#didyouknow Unicode is a multi-word encoding, even in UTF-32. In fact, UTF-8 wraps the multi-word encoding known as UTF-32 into ANOTHER, but this time multi-byte, encoding. #unicode #utf8 #utf32
Reminder that you can set your browser's user-agent to null. It has... interesting effects on some pages. #null
So after Twitch, which itself is owned my Amazon, bought Curse after that has assimilated the Minecraft Forums and Feed The Beast, forcing everyone to use their Twitch Launcher, this happened: https://mastodon.social/media/uMjmGzdME1JM2BkPQtk
I think the wording is a bit unfortunate. I not only "can" merge accounts, I have NO OTHER CHOICE when logged in.
When this likely happens to CurseForge next, I guess Wearable Backpacks will not be updated there anymore.
I'd talk about how you can do garbage collection without a GC, but uh that wouldn't fit in a post. Or a few. Or an hour of posts. I don't have the writing skills to write a paper that long, for that matter, but it can be done. And it's about as fast/efficient as reference counting. #programming #gc
If your programming language has something called "traits" and they're not similar to Rust traits, they're not traits. #iloverust #rust #programming
re-#introductions Hi I'm Soni, an autistic nonbinary programmer and considering sex worker! I like Lua a lot and Rust second. Even tho I'm a programmer I prefer sysadmin-y things (setting up LXC containers, setting up computer networks, etc). I love mastodon and my bf <3
I sometimes forget I can pin posts...
If you can't support sex workers, just go away, I don't want you here.
I find it really annoying that unlisted posts don't show up in tags :/
sex work Afficher plus
does "unlisted" post to tags? @TheSupreme
I should really follow more ppl... but also I wouldn't be able to keep up with my feed...
Hmm... Wasn't I supposed to get a notification when someone likes something I said? It hasn't come through yet... @TheSupreme
my ISP or something seems to be blocking sprunge.us every now and then...
I realized I have no posts talking about the essence of #gender. I can say it's not a 1d nor a 2d spectrum, that's for sure. And you can be 100% male + 100% female (and from what I've heard, it sucks), so it's not a triangle either. I don't have any good analogy for the gender spectrum tho...
filesystems are cool. like, I'm playing with filesystems and it's pretty nice. first time writing my own FS ^-^ #filesystems #fs #programming
I wish I could set replies to default to unlisted, while normal posts default to public.
@TheSupreme do DMs work on you?
boost if you still use print statements as debug
