Nate Cox@programming.devto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Idaho bans ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ classroom signs, calling them ideologicalEnglish7·4 天前The mind-boggling thing about Idaho to me is that they have convinced a bunch of people from Oregon that Idaho is so great that a bunch of counties should secede and join Idaho.
I’m not making this up. It’s called the Greater Idaho Movement. They want to take over about 2/3 of Oregon.
I learned about this after moving to Oregon and was relieved to hear that at least my county had already voted against it.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Games@sh.itjust.works•PirateSoftware Leaves OffBrand Games as Stop Killing Games Reaches GoalEnglish4·4 天前Also, “dot” with a hard T is like super common in programming naming. It’s a pretty reasonable mistake to make.
I also use them. They’re a tool for emphasis, like ! and 😡.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Someone should make an anticapitalist Dexter. A serial killer who kills evil rich people.English1291·5 天前… as a TV show, right? Right?
Nate Cox@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focusEnglish3·5 天前I don’t think there is a good answer here. I didn’t really want my kids to have phones either but all you’re doing by denying them the primary social tool of their generation is ostracizing them from their peers.
Being a parent sometimes feels like a series of un-winnable choices.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focusEnglish11·5 天前Wat? It’s called a colloquialism. It’s a way to describe something I know you know without needing to spell it out.
You’re basically asserting that anything described using an analogy must inherit all the traits of anything else that analogy is used for, which is just silly. It’s a classic composition/division fallacy.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focusEnglish51·5 天前Yeah, my state just enacted a “bell-to-bell” ban on cell phones in schools for my kids. I absolutely support a ban on phones in class (so long as the school is providing necessary tech to educate with) but banning between class just ignores that phones are an important part of how kids socialize and ripping it away cold-turkey can’t be healthy.
Edit: also, I gave my kids phones primarily so they could contact me in an emergency, and I am very much not ok with the state telling me they can’t have the phone in their backpack.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Finally witnessed somebody use ChatGPT instead of socialisingEnglish2·6 天前Also the whole incredible adaptable camouflage thing.
Edit: I’d probably be an Orca (the asshole of the sea) or a peregrine falcon. One gets to glide through the ocean, the other soar through the air. Both sound rad.
Nate Cox@programming.devto News@lemmy.world•Republicans and Democrats in Secret Talks to Create a Third PartyEnglish31·7 天前I agree that it’s not much of an argument.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam itEnglish80·8 天前I loathe and despise using percentages like this.
500% sounds super scary, but is meaningless without providing the baseline. If there was only one instance before and now there’s 5 it isn’t a significant increase but 500% sure sounds scary.
Nate Cox@programming.devto News@lemmy.world•Republicans and Democrats in Secret Talks to Create a Third PartyEnglish62·8 天前This is a very republican method of argument.
Edit: now tell them to go “do your own research”
First time seeing it for me. Maybe we don’t need to be the post police.
Oh, wait! I know this one!!
No, it isn’t.
Nate Cox@programming.devto News@lemmy.world•YouTube star Mikayla Raines dies by suicide at 29, husband blames online abuseEnglish221·16 天前Sophistry. I didn’t accuse “anyone that acts a way I don’t like”, I offered one explanation as to why some people might be assholes to women online.
I don’t like that you’re like weirdly defensive about this, you don’t see me making any accusations.
Nate Cox@programming.devto News@lemmy.world•YouTube star Mikayla Raines dies by suicide at 29, husband blames online abuseEnglish218·16 天前Who’s body shaming? Low self esteem does indeed cause people to lash out at others, and men frequently value their self worth on their dick size.
Nate Cox@programming.devto News@lemmy.world•YouTube star Mikayla Raines dies by suicide at 29, husband blames online abuseEnglish1222·17 天前Why the hell would anyone feel any need to harass someone like this?
Micro-penises.
Nate Cox@programming.devto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?English51·19 天前I don’t have any mainstream media accounts and I’m pretty happy with that choice.
Although honestly I feel like Lemmy is feeling a lot like second Reddit recently and I’m pretty sad about this. See: dozens and dozens of low effort moth memes on feed now.
