It’s delightfully weird, but be warned that it can get kinda bloody at times. Not like splatter but more, uh… disturbing in some ways I guess – hard to get more specific without spoiling things.

Utopia, the original UK Channel 4 series not the godawful piece of shit US remake

The fact that dumb twats just expect to get everything for free is the reason why everything turned to ad-funded shit

Well, NATO was pretty much built to counter a Soviet invasion of Europe – so even though Art. 5 does cover the US (and they’re the only ones to have invoked it so far to justify their bullshit war in Afghanistan) since they’re a member state, the organisation has always been more geared towards keeping Russia from invading Europe.

“If NATO was created to guarantee peace and mutual defense, it must either become an organization that takes on this task by engaging with the Global South — and thus become something profoundly different — or we will not achieve the goal of having security within rules that apply to everyone,” he said.

It was created to guarantee peace and mutual defense in Europe. Why would NATO have to “engage with the Global South” (whatever the fuck that means in this context) to do that?

But oh boy is it a flashy good-looking structured cool code! It doesn’t work, but it’s cool!

Purely out of curiosity, I used the Cursor IDE for a personal project involving a lot of math-y stuff, and this really wasn’t my experience.

Not only was most of what it produced wrong (ran just fine, but mostly produced complete garbage), the code quality was absolute shit. Overly long functions, often with parts that repeated, kept shoving more and more parameters into those overly long functions, no sense of using abstractions to cut down on code length etc. etc.

Might have partially been a question of language choice; I was using Julia, and there’s definitely not going to be as much training data for it compared to something like Python (🤮), and a lot of the code that is out there has been written by people who aren’t coders but scientists

Fuck me am I glad I’m out of the corporate world

I wish users would report their problem istead of what they think is the solution.

And when they do report the problem, they should report the actual problem they had and not what they think the problem is.

So instead of eg. “my computer’s been hacked!”, it’s actually “I saw a scary error dialog I didn’t understand”

I know so many ops people who are practically functional alcoholics and I’m not surprised at all

I hope you wear the velcro shoes for your own sake

I wonder what the daily recommended allowance of irony is

I mean I’m like 99.9999% sure the post itself is satire, but what worries me is that I’m not sure if the concept of “higher order vibes” is itself satire or not

Ha yeah. Like a Fedidrama comm but funnier.

Could sue people with silly opinions, drag their butts to Lemmy Court (and probably get dragged yourself too)

I mean, yeah it’s easy to scrape public networks, but my question is: so the fuck what?

If you don’t want anything or anyone to scrape your content, don’t publish anything on the internet. Ever.

Yeah I voted for the Ca-Caw Party

Everything’s got to be about politics here.

NOOOOO I’M GOING TO SUE YOU IN LEMMY COURT

Do you think that people generally need to ask permission before reposting something (non-OC, anyhow) that was shared on a public forum?

“Reposting content without prior permission”?

His accusations really aren’t that far off from what I’ve seen from eg. some Finnish officers – not specifically related to the drone unit but to the Ukrainian military itself.

While I have no doubt that there are a lot of very professionally run units in Ukraine, quite a few of them still have many of the issues that come with being a post-Soviet military. They’re not quite as egregiously bad as Russia’s, thankfully, but when the general staff and a lot of the senior officers are mainly Soviet-trained, it’s hard to get rid of that sort of thinking
