How to know you'll turn out trans?
  • I think they mean no consequences as in friends and family won't have any upsetting reaction, work will still be the same, and so on. Like picking male or female in a game, it rarely matters what you pick, the game just rolls with it.

  • Napoleon Dynamite is 20 years old now.
  • There is a bit of hero's journey narrative in it. A loser with nothing goes on a quest to win the class presidency or whatever. Even rides towards the sun set on a white horse with the girl at the end if I recall correctly.

  • Switching to OCaml bois
  • You will still have private/public sections, interfaces (unless you class them as inheritance), classes and instances, the SOLID principles, composition over inheritance. OOP is a lot more than just large family trees of inheritance, a way of thinking that's been moved away from for a long time.

  • Is lemmy now what reddit used to be 10+ years ago?
  • Mm yes, reddit started with out with tens of thousands of users over night.

    I think the situation here on lemmy is pretty comparable to early reddit. People forget it started out as mostly a nerdy programmer centric site as well, and then grew from there. It's a bit jarring to see people here insisting on artificially creating communities and pushing/guiliting people into posting more just to bring the numbers up. "the narwhal bacon's at midnight" (although it was always cringe) started because reddit was a niche site less known than 4chan to begin with, so it was just a nonsensical dog whistle.

    Do I miss the focused subreddits around specific topics? Sure, but I also think they will come naturally with time if lemmy survives just as they did with reddit. And the whole reason we're here today to begin with is because of an unsatiable hunger for growth.

  • Washing machine chime scandal shows how absurd YouTube copyright abuse can get
  • They could also punish false claims. Currently the copyright holders (and not even that, just something that might vaguely sound like your stuff) can automatically send out strikes for any match in the system. The burden to prove it's fair use goes to YouTube channel, and if it's found to not be copyright infringement nothing happens to the fraudulent claimer.

    A big step would be to discourage the copyright holders from shooting from the hip.

  • 2 teens die in suspected drownings after accepting dare, jumping off bridge into lake
  • So the theory here is one jumper went into distress, and pulled the other teen who tried to help underwater with him.

    Quite tragic deaths then, as it didn't seem like the waters below was that unknown.

    Shows the importance of always having something between you and the person drowning. Take off any piece of clothing you might have on you if there isn't anything around you.

  • Every time I get an email about
  • It is honestly disgusting when they list the number of parties, especially when you see 100+ vendors on the "Legitimate purpose" toggle. Fuck off you have a legitimate purpose to my browsing.

  • Has anyone here ever tried Linux From Scratch?
  • It was a lot of fun for me. I did it without a virtual machine (would not generally recommend) on a older laptop I wasn't using anyway. I wasn't very successful in the end however. My own built kernel couldn't produce any vga output. I tried to fix it for a handful of nights, but in the end gave up and called it good enough :P So I might comeback to it later to fully complete an installation.

    But it was good learning oppertunity. It showed that just compiling a version of the Linux kernel isn't very complicated. It even comes with a very nice TUI to select your build options!

  • "What is Your Gender Identity" Survey
  • Eh, I just browse 'all'. Would I chose to be a woman if I had the chance at birth? Likely yes. But I quite like my ding-dong either way 😄

    I am however quite jealous of women's fashion, the big scarfs, big wooly jumpers, and flowy textiles.
