"Well what about that tattoo on your chest? Doesn't it say 'Die Bart, die'?"

"No! That's German for 'The Bart. The."

For that matter, why is waist size a Boolean?

Not quite this, but I did have a validation team that didn't know when to quit.

The project was a Windows service, and they would be constantly opening bugs saying "program crashes when we deleted xxxxx.dll"

Like... Yeah. If you delete necessary libraries from the installation directory, the program won't run correctly.

Isn't it too late for it to matter? At this point, she's on the ballots that she's on, isn't she?

Especially for states like Oregon that are primarily vote by mail. I already have my ballot, and Stein withdrawing won't keep people from voting for her

My first guess: it's someone who complained on GitHub about unoptimized queries and didn't get the response they wanted. Of course I would expect them to be attacking lemmy.ml in that case

My conspiracy theory: it's someone paid by a marketing firm on Reddit's payroll, while probably not under direction from Reddit, they're working to further Reddit's goals

Most likely: it's some kiddie who got banned from .world and wants to show everyone how mad he is

What exactly are they arguing over? I probably shouldn't ask, but I've been fortunate enough to not encounter any of this controversy on my social media

This was hashed out pretty thoroughly in that thread.

The initial concern over the password being stored in plaintext was shown to be a mistaken assumption, and it was made clear that this kind of email doesn't happen anymore, it's an outdated problem.

No need to keep the discussion going past that, is there? Much less spread it around?

No I'm in my 40s

The mods that updated for the first update were already updated within 24 hours of the next one.

The only mods that are still broken now are mods that were made and maintained by people who have stopped playing the game some time ago.

And even most of those still work, if they didn't rely on the script extender

Nobody wants to participate in a disconnected discussion. We have multiple instances with bots that do precisely what you're saying, and they just flood the feed with posts that people won't engage with.

Nobody wants to have a discussion about a reddit post. Nobody wants to have a discussion about a hackernews or slashdot post. If Lemmy just looks like a place to mirror Reddit content, people will see that and just go to Reddit and engage directly.

We need more people posting to Lemmy. If this is just a place for bots to have discussions with themselves, nobody will stay here very long.

I would much rather they have the mute button. Put them in soundproof booths so he can't talk over her when it's not his turn.

KOLOS: You didn't believe all Klingons were soldiers?

ARCHER: I guess I did.

KOLOS: My father was a teacher. My mother, a biologist at the university. They encouraged me to take up the law. Now, all young people want to do is to take up weapons as soon as they can hold them. They're told there is honor in victory – any victory. What honor is there in a victory over a weaker opponent? Had Duras destroyed that ship, he would have been lauded as a hero of the Empire for murdering helpless refugees. We were a great society, not so long ago. When honor was earned through integrity and acts of true courage, not senseless bloodshed.

From ENT: Judgement

I say we lose the entire Crowder meme format. The "change my mind" bit was from one of his stunts, and this is just keeping it alive longer

There's still many other meme formats that send the same message, we don't need to sully Calvin's image by associating it with a Crowder stunt

I agree that Crowder shouldn't be a meme.

I also think that his meme "Change my mind" shouldn't live on through Calvin. We can get the point across without keeping any of the Crowder-created bits.

How is it that the general response to this debate is "Trump rambled nonsensically and told conflicting lies and wants to undermine democracy, but Biden was recovering from a cold, so he's unfit."

Like in what world are these issues comparable?

I kept thinking "bump key" which is a tool for bypassing locks

It's the only photo I've ever seen of him

He of course looks like Calvin's dad

I'll say it.

In spite of everything we saw in Discovery, Michelle Yeoh was always a delight, no matter which character she played

If we got more of her, regardless of the rest, I'll enjoy it

You're all talking about the Crocs, but nobody is mentioning the mayor's footie pants
