It showed up as hot for me with 0 comments! Lemmy's "hot" algorithm needs some work, I think. But.... I'm also not volunteering to fix it, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much

we're talking about a hypothetical one-off situation on a computer that isn't yours though; right? That happens from time to time, and an authentication process that requires you to persist your auth information on disk carries some extra risks. You need to remember to delete it when you're done.

Usually I mind when lemmy surfaces 2 year old posts as "hot", but this is pretty fascinating

console.log counts as “a debugger”, right?

Pretty cool. It’s great to see so many clients on the market.

One minor feature I wish every iOS client had is better password manager integration. Normally on login forms, the app can provide a hint to the OS of what domain you’re logging in to; then when you click the password box, the password manager can suggest to autocomplete that domain’s password. Currently every time I set up a new app, I have to type programming.dev twice. Once in the “which lemmy instance are you connecting to” box and once in LastPass’s search bar. It’s. A minor inconvenience, but I wonder if clients could pass along the lemmy URL to the password manager after I’ve typed it the first time.

I’m the opposite on this. I dislike swiping for navigation.

But one of the things I loved about Apollo was the level of customization it had for things like that. They made it really easy to set up whichever gestures work best for you; and I hope Mlem gets there some day too

maybe there was good intentions by whoever implemented it

If an executive saying “find ways to use ChatGPT so we can be on the cutting edge” and a developer saying “eh, I guess maybe…” counts as good intentions.

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is it would depend on what kind of business you're in and what kind of services the Christian customers asked for. You could say "I do websites for weddings, but not Christian weddings" for example.

As I understand it, this ruling still wouldn't necessarily protect broader discrimination like "I own an ice cream shop, but I won't sell ice cream to certain people"; whether the people you're refusing to sell to are Christian, gay, etc...

Tipping is ingrained in our culture so much that people will still feel obligated to. The best way to stop it is to take the tip line off the receipt entirely.

I don’t see a catch in the screenshot. Maybe this block just has a finally that cleans some things up before the exception is thrown?

That’s a big departure from the spare tire analogy. The spare tire analogy is based on the principle that affirmative action should be a stepping stone that gets us to the place we want to be and then stops being needed. Whether we’ve gotten to that point or not isn’t a topic I want to get too weighed down on, but I think the point is that the goal is a world where we don’t need affirmative action.

But a wheelchair is (in general) a tool that compensates for a permanent problem. People who need wheelchairs need them forever. Are you arguing that’s what affirmative action is? Systemic racism can never be undone and affirmative action has to live on in perpetuity?

Not trying to get too bogged down in the analogy itself, but it seems you’ve got a fundamentally different view of the issue than the person you’re replying to.
