What does supporting Vulkan entail?

Yeah. Imagine if the person who gets picked was a bigoted piece of shit (like.... you know). Why on earth would someone want to be forced to support that just so that they can run for their primary in attempt to be slightly less shitty? It seems like this is just something that dooms the republican party to continue being horrible.

Especially since it is currently extremely likely Trump will be the GOP candidate, so this basically means most other possible candidates have to support Trump, which is obviously bad.

What's ironic is that despite this, the alt right looooves to appeal to laws, even blatantly unjust ones. They love to say you should accept all laws regardless of if you agree with them... except the ones they disagree with, of course.

Light mode is the best and I think a significant number of people who oppose it are students or hobbyists who only program outside of typical work hours. During work hours, I want bright light to keep me alert. And I work in a well lit office and home mostly during the time of day when there's lots of sunlight. Dark mode just doesn't make sense for professionals.

Plus, if even a single documentation site or Google search uses a light theme (and many do, especially by default), you risk blinding yourself with the sudden flash to light. By comparison, if I'm using light mode and something else is in dark mode, it doesn't hurt me at all.

Right? It's already bad enough how it feels like the sole purpose of every blog is to push affiliate links. Every product review I have to wonder if the author for paid for it. Every YouTube video feels like the creator will push whatever scam pays them money.

Actually, on the YouTube video note, Legal Eagle has a great video about how many YouTubers pushed this scam claiming you could "buy an official lord/lady title by purchasing a 1 square foot plot of land in Scotland". Basically a rehash of those star registries from the early 2000s. So many massive YouTube channels promoted them with blatantly false claims. And frankly every time I see a VPN ad (because it feels like pretty much every YouTube channel is sponsored by one or another), I just know they're going to make misleading claims.

The audio quality is just unbelievably bad. Plus no lip reading to augment things. And if it's a call center (which feels like 90% of my phone usage because I would never call friends or family by my own choice), good odds they'll have a thick accent to make things harder.

I'm hearing impaired and I think a lot of my own phone anxiety comes from my hearing. Of course, it's hard to tell because I don't have anything to compare it to. But what really stresses me out is the fear of not being able to understand the person on the other end. And it's not an irrational fear, cause it happens so much! It's extremely embarrassing having to constantly ask for repetition, having to admit you can't understand them, or giving a response that makes no sense because I misheard them.

I wish every company would join the 21st century and use email or text. My freaking doctor and dentist have both figured it out, so it's not a privacy issue stopping Big Chuck's T-Shirt Emporium from using email.

Finally something in this thread that I've seen (and is actually a bad movie). The "science" of this movie is hilariously inaccurate and the movie is kinda over the top. But it's a lot of fun!

Fortunately for everyone, they had to define "woke" during a court case.

DeSantis' general counsel, Ryan Newman, responded that the term means "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."

So there we have it. Recognizing the flaws in the justice system is woke.

Yeah, I had a total of 3 initially and now I'm just down to one, barring an outage of my main instance.

Same. I'm not gonna make the internet worse to use because I've now left the product. As a user, it's frustrating when I need help with some niche issue and find the perfect result on google, only for it to be deleted or otherwise useless. Deleting such history isn't gonna make people want to use Lemmy or the likes. Such historical information doesn't and will not exist on Lemmy. Deleting it doesn't push people to an alternative. It just means it's gone.

I'm not gonna cut off the collective internet's nose to spite Reddit's face.

Oh god, the sausage one... I was just a little curious. There's videos making an air sausage and a water sausage (which go about as you'd expect).

I can second this. I wrote a syntax highlighter for a DSL in Sublime ages ago and all I remember is that it was easy.

That said, you can definitely do this in VS Code, too (just I haven't personally tried it). IMO VS Code is the better editor.
