You get used to it. Blinds are you friend, but driving is the worst. The sun is always in your eyes.

Ah yes, that darn hour of sunlight you lose.

Cries in 3hrs of sunlight

This is above my linguistic pay grade as I’m barely able to string together a coherent sentence when working, but, I think the moral here is that English is a crap language (at the very least very messy and lacks qualities found in other languages).

It’s a similar story for Swedish and German for example. Not exactly the same as Finnish, but the whole mashing words together for them to make better sense. I’m starting to think that English is the odd one out.

One example could be “kommunikationsdepartementssekretariatsanteckningar” (communication department secretary’s notes). But an English example would be where Swedish, German, I guess Finnish, would say “blackboard” instead of “black board” to remove the ambiguity while English mostly does the latter.

Yes. Fuck Russia and fuck Russians. Slava Ukraini!

I’ve not been too keen on copilot, then we got it at work so I tried it. For my previous position working in an ancient java project which knows no rhyme or reason, a codebase which belongs in hell’s fires, it was mostly useless.

I switched to a modern web developer position where we do a lot of data manipulation and massage it into common types to visualise in charts and tables, there it excels. A lot of what we do uses the same datasets and are then aggregated into one of a set of common types, so copilot often “understands” what I intend and gives great 5-10 line suggestions.

These last 3 weeks I’ve had the massive task of separating our data processing into separate files to finally add unit tests. Doing the refactoring was easy with IntelliJ, copilot quickly wrote tests as with 100% coverage which allowed me to find a good number of undiscovered bugs.

I left and joined Lemmy. After a couple of months of being flooded by politics in /c/memes, actually it’s everywhere, and very little new content I started going back. Now I doomscroll both. I usually head to reddit after a couple of posts which portray me as a fascist because I’m not a Marxist.

It’s also a question of how where this meme was made. I’m married in my mid-late 20’s and my wife is mid 20’s, we’ve got a child and will hopefully hear that the sellers of a house accepted our bid.

I didn’t grow up rich, she grow up in a middle class household with parents who saved an decent (as in literally decent, not decent as in a small business loan of a million dollars) sum which we will use against the down payment. We’re not rich or making astronomical sums either.

Is lemmy US-centric/big cities-centric?

Today I sat down at the computer around 8:30, had lunch around 10:55 - 12:00, then at 13:00 - 14:30 I went for a walk with my wife and 6 month old son to feed ducks which he absolutely loved, and I stopped working at 16:10. Adding all that together should equal to… I don’t care. The company who bought us and ruined everything had a 1.5 hrs townhall yesterday with 880 attendees, equating to some €30k lost in man power.

Yeah, but she’s rich so she definitely deserves it! /s

Tbf the only Android TV app I’ve used which is actually usable and has not-shit UX is SmartTube. Discovery Plus deserves a special place in hell.

I’m guessing the problem with revanced is the sheer number of projects calling themselves revanced, most of which are probably just malware.

Not only do they force you to use the App Store, developing an app for iOS is a nightmare. Without special tools you must have a mac and a $100/yr apple developer license.

After having to deal with that shit at my old place of work I’ve moved to never touch app development again.

Yes please. I thought I finally managed to get a proper block list, then this garbage pops up. I’m not sure I’m ready to block memes just yet, even though it’s mostly politics.

Is it “Emacs pinky” possibly? Emacs is an editor with hotkeys for just about everything and a lot are based on CTRL.

I’ve gotten used to using an Emacs layout and eventually my pinky started to ache too bad so I remapped caps lock to be control and everything is much more comfortable now.
