Skull giver

Dr PVV is altijd wel een uitzondering geweest op het politieke toneel, maar ze zijn de afgelopen jaren wel echt gegroeid als het op wappies aankomt. Teleurstellend.

Hopelijk klapt de overheid snel bij de eerste de beste nazi-uitspraak van de PVV die niet goed valt, dan kunnen we hopelijk een betere regering verkiezen. Zo niet wordt het denk ik tijd om naar een land te emigreren waar deze mafketels minder invloed hebben, al is Nederland helaas niet de enige plek waar deze onzin speelt.

Dankjewel voor het uitgebreide antwoord. Die Faber kan dom spelen, maar is duidelijk gewoon een complotdenker van de hoogste orde.

Man man man, dit wordt onze Trump-administratie.

Heeft iemand een clip van wat ze daadwerkelijk gezegd heeft? Ik ben niet verbaasd dat ze bij OH een nazi uitnodigen en omvolking bespreken maar ik zie weinig quotes van Klever zelf.

Klever heeft het in haar antwoord over een demografische ontwikkeling en dat lijkt op zichzelf staande natuurlijk meer dan correct. Op mafklappers als Erdogan na is er natuurlijk niet een grote boze buitenlander dit probeert Nederland om te volken, maar het lijkt me evident dat Nederland qua samenstelling aan het veranderen is (Nederlanders hebben gemiddeld genomen minder dan 2 kinderen op de bible belt en immigrantenfamilies na, en de bevolkingsgroei blijft alleen door immigratie in stand).

Her feit blijft dat Klever de “discussie” aan wilde gaan met een samenzweringsmafketel, maar eerlijk gezegd zie ik op het nieuws alleen maar berichten over dingen die andere mensen gezegd hebben waar zij toevallig naast zat.

De PVV-stemmers zijn er altijd geweest, maar tot nu toe konden andere partijen Wilders gewoon laten schreeuwen door niet met hem samen te werken. Het is de eerste keer dat de PVV de grootste is, maar ze zijn al jaren heel erg groot.

Ik denk niet dat zoveel mensen hun kop in het zand steken. Ik ben bang dat een groot gedeelte van Nederland het met de PVV eens is.

C is a terrible language, but it’s at least reasonably concise and readable when you need to punish it into doing what you want without crashing.

VBA is clunky for just about everything it does, because it tries to be as readable as SQL but fails miserably. I’ve never found out why all it calls all of my variables dim but it sure doesn’t provide reasonable code.

You don’t get the memory corruption you get when writing C code (though you can make it happen) but it’s just not a very suitable language for just about anything. It tries to take the easiest thing in programming, the syntax, and optimising on making that easy.

The biggest problem with VBA is that it’s abused by office workers that need a real application but can’t and won’t get any time and budget to make or acquire one. You end up with the world’s shittiest code imaginable, written by people who aren’t programmers, driven to desperation. Opening someone else’s VBA code is like opening someone’s browser history, no matter how good your opinion of them is, you’ll find something that’ll make you question your view about them if you scroll long enough.

The “real programmers” that like writing code full of memory corruption and null pointers have a hate boner for everything that tries to make their job easier, probably because they feel like they’re only valued for being able to write code and afraid of being found out. Visual Basic 6 allowed Junior programmers to write applications that worked fine for literal decades in a week, while any “hardcore” developer would’ve taken a month getting the string validation right.

The same senseless hate is also present with PHP, where the arguments against the language usually come down to “I don’t like the syntax” and “this ten year old code base I used it in once was super bad”. VB also has the downside of being slow, although with VB.NET you can write powerful VB applications that perform as well as their C# counterparts.

I tried to go back into VB after learning other languages but I just can’t think of any way in which it’s a better choice than something like C#. The Basic ecosystem Microsoft set up, where you can throw together an application in minutes and it just works, is absolutely amazing, and something I still miss on Windows every day. The language itself, with all of its quirks and stupid syntax structures, I don’t.

One thing I’ll give VB is that it has the most hilarious but sometimes quite practical error handling statement I have ever seen (ON ERROR RESUME NEXT) that will literally ignore any error and just keep on trucking. Whenever I see three levels of methods try/catching each other and passing error objects along at the very end, I long for an ON ERROR RESUME NEXT that would just let me do all of the error handling at the very end.

It’s true, these days Filezilla runs on Windows 10 and uses sftp instead of FTP!

Apple does actually build quite a few privacy preserving technologies into its operating system. The only unique identifier they intend to provide is the ID that the “we want to stalk you” prompts are referring to.

Tracking companies have proven to find new ways to track users, unfortunately, but they are trying their very best. Something you can’t say of Microsoft or Google.

As far as Apple has been capable of so far, the only unique device identifier apps on their platform can get access to is the one that you need to accept a prompt for. However, they know damn well that there are ways of fingerprinting devices that they can’t prevent (without fucking up the user experience) so it would be dishonest to pretend that saying “no” blocks these attempts.

Apps requiring accounts to be useful, for instance, can be tracked by the user ID on the app’s end. That’s not something Apple can ever prevent through technical means.

