I don’t know, if there’s any hosted instances of it, or how mature it is, but one of the Lemmy devs has experimented with using the frontend of phpBB (basically the software for old-school forums) with a Lemmy backend: !lemmybb@lemmy.ml
To my knowledge, they had some pretty quick successes with it and one might be able to just slap this onto a server right now…
“Röntgen sicherheits schrauben dreher” reads like someone’s really out of breath…
On a phonetic level, some specialist will be able to discern the different E-sounds, but they’re still very similar. It’s definitely not like the English pronunciation where it’s completely different sounds.
What the hell, it’s originally Spanish where all the Es sound the same, then it got popularized by a German brand, where all the Es sound the same, how did it become Merceydees in English?
Some e-mail clients, like for example Thunderbird, do also support RSS.
I mean, that is more obvious and more readable.
But what I really don’t like about it, is that it’s less clear to what it applies. For example:
not list.isEmpty() and x > 3
Is that not (a and b) or (not a) and b?
Obviously, you can define precedence rules, like there also is for !, but that’s again just additional things to learn.
I’m definitely not generally opposed to special characters. I do also hate significant whitespace, because I find that less readable than braces.
For me, it’s pretty much the opposite. With the exclamation mark, I’ll see the inversion, then I’ll read the actual condition and try to make sense of it, and then I’ll remember that this thing was supposed to be inverted. Or I won’t remember, that’s unfortunately also a possibility.
Might just be what we’re used to, though. I have been working in a codebase with mostly .not() for the past year.
Oh, I know where it came from. That’s also why we have all kinds of maths operators in the syntax of virtually any programming language. Because back when we didn’t yet know where this programming thing was going, we just threw in the conventions of maths and theoretical logic.
What I’m saying is that we have our own conventions now, i.e. objects and methods, so I think, it’s worth reconsidering whether we still want to have these old conventions that are special cases in the syntax.
Alright, spicy opinion time: I think, the ! operator is dumb.
It’s yet another symbol with a meaning, which people have to learn.
And it’s easy to overlook, especially in languages with parentheses in their if-conditions:
if (!list.isEmpty()) { ... }
I think that just a .not() method on Booleans is cooler:
if (list.isEmpty().not()) { ... }
You can do this in Rust, which is where I have that idea from: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=dedb71bd84243c78ee0afad0f30b80c3
What the hell, how have I never opened that? 😅
I’ve been using webpages for this, but this is so much quicker.
I don’t think, there’s a special trick to making them. You can look at existing kaomoji lists and pick out individual symbols to create the shape that you want.
Or you can combine kamojis. For example, maybe you want a cat handing over a flower, but you want it to look sad, like an apology.
Then you find a sad cat kaomoji:
/ᐠ • ˕ •マ
And combine it with the kaomoji you posted:
⠀/\__/\
(• ˕ •)
/ >🌷< \
Well, could be better, but just as an example. Combining different faces and arm shapes and such is relatively easy.
As for managing them, I usually see tags assigned to them. On the webpage that you posted, it’s the little text boxes below the kaomoji.
But in its simplest form, you could have a text document and just write a few words above each kaomoji, like e.g. “sad cat flower”. Then if you search the text document with Ctrl+F for “cat”, this will be one of the results.

There is the concept of a “slowrun”.
That’s the journalists that inflate the meaning of these studies. The study itself will just say “we did measurements like this, here’s the data” and probably even “we should do more studies to confirm or deny or narrow it down”.
.desktop files are a Linux/Unix thing. Basically, it’s a fancy shortcut, usually to an application, which allows specifying additional infos, like e.g. translated names.
In particular, the contents of the application menu are defined by just a folder filled with .desktop files.
Here’s their FAQ answer for that: https://just.systems/man/en/what-are-the-idiosyncrasies-of-make-that-just-avoids.html
I imagine, there’s various smaller differences in how the recipes are defined, but yeah, this is the big one.
I find that Just feels a lot like just a collection of script files, with built-in error handling for argument parsing and during execution. And it also offers easier discovery of available tasks and how to use them.
For example Rust needs to be able to dynamically allocate memory for all of its syntax to be intact.
Hmm, you got an example of what you mean?
Rust can be used without allocations, as is for example commonly done with embedded.
That does mean, you can’t use dynamically sized types, like String, Vec and PathBuf, but I wouldn’t consider those part of the syntax, they’re rather in the std lib…
The tragic part is that the EU is called the “UE” in French…
I found this tutorial pretty helpful for that: http://intorust.com/
You can presumably skip the first two chapters…
Man, you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, much less its title, but when I heard “Throne and Liberty” for the first time, it immediately sounded like something lazily slapped together. I guess, it makes sense that specifically the localization is lazily slapped together.
