I suspect young children who didn't wash their hands after some craft activity.

Zelenski 3 - 0 Trump in c/politicalmemes

Trump is such a loser.

Your "we" here is weird to me.

Most of us aren't party executives but most of us are voters, with friends and family who are voters.

What I say on lemmy is never read by the DNC, but is read by voters.

Claiming that I can't do anything about what voters do whilst I can do something about the Democratic leadership is so very very inaccurate.

I mean, they surely didn't engineer a blowjob facility in this car. What were they trying to communicate with this icon?

Is this green or blue? in c/lemmyshitpost

It's teal.

Republicans are evil but Democrats are only less evil in c/politicalmemes

Yup. There's a difference in nature, not just in degree.

I've addressed both popularity (waned - rust is the cool new difficult-to-learn principled language now) and bitrottenness (rock solid). I'm not sure what else you were meaning if it wasn't either of these.

Absolutely. It's just that less fuss is being made about it on hacker news because the cool kids say you'll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn rust when they used to say that you'll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn haskell.

With stack (consistent package version snapshot database based project starter and build tool) instead of cabal, you get the transferable and repeatable build benefits of docker with none of the hassle. Just stack new at the start and stack build or stack repl during development. Nothing gets bitrotten any more.

It makes the code icky and hard to debug, and you can simply return new immutable objects for every state change. in c/[email protected]

I used to put a polymorphic type where I wanted to twiddle and derive Traversable so I could do a deeply nested traverse, but sometimes it wouldn't work and I'd be doing fmap . fmap . fmap, but the type errors were awful. After I learned elm (which is easily and by far the loveliest of all programming languages ever), I started importing qualified a lot and naming things what they were instead of using abusing polymorphism to get at the data. It makes the error messages very very clear indeed.

Didn't realise that the title was a link. Thanks.

What are some aspects of UI/UX seen in modern websites that really grind your gears? in c/asklemmy

Pictures that don't change size when you pinch zoom the page.

If that's how Zelenskyy has to hold his dick, it's got to be massive.

More seriously, Zelenskyy stands up to Putin.
Why would be be scared of trump, who doesn't?

Trump is such a weak, insecure and petulant man.

Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

Does anyone else go looking on amazon because they used to have loads of stuff, but now there’s just a few things over and over and over and they’re not quite what you wanted. It’s so full of promoted content and you keep thinking that somewhere on one of the pages there might be something new, but no, it’s these same products again and again.

Remember, you are 10 times more awesome than you think you are, and 1000 times more awesome than some shitty hater made you feel.

Summary: You are awesome.

Reminder: Awesome.

What does the term "shitpost" actually mean? (self.asklemmy)
submitted 5 months ago by davidagain to c/asklemmy

It gets used online for things, and there are whole communities devoted to shitposting, but I can't find a clear set of rules for something to count as a shitpost. I remember querying whether a post on a shitposting community was witty enough to be a shitpost rather than just a shitty post, but of course not all the responses to that were terribly helpful!
