Pretty shitty of your god to abandon you like that…

My heart goes out to shell programmers who have to support posix sh in c/linuxmemes

[–] ccunning 2 points 2 days ago

I honestly don’t know but there must some translation happening between .net objects and *nix.

And .net “core” started supporting Linux like a decade ago. I’m guessing they’re related ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m a former (long long ago) Linux admin and a current heavy (but not really deep) powershell user.

The .net-ification of *nix just seems bonkers to me.

Does it really work that well?

He died trying to suck his own penis, RIP. in c/lemmyshitpost

Question: How can a mouth on the head of a penis suck itself?

Did he recently become locked in the back of his stretch limo?

Even the ones with hoops instead of hooks can be removed (in my experience, anyway). Super awkward otherwise.

Pirates of Lemmy, how many torrents are in your queue that are just stuck? in c/asklemmy

[–] ccunning 4 points 4 days ago

Five as well. A bunch recently cleared out for no explicable reasons (other than seeders mysteriously showed up).

I recently turned to piracy after being a dedicated ‘churner’ keeping only on service a month. So I have a lot of catching up to do. Five miscellaneous things hanging out in the queue is no problem.

Zelenskyy offers Ukraine’s help to fight California wildfires after Trump Jr post in c/world

[–] ccunning 107 points 4 days ago (2 children)

His announcement followed a controversial social media post by Donald Trump Jr., blaming donations to Ukraine for LA's fire challenges.

How ‘bout we tax the shit out of the billionaire class and pay for both.

Can’t tell if it’s the case in this photo, but mine hangs over my work area so handle down was definitely the safer option…

…also more natural to grab

9/11 guilty pleas delayed after US government objects in c/world

When I lived in Qatar I was told it was against (some interpretations of) the Muslim faith to dye your hair it’s natural color because it was a sign of vanity so when men went grey they would typically dye their beards and sometimes hair orange.

I never verified this and I’m not an expert but it’s what I was told so take this with a ChatGPT size grain of salt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What is this multi tool? (lemmy.world)

It’s approximately 1” x 1.5” (2cm x 3cm). It came with…:

Tap for spoiler

a bag of macadamia nuts still in their shell. The shells were pre-cracked and the tapered point is used to slip in the crack and twisted to open the the shell the rest of the way

…but I don’t believe it was purpose built for that use and leaves the little hook with the bent tab unexplained and unused.

The default web interface is awful, at least on mobile.

Hoping to find something decent at searching sorting and filtering.

What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes? (self.nostupidquestions)

submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by ccunning to c/nostupidquestions

I’m looking for serious answers to understand the mentality. Please avoid the snark. I know it’s low hanging and tempting but I’m pretty sure most, if not all, of use here on Lemmy “get it”.

I just can’t get out of my head how absurd it is that we, in the U.S. anyway, put so much of the tax burden on working class folks instead of those most benefiting from our economic system.

It seems to me the standard deduction should be at least the median personal income (~$40k) if not the mean(~$60k) with progressive tax brackets adjusted to cover costs thereafter and possibly a supplemental wealth tax.

But I’m not an economist so trying to understand why I’m wildly wrong and this would be a terrible idea either from an economic perspective or from a political perspective.

Is it possible in 2024 to turn off Apple Messages send and receive sounds without muting the whole phone? (self.ios_community)

I’ve been wishing for this for years, but it seems I’m to only one that finds them annoying. Hoping maybe someone knows a setting somewhere I’ve missed or possibly something introduced in iOS 18.

To be clear, I’m not talking about Messages notifications you get notifying you of a message while you’re not in the app; I’m talking about the send/receive sounds the phone plays while you’re in the Messages app texting with someone.

TYIA! 🙏
