@goatsarah that's a nice explanation. Thank you for this, and I'lluse this as an example the next time Ihave to explain what the Fediverse is.
Now, I'm sure there are people who will argue that this is what makes the Fediverse bad, since it's very hard to "go viral". And I'm sure I could hace been seen by more people if I started posting on, I don't know, instagram? But you know what? Quality over quantity.
Oh my lord. Gruber is really doubling down on his defence of Facebook using the argument of "how dare you tell me I have to stop robbing banks? How else can I preserve these profits?". Along with a sprinkle of not understanding that the DMS only applies to large dominant companies.
Did anyone write a good rebuttal to this yet? I need something to clean the bad taste from my mouth.
@tfb I'm not sure I need to attribute his actions to him running the errands of the government. Regardless of reasons, it's clear that he's set out on a crusade against big bad EU. This is exactly in line with the unusually frank statements from Apple.
I think he's supporting Facebook here based on the My enemy's enemy is my friend idea.
He really needs to emphasise how the EU is being bad, to the point of completely ignoring facts that he is clearly aware of (because it was pointed out by that fantastic article by @ianbetteridge ) just because it helps the fiction that the EU is doing this to support European businesses.
@clacke@catsalad I've recently used (or tried to use) the Libreoffice Java API's. They're... interesting.
Let's just say that the code examples use a list of currencies, one of which being DEM. Which should tell you something about when they were developed.
@catsalad Oh boy. I've had the misfortune to have developed an Eclipse plugin. The internal API's are like if someone read the design patterns book, asked themselves which ones actually make sense in the context of their software and said Yes Please.
I will now do what all obnoxious language designers do, and that is to show how nice and concise an algorithm is in one's own language (this is a version where repeats are not allowed):
(?⍨≢)⍛⊇ "has" "anyone" "really" "been" "far"
Well, this only generates the permutation. Unfortunately, interspersing the spaces between the words is a bit ugly:
@Sandra Thank you for sharing this. I don't think most people who set dark mode as default realise how difficult it can be do read (and the ones who do but still do it without an option to change can go... (I was about to write something very rude)).
For me, the dark mode doesn't look as bad, but instead what happens is that everything around me starts flashing (similar to what would happen if you look into the sun).
