How does one munch at a library? Isn't that usually frowned upon?

That link 404s.

Edit: did it explain why they had to remove donation links? That seems unfortunate.

We could have used the tilde, which has been used in formal logic & maths for negation in very many contexts for a long time.

It's used instead in C and many C-like languages for the far less useful bitwise negation. Of course, we could have had it work in the same way as bitwise vs logical and & or, by dialling up the symbol. Which would have massively improved its visibility compared to the bang.

But for some reason, no. They chose the bang instead.

It means slightly better than—but just slightly—America's Democrats.

Though fyi in Australia we spell it Labor. It's labour in any other context, but our political party is Labor.

I went on a long run on the 1st September. First day of Spring down here in the southern hemisphere. Basically still winter. And it was 32 °C by the time I finished at 10 am. Over 30. In the morning. Just one day after winter. Wtf.

Yeah honestly AA games deliver the experience AAA games gave 15 years ago, and that's what I want way more than whatever AAA is today.

Why are you conflating criticism of a genocidal regime with racism?

This has implications with digital content in general

Not even just digital content. This is only half a step removed from right to repair campaigns, and that’s all about physical hardware, ranging from mobile phones to tractors on farms.

It's really unfortunate that Lemmy handles deleted posts in this way. It's one of very few genuine advantages of the Reddit platform. Over there, if the OP deleted the post, the text they wrote would no longer be visible, but all the comments under it still would be. And people could continue to have that discussion, so long as they had the link.

That's a bit doomerist of you. Why leap to the assumption that voters are against it rather than the far simpler explanation that people are unaware of its existence, or don't feel they understand it well enough to have an opinion?

In which case what's needed is a much stronger social media effort, preferably headed up by the organisers themselves, or someone else who can make it their entire thing, from where it can hopefully radiate out to other interested parties.

Or that you're going to pull back your shower curtain one day, and there's going to be a bear in your shower?

Ha! Joke's on you. I don't have a shower curtain!

Transcription:

A Venn diagram with the caption "Nothing to see here, folks, just a very normal venn diagram".

The diagram shows an intersection of three circles. The top shows a knife, the left shows butter, and the right shows a fly.

Intersection of top & left has a butter knife.

Top & right has a Japanese kunai.

Left & right has a butterfly.

The intersection of all three has a butterfly knife.
