Believe it or not, but there are also people from outside the USA roaming the internet. They're usually way more out of touch when it comes to US American politics, and only know the very few biggest players. You can expect a foreigner (who's not entirely politics ignorant) to know who the president of the US is. That is basic, surface level knowledge. But even important people like the vice president, are far less relevant for people not living in the US.

You most likely also don't know about the intricacies of the political systems of other countries. nor their sub-surface people doing their job and contributing to the system. These people are relevant and sometimes important to anyone living there.

So, why the hell should they be expected to know who some employee/hired person for a US president was?

...that aside, mocking someone for something they don't know is just childish and counter productive. If you already put in the energy, why not use the energy to educate, instead of trying to make them feel bad?

makes me wonder why that is. priorities? uncleared questions in implementation strategy? or is the inner compiler structure of GCC just in a state that takes more time and effort to rewrite in order support something like modules? Like did GCC naturally have a greater implementation space distance to modules than MSVC and Clang had?

I generally wonder how much of that is a factor which decides which compiler gets which features first. If one compiler already does something very similar to feature X, it's just a matter of a few code line changes, or in extreme cases different default compiler flags. contrast that to a complete rewrite of one of the core algorithms and/or data structures.

German here.

hottest: 42°C in summer 2003. there have probably been warmer days by now, but I'm not aware of any.

coldest: -14°C in winter 2009/2010, while waiting for an absolute asshole of a bus driver to stop reading his news paper and finally open the door to let us in. I get that you want to enjoy your break in silence, but ffs. Leaving us waiting in such cold temperatures for around 10 minutes was just inhumane.

here is a nifty cross-instance community browser I've been using to get my way across the lemmy ecosystem.

whoa, I never expected them to be movable. I always thought they're just a (one-time lootable) integrated part of the landscape.

I never really scrolled through r/all, just the selection of subreddits I've explicitly opted into. And it paid off, my feed was overwhelmingly filled with content was interested in.

• Name
• First name

even worse

make an onlyfans account and try again. zonai dispensers won't be legally allowed to give you anything else... :P

German here. We have rather shitty weather in autumn, winter and parts of spring. I for one welcome the warmth and most heat waves. 25°C and up is when I start to function and... live. I prefer heat so much over cold.

I loathe the first day of autumn and the realization that it's gonna take more than a half year until we get some non-depressing weather again. I really hope that point is going to be late this year.

the last paragraph makes incredibly hard to take it seriously, tbh.

I've had quite some modded worlds and playthroughs, but the mod that always resonated with me the most was botania.

The way it sells itself as a plant magic mod, while being an automation tech mod at heart (but still requiring tinkering with redstone) is just lovely. It brought interesting ideas into the world, and the way you generate, manipulate and use these pools of mana (while also avoiding GUIs as much as possible) has always been so enchanting and fun to me. :D

It even contains a storage system (craftable once you visited the end), which is unlike any other centralized/universal storage system I've seen in other mods.

In my case, it's a mixture of life wiki, personal project wiki, videogame wiki, and journal (not daily, but more for a few significant days).

Like, there's this cluster with all the people that I know, pointing to their respective communities, and who participated in which annual social gathering (which have their own articles with pictures and videos). With one (usually rather empty) article per person, I can just link to them from other relevant places.

Then there are all my (software) projects and generally intellectually interesting stuff I thought about, which I wrote down over the years (which took me a few weeks to digitalize/find/sort once I got my hands on obsidian).

In terms of video games, it's either the knowledge/realizations I made or rough copies from some online wiki articles. Considering my internet provider is horrible and unreliable, having an offline source can be really nice sometimes.

In general, it's really useful to support my shitty memory. Having detailed descriptions of what I've made or what happened just makes it easier to re-experience certain moments.
