I think an important note here (monkeys paw curling) is if the associated skills of the occupation are included. Cause if you’re just like, okay yeah I’m gonna be a samurai, and you put on your little samurai shoes (weebs help me out here) and your dress thingy, and put your hair up in a top knot and sling on your katana (I knew one of the words), and then you get to your first battle and realize you’re just star wars kid, it’s not gonna end too well.

I saw someone suggest Connect for Lemmy yesterday, Android app that has both instance blocking and keyword filtering. Overall the app is fine but until I find something I love that supports the filtering it’s more than sufficient.

Or the 2000 dead penguins washing up on the coast of Uruguay just a few days ago. Apparently starved to death, though the cause is still being investigated.

But yeah the phytoplankton and algae boiling to death is triggering a catastrophic change in the ocean that is going to domino in horrible ways and I feel like I don’t often see a lot of people mentioning it. It’s very scary how the collapse of aquatic ecosystems is playing out.

“just eat seafood”. Brought to you by the comment thread on the article about the fact that the oceans are half way to literally fucking boiling.

Good thing wages are also inflating to keep up with these ridiculous price increases. Oh, wait…

I’ve been surprised to not see a bunch of ‘b-b-but it’s only this this hot because of el nino’ nonsense when talking about the current phase of our active climate crisis. Like, yeah, it’s hotter because of the global weather phenomenon that occurs every few years but that’s on top of everything else happening. We may not end up hitting record temps when we’re back in La Nina (but the storm damage will be fucking devastating). But next time around it’s just going to be like this but way way worse as the ocean continues dying, bad algae blooms, good algae withers, and co2 continues to get pumped into our atmosphere with little reprieve.

The president of Stanford University has stepped down in the wake of an independent investigation that found “substandard practices” in research papers he was involved in.

Already plenty of support for your cause.

At least you’re adjusting. Even if it is just gradually.

There’s only one website I’ve ever visited on IE, Edge, Safari, Chrome and it’s https://getfirefox.com

Well considering the EFF is based in the US, the second sentence of the article mentions the AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union, and halfway through the page is a link to Tell Congress which links to a page to look up your representatives with your UNITED STATES Postal Service zip code, I’m gonna let you put on your thinking cap and figure this one out.

Who sees this gorgeous cat and complains!?!

for one reason or another

Money. The reason is money.

Exactly. That is quite specifically what he wants.

Xxx.xxx.xxx is just an arbitrary subdomain of xxx.xxx though.

You can apparently have up to 127 levels, so long as any level is 63 or less characters and the whole domain string is 253 or less.

I’m not going to type it all but it could be x.x.x.x.x.x…(several many more .x.x)…x.x.x.xxx if they really wanted.

We Lemmy users have seen. I mean everyone has seen I guess, but, it really seems like most people just don’t care. They’d rather have convenience and comfort of big brother squeezing their balls in a vice rather than put a little thought or effort into controlling their own lives and choices.

Yeah but at least the bread was free and the circuses were good. Now bread costs another dollar more every time there are ‘supply chain issues’ and the circus is what we used to call news.

the os doesn’t create the files, the application does

When an application wants to create a file, who does it ask for permission? Who facilitates finding a spot on the disk for the new files to go?

Frankly I can’t speak to the overhead for managing it but the OS is aware and could very much keep track of which applications own what. As for shared directories if they know the specific app owner obviously just remove files from app A but keep the directory if app B also uses it.

As for configuration files and save data, these are generally located in consistent places but ultimately that’s going to be a responsibility of the app developer to keep with standards for where those config files go so they can persist through reinstalls.

‘Do you want to delete this application completely, or would you like to keep configuration files and save data?’

But Apple doesn’t really care, they want everything to feel seamless and look pretty. Actual functionality is a second thought.

People already dismiss anything that doesn’t align with their thoughts and feelings. Truth and facts are irrelevant, this changes nothing.

But if it was a default functionality from Apple, presumably apps would be packaged, installed, and run in such a way that the OS is aware of what files it’s creating and use that context to clean up after themselves properly when uninstalled.

Ass hat also suffices.
