Not only is he citing the Hebrew Bible, it SAYS IN THE LINK THAT HE POSTED THAT HE’S CITING THE HEBREW BIBLE.

Seriously, kids these days, it’s like nobody goes to Vacation Bible School anymore

DDG going hard with horseshoe theory

It would be a poor dictionary that excluded such a widely used word as “discombobulated.”

This is him AFTER he got off drugs.

Wait, they’re against right wingers now?

What’s the catch?

Harsh!

Just to be clear, which firefish server did you join?

I just checked out the main server (firefish.social) and there wasn’t any transphobic content in the “Global” or “Local” section.

I’m wondering if you ended up on a really toxic right-wing fediverse instance, that happens to use Firefish as its software, and so the Firefish main site stupidly/ignorantly listed it as a possible place to sign up. If that’s the case they need to get rid of it.

Misskey is from Japan. Firefish is from some English speaker, I don’t know if they’re USian or English or what

They say it’s gut microbes though? So not very similar to Covid.

Speaking from MI where it’s been legal for a few years… prepare for an overwhelming number of billboards advertising local cannabis shops. :)

Lol no I’m not buying cryptocurrency so I can give or receive microdollars for tweets

Nostr? Isn’t that just for crypto bros, Nazis, and Jack Dorseys?

I checked it out once and the chats I dropped into were all about people giving each other “sats” (nanobitcoins) and there were also some far-right weirdos.

Conceptually it seems kinda neat but if somebody says they’re a big fan of nostr I’m gonna wonder about them

I’ve been using DuckDuckGo since, at least 2010, maybe earlier. If its results aren’t up to snuff, I’m not aware of that because they’re what I’m used to. I fall through to Google ( !g) if I think there might be more out there. The bang commands are so good. I use DDG as my main search in my search bar and then I can use the bang commands to get to whatever specialized search I want from there. It’s a meta-search-engine.

I work all day in a large codebase which is entirely space-indented, and I must say the amount of time I’ve spent backspacing through indented spaces in order to get to the right indentation level, or moving individually through indented space characters with the arrow keys, adds up to less than a minute a month. So while that may be “a reason” to prefer tabs, it isn’t much of them, at least, not if you use a good editor. It just doesn’t matter.

If you want to understand the issues more thoroughly, internet hero Jamie Zawinski wrote a treatise on it 23 years ago, and not much has changed since then.

My observation is that space-using people tend to be like “OK if tabs make you happy, I guess you can do that, I’m going to keep using spaces, which I prefer because of (reason X Y and Z).” And tabs-using people tend to be like I WILL NOW LECTURE YOU ON WHY TABS ARE OBJECTIVELY SUPERIOR AND I WILL NEVER STOP. I CAN’T BE BARGAINED WITH, I CAN’T BE REASONED WITH, I DON’T FEEL PITY OR REMORSE OR FEAR. AND I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT STOP, EVER, UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD.

Most programmers’ editors automatically indent the line appropriately without having to hit either the space key or the tab key, and if you do hit the tab key it usually just inserts enough tabs or spaces (whichever you configure it for) to take it in one level of indentation. Programmers depend on hyper smart specialized editors.

I agree and will take it further. We don’t even need to posit a change in the meaning of the word, we need only assume that when people use the word literally, they do not mean the word “literally” literally, they mean it figuratively.

Who says you have to use the word “literally” literally? You don’t have to say the word “loudly” loudly!

Good boundaries, respect
