you write it in a special programming language, which is basically English, which describes how you want to see this application in a very specified way
A derivative of English, with different syntax and rules to help eliminate ambiguities? We in the industry tend to call that “code”.

Sure enough, there it is.
The sidebar for the whole instance? I think that’s jusy not visible anywhere, in Jerboa. I’ll have to look for it at my desktop, later.
I guess that was the downtime overnight? Glad to see an active admin team. Sounds like it’s time for me to setup a support subscription. Is there a Patreon account, or similar?
Boy 120GB doesn’t seem like much. Do photo uploads go somewhere else, perhaps?
I think you’re very pretty - especially naked.
Something I’ve learned about compliments, in general, is to be specific. Like, even outside of the nudity, just “I think you’re very pretty” is rather a poor compliment. Leaving it open-ended like that plays into what others have said in this thread, that it can be interpreted negatively.
In this case, the obvious alternative in my mind is “I really like your tattoos.” That even opens up the opportunity for a conversation about how she got them and what they mean to her. You could could also complement her hair, as you mentioned you appreciated that as well.
asked her if she’d allow me to explain my obvious fuck-up
This is a very natural reaction on your part, and comes from a good place: you’ve recognized that you’ve caused someone pain/harm, and want to help alleviate it. Unfortunately, when it comes to topics where sexuality is involved, I don’t think there’s any scenario where it helps. Not unless they come to you seeking an apology/explanation. The most helpful thing for most people, in this scenario, is to have a little contact as possible with the person who made them uncomfortable. Even if you’re being genuine about this, most people aren’t.
I tried to explain to X again that I wasn’t sexualising her in any way
I think this is especially not going to help, because it’s not an apology. A real, genuine apology for a situation like this involves you recognizing that you did, in fact, do wrong to someone (which, again, in this case, I think you do recognize), so an apology HAS to focus on that.
For me, a true apology has to consist of 3 things:
Focusing on explaining your side of the story screws up the “understanding” part. It makes it about what SHE did wrong (“you reacted without knowing the full story”) instead of what YOU did wrong (“I didn’t consider that my words would make you uncomfortable”). Alternatively, it’s “you shouldn’t be feeling this way, because you don’t know the whole story” instead of “I shouldn’t have made you feel this way”. Even though that’s not what you meant to say, that’s an entirely understandable way to interpret it.
Explaining your side of the story can still be part of this, but it comes under the “Amends” category. I.E. “I wasn’t trying to sexualize you, so I need to work on avoiding sexualizing language” or “I need to work on choosing my words more carefully, I should be able to compliment someone without it coming off as a sexual thing.”
Anyway, that’s just my 2 cents. If everything you’ve told us is accurate, I think you’re genuinely a fine person, and you just need to file this one away as a learning experience, the best you can. Nothing more to be done about it now.
What’d you have for dinner?
These days, mostly for reddit mirror bots.
I dunno what people’s obsession is with Lululemon, and I really don’t care, but that fucking bot alone is like 5% of lemmy/all, these days.
Add a submission fee that gets refunded as part of the bounty payout, or if the reviewer otherwise judges the submission as obviously legitimate.
Donate all fee proceeds to charity, if you want to counter the any incentive to deny submissions for financial gain.
Goddamnit, why can’t we get a militia that does some PRODUCTIVE sabotage?
I’m not really sure that being open source here means much of anything, but an SO alternative definitely sounds good. Thanks for the tip.
I read it to mean that this method has confirmed “almost no real person has spoken to me”.
I don’t do budgeting, per-se. For personal expenses, the idea of pre-planning everything we’re going to spend just seems like overkill. Maybe that’s just cause we’re not close enough to the poverty line for real financial hardship. But I find a reactive approach works well, rather than proactive.
I keep an accounting ledger that I update every 1-2 weeks. The ledger is just a big Excel (actually LibreOffice Calc) file that I setup with some formulas and pie charts to make it easy to see when expenses are outpacing income, and what our biggest expenses are if we need to cut down for a while (spoilers: it’s utilities and food).
I’ve tried a handful of different free accounting applications in the past, but never found one I liked for the above purposes. I ended up starting a project to make my own, like a year ago, but I haven’t gotten around to finishing it. The spreadsheet approach has been working well enough. All the custom app would do is help automate the data entry.
Roughly the same as for any type of software: make shit.
If you’ve already got experience with general programming, that helps a lot, you can probably just go straight into a super simple game. My go-to recommendation for programming in general is “make simple something that already exists”. That gives you goals that are very clear, and reasonably achievable, so you can start getting some of that satisfaction feedback quickly. For a game, I’d say do something like Tic-Tac-Toe, Battleship, Solitaire… something that isn’t gonna require a whole lot of art, just to get going, and isn’t gonna take weeks to get a working prototype.
Godot definitely sounds like a good bet to get going. Even if you end up moving to another engine for projects in the future, that doesn’t invalidate your time spent on this one.
Dude, you obviously have never set FOOT on a farm or tractor, in your LIFE. Stop spreading misinformation.
These are raw marshmallows. Yeah, it’s unbelievable how big they are, but that’s just cause they’re fresh and haven’t dried out yet.
What’s even the argument for dropping 32-bit support? Just developer experience?
Why not? If they can cut costs by reducing specs that don’t matter to their target audience, that just seems like sound engineering.
Does it come with a registry of employers who no-show interviews? Or post ghost-job-offerings?
