Is it really a thing? I don't mean defederation, do threadiverse instances use custom algorithms to provide content to users custom-tailored to them?

Idk about the elections, but as a Ukrainian I've seen the stark difference in about a half a year since he bought twitter.

He manually switched off visibility for NAFO. Like as if they became shadowbanned, invisible to the "for you" feed.

He made it so big Ukrainian accounts are mostly visible to Ukrainians only. This was enough not to make them leave the platform but silenced their voices to the outside world.

It's quite obvious we were just the testing grounds, USA elections were the real deal.

Good riddance.

Eh, not really. I mean unless episode sucks. But I'm mostly having issue with unfinished stories rather than episodes being bad.

Like I've watched multiple 20-40+ episode titles that about ran to sorta culmination point... so I'll have to wait like 3-5 more years to see how they end.

I like when a season actually has a finished story. Even if the next season would use the same characters.

I've had long break (I mean like 7+ yrs) from watching animes and recently started watching new stuff in my free time.

Honestly it's not bad, but the hell with all of them having such a slow pace. Literally none of them have a finished story, all in long ongoing phase with plans to run for ages.

What does it have to do with lisp?

[–] Mika@piefed.ca 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Sure it's not like it has no uses, but it's something languages have built-in as syntax sugar or operators, and you rarely need to built your own macro for anything.

The most interesting part about Lisp is homoiconicity:

(+ 1 1 2) is literally a list with symbol "+" and 3 numbers.

Which allows to build the most powerful macro possible, manipulating code (with data as a tree-like structures) and changing it into whatever else at compile time.

Now if only there was any good use for macros, this would be the best language 🙃

Where is this message? Who will use the force on who?

Defending your own country from drones that could've carried lots of explosives isn't an answer, it is a responsibility of the country. Bare minimum.

Besides, NATO is not just Poland. What is the response of the Alliance to russian drones invading Poland?

[–] Mika@piefed.ca 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

They are being pushed around though. 8 drones entered the Polish airspace at the same time. This is an act of aggression against NATO.

NATO is being tested. The response is nothingburger.

I hope Ukraine won't just sell technologies, cause there are talks about USA trying to get that for 100b. Not a small number, but I doubt USA would appraise their junk fairly, while these tech could be one of the biggest source of income in the long run.

Yeah, and I think it's not about history, it's about mortgage initial payment, which is some% of target property cost.

And the idea that it's bad thing is just stupid. Anyone read about previous housing bubble remembers how people took multiple mortgages because you could let your house for more than you pay for mortgage per month, and as crisis hit, they couldn't repay. It was very much enabled by zero mortgage initial payments.
