emptiestplace,

this “digital replacement” strategy

skeuomorphism

emptiestplace,

Physical pain? Zero.

Did you think about this before you wrote it?

emptiestplace,

How is it obvious?

emptiestplace,

Wow. Equally confident, equally confused.

The brain processes the information from the nerves.

emptiestplace,

lol

Home entertainment with NAS?

Hi! My goal: I want to set up a beamer projector in my flat and connect that to some kind of ‘always on’ machine with which I can stream (currently Netflix a bit but that really is not a priority as I am thinking of cancelling it) but would also like it to be a torrent client (I have a VPN) to download some media. Though...

emptiestplace,

So that’s who listens to this garbage…

emptiestplace,

pathological

I’m afraid this one is already taken, friend.

What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke?

Maybe they're used to various shortcuts in their writing that they picked up before autocorrect became common, but these habits are too idiosyncratic for autocorrect to handle properly. However, that doesn't explain the emails I've had to decipher that were typed on desktop keyboards. Has anyone else younger than 45 or so felt similarly frustrated with geriatrics' messages?

emptiestplace,

Your timeline is straight up fucked. In short, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

emptiestplace,

from within Russia

this is weird

emptiestplace,

With a bit of practice you too will be able to follow conversations. :)

emptiestplace,

No, you’re not.

The implication - whether or not it was intentional - is that it’s fine to fire on Ukraine from within Ukraine.

emptiestplace,

I understand approximately half of what you wrote, but I see quite a few people upvoted you. Is this what dementia is like?

emptiestplace,

I actually wasn’t being negative, but carry on.

emptiestplace,

I appreciate them in print, but do not ever want to see them in my terminal.

emptiestplace,

No idea what held in is, but I live in vim, and … no ligatures, thanks. Same with italics. Ligatures with fixed-width fonts make no sense. I especially hate the combined arrow symbols: why draw attention to something so unimportant?

emptiestplace,

While I respect your choice to make things more ‘beautiful’ in your editor, I do not think we should ever do this by default.

It might seem nice visually, but suddenly we are not seeing things exactly as the compiler does. And as someone who has spent a lot of time helping folks debug their code, I feel quite strongly that this is just further obfuscating an already challenging field - for superficial gains.

emptiestplace,

It wasn’t a good one because that isn’t even the right term.

Synonyms. The wikipedia article uses the word ‘breaking’ many times.

Doesn’t really matter, the point stands.

Uhh. First, what point? Second, no, it doesn’t.

I’m not gonna chill about innocent people dying for these greedy corporations and you thinking I should is fucking sad.

wtf. Nobody said or implied anything even close to this.

Is this really better for you than just admitting you missed a joke? Wow.

emptiestplace,

I don’t know why this specific thing is so common on Lemmy though, I don’t think it happened in reddit.

When you’re used to knowing a lot relative to the people around you, learning to listen sometimes becomes optional.
