Yes, that’s the one small silver lining one the pile of bullshit this is. Plus you won’t need to do it multiple times anymore.

It comes down to is Discord really deleting it once they’re done and not training on the facial scans.


I disagree, but I could see it being difficult for some folks with thumb problems.

I had this cool PS2 controller that let you swap the positions of the d pad, analog sticks, and buttons. So you could make it like the Xbox layout, left analog on top left and dpad on bottom left. It’d be nice if more stuff like that was a thing. Though I think most consoles have pretty good accessibility settings now and let you do stuff like that (though not as dramatic as moving hardware of course). It could even adjust the tension in the sticks by twisting em.


I still don’t get how they ever approved this design.

I think folks telling you things like “you should learn X language before Y language” are not giving you the best advice. I often understand their arguments. The advice is typically “don’t learn X high level language before Y low level one.” But if we need to start lower, where would that advice end? Must someone really understand transistors before writing hello world in Python? No! Absolutely not.

Learning any programming language will make you better at all programming languages. There is no perfect starting place. There is no bad starting place.

Think about it like this. Someone tells you before learning to drive a car with automatic transmission you should learn manual. They say it’ll make you appreciate the automatic transmission more and that it’s easier to go from manual to automatic than from automatic to manual. Well, a more relevant question is do you plan to ever drive a manual on a normal basis. If the answer is no, you don’t plan on ever using it apart from learning how to, why bother? If you ever need to learn it, you can learn it. You’ll be better at driving by then and can focus on shifting gears without having to struggle to also focus on all the rest of the driving things you do (like staying in the lane, going the right speed not hitting people, etc.)

If you only want to learn C just so you better appreciate things in other languages, don’t bother. Learn the language you want to use. If you want to use C, go for it! There’s nothing wrong with it. A lot of folks want to learn both Rust and C because they want to learn both and stick their toes in everything. That’s fine too! Just don’t feel obligated because you think it’s the best way forward.


Why would you not be a fan of your own character? 🥺 You should play characters you like!



That length sock is better than the one for Ubuntu in my head though. So win win.


Oooh if you want the actual look with an animal sketch, do one of that orangutan trying to use a hammer and nails.


In the mean time you can use AdGuard’s public DNS. They try to bury it because they offer paid things as well but they do have just a normal, public, ad-blocking DNS you can use.



In my testing, by copying the claimed ‘prompt’ from the article into Google Translate, it simply translated the command. You can try it yourself.

So, the source of everything that kicked off the entire article, is ‘Some guy on Tumblr’ vouching for an experiment, which we can all easily try and fail to replicate.

I haven’t heard of anyone using Soucehut. (I guess Soucehut itself counts though.)




I wouldn’t have necessarily thought it obvious Google Translate uses an LLM so this is still interesting.




I’m just spit balling here but I believe Catholics are also very against birth control and abortion, so that could play a role as well, no?



I see no reason to view the chart as anything other than rating them as daily drivers though.
