I saw this when I was about 7 or 8. It was a great horror; really enjoyed it!

Wouldn’t if I was you.

It’s also a Metallica song

Fuck your duck! I raise you my 🐦

When you remember where the buttons are they’re fine to navigate. The average keyboard that meant people can type on without looking has less physical feedback (2 small bumps on f and h).

Brother are good but I got a Kyocera about 6yrs ago and have never had to change the toner. I’ve been through about 2 blocks of paper in that time. Prints great.

Plug & Play on Windows and Linux

Holy fucking shit balls. I contemplated seeing up an instance on a £5 VPS. Hmmmm, I think my scale is a bit off.

Oooooh this is relevant to my interests!! After 20yrs doing web dev I crashed out of two jobs in 6 months completely hating coding. Can’t even bring myself to look at code nowadays.

What did you go into after quitting web dev?

What did you used to program in?

Tracking clicks on links with JS is pretty normal. I always implemented that with Google analytics for my e-commerce sites.

It helps you track things like downloads of files, email links, exit links, etc.

Obsidian + private GitHub repo hosting

Hipster language? It’s a lot more popular than you suggest.

Java is a fucking awful language.

I wonder if the lemmy.ml users will burst in here too brigade this story into the ground.

Last time I suggested Nicaragua had a poor human rights record I got banned from the instance.

It’s a concept in Japanese martial arts that I read in a book by Takuan Soho.

Wiki:

Fudōshin (Japanese: 不動心) is a state of equanimity or imperturbability (literally and metaphorically, “immovable mind”,[1] “immovable heart”[2] or “unmoving heart”). It is a philosophical or mental dimension to Japanese martial arts which contributes to the effectiveness of the advanced practitioner.

I was training in Jujutsu and kenjutsu at the time and the concept clicked. I know it sounds very ‘weeb’ but it was an epiphany and quite profound for me at the time.

There’s a Shingon Buddhist deity that encapsulates the concept too and he holds a sword to cut through ignorance and delusion.

There’re some related concepts like Mushin that come together with marital arts.

…In the US.

Friendship and happy-ha-ha it’s strictly prohibited!

I ask my mate in Shenzhen what he thinks of China and Xi.

He hates Xi and so do most of his friends. His wife is even a member of the CCP.

If you don’t fully commit to the party line and pay increasing fees you don’t progress in the CCP. Sounds a lot like Scientology tbh and they see it as more of a tax. Because leaving is a huge no-no. She wishes she never joined.

I take his (Chinese) opinion of China much more highly than a bunch of angry Zoomer kids on Lemmy.ml posting puff-pieces by the CCP.

I’ve got a friend from Shenzhen who thinks Xi is the worst thing since Mao. If I said that to a lemmy.ml user I’d be banned from the instance.

Hell, I got suspended for 4 days (and trolled to fuck) when I suggested someone was a tankie (literally a communist who believes in using tanks to kill people).

Silly thing is I’m a fucking socialist! I believe in all the key tenets of socialism. But heaven forbid you criticise DPRK or China. They’ll chew you apart.

There’s plenty of fucking countries where from socialism has worked and there’s plenty where some level of socialism currently works.

I mentioned the Nordic Model and instead of them agreeing it was a good step they spent their time ‘educating’ me on how it’s not true socialism and it’s just as bad as the US.

Fucking boggles the mind. They genuinely seem to think Stalin was a saint and Kim is a benevolent, democratically elected leader. If anyone thinks otherwise it’s due to Western propaganda.

I know people living in China - they ain’t fucking happy!

It depends on the website hosting location. TOS, users location and relevant international copyright treaties.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all.

As a UK citizen I can’t claim my (US) first amendment right to call you a “cunt”.

It’s against the website TOS and I’m not American.

Putting a license at the bottom clears any ambiguity.

Funnily enough you’re only highlighting your own “Zoomer” naivety of law by making your “Boomer” comment.
