A programmer builds the software. An engineer designs it.


if my PC takes more than 15 seconds to shut down im flipping the power switch



Oh, boooo. Boooo! Come on, you were lining up a classic crowd favorite, the “Real Engineers understand the fundamentals” attack, then they hit you with the ol’ “Some programming courses teach the fundamentals” and you come back with this? No pivot to credentialing, no tirade about how software is all virtual so it’s not the same as building something with real materials, no grand declaration about how real engineers have to take their jobs seriously because lives are at stake? Just “no it’s programming not engineering they’re different”? Weak.

Back in my day we used to argue about whether or not software engineering is real engineering with some gumption.




More likely daily/weekly unfortunately


Just a heads up that WSL stands for “Windows Subsystem for Linux”, not Windows Socket Layer.


Voting and not voting are equally meaningless actions, pushing voting as something important and the democrats as something to strive for is bullshit that only serves to obscure reality and help perpetuate the status quo that is built on the mass exploitation and murder of those of us outside the empire.


Pretty good. Very strong. I used to distil my own rotgut, and his was smoother than mine. Probably about 40abv, but he didn’t use an alcomometer so he wasn’t really sure. I drank all of it and didn’t go blind


If both are equivalent, then why did you ask me to go fuck myself?


If I had billionaire money, I’d be a full on rapist. Make a Wish, Children’s hospitals, battered women support groups, etc. Hold up… How’s the word meaning “gives to charity” spelled? 🤔


I think I figured out my issue, literally a few minutes ago. I’ve never really dealt with ethernet, so I just learned my bios might have some sort of “wake up on lan” setting enabled that stops me from fully shutting down.

Why would I ever want something like that, though?


Voting or not voting in America is irrelevant one is not better than the other. Your vote means nothing you have a uniparty that works for the interest of a ruling class to which they have given 2 names. I often wish Americans would remember how change was truly affected by groups like the Suffragettes, and those that made up movements like the labour movements and civil rights movement etc (hint: it wasn’t by voting for 99.9% Hitler). If they would start seeing people outside euroamerika as equal humans that would be nice too but I can only live and hope.


Uh if you can pilot that jet and own it outright, you have a whole-ass business. They’ll be fine.


velvet paper; It also feels deliciously buttery dragging a dry pastel over it or a very soft vine charcoal.


It’s so weird seeing the billionaire class out and about just being the worst people imaginable because if I had that kind of money you would never see me again.


Can we get him back in the MCU? Pretty please?




Momma I’m comin’ 127.0.0.1


That is pretty wild! I would have never even suspected!


I was born in the ‘70s. I grew up on those game shows. They do not hold a candle to the brazen contempt for humanity that Mr Beast videos have.


Have you tried applying as a professional Archer landing all of your shots and then being told actually they’re looking for another candidate that better matches their internal preferences. (Whoops! Overqualified and expects to be paid)



I just got permanently banned from Reddit because they detected automated activity on my account…..

2-3 years ago, my last account got Deactivated because of suspicious behavior… I hadn’t even used it in three months and then I got that message.

I got no one else to talk to about this so I just thought I’d let you guys know


Ok, then why is it better not to vote? Or are you saying it’s better to vote republican?

Which action, in regards to voting, improves this situation?



I mean, The Hobbit was primarily written to be a children’s bedtime story. The fact that adults latched onto it was sort of an accident. Tolkien was primarily a *linguist*, not a *writer*. He developed several fake languages, and wanted an excuse to use them. So he did a ton of world building, just to have a reason to write song lyrics in elvish and dwarven.


And it is brought again so we are distracted and not asking questions why the pedophiles are protected by this government.



Free for the poor. Others have to pay a nominal fee. I pay 2 rupees to see the doctor and 20-30 rupees for tests / medicines.

(100 rupees = 1 USD / Euro or 7 CNY approximately)


Well today I learn. I was under the impression that c-suite are protected but licensed professionals get liability.


Eggshell finish.

It has a nice tactile feel, but without the visual distraction of linens or laids.


Ah, that’s right. So only really maddening, and not totally.


