  Zero shot that a constitutional convention in the near future would be for the better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a practical reason a lot of FOSS project don't offer torrent downloads or is it just a stigma thing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, this is why people don’t use BT more for their FLOSS downloads.

  I’ll do some more digging just because I’m curious, but without resources to show how people can leverage this for Web downloads most are not going to make the effort for little to no benefit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a practical reason a lot of FOSS project don't offer torrent downloads or is it just a stigma thing?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you still need a tracker to discover peers. So unless it’s only a Web download (which would make this whole effort stupid), peers still need to be able to find each other.

  Though my understanding of BT’s P2P protocol is pretty weak so I might be running on false assumptions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a practical reason a lot of FOSS project don't offer torrent downloads or is it just a stigma thing?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Never heard of it. How can someone quickly integrate this into their CD process? Looks like I can build a magnet link that points to a Web seed, but I guess I’d need to submit to some public trackers?

  I didn’t find a whole lot of resources on this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a practical reason a lot of FOSS project don't offer torrent downloads or is it just a stigma thing?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, it adds a whole 'nother layer of complexity. Now instead of just a Web server, you need a torrent client and all the CI/CD built up around it.

  That’s a mighty fine trash pile right there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn't listen, anyway.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea if they’re curious about the world around them. But that’s also not the question at hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn't listen, anyway.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If a chimpanzee looks its handler in the eyes and points to a banana, it may be interpreted that the ape is asking to have the banana. This, Hobaiter said, shows apes are capable of asking questions.

  Obviously not in the spirit of the question. No curiosity, no attempt to learn about what’s going on around them. The article has no examples of real questions, so to me I’d say the meme rings true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really worth starting a lemmy community?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ain’t nothin that serious around here, friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's really ugly but it's a sign of a healthy environment for soil microbes.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Learning from a shitpost feels weird.

  Then you accidentally call Fat Accountant by his story nickname.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black printhead was clogged. I replace it and now the color printhead is completely missing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’ll teach you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨same shit every day, on god⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious if it would even be thermodynamically possible. If we could magically run a pipe that far, would the heat from the water radiate into space before it reached earth to do anything useful?

  Someone get XKCD to do a video short on this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I swear half the posts on here are just slop now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody talks like that. Nobody. […] Or when someone uses “delve” unironically. No real person has ever said delve.

  There’s literally dozens of us. Dozens!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨same, honestly⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a real article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are some many people role playing as animals?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone in ancient times carving a piece of art that’s a bear-man has virtually nothing to do with this:

  Trying to link the two is disingenuous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are some many people role playing as animals?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Linking anthropomorphized animals to furry culture is quite a stretch. Even old tribal cultures where they might wear animal skins/skulls for rituals doesn’t even really have much in common with what people are doing in fur suits today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do adults have such big noses?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just wondering if my nose was getting larger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the demands of the No Kings protests? What's the plan if they win?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like fixing the current mess would require a pretty serious overhaul of the government but no one seems to be having that conversation.

  Obviously the act of protest alone won’t do a thing. It’s a method for the people to express themselves and show those that may have power to make changes that they have popular support. A prosecutor, legislator, judge, or president going out on a lonely limb not knowing if they have support of the people is a risky position to be in.

  Believe it or not, all governments (more or less) rule by consent of the people.

  BTW, with bitly at least, you can add a + to the end and you can see the destination before you chose you visit.

  Did London ever become compatible with the latest FO4 release?

  Like Dean Karzanes. Dude can run almost indefinitely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please make it stop - Google Chrome to be reimagined with AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Difficult things like “booking a haircut” or “ordering your weekly groceries” will be a thing of the past Google hope, as they’ll get their AI to do it for you.

  I gotta wonder how the ad business will fit into this. Are companies just going to make a bid for consumers that Google will just deliver via blind AI orders like this?

  Consumer choice comes down to who bribes the AI the most. This seems almost inevitable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how good are you at lying during job interviews?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO, lying is a terrible way to start any relationship. At best it means you wind up with a job you’re unqualified for. At worst the whole thing blows up in your face. Maybe even the remote possibility of fraud charges.

  Don’t think there’s anything wrong with embellishing or talking yourself up, but outright lies seldom work out well. At least in my experience in my industry.
