Nice, it’s not often that all three of these markets pass the same laws
I didn’t really use the internet much outside of IT class until I got the iPad mini at 12. I used to play games on our family PC before that and watched TV, but no internet. And even after that it was only a couple of sites (YouTube) that I knew how to use. I guess the reason I didn’t use it more heavily was because I had no real idea of what else there was and how deep it went (didn’t really Google very much, or know what to Google). I made some YT videos and assumed people would watch them. I learnt about Google images in IT class and was really impressed that there existed a Google, but for images. And somebody told me about Reddit at 14 and I remember being happy cause I had really been hoping that an everything-forum existed somewhere.
Eg. I use this for facebook

Or eg. for BandCamp I wrote a script that hides the play progress bar so that I can actually focus on the music instead of how many seconds of music there are left.
Sadly, OneNote. (I have a stylus)
Oh nice, never knew about thia. It looks like old versions of photoshop (v5 iirc)
Python is underappreciated
I really like qbittorrents built in search feature.
Speaking of which, user scripts. So useful at un-enshittifying the web. Or just personalizing it to scratch those little design itches that annoy you.
KDE. My brain is hard-wired for Windows, so KDE is intuitive and just gets out of the way.
Yes exactly, we need to be more unpleasant than the bigger fish in the water were being, and in so doing save humanity.
I bet that’s what the bigger fish were doing to it and why it crawled out in the first place.
Hmm I think I saw it in a C library
Edit: Might have been this one https://github.com/msteinert/bstring
Edit: actually seems it’s this one. Look at what happens to ystr_header_t https://github.com/Amaury/Ylib/blob/master/src/ystr.c
Another alternative I’ve seen is strings that are not null terminated but where the allocated memory actually begins at ptr[-1] and contains the length of the string. The benefit is that you still get a char array starting at ptr[0].
My relative likes to mention Nicaragua in the 1970s/80s, but I haven’t had the time to read up about it.
I guess. I had a question aboyt finding a job a few days back. Would that fit on there?
Hmm, fair point
We really need a generic ‘advice’ community for these sort of questions. I was looking for this sort of community too a few days back.
Definitely
