you responded to a comment, not to OP :)

It’s not a nitpick for me but a relevant clarification to distinguish between two very different words.

crowdsource, not crowdfund. One is sharing the work, the other is sharing the cost.

:/

About fucking time… But knowing our corrupt overlord fucks, they will just use matrix.org free service and conclude “it’s not responsive enough, whelp, we tried…”

I only read the linked summary, and I was referring to a quote where he explicitly referenced rape in a civil war scenario, that’s not a word I made up for something consensual with a teenager.

Sorry but by the article linked above, he whatabouts rape of teenagers with “but they were not children”. He may have done a lot of good for free software, but this is not a single poorly worded comment - these kinds of statements can be found by the dozen. And that means he is mentally unwell / mentally damaged to consider them acceptable.

On the power outside the atmosphere I didn’t comment because I was too lazy to look it up, the and I knew the number of the previous commenter was in the ballpark.

Regarding the surface: my apologies, I quoted a number from university that must have been a simplification for a calculation exercise, and I made the mistake of never thinking about it critically. Turns out I was wrong.

Edit: solar radiation is only 1.3kw/m2

Outside earths atmosphere. Only ~650 Watts/m^2 reach the surface of our planet.

Edit: I posted regurgitating some simplified assumption from a text book or something I must have read in the past, the 650 W/m² is wrong.

That is a really accurate and helpful observation. Thank you :) (I mean it, unironically)

You are arguing against a strawman. Never have I said in this whole thread debuggers were useless. I made a point to say they are absolutely not essential, and for multithreading issues they can be detrimental.

Yeah you are probably right. Being able to install (or even execute) your own software would expose all those sweet security loopholes in their network to a talented hacker.

If I can’t install cygwin, a C++ compiler and an editor of choice, then it is useless. But I was assuming (probably too naive) this would be possible.

I have honestly no idea what you mean by “anti-cross platform” or “negative platform”.

If the mother country wasn’t going full on Nazi, as someone who wouldn’t install Windows on anything in my household, I would unironically have used that to test cross-platform-compatibility of my software. Although last time I was looking for renting a VM only for a week or two.

But fuck this, I will no longer care about Windows compatibility.

Would that really be worse? Considering they are using an fucking image-to-text-converter… I don’t think it would. Also, regular expressions rule :) just not in this context.

if anything, the code examples confirmed my belief that most python coders are fucking morons.

It was today years old when I realized I am a console lover. Mind blown.

whoa nice! Thanks!

For people trying to configure that in mozilla (I am trying to get away from it but for now :/)

• -> Edit -> Settings -> Search
• “Search Shortcuts” -> Add (to add a search engine)
• “Search Engine Name”: DuckDuckGo Lite
• “URL with %s in place of search term”: https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=%25s (this has to be =%s, lemmy keeps mutilating that to =%25s everytime I save my post)
• “Keyword (optional)”: @ddgl (or pick whatever you like - it appears @ddg is hardcoded and gets refused)
• -> Save Engine
• scroll up to the top, “Default Search Engine”
• from the dropdown list, select “DuckGuckGo Lite”

Done.

Our system (in the end it’s the same no matter where you are) is so fucked up :/ Kids need to learn empathy and selflessness as the most important school subject.
