A leap year is every 4 years, but not every 400 years. If you could only vote on Feb 29 you’d have gone 8 years without a vote between 1996 and 2004.
This is so believable. You copy a few examples out of a textbook using cout and cin and it seems reasonably inline with other languages.
Batman in an interrogation room pins joker to the wall.
Batman: “I’ve only got one rule”
Joker: “Then that’s the rule you’re gonna have to break to get what you want”.
Now I hate Marvell and all super hero movies but I do find that quote applies to a lot of things.
If you’re truthful or law abiding then law breakers have an advantage on you. They’ll try and undermine free and fair elections.
If you’re a pacifist then people will use violence to try and control you, such as terrorism, or simply ignore your laws.
If you have socialism then people will pour in from other countries or try to exploit the system in whatever they can.
If the police or strict or lax in either direction it causes upset.
Whatever you say is a law, or a line you won’t cross, is something that people will exploit.
You gotta walk your own path.
Most people know exactly what they have to do to obtain a skill, start a business, make a friend, experience and adventure but simply don’t out of fear of the unknown.
The Internet is helpful but you got to put stock in your own lived experience.
Firstly, who the fuck are they?
Secondly, you have the money, why can’t you just be reasonable? Like it’s not enough to rich, and not work and be happy, travel the world without limits and without a care… you somehow need to hurt people. It’s awful.
€565m and then €365m per year for all your immigration problems solved is a bargain. We up to tens of billions overspent on our problems.
I’ve been on Reddit for 16 years and I’d say yes it’s very similar. Like Reddit back then it was very tech focused and quite liberal.
I do think people are a bit more vicious online these days than they used to be and a bit more polarised.
From a content perspective there used to be more blog content than tech news content, but it’s fairly similar. What I like about Lemmy is it’s far less commercial and the conversation is more genuine.
However I don’t think Lemmy will become Reddit in 15 years, I think it may languish in eternal obscurity and I’m actually okay with that.
Reddit exploded when Digg crumbled and the same could happen with Reddit crumbling but idk, there seems to be some stickiness to Internet websites these days.
Normally this sort of organisation is called a “not for profit”. It acts like a company in every respect but doesn’t do more than pay for its own use. Examples are semi-public services such as “Transport for London” etc. in terms of org or dot com, I think you can use either.
I’d love to see it ported to Linux and for Spotify to release a fork of it again.
If the EU is better than the UK, while travel from France in the first place?
Steelseries M400 UK keyboard with Monster Doubleshot SA profile keycaps. As you can see the space bar wasn’t compatible with the keyboard, RIP!
I’ve used Debian stable daily for 20 years.
When I was young and passionate about Linux there were lots of things that were behind and noticible. Notably big things like KDE with obvious graphical features that I could see I was missing out on.
After a few years I stop finding any excitement in upgrading at all. I became critical of pointless features and rewrites. KDE is worse if anything.
In the last 5 years there has been stuff I’ve wanted that’s existed outside the project. Docker when it came out, Wireguard. I just ended up waiting.
The only software I run outside the repositories atm is neovim and that’s because I want to use the latest Scala-metals IDE tool. That itself is becoming more stable though.
