@union Certainly gives that impression.

@shibao @emilis Works well, it's not the bloat I'm worried about, but its extreme ties to the Linux kernel internals. It means that a lot of the free software we're getting is no longer software that can be ported to tons of different OSes, but instead specific to a single OS, with a single kernel.

@deprecated_ii Honestly, Python makes certain things so much quicker to code that you can write things very quickly with it. Simple database functions that take dozens of lines in C can be done in a single line with Python. Code that takes one list in, transforms it, and spits another list out can be a single line in python and still be readable, while you're fighting with the memory management in C. You wouldn't want to use it super frequently used code, but for dev tools its fine.

@union Lame. Glad I never signed up there. I didn't particularly care about the political orientation of where I went, just that it was distributed and harder to censor.

@Cheeseness I compared this to last year's big bundle, and this one has at least 40 items that weren't included last year, so it's still a really good deal even if you picked that one up.

@Marko John Campbell's been doing videos on this, basically the people doing injections aren't aspirating the needle to check if they're in muscle or a blood vessel because It's not part of their standard practice to do this. If it is injected into the blood stream it can cause these problems, so they should probably be checking this.

@Clifford Also, there's instructions https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.10/Doc here on compiling the docs, then you could use w3m or lynx to browse them, probably.

@Clifford The cpython repository has the entire library reference from the website in it. Doc/library/ all as .rst files, so you can grep them or edit them directly.

@union @Johncdvorak (After all, the "who benefits" of discrediting mRNA vaccines? Also the CCP, because their vaccines are some of the only ones other than India's and Novavax that don't use either DNA or mRNA technology.)

@union @Johncdvorak I read the rest, but that paragraph pretty much clinched it as "this is probably CCP propaganda"

@Johncdvorak The last paragraph is basically one of the dozens of conspiracy theories that have been floated by Chinese media as their attempts at trying to deflect responsibility for SARS-CoV-2, along with the idea that it came in on frozen seafood, that it originated in Italy, that it came from white tailed deer in the US... Every week they come up with a new excuse to throw out there and see what sticks. I suspect the paper is just another propaganda tool from them.

@union You probably have a normal one then, rather than a headline grabbing firebrand like the one I have. Who also ran a open carry cafe up in Rifle before being a congress critter.

@union Hey, my congress critter talking with Elon Musk.

@stuff @parker @Moon @coolhandjames @coyote @icedquinn The ACE2 receptor is responsible for regulating your blood pressure, and people who are overweight already have blood pressure problems. When the virus sends your blood pressure regulation out of whack people with lower base blood pressure are probably going to deal with that better. Add blood clotting problems to that from the virus clumping blood cells...

@pro @hector (I dropped Google phones as soon as they released the first Pixel though, when they moved away from the hack-ability of the nexus phones.)

@pro @hector Well, I think I'll just continue to buy in the midrange phone category, where headphone jacks still exist. You can't easily pipe wireless into my home mixer setup so I plug the phone in when I want to listen to something off of it. (Of course, I still use wireless headphones, just have every other device going into the bluetooth transmitter is wired.)

@pro @anti @pernia I've always found that the answer to that is "when you pick up a book and learn it yourself" because most universities you have to go outside the curriculum to learn many pieces of computers.

@ademalsasa my Pinephone currently has Manjaro with plasma mobile, but I want to try PostmarketOS on it.

@pro @anti @pernia On the plus side, It's also Java that has been tweaked for higher performance a bit. Java tends to copy data constantly when passing things around, while C# has a focus on doing far more by reference and far less by copying. The performance will still be nowhere near a good C, C++, or Rust program though. C# is used in indie games a bit with XNA and Unity.
