I quite listening to a podcast that went hard into streaming crypto coin as a way to boost income. I think I like the idea in principle. But there is something that smells funny to me about cryptocurrency. And I don’t think it actually works that well in principle. Funding open source and open access content is tough.

echindodto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Since the 3rd of march 25 Spotify blocked the apk mod version. What are the alternative music player you would recommend?English3·2 months agoI’m still using Airsonic-Advanced. I know there are alternatives like gonic and navidrome. But, eh. I like buy music from Bandcamp or directly from the artist, and then upload it to airsonic. Works nice.
Do you know the etymology of these words? My understanding is that they aren’t exactly “Yes” but more “As you say” or something similar. But I am no arabicist.
Arabic doesn’t have a word for “yes”. I don’t think most semitic languages do either [Classical Hebrew does not, but Modern Hebrew does, however, the word they use in modern Hebrew is the word for “Thusly”, that is now a particle]. In fact you can see that proto-indo European didn’t have a word for yes: Greek is ναι, but the romance languages are si (I am pretty sure French oui is actually derived from the same root as Spanish and Italian. Could be wrong) and if my memories is correct (and it may not be) classical Latin didn’t have a word for yes. And the Germanic words yes/ja have a similar origin. I can’t speak to the other IE languages unfortunately.
I know there are also language families that don’t have a single word for no, but use a negation mood on the verb. I unfortunately can’t give you an example of this. But it should be fun to look up!
echindodto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something non-standard that you take with you when you travel?2·2 months agoI use a foldable cone, and a dual voltage kettle. I’m thinking of adding a vial of electrolytes and minerals to add to distilled water. Many places I travel have absolutely terrible water, and water makes a big difference!
echindodto The Onion@midwest.social•Democrats Announce Bold Plan to Resist Trump Policies by Playing Katy Perry’s “Roar” Really LoudEnglish2·2 months agoIt’s no longer parody. It’s prophecy
I don’t know any hieroglyphs, but I do know cuneiform. Would rather read cuneiform than regex!
This is the one I use! Might have to look at regexer though
I haven’t heard anything bad about them, and there customer support is fantastic. But I haven’t had any problems with mine.
I wouldn’t complain about using VSCode if the team i was on primarily used it (a la Typescript). But yeah, I’m glad I am more independent… And not doing web dev.
I honestly was persuaded to start using neovim (again) because of theprimegean. I don’t like his content, but I was so tired of VS Code being so fucking slow and not part of the terminal. I used vim a lot, but with too many plugins it slows to a crawl. So when theprimegean talked about neovim, I was like great, yeah, I should try that. And then a few videos later I blocked his chanel because, yeah, it’s not great.
echindodto Technology@beehaw.org•OpenAI reportedly takes aim at Chrome with new browser18·5 months agoDo you think chrome is too useful? Do you think Google is not creepy enough? Well I’ve got a new browser for you! Introducing OpenAI clippy browser! OpenAI can now legally steal all your data. With chat bots crammed in every corner. Help us boil the ocean!
echindodto science@lemmy.world•Social media users probably won’t read beyond this headline, researchers sayEnglish5·5 months agoYeah, because I know this, and the research it self doesn’t sound interesting to me.
echindodto Programming•Which protocol or open standard do you like or wish was more popular?13·8 months agoOh. Good one. Markdown everywhere. Slack always pissed me off for it’s sub par markdown support.
echindodto Programming•DARPA suggests turning old C code automatically into Rust – using AI, of course31·9 months agoUsing an LLM to come up with function names for transpiled code would be a good idea, but other than that. Nope.
echindodto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your favorite book that you wouldnt say is a masterpiece?12·9 months agoI was thinking about this. JKR is really a terrible writer. All of the later ret-conning to fix the plot holes is worse than just letting the plot holes lie. (like breaking all the time turners so they don’t get used again).
But it is amazing how captivating these books are inspite of the fact of how poor they are. It’s an imaginative world with exceptionally clear flaws, but one I want to revisit regularly.
But fuck JKR and her shitty politics.
Edit: maybe it’s not technically ret-conning. But the whole two book gap or whatever is just so lazy.
Is RDJ really a good casting for Doom? I like RDJ, but, this doesn’t seem like a good role for imhis usual schtick. But I am willing to admit I am wrong.
Lonely Starbucks lovers for the win.
echindodto Programming•Trying to scrape a wedding gallery website for wedding images, what software would you suggest?3·10 months agoI’d probably use selenium. But that depends.
Uh… Have you tried Fish? Or even a modern ZSH? Like oh my ZSH?
I guess I don’t want notepad tools. But I can set my key bindings in ZSH to vi bindings and do things like:
$ cat <<EOF | sparql --data=some.ttl --query=/dev/stdin SELECT ?s ?p ?o WHERE { ?s ?p ?o . } LIMIT 10 EOF
And that gives me a real basic text editor. Granted with syntax highlighting on, it thinks I’m trying to do ZSH scripts. But if you needed a ZSH script it would be perfect.
Second, tab works great for auto complete, it even suggests stuff (as long as you have that enabled, or the command supports it. Some clis do not have support for auto complete, but the shell does)
Modern shells are pretty fucking awesome.