An example I learned of recently is Smedley Butler. Super decorated military careerist, but once he got out, he wrote War is a Racket and called out the corporate profiteers directly. The man basically singlehandedly foiled an attempt to coup the US government and prevented fascism from corporations like JP Morgan, City National Bank (Citibank), General Motors, Goodyear, Standard Oil, and more. Congress investigated and confirmed there was a coup planned and they would have acted. And since these companies don’t exist anymore, we can see that they were prosecuted and held accountable.

Oh wait, that’s right, they slandered Butler, called the whole thing a hoax and paid off the papers and members of congress to run the stories so that no one faced accountability.



This channel is run by a real civil engineer, he’s released some great videos about the challenges of maintaining an electric grid.

Practical Engineering is awesome. For those that don’t want to deal with YouTube, his content is available on Nebula as well.


It’s like a reverse prank – instead of “Whale oil beef hooked” or “Mike Hunt” we were pranked into not swearing


Paul, a trainee in a social class who rulers conscribe to do their thinking for them:


I think if you watched HyperNormalization you pretty much get the gist.


One time I was in line to piss before watching a Mastodon concert, and I really had to piss, and I stood in line with like 50 dudes waiting for ye olde washroom, and there was like two urinals and a stall. Well fuck me the stall was taken, so not wanting to be a rude dick to every other dude in line I tried to use the urinal. So I whipped out mah johnson, and it was pretty much like the comic, got pee shy, held it for like 30 I don’t know 45 seconds or something. Nothing. I’m like looking over my shoulder at this massive line of of dudes behind me. Fuck. So I just pretended to shake it, shoved it back into my pants and was miserable having to piss the whole Mastodon set.

I fucking hate having to piss in public around people. It’s so terrible.



If you’re from outside the US, then what’s your stake in this?

I don’t know maybe the fact that the us is a giant murderous empire that kills thousands(+) every year through direct military action and indirectly through financial warfare and has destroyed multiple countries? Really confirming Americans don’t see people outside euroamerika as human.

I was talking to the fuckface saying that both parties are equivalent

Which party destroyed Libya? Which party oversaw and supported the beginning of this current escalation to overt genocide in Palestine? Which party filled Serbia with depleted uranium that continues to have negative effects in health outcomes to this day? Which party oversaw the drone strikes on weddings and innocents in Yemen and across the middle east?

I could keep going and also talk about the bi-partisan enforcement of sanctions that kill thousands(+) every year, or the backsites like Guantanamo that continue to run under both parties and so on.


It sounds like what you want is best served with WSL installed on top of win 11. Windows socket layer will allow you to install any mainstream Linux distribution on top of Windows, but you would have to access it through WSL


the nothing of the blue guy

The Palestinian genocide began under the blue guy


Wish I could’ve used this method to regain OnlyFans access – their verifier took multiple photos of my head for a 3D scan, and the site geolocks its users like Steam, so VPNs wouldn’t work.


“Being American” is apparently a facade based off something that appeared briefly in the 1860s.

You’d think it’d be from 1776, but they love to rip on the French who 100% carried them to independence and was still nice guy enough to gift them a statue for it too. So, first half of the 1860s; that’s the first and only time where they stood up for themselves and actually won. The only time they were being American and not just playing make-believe.


His sister didn’t see the future.


I really should watch the Odyssey; I immediately knew what movie and scene this was from without even having seen the trailer because it lines up so well with what I imagined from reading that scene, that’s often the sign of a very good adaptation.



Oh look a rich person controlling other people with money. 🤮




Just aligns better with the rest of the language, like “tout”


I really dislike Plato.

I dislike even more how fucking right that dude was.

At least sometimes.


that’s alright, that’s what drivers with reverse cameras do as well, just stare at it and then act all surprised when I slap their car because they almost backed into me while I was out of view of their camera

I strongly dislike all these driver aids being standard. it seems to just make dumber drivers.


What the actual fuck?…

I thought I invented this or something, now I have to reconsider my entire life.. I literally used to do this at work in a single stall bathroom but you never know when you might come out and there might be a line of even one person let alone four or five and they’re like what the hell you doing in there buddy. But seriously some psychological stuff like that can get you over the hump sometimes. It’s really something to consider if you are having problems. I’d prefer to sit down all together, I do all the time at home, but public restrooms, yeah, not unless it’s an emergency in the other department.

