None of that “nuance” changes anything though, there’s still no legally mandated holiday allowance in the United States.

Before we start rolling out conspiracy theories and such, let’s all apply a little Occam’s razor to this.

The simplest explanation is that OP is full of shit.

You must be new to Lemmy, 3h of sunlight is way more than most of us basement dwellers get.

To this day I still feel superior for knowing how to use the T9 when everyone else was mashing buttons like plebs.

Everyone needs to watch BoJack. Everyone needs that trauma in their life.

This is a fan mod for Simpsons hit and run, FYI for those wondering

I am not suggesting for a second that he’s completely sane or that dementia isn’t taking hold, I’m merely pointing out that this kind of thing has been his MO for decades at this point. Truth never matters to him or his base.

Why do these kinds of headlines keep getting posted suggesting that Trump is being forgetful? He’s not, he knows exactly who was in charge, but he knows his base is stupid and will get riled up at anything he wants to tell them.

It’s just a constant stream of outrage to keep the base riled.

You’ve been making shit up since this whole debate started. You’re the textbook definition of “perfection is the enemy of good enough” because 99% of people will find that a VPN is good enough but according to you they’re worthless.

Please don’t tell me what I am focusing on, when I haven’t even said it

I literally quoted you, so don’t try playing the “I never actually said that” card.

It’s ironic that you’re now complaining about context and strawmen when you yourself started it with the whole “anyone who wants to know who you are…” argument. This mysterious “anyone” is the ultimate strawman because they’re anonymous and all encompassing. Meanwhile, you have zero idea what anyone wants from their VPN’s so you’re making the broad, sweeping statements while lacking any context yourself.

A dumb take is, to pay for something you might get nothing from

And which VPN provider is it you’re getting “nothing” from? There seems to be a budding market for VPN’s out there, lots of people are paying for them and continue to do so, why do you think that is? Because the whole world is stupid and it’s a pointless waste of money? Or because they are actually in fact getting some kind of use from them?

VPN’s have a myriad of uses, you’re focusing on some ambiguous nation-state attacker tracking you down for whatever reason. Meanwhile, quite a lot of users would just like to watch porn without having to submit ID. I’d say they’re getting plenty of use out of their VPN for that.

Yes locks on your door are pointless because if someone wants to break into your house they’re going to do it once way or another, especially if you leave the window open

This is a dumb take.

It’s all good mate, we’ve all got over excited at times.

I mean if we’re being honest then pretty much all 90’s trek fits the description I’ve given.

Don’t get me wrong, in principle I completely agree that more episodes can mean more character development and that’s a good thing, but it’s not as simple as “more episodes = better”, there has to be intent and desire there to make good things rather than a specific number of things.

If releasing the files wasn’t likely to have an impact, they’d have been released by now.

For even some of the most diehard MAGA folks, diddling kids is a step too far.

Of course there’s a likelihood that the sheer number of folks involved would mean a huge amount of current and prominent politicians would have to go and that would almost certainly amount to what could best be described as a “reset” of the current political system and, well, maybe that’s the real reason they haven’t been released because neither side wants that, even though it’s painfully obvious that the system is broken and needs it.

The article says:

The S1500 features a main airfoil and an annular wing that together form a giant duct. Inside this duct are 12 turbine-generator sets, each rated at 100 kW.

That suggests to me (admittedly a layman) that each blimp is more like 1.2MW?

Most developers are writing for developers who have approximately the same skill level and knowledge

I think you’re correct about this, but I also think that’s part of the problem.

On the one hand you can have technical tutorials for technical people, but to your point assuming the audience has the same skill level and knowledge is actually a mistake - no two people share the same same life, so while it’s reasonable to assume a certain level of knowledge, you still need to consider that there may be gaps - small gaps but gaps all the same and that it’s worth being explicit about things to avoid ambiguity. A common pitfall I see in a lot of tutorials or guides is not being explicit about file paths (“just add this to the config folder” - which folder? Where?), or not correctly steering the user towards the relevant documentation about configuration values while still expecting them to insert some config file specific to their system, stuff like that.

The other end of the spectrum - the beginner, to your point might not be the target audience but a lot of people don’t realise that those folks exist. The absolute classic example I see of this is Linux for the Everyman - Lemmy is very big on promoting Linux and moving folks away from Windows/MacOS but there’s a bit of a disconnect because a lot of tutorials exist that base level of knowledge that a complete beginner doesn’t have. So they’re both not the target audience but expected to learn that stuff - and of course it doesn’t work and they stick to what they do know.

All this is to say, writing tutorials is a skill in itself and part of that skill is knowing who your target audience really is and knowing where your knowledge is his experience from working at something for so long or a basic level of understanding you expect a user to have.

It used to be 26, so you could plan shows covering half a calendar year, then over the years it got cut down more and more. And it was probably not a bad thing because you typically had the same budget but meant you didn’t have to do a cheap clip show to pad out the numbers.

That’s also why you see a lot of shows with 13 episodes, that seemingly arbitrary number is “half” a traditional season. Even Netflix, despite not traditionally caring too much about seasonal stuff or drip feeding week to week, has a lot of 13 episode seasons.

I guess at some point people wanted even numbers (10) as 13 does feel a bit arbitrary even if there’s a reason for it.

Personally for me I’d rather have 10 great quality episodes than 26 episodes where maybe 8 of them are great, 10 are okay and the rest are utter dogshit. The problem is that even (what I consider) great shows like Strange New Worlds, despite only having those 10 episodes per season, still has the odd naff episode.

Jfc, “at least it’s not as bad” is a horrendous excuse to endorse a government that has committed genocide.

How about you grow a spine and reject fascism properly instead of just rebounding from one authoritarian to another.

I’d sooner nail my bollocks to the mast of a sinking ship than give money to meta.
