Yeah I know what you mean. There is a certain kind of girl that gives off that vibe. I've often wondered if it's intentional or not.
But if you are that kind, you have to put in extra effort to make friends. My girlfriend has "resting bitch face" as she calls it. When she looks serious, she looks a bit angry. It also turns people off until she starts to talk to them.
Sweden has very warm weather right now, 20+ degrees with strong sun. That used to be happening in mid July for a country that is so far north. Now it's in May, and it was the same last year. Very early summers that goes away earlier too.
Global warming or whatever but weather has changed significantly during my lifetime, that's very obvious.
People get into relationships for sexual reasons, no?
And then they get tired of eachother. Ive realized that some people don't like the person they are with very much. It's just too much work to switch them out, and you lose other things you want (like children, the house, money etc) if you break up with them. And you have to find someone new, which is very difficult today for a lot of people.
I wonder if even most people are slightly unhappy with their partner and they don't feel emotionally connected.
So I don't think it's wrong to skip all that and focus on great friends. But friends often get into relationships and you lose out on the friendship when that happens.
People like Elon Musk as exactly like the kid in the sandbox who wanted the entire sandbox for himself, and who would fight for all sandboxes in the yard despite not being able to use them.
That kind of personality will take all until nothing is left.
I also dislike it because reddit used it... They managed to destroy a lot of good things.
Sounds really dramatic in a news item though. Click bait. :)
But yeah, I recently moved away from these cloud services and have a Nas at home now. Only encrypted backups in cloud. Because fuck Google.
Google is not showing the web anymore, it's showing it's own content now, stolen from the web.
People don't even leave their site now with Ai results, that Google controls and can modify how they want.
Not sure what to do about this. The general public will be completely lost in Google.
Microsoft teams also stopped working on Firefox... Guess they don't like the tracking prevention stuff. :)
They shouldn't trust him because he is a liar and a manipulator, and a charming, effective one, like all sociopaths.
He literally goes out there and talks to the crowd thinking they are idiots, because he can just make them think whatever he wants.
And they are. That's why I'm wondering why they don't learn. There must be something inside them that makes them want to be betrayed. Kind of like a relationship where you know you will get hurt but you do it anyway because you think that's what you deserve. Maybe? I really don't understand it.
I think it's the same echo chamber here, but it's smaller. People block instances they don't like, and are in favor of moderators removing controversial things, specially around communism and tankies.
I just like that it's not run by big tech. Just discussions, no companies or ads. I think most users are tech people.
Why do people still trust this guy?
This may surprise you, but in Lua!
I used to be a big user of neovim and heavily into plugins and messing with my configs, and lua is the language built into neovim for doing things like that.
One of my neovim plugins had annoying bugs due to evolving to support more and more features, and it was time for a rewrite to make it all clean again.
Lots of programming actually. Rewrote a thing from scratch and now it's so much better. Feels good. :)
I don't know. People in the west dont seem to understand they also listen to propaganda every single day. But they think it's just happening in Russia or China.
Yeah it's not like the western instances have any propaganda. Only Russians have that. :P
Future robots will make a joke before they shoot you in the head for resisting arrest. What's not to like?
This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I'm still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.
The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

Reddit and its bankers are guiding that they could price the social media platform's initial public offering (IPO) at the top of the indicated range or above, according to a source familiar with the matter. The San Francisco, California-based company is seeking a valuation of $6.5 billion in the IP...
Get your shorts ready, this will be very interesting to follow. Seems like the stock will appear tomorrow already?
I fully expect a nosedive in stock price but who knows. Maybe a pump and dump.
The UN report cites factors like loneliness among Americans under 40.
Who is actually surprised by this? I would be more surprised if young Americans felt it was a great place to live.
A recent subpoena request shows that film companies are trying to obtain information on a Redditor's piracy habits.
I didn't know reddit gave out the personal details of their users, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Elon Musk’s greatest legacy will be as a provider of inane law school exam hypotheticals.
Looking forward to trying this tomorrow. Anyone has tried it on their macs?
Reddit’s IPO is reportedly right around the corner.
User content, created for free by users, moderated for free by moderators, and now sold for 60 million dollars to Google.
The floating window stacks looks nice, and also the OSD's. :)
I know this probably won't feel like a compete desktop environment when it comes out, but it's looking promising. I think it will feel faster and smoother then Gnome and Plasma, but that's just a guess.
OpenAI is developing a web search product, The Information reported, which may be partly powered by Microsoft's Bing search engine.
This is the first thing I actually believe has a chance to hurt Google. Chat Gpt really succeeded, and it's Microsofts billions behind it. All at the same time as Google has lost its culture of innovation and has become a creepy sleezy company.
Bank tremors serve as a reminder: Just because a crisis hasn’t hit immediately doesn’t mean commercial real estate pain isn’t coming.
This is the real reason for companies wanting people back to the office.
All this talk about collaboration and team spirit is just the publicly given reason for wanting people back to the office.
The real reason is that now the owners of the buildings are losing money.
Cry me a river.
Today marks a significant moment in our journey, and I am thrilled to share some important news with you. After much thoughtful consideration, I have decid
Another CEO for mozilla. Good or bad news?
Mountain View-based Google is facing complaints from current and former workers who say their bosses are "inept," "boring" and "glassy-eyed."
Tesla reported Q4 earnings that missed estimates and issued a downbeat full-year production outlook.
I'm enjoying this. Also Musk went out and said that he wants barriers on trade or else the Chinese companies will dominate the market.
I thought Musk would be happy, because he truly wants to save the planet doesn't he? It shouldn't matter if he or someone else makes the best electric cars then?
Netflix reported earnings after the bell. Here are the results.
This is so strange to me. I guess people enjoy being ripped off and getting less and less value for their money.
So #Kagi is now partnering with #Brave, i.e. the company of Brendan Eich, who has been CEO at Mozilla for eleven days before he had to leave due to massive criticism of his homophobic views. Brave's most well-known product is a browser with its own cryptocurrency, co-designed by Eich. A feedback po...
Quite a controversial decision.... I love Kagi though, but I don't understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.
Maybe it was a nuclear war, devastating climate change, or a killer virus. But if something caused people to disappear, imagine what would happen afterward.
I liked this article. It was a weird feeling to read it because I felt like it would be quite nice if humans disappeared from the planet...
At the same time I'm happy to be here, enjoying all the tech we have and the tools we have, the food we eat.
I still think humans can live in harmony with nature but we don't have any good leaders to take civilization in that direction. So in the end, we will probably perish because we fought over power and money until there was nothing left.
Today I'm launching Flare, a video sharing site built on Nostr! 🎉 Like YouTube, Flare lets you upload, view, comment, and like videos from your favorite creators. BUT unlike YouTube, we can't strike, shadow-ban, or demonetize you just b
This could be promising!
A KDE Plasma theme that aims to replicate the look and feel of Windows 7.
This one looks pretty damn good if you are into the look Windows 7 had.

Sorry to link to YouTube for this, but it's just such a great example of actual humor from the decades where it was allowed to joke about it.
