I love choice. I hate choosing.

Mint doesn't use KDE out of the box. They have an own DE called Cinnamon.

Ah, I thought there would be a male bird involved still, but I guess that example just explains ovulation. Still quite optimistic that everyone shares the same understanding here, though...

Yeah, I virtually only use --force for moving tags around (which one could definitely argue isn't really a thing you should be doing regularly either)...

Yeah, good bit of trolling. 😅 That's exactly why I mention it, because folks often cannot conceptualize giving up a particular food and just assume you have to take on every possible conflict to be able to still eat it as often as morally possible.

It was pretty cool but my metabolism is way too fast to afford it.

I mean, a vegan diet shouldn't need to be expensive, as legumes are the cheapest form of protein.

Of course, if you were eating lots of veggies along with the vegan diet, that can be pricy.And there's lots of replicas of non-vegan foods, which are highly marketed and expensive as balls.

But yeah, beans, lentils, peas, peanuts etc. are super cheap and keep you satiated for a few hours.

Yeah, we always try to automate as much as possible with generic language build tooling and scripts, so that ideally the call in the runner is just a single command, which can also be triggered locally.

Unfortunately, if you want to be able to re-run intermediate steps, then you do need to inform the runner of what you're doing and deal with the whole complexity of up-/downloading intermediate results.

This post made me realize, I've only ever heard "the birds and the bees" referenced, but never actually how it's applied during sex ed.

But uh, turns out this does not make any sense in that context either. It's just two separate examples to explain sexuality, so bees pollinating flowers and birds laying eggs. They're just used as examples, because they're visible in nature and somewhat resemble the mechanics of sex.

My thinking was that bees are the ones that pollinate, so male.

But they certainly don't pollinate birds, so I don't know where that was going either. 🫠

In the shops where I can get it, they have it in a separate aisle for vegan and gluten-free foods.

Could also be nearby to tofu, so potentially in the Asian food section (even though TVP isn't an Asian invention).

basic bastard daily diet staples

Well, legumes. 😅

Some of my classics:

Cook noodles and red lentils in one pot. Strain the water. Add a can of tomatoes. Boom, pseudo-bolognese.
White beans are great in salads and such. You can get them pre-cooked in a jar. Just wash the glibber off, add a bit of salt, pop them into the microwave if you're feeling fancy, and then throw them on top of your salad.
If you can find TVP in the shops, that's also really versatile and hardly processed. Particularly bigger chunks of it are nice, because they're chewy and you can sear them like meat for that extra flavor.

Yeah, harm reduction with a side of "it's often easier to go for the systematic change".

For example, one of the possible moral stances is that it's fine to "employ" animals for their animal products, so long as the relationship is beneficial for both sides and we take utmost care that the animal actually wants to be in that relationship.

But even people with that moral stance generally end up not eating animal products after all, because well, as you say, it is practically impossible to know what happens in the supply chain. They'd have to keep backyard chickens or such to actually know the supply chain, which is a lot of effort for eggs.

Pizza is a tomato pie.

Ephera @lemmy.ml 22h ago

Where I live, we have a food that's basically flatbread with toppings. One of the popular toppings is apple slices and raisins, which looks just like an apple pie. And we do like to joke that pizza is simply the tomato variant of it, too. 🙃

Developers remain willing but reluctant to use AI: The 2025 Developer Survey results are here

I have caught myself genuinely thinking that management needs to unearth more budget, if they so desperately want us to use these AI tools, so that we can onboard another person to compensate for the productivity hit.

Unfortunately, they believe the opposite to be true, that we just need to use AI tools and then our productivity will be through the roof...

I have not looked into these myself yet, but Apertus is supposed to be fully open: https://programming.dev/post/36791696

And I recently heard of StarCoder, which was also said to be like that and which is optimized for coding assistance: https://github.com/bigcode-project/starcoder

I also always find that outsourcing is risky, whether it's to other devs or to some AI, because it requires that you understand the problem in whole upfront. In 99% of cases, when I'm implementing something myself, I will run into some edge case I had not considered before and where an important decision has to be made. And well, a junior or LLM is unlikely to see all these edge cases and to make larger decisions, that might affect the whole codebase.

I can try to spend more time upfront to come up with all these corner cases without starting on the implementation, but that quickly stops being economic, because it takes me more time than when I can look at the code.

Hab keine gute Idee für einen eigenen Pfosten, daher teile ich das mal hier:

~~Heute~~ Gestern morgen war ich in diesem Draußen™ und habe gehört, wie oben in einem Baum so (Amsel?)Küken um Futter geeifert haben.Dachte mir dann auch nur, geiler Zeitpunkt um Küken in die Welt zu setzen, nachdem es gestern morgen noch stramme -12°C hatte.

Jetzt hat gerade jemand direkt gegenüber von dem Baum so ein Batteriegeschütz abgefeuert. Und nachdem's hier schon ein paar Tage wie Kriegsgebiet klingt und die Küken wahrscheinlich auch erst ein paar Tage auf dem Buckel haben, werden die sich wahrscheinlich zeitlebens dann fragen, was zur Hölle das eigentlich für helle Lichter und Geräusche und Rauchschwaden waren.
