound of the consonants in the following words: “john”, “gem”, “jar”. And j is pronounced as the y in “yes” and “yoink”

The diacritic would clear up confusion, because “g” without the diacritic has different sound (like the g in “gamma”, “girl”, “go” in english). The diacritic as a bonus would also makes it clear that it isn’t supposed to be pronounced it as if it were in english, because english does not use the ^ diacritic. It would also extinguish my annoyance at seeing a misspelled word being used as a trademark.

I hope that someday they decide to add the diacritic to clear up the confusion (Forĝejo (/forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is how it’s supposed to be pronounced). It’s 2024, there’s no reason we should be afraid of non-ASCII characters.

What kind of data does listenbrainz and last.fm store and what are they used for?

Also doesn’t display anything without javascript

And I’m pretty sure there are also jellyfish that live in symbyosis with algae that they carry along with them which photosynthesize, creating sugars for the jellyfish.

I don’t think ð was pronounced exactly the same way as thSeems like I was thinking of other languages where they were/are pronounced differently.

Comments are super useful but soooo overused

I think overusing comments is a non-issue. I’d rather have over-commented code that doesn’t need it, over undocumented code without comments that needs them. If this over-commenting causes some comments to be out of date, those instances should hopefully be obvious from the code itself or the other comments and easily fixed.

you’re not usually directly accessing/working on the hardware

I mean, you are. Sure, there’s a layer of abstraction when doing tasks that require the intervention of the kernel, but you are still dealing with cpu registers and stuff like that. Merely by writing in assembly you are making your software less portable because you are writing for a specific ISA that only a certain family of processors can read, and talking with the kernel through an API or ABI that is specific to the kernel (standards like Posix mitigate the latter part somewhat, but some systems (windows) aren’t Posix compilant).

Writing it in assembly would make it pretty much the opposite of portable (not accounting for emulation), since you are directly giving instructions to a specific hardware and OS.

Btw, what is a non-local RSS reader? I have come across multiple that RSS readers that advertise being “self-hosted” and I’m confused about that since in my mind RSS readers are simply clients that periodically query different servers for an .rss file, so I’m confused about where there is anything to host besides the host of the .rss feed.

What qualifications does such a job require?

I didn’t know who she was, so I just assumed it was true and that she was just another celebrity sponsored by a VPN company.

The hover-over text says “Disclaimer: I have not actually tried the beta yet. I hear it’s quite pleasant and hardly Hitler-y at all.”

echo and alias are both shell commands. If the shell is running (which it obviously still is), those commands should still work, as it does not involve reading data from disk, but from memory.

Edit: I just noticed the picture said cd was not found, which is also a shell built-in. So, I don’t know.
