He doesn’t need to name a successor. His followers just need to be convinced that he named one.

Yes! I’m so sad they’ve moved away from this. I could pull out my phone AND unlock it in the same grab.

Rust is one of those things that every time I look into it, I don’t really follow what makes it so good. What’s a good starter project to learn the language and get a sense of what makes it worthwhile over the established stuff?

Once someone asked if Stephen and Stephen were pronounced the same. Presumably they meant “Steven” for one of those, but the question as written was dumb.

As cool as that is, it does end up looking confusing. Maybe some quick visual indication (possibly customized by each user) to show source of comment could help.

Yeah, but a lot of people come to the agreement that they’ll get married without an official proposal date getting set.

Oof. Sad to learn. I know to some extent people are a product of their time, but this seems like a trite worse than “he was born almost 100 years ago!”

Ultra-right wing groups slowly taking over various branches of the government because roughly 30% of the population will always vote for them, no matter what.

I would just keep working. UBI should be unlocking the ability for us to pursue our passions, hobbies, and mental/physical health. If I just gotta work anyways, I choose my current job.

Yup. Literally just pinch the bottom nub and it’s open.

Yes, kinda. It’s a go-to for white nationalist types to complain about a lack of diversity in opinions when they really mean they’re mad everyone hates bigotry. They feel that all conversation is biased simply because the people don’t seem to want to be haters as much as they are. So it’s not really that they want more diversity, it’s that they want the conversations to be diverse enough to accept their views.

I usually clarify that it’s been a very long time and I want it all gone.

Are you wearing shoes without socks?

The asklemmy ones are the annoying ones. It’s less a question and more a conversation starter

I’ve also assumed the same. There’s no way it’s a rare enough edge case not to be impactful

I would wager it comes from a history of being a trade powerhouse. I’m no expert, though.

Kinda. A lot of them had this very strong opinion that they were basically an economic powerhouse and were actually better off without the trades that were lopsided against them. They’re learning how trade power actually works.

Carbon neutral means you try to “offset” your carbon. It’s half scam, half helpful. The idea is if your company produces an unavoidable amount of carbon, you offset this by supporting Carbon-free solutions elsewhere making your net production “neutral”. It’s a scam because sometimes the offset is stuff that was never going to produce carbon, and also because using other areas to claim “neutral” causes a weird double count. Carbon neutral is less good of a solution than carbon free, but it’s a step in the right direction.

However, target year of 2050?? Fucking what? That’s not something to brag about, that’s painfully and embarrassingly slow. That’s embarrassingly slow to be carbon free, much less carbon neutral.

It feels like almost a certainty. The real fun part will be the Americans acting like the schism hasn’t happened while the rest of the world will be distinctly aware of the split.

Oh is that why I can’t seem to figure out where the damn search function is anymore? That’s legit been driving me nuts for a few years.
