Ah, so even though they’re (trying to) occupy the exact same plot of land, Israel is “the west” (and therefore we’re obligated to hate it) and Palestine is not (and therefore we’re not). That makes sense now!

if you (by which i mean you the reader, not OP) use linux for no other reason than to be able to tell people you use linux, kindly get the fuck out of my community
many posts on reddit literally are from karma farming bots though. predictable username pattern, repost from half a year ago with the exact same title that gets deleted exactly 24h later…
They’re also similar in that if you tell them you use Linux but like Canonical and/or Lennart Poettering they’ll yell at you and call you all sorts of names but if you tell them you’re a Windows user they’ll leave you alone
Every couple of years I think to myself “Ubuntu can’t be that bad, can it? I must be misremembering. Surely it’s just some combination of my memory exaggerating how terrible it was and my lackluster Linux skills, which have since improved. Everybody still recommends it as a beginner distro, right? Why’d I stop using it?”
And then I download Ubuntu.
And then I remember.
Microsoft realized they were losing basically the entire software development market to Linux so they started adding features like a pretty alright terminal emulator and a shell that almost looks POSIXcompliant if you squint (and don’t pass any flags to its built in commands) and trying ineffectually to hide the fact that they were basically on their knees saying BLEASE COME BACK WE NEED YOU
what kind of config file is short enough to fit on a single screen with line breaks?
Alright, the YAML spec is a dang mess, that I’ll grant you, but it seems pretty easy for my human eyes to read and write. As for JSON – seriously? That’s probably the easiest to parse human-readable structured data format there is!
Some data formats are easy for humans to read but difficult for computers to efficiently parse. Others, like packed binary data, are dead simple for computers to parse but borderline impossible for a human to read.
XML bucks this trend and bravely proves that data formats do not have to be one or the other by somehow managing to be bad at both.
yunno, on second thought, maybe i don’t want to be using a social platform where communism is the default stance
Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
i have a hard enough time finding places on lemmy that aren’t that
arguments are wasted on these people
do you think the US president has control over whether or not a ceasefire happens on the other side of the planet
I’d heard “everyone who disagrees with me is a bot” before, but I gotta say, “everyone who disagrees with me is an agent of the US federal government” is a new one.
SegaSammy glances around nervously
Well, if you were previously throwing anyone who ate the rice in the garbage, then yes, not doing that would be safe.
sorry, I ^couldn’t ^ resist. yes, it’s safe to eat rice without throwing out the first batch of water. see rest of this thread for nuance.
Where should Israel go back to then? What other land does it have claim to where it should stay?
Ah, right. Of course. You don’t think Israel should exist at all. Judging by this comment I’m guessing you don’t think the US should exist either, which means I don’t have to listen to you
Leftists often say that no one should have to justify their right to exist. Of course, they usually say it in regards to trans people and not cis white males, but they say it. And I kinda don’t want to justify my right to exist.
