• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I think mandatory voting is a bad idea. It will not make then suddenly care, they will just vote for lolrolfcopter party.

  The US does a lot of bad things around voting, but it being on a workday is probably the biggest hurdle. Most other countries have it on a weekend or holiday. That means that most people can go vote and not have to chose between potentially getting fired and vote. Which, to no surprise mostly affects lower income voters.

  Also combined with the witch hunt on mail in voting makes it very hard for lower income people to vote. Which is by design.

  Eh, git is good but it is not like he invented source control. Before git there were subversion and before that CVS, along with a lot of others (mostly pay to use).

  Git does some things really good and has become more or less the de-facto standard, it does other things not so good (like binary files). But it is not unique.

  Good advice.

  Also, work on your form and not to increase weights. So many are doing some weird sort of back swing exercise when doing curls for, example

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point of the "Airport Security" (aka: TSA) in the USA? Does the "Airport Security" ever actually scare away potential terrorists?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this “Security Theater” actually scare away a would-be terrorist?

  I very much doubt it. Also it would be a lot easier to just bribe/threaten/blackmail an airport employee to “forget” to lock a gate or similar and get anything you want in that way.

  Nah, just don’t play the AAA bullshit. It is not worth your time to pirate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube's web UX team is a joke.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …and it drives me insane when it is not real links but some javascript/button/div-with-onclick/etc and middle click won’t work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do many search engines seem to ignore operators (e.g. exact phrases, term exclusions, OR, etc.)? Is there a good reason for having a dumb 1997-level search logic that I'm not seeing?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Recruiters can’t see the difference! (Ok, not all but a worrying high percentage)

  Subscription based teeth?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a better, but still not perfect, way to define it would be “This person wants to do X, but can’t support him/her/itself doing it.”

  Of course, if you are already rich it doesn’t matter and then it is a bad metric (one of the reasons it isn’t perfect.) However, I think it is a better way to define it. Someone writing a few books as a hobby and then stops are not a failed writer, but someone that wants to be a writer but just can’t support it is.

  Basically I think the intent matters, but that is impossible to measure (and people lie about it). So being able to do it as a profession is an ok metric.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who owns the servers for Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can export the list of subscribed communities in 0.19.

  If you do that every now and then a shutdown would still hurt. As all the communities hosted on it would be lost but at least you can import your subscription list on another server.

  Factorio.

  What do you mean, there are other games? No time for those. The factory must grow!