Now though, it’s mostly prostate and bladder issues at 43, but hey, if that’s the worst of my problems I guess hell, It could be worse. I mean it’s not necessarily the least of my problems but hey, I guess if (trying) to piss standing up is what I’m up against, at least I’m still upright to try, right?

Fuck I don’t know where I was going with this but anyway yeah I guess I’m not the only one lol

🤷🏽


42 is the answer to life

4W0 is a standard brown for Toyota






A criminal living in jail to win 500k? It’s not like he can leave…..


Programmers and Engineers are different things, tho


I think you might like this video

Benn calls it “leveragism” but basically it’s about control. Rather than making more money, it’s more valuable to devalue/strip the power of communities to fight against you so that you can more easily institute your policies. When you think of it like that, stuff that just seems wildly cruel starts to make sense.

But really, Benn is just analyzing material conditions and coming to a logical conclusion. I don’t think he’s read Marx, but it’s basically Marx lol.


“The gameplay is tedious, plot is boring, and the graphics could use some work. 2/10 would not recommend.”


I hope to never be a hero, this country treats its heroes so poorly.


Idk. Looks like the lady from Resident Evil to me. So maybe?


I wasn’t talking to you.

I was talking to the fuckface saying that both parties are equivalent, when one of them would love nothing more than to kill me for NOTHING.

If you’re from outside the US, then what’s your stake in this?


I was reading about the French Revolution yesterday and the thing that really got things started was mass starvation. Something like 90% of French citizens were actively starving.

There will need to be a singular suffering affecting 90+% of people before we’ll all take to the streets and put heads on pikes. I’m guessing climate change might get us there.


The Epstein class found out that scandals don’t stick anymore if you just flood the zone, which what they did and have done ever since.


He also built one with Johnny Storm in the main universe. I think it’s at the bottom of the Hudson, though.



This is very much a US specific thing


Thought experiment is a little generous. It’s atheists inventing the concept of God and spooking themselves about it. It makes a lot of assumptions about this hypothetical super computer that don’t make much sense if you’re not in a rationalist cult.


Sorry, but I don’t really care about e-girls. I only care about i-ladies.



It’s so insanely fun though isnt it. Especially in VR. Nordschliffe at night in the rain in a Xbow, radio blasting, it’s just sublime



it has deviated in unforseen ways to say august in qubecois you simply say: u



As a terrible speller, who probably would do something like that, it seems like a logical conclusion to me.



I don’t think it’s necessary to say Twitter sucks when posting a screenshot of a tweet.


If I brought my wife the pink one knowing damn well there was a dinosaur one, I’d be out in the street




Sounds awesome indeed…. And this maximum is yearly?

We have a mandatory out-of-pocket maximum (set by the government) of ~ €400, which, if you don’t expect to use much health care, you can increase to ~ €900 in exchange for a reduction in your monthly fee. Still, some people complain about that maximum, but I think they would complain a lot less if they knew a little more about the US system.


Oh, sure. Mock Christianity. But no one bats an eye when Tolkien retcons half of The Hobbit and gives an excuse like “well the book is written by Bilbo and he lied at first”.


Meme Misuse, in my Lemmy?

It’s more likely than you think.


he understood it perfectly you dirty dirty boy. :p


If Spite brings spite: you’re not on the high road looking down


Unfortunately there are many developers that apply the Banality of Evil to their doings.


Yep. It hit Japan hard too, anti mask anti vax fuckwits multiplied, oh and vaccines cause autism too didn’t ya know

Carl Sagan demon haunted world


The mod was primetime for multiplayer etiquette.

Sure it descended into KoS shit-talking from time to time, but it was still miles better than any large gaming community.


During an ad break you need another ad break.

Ray(ad break)cons

Now that is some Quality content so worth the money.


Which is completely stupid, you can perform engineering without having paid the order and it doesn’t feel like there’s any other word that explains the job quite as easily.

Looking up synonyms though it seems I could legally call myself a “software mastermind”, “software plotter” or “software captain”.


That’s mostly a lie companies tell to anybody that will listen so when they announce they’re outsourcing those jobs they can point at it and say that they didn’t have any other choice.


It’s because we (Americans) not only hate everyone but also ourselves.
