Do you want them to raise the age of retirement? Because they’ll make you work till you’re a thousand before they all quit en masse.

Lemmunity is a great portmanteau of lemmy + community.

Is it a positive to have pathogens that cause dengue/malaria in your blood? Yet we still say that someone tested positive for dengue if they have the virus.

Static analysis tools don’t test for all known issues either, no?

It’s all just semantics dude. :)

You could say “A static analysis tool is testing for the for the presence of defects” or “a medical test is testing if your body is free of diseases that it can detect” to change how you’re looking at either of the tests in the previous comment.

Did you just call “family” the “minor part of life”‽ Or am I misunderstanding you?

I don’t know why you are being an ass to me. I literally admitted that my lack of skill was the issue right at the beginning.

And then people wonder why noobs don’t want to bother with Linux.

It’s been 8+ years since I last used Ubuntu on my laptop. I faced massive issues with staying on the latest version of Firefox because apt had a much older version, and installing using the gui installer wouldn’t replace the apt version etc etc. Probably a PEBKAC issue…

But, I do want to know- is this not an issue any more? Will apt install the latest (or almost latest) version of Firefox? Can I update it from the inbuilt update tool in Firefox?

Okay, which instances should I block to get rid of the tankies?

How poor are the people here that you’re getting downvoted and even got a “shut up” for this comment? It’s really not a stretch to call a $60k expense a “once in a lifetime” expense.

How many people drive around in 80k vehicles that they “upgrade” every few years? How many people spend absolutely ridiculous amounts of money on designer brands, perfumes, watches, and shit? Sure, 60k is a lot of money for most people, but there’s a large number of people (at least in the western countries, in absolute numbers, not %) that could easily afford to spend 60k on something every 5-10 years if it fancies them, and an even larger number of people who could afford to spend 60k on something once in a lifetime.

Are you completely incapable of communicating without resorting to personal attacks?

Do you know how many scams happen because it’s ridiculously easy for anyone to edit the “knowledge” panel? I’d rather click an extra button and get the real number from the business’ own website than trust whatever is on Google.

“You’re not this obtuse are you?” – uncalled for, but, I guess you are who you are. So, you do you, buddy.

…and the website should have all that information, right?

But USA numba 1. /s

The default US-ism is frustrating indeed.

What did namecheap do? I’ve got a bunch of domains with them. 🤦‍♂️

I’d like to upset some niblings with “fr fr, ong”… Does anyone know if “fr” is pronounced as one word like in “from”, or if I’m supposed to just say “eff arr”? Same for “ong,” please.

50% for 20 million sounds insane to me. I’d be clamoring for 75% or more. I’m in Ontario and people making something like 250000 CAD already have a marginal rate above 50% IIRC. Before anyone calls me a lazy commie, my marginal rate is in the mid 40s already, and I’m happy to do my part.

I was scared of reflog too. Had to use it for the first time recently after I accidentally’d a branch that I hadn’t pushed to remote yet. I was so glad that I could recover it all in <5 commands.

Thesbians

Is that what we’re calling them now?

a monarch with - as was exposed a couple of years ago - real power

What is this in reference to?

but you don’t got bankrupt over a medical problem

That seems to be a US centric comment. People who came to Canada from other countries are fine even after moving back due to health reasons. And, even otherwise, I’m sure that I’d be happy to be alive and broke than dead and not-broke.

only have a few cities with good mass transit, high housing, wages are only high if you are in a wall street scumbag

Again, a US centric comment. People can move to Germany/UK/France etc. A lot of “third world countries” have decent enough infrastructure too. So people may choose to just move back to where they originally came from rather than be stuck here - which is the point of the article we’re commenting on.
