Human beings are not proscriptive. A “gay” “man” is a human being with biological characteristics typical of human males, who acts in a manner society describes as masculine, and who feels attraction towards similar sexes and genders of people.

If that person is forced into sex with a person they don’t feel desire for, I dunno, that’s some kind of thought-experiment rape. If a “gay” “man” has sex with a “lesbian” “woman” and it’s consensual for both of them then they are both, by a descriptive measure of what acts have occurred, bisexual people, who have just engaged in heterosexual coitus.

That’s assuming that both of them have engaged in homosexual acts before of course. By the nature of this thought experiment, they both could be people who self-describe as such without actually having done it.

They are free to consider themselves whatever they want, because self-descriptions of people are always based more on aspirations and desires than facts. Lots of billionaires consider themselves good humanitarians, and lots of straight people have suppressed homosexual desires. People are complex, contradictory, and our language falls behind in accurately describing reality.

Ooh, I’d been looking at wasmer but wasmtime looks easier and more appropriate. Thanks for the suggestion!

Also wow, a D programmer in the wild! I used to really like that language before I got into Rust (my beloved).

Literally have a dozen other tabs open about how to embed a WASM engine into my Rust game. At least I’m not (currently, at this time, right now) writing my own language or trying to embed a prolog engine.

Further, “Whether another user actually downloaded the content that Meta made available” through torrenting “is irrelevant,” the authors alleged. “Meta ‘reproduced’ the works as soon as it made them available to other peers.”

A “peer” in bittorrent is someone else who is downloading the same file as you. This is opposed to a “seeder” which is also a peer but is only sending data, no longer receiving.

You don’t have to finish the file to share it though, that’s a major part of bittorrent. Each peer shares parts of the files that they’ve partially downloaded already. So Meta didn’t need to finish and share the whole file to have technically shared some parts of copyrighted works. Unless they just had uploading completely disabled, but they still “reproduced” those works by vectorizing them into an LLM. If Gemini can reproduce a copyrighted work “from memory” then that still counts.

Now, to be clear, fuck Meta but also fuck this argument. By the same logic, almost any computer on the internet is guilty of copyright infringement. Proxy servers, VPNs, basically any compute that routed those packets temporarily had (or still has for caches, logs, etc) copies of that protected data.

I don’t think copyrights and open global networks are compatible concepts in the long run. I wonder which the ruling class will destroy first? (Spoilers, how “open” is the internet anymore?)

Yeah, I just took a phone screenshot off Instagram, which is where he hosts the comic. So it picked up some UI crud. I hate IG, no way to download photos to your phone, among many other flaws.

Without pointless censorship: (did you know you can fucking cuss all goddamn day on Lemmy?)

How i feel about self-censorship to appease corporate social media:

Physically Based Rendering (the freely available book) won its authors a special Academy award in 2014. That book is still the teaching standard for ray tracing so far as I know. In the intro, they discuss Pixar adding ray tracing (based on pbrt) to their RenderMan software in the early 2000s.

A Bugs Life and TS2 could have benefit from some of that, but I’d guess Monsters Inc was the first full outing for it, and certainly by Nemo they must have been doing mostly ray tracing.

I used to work in a computer lab, open plan, where we all had CRTs. I sat across from the main DB admin, who had TWO monitors for all the work he was doing (wild stuff to have dual CRTs back in those days.) Due to the layout, my monitor sat in-between his, facing the opposite way of course. I loved degaussing my monitor because:

1. It would degauss both of his and
2. The EM fields were so strong between them that my monitor’s image would flip entirely upside down before snapping back into frame while making just the craziest electronic noises, colors dancing all over the screen. Gorgeous stuff! I wonder if anyone has tried to recreate a degaussing effect using shaders to simulate the process?

import birthday;

let myAge1 = 4;
let sisterAge1 = 2;
let myAge2 = 44;

let sisterAge2 = birthday.deriveAge(myAge1, sisterAge1, myAge2);

print(sisterAge2);

Any bugs should be reported upstream. Please open a tracking issue to sync changes with eventual upstream fixes.

Casualy sliding this out of my pocket like, no way bro, i always keep that thang on me!

Props for #2 being a #2, but of these I usually go for 6. My personal favorite though is Pentel twist erase.

Though all the kuru toga enthusiasts here have convinced me to give them a try.

I also buy 5s in bulk, those shitty bic pencils are the “little brother” option when my D&D players forget their own writing instruments.

Folks seem awfully confident in their ability to encode other things with only a single letter, but who said you get spaces or other seperators?

I’ll take A, so I can express how i feel everyday now:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

YOU’LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP ME HEARTY! THE MATES AND I ARE RAIDING 7\11 AT DAWN FOR CANDY AND SODA! ARRRRRRRRRRRR(oooooooooo)!

Oh don’t worry, I get myself involved in plenty. I prefer to make problems at the architectural or “leadership” level though.

To paraphrase a common joke, it’s called the Fediverse because it’s full of feds.

This was probably a rare Babylonbee hit and OP was rightfully ashamed of the source.

Wildly, in C# you can do either and it has different results. I believe a bare throw doesn’t append to the stack trace, it keeps the original trace intact, while throw e updates the stack trace (stored on the exception object) with the catch and rethrow.

In C#, you can only throw objects whose class derives from Exception.
