So the innovation that was patented is literally “cut it partway through”.

Patents are inherently stupid and only serve to stifle progress. Change my mind or otherwise just downvote away, works as well.

People here be discussing the wrong thing, or am I the only one thinking that patenting a roll of paper is incredibly stupid?

It’s a damn roll of paper. How much of a genius do you have to be to come up with that? People have been doing it for millennia, the only difference is that it used to be so expensive that no one would think of whipping their butts with it.

This is what they want you to believe…

Not the companies. But some anonymous whistleblower? Sure

Can you at least wait for me to die before taking me to hell, Satan?

Not sure if I’m just missing a reference here, but if you choose the pizza you can have both.

I’m so impressed that this is a thing

As a mildly introverted person, this sounds like hell. I’d pay a tax to be left alone

Because they didn’t come out saying they won’t enable ads. They just quietly renamed the toggle to say something else, and that is shady AF. Why are you trying to spin it positively?

Which is basically what trump argues he is.

It is. It also happens to be undefined, and checking that for truth is how I was bitten.

My dude, you need to understand that all that anger and resentment, it is not you. It’s the years of JavaScript poisoning your mind.

In any case, that goes to my point. I would have to be saved by my IDE, when any sane language will blow up in your face as soon as you try to run it.

I spent way too long today figuring out why my app was doing something that it’s NOT supposed to do on weekends.

I read Luxon’s docs (pretty cool lib tbh) again and again, and tried everything I could think of to get isWeekend to return a sane result.

Turns out I was pulling a somewhat older version of Luxon, where isWeekend didn’t exist. In any sane language, I expect I’d get a huge warning about a property that doesn’t exist, but alas…

Typescript helps me keep my sanity, but juuuuust barely.

Techtonica is my new love. It’s like I’m still in my basement, but eerie, bioluminescent plants claimed everything.

Early in development, but really good IMO, even the story they have so far is really great.

I’m convinced Trump’s mind doesn’t work like that, and that his memories are heavily slanted by how he perceived his role in the event. Others’ roles or the factual details are arranged automatically by his brain to fill this role he sees himself playing.

No one surely ever challenged him on his constant nonsense, so he’s had a lifetime of reinforcement over this behaviour.

As he’s aging however the detachment between his perception and recollection of an event is growing much larger, and the result is these wild made-up tales…

Not if you’re the one who caused the funeral.

Ehehehehhehehhe!!! Thanks for the entertainment!

By now it’s clear that it’s your reading comprehension that is lacking, you aren’t fully understanding the responses you’re getting. Perhaps you’re not a native speaker…

You’re a special kind of person, aren’t you?

This far down, and you keep demanding that someone answers you about why “they” are liberals, behaving as if the universe owes you answers.

Sympathetic with your deluded but apparently honest ignorance, @RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world did their best by sharing an anecdote that demonstrates that, while possible that “they” are liberals because the issues directly impacting “them”, that may not necessarily be the case.

Alas, it was then that we came to find that you just wanted to hear yourself talk while petulantly dismissing others’ thoughts.

The story developed unexpectedly however, as this behaviour was accurately and immediately pointed out, and this led to a series of increasingly irate comments, likely caused by a mounting sense of frustration stemming from the inability to rebuff such accurate criticism. We’re sure to see an escalation from the passive aggression initially being employed into more open and direct insults, as a welling sense of dread about being outwitted threatens to set in.

Stay tuned!

Why don’t people spin the tag on these guys? Prolife is horribly incorrect, what they are defending is more regulations and bigger government snooping into personal matters.

I’m in the same boat.

Boing sold their soul for profit and it’s biting them hard, as it should, but this sounds more like an airline maintenance issue rather than some sort of design or manufacturing defect, no?