I’ve got my Mastodon and Lemmy servers hooked up to a postgres server that’s running separately, and the CPU usage between the two is now about the same.

That actually proves that Lemmy is more efficient, because it’s handling a hell of a lot more data. I don’t follow a lot of big accounts, and I’m the only user on my server, so I rarely get more than 40 posts + metadata through Mastodon. On Lemmy, however, each post can easily produce hundreds of events to process because of comments and likes all federating out.

In total, Lemmy seems to be heavier, but only because it does more. Mastodon is super inefficient, especially with things like RAM. I think it has something to do with the framework and language it’s running on; Gitlab seems to be using the same runtime and that eats through RAM like crazy as well.

You need to ask because Apple can’t enforce on an API level that apps don’t track you. Less vague language may lure people into a false sense of security. In theory Apple should be safeguarding you from malicious apps, in practice they regularly turn a blind eye once an app is big enough that an app not working becomes a problem for Apple rather than for the app developers.

I also think the language in that prompt is very much intentional. Apple doesn’t want apps to track their users, so I think they’ve added an ick-factor to the prompt. On Android, buttons are labels with things like “allow” or “deny”.

The only way to get rid of the tracking system is to make it interesting for companies to stop tracking you. 1 star rating + uninstall + switch to a competitor is the best you can do.

It just shows them as normal messages in the channel they’re in. On one client, images seem to disappear in threads for some reason. Bit weird. Could be a quirk of my setup, though.

When you puke, you get rid of the alcohol in your stomach. However, if the alcohol is already in your system, puking won’t help.

If your body is continuing to make you puke, you’ve probably poisoned yourself. Your body is desperately trying to get rid of the toxic substance killing you, but it’s too late to eject it out through the mouth, so it just has to tank the damage by sacrificing liver cells and brain cells, which are both things your body Does Not Like.

If you’re still drinking after your body triggered its poison response, well, it’s trying to stop you from poisoning yourself.

If you regularly drink until you puke, something may be wrong with you medically (making you sick after one or two glasses of alcohol) or you’re killing yourself (by drinking way too much alcohol). Either way, you need to get yourself help.

Given your “it becomes like I drink water”, I think you have a serious problem.

I use the mautrix one in self bot mode. May get my account banned at some point but it seems to work well enough. No idea how well it works to merge a Discord server with a Matrix space, though.

Replies and emoji reactions work. Media uploads work too. It seems to ignore the file upload limit, though, so large images + non-nitro accounts may cause confusion.

It doesn’t support some features (threads, notably) but I don’t think many people will be sad about that.

Is there a database of “this IP belongs to this state” these companies use? Or do they just use GeoIP stuff? I don’t want my Lemmy server to accidentally violate American laws and get in trouble/banned, so I may need to start doing some IP filtering myself.

In theory you get the benefit of them banning your Drive Google account and leaving your email Google account alone. Google will probably link the two, but I don’t think the ban will cross accounts automatically.

These companies typically use AI analyses of uploaded files to prevent people from doing stuff like upload child porn. Unfortunately, they can’t distinguish between “pedo shit” and “picture of naked child with a nasty rash emailed to a doctor”.

Several people have lost years of email because they uploaded pictures like those to OneDrive. By separating accounts, you can keep your files and your email separate.

There have also been instances of people attacking others by inviting them to WhatsApp groups (which still isn’t disabled by default) and spamming a bunch of illegal shit. If you have WhatsApp set to auto backup, you may just end up sending that illegal shit to Google, who in turn detects it and kicks you out of your account.

For this reason, I think it’s a good idea to separate any cloud storage accounts from your email accounts.

Google will typically ask you to add a DNS entry, or an HTML tag to the home page. This will usually prove ownership. If you lose access, I think this mechanism should automatically kick you off at some point.

They used to offer free domain services, I think, or at least very cheap subscriptions. I think they’ve moved away from those since.

Same with Microsoft. I have a Microsoft account for a Gmail address, but Microsoft doesn’t realise that they should disable Outlook, leading to the funny weird situation where you can log in to Outlook.com with a Gmail address and enter a completely useless empty mailbox. I bet Google has the same quirk.

Alright, I guess I could enter IMAP or POP details and use Outlook as some kind of email client by proxy, but that’s an even worse idea.

Apply the steps on https://dontkillmyapp.com/ to Google Play Services and Google Play Messaging, that may help. Also check if you have an app running in the background that eats all of your RAM and forces the OS to clear up scheduleable tasks.

Thirty minutes is way longer of a delay than I’ve ever seen. You may want to try a factory reset in case it’s a ROM issue. Fairphone has had its ups and downs over the years when it comes to the built in software.

I’ve heard a lot of people about how much they enjoy working fully remotely. Almost all of them have a separate home office room to work in.

Stress lowers your immune response (as does smoking, which many people do to combat stress). Any natural healing process will go faster if you cut out stress factors. The stress itself can’t cause the ulcers to appear on their own.

It’s also possible to get ulcers from certain medication (including over the counter painkillers) so if the cooks are lacing the food with medication they could still cause them, I suppose…
