@Okanogen @Hex even better: only document what's obvious. Write 5 lines of comment for a simple getWidth() but leave a complicated function uncommented, or with comments that are confusing and not very clear, or in a different language

@Yaku credo volesse penne d'uccello

@cstross @Oggie @pluralistic what's the point of a fridge subscribed to the weather channel? So that it knows when it's cold enough and it can tell us to store the food outside?

@amszmidt this poll makes me feel old... and unlocked some of my memories

@benroyce @Myerman @edgeofeurope @Lana @jstogdill from a European perspective, the very idea of not being able to afford healthcare is insanity

@pluralistic will there be a crowdfunding for Picks and Shovels?

@budfox @Bastacosi io non posso scioperare, ho il giorno di riposo

@Bastacosi @budfox mi accontento di fare lo sciopero degli acquisti. E ci metto un #NoBlackFriday che sta bene su tutto

@sio esponenzialmente, però, con mezza fava catturi 1,41 piccioni

“Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it.” - Ursula K. Le Guin

@blacklight it seems that you can keep your account by creating a template. A random template that you can delete after a few days. But I don't know this service and I don't know if you can create templates for free.
But they miss you

@cindyyusa @lednabwm why? It makes perfect sense. A couple of kangaroos swam from Australia to Middle East to board a boathouse built by a very old man

@lednabwm how mean do you need to be to say such things to children?

@pluralistic this definition of an LLM as a Plausible Sentence Generator is perfect (just like @quinta 's S.A.L.A.M.I.), I think I will borrow it

@thesiswhisperer I joined mastodon in late 21 and then basically stopped using twitter, but kept the account active because some companies use social channels to be contacted by customers. I deleted the account last January, after Musk unbanned people who were banned for hate speech (which could make sense, in a way; new king, new start) and banned those who *fought* hate speech (and *this* makes no sense at all). He stated clearly where he stands. Which isn't where *I* want to stand

@proxeus it's 2023 and I boosted

@feditips yes, this is something that I can understand. What I don't like is when people use totally unrelated random hashtags, just for visibility, like in another social network who used to have a bird as its logo. But I don't harass them. I block them, period.
