Anti-dragon cream. Personal guarantee: if you’re incinerated you get your money back, no quibble.’
'What you’re saying,’ said Vimes slowly, 'if I understand the wording correctly, is that if I am baked alive by the dragon you’ll return the money?’

This is what it is called a programming language, it only exists to be able to tell the machine what to do in an unambiguous (in contrast to natural language) way.

From my experience all the time (probably even more) it saves me is wasted on spotting bugs and the bugs are in very subtle places.

To be fair, he provided instructions.

Very creative how Kaspersky used SEO to hide this story. When searching you have to exclude all of their sites to find it.

Thanks, the article was accessible for me so I thought it would be also for others.

If IPv6 is done right you don't even know you have it. If you use a cell phone or a home Internet, there is a high chance you are already using IPv6.

takeda ,

Sure, but my point is that if it is implemented right, you won't even know you're using IPv6 until you check network configuration.

Yeah, even if you support Israel, this is really in bad taste.

Unlike Hollywood movies, things aren't always black and white. It is quite possible that both sides are. Neither the Hamas nor Nethanyahu government are the good guys. Both sides try to exterminate the other side. Both sides also don't mind killing innocent people in their way.

It is a fucked up situation, and with recent developments it looks like it is turning into Israel's Afghanistan. Biden was right warning Nethanyahu to not make the same mistake at US did after 9/11.

Apologies, I misinterpreted the word "party" I thought it was a party in the conflict like Israel vs Gazans. And that Israel supporters don't see it as controversial.

If after 16 years you still have to be asked if you believe in crypto, then chances are that it is a scam.

Also to add that Raisin was groomed to take his place, and apparently the guy Raisi was grooming to take his was also in the helicopter.

Khamenei is 85 years old.

Zelensky: 'Our partners fear that Russia will lose this war' ( kyivindependent.com )

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine's partners "are afraid of Russia losing the war" and would like Kyiv "to win in such a way that Russia does not lose," Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent....

This is true. Russia saber rattling about using nuclear weapons, doesn't mean much. Putin knows this would not lead to victory and likely would end up with him losing power and likely life.

The scary time is what he will do when he will see his power slipping. Thankfully in 1992 Gorbachev managed to handle it peacefully. Hopefully when it happens it will end up similarly.

When you talk to Slovakians they say that his death would be one of the best things to happen to the pro putin movement, as this would make him a martyr.

I personally wonder how it will be as it looks like he survived and these news paint an interesting picture.

Read "Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America" it gives a real reason why this is happening.

That's how I understand Mastodon's meant to work. You have your instance like you do a mail server, then you have full control over it.

That's not true, in 2022 people weren't sure about, especially since there was a gossip that putin had cancer (now looks like it was likely spread by FSB)

We know now it was BS and just a strategy to let the West have him what he wants. putin's ultimate goal is to control Europe and Asia, and unless the West wakes the fuck up, he will achieve it.

He knows Russia has absolutely zero chance in conventional warfare with NATO, so that's what hybrid one comes in that includes disinformation, sabotage, destabilization.

I highly recommend book: The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America by Timothy Snyder which covers history of putin's Russia. The war already started over a decade ago, we were just sleeping through it.

takeda ,

What do you mean? It's Ukraine that is destroying Russia's refineries, to reduce the mobility of the Russian military. Why would you want them to stop defending?

takeda ,

Penis, got it!

I think this would be a great feature request: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues

I would definitively use it if it was implemented. Make it work like it is in GPG, where you can rank users based on your trust, and that is then propagated to others.

Yes, to me Tesla switched from the most desirable car to the least desirable one, exactly because he turned out to be a cunt.

Also in California I see more interest in other electric cars. There are tons of Teslas, but pretty much all new EVs (with temporary license plates) seem to be different brands.

I believe Google and others purposely broke searching by a phone number. Many years ago I was able to even search by email. I don't think it is SEO, but after they blocked it, SEO is the only thing that remained.

But you just did...

Well it was essentially a boycott. If people will stop buying games made by them, then publishers will stop hiring them and the company will go bankrupt. So I can understand the motivation for it.

Now, I think the whole scandal is really manufactured. The company goal is basically to provide contractor writers to help with game development. They try to differentiate themselves by claiming that they write content that is inclusive, which can help make games for a wider populace.

The hate though is misdirected. People are claiming that the games are bad, because the company made them bad, when in reality if publisher prefers to hire contractor writers rather than hire their own, they likely don't care about quality and just want to milk the franchise.

I actually had no idea bout this scandal until yesterday, when it was talked by a streamer while playing Cyberpunk 2077. The guy complained how other games are ruined by SweetBaby. What is golden for me is that he said he loves Cyberpunk 2077, that it's very fun game, but in the game you have straight, gay, bi, trans NPC characters. You can even be gay, bi, trans yourself.

The game has loser men, and powerful women (I mean the NUSA president is a women) similarly, you have black characters that are very powerful and honorable, you have a powerful Asian woman in DLC that has skills that you can't surpass. I mean the game is the wokest of woke, yet still "it is fun" for him.

To me it was perfect example that it is all bullshit, and really what makes game great is the effort put in not whether it is woke/anti-woke.
