Yeah like what the fuck? Every time I drive on a highway I encounter at least one potential life-ending moment, where if I hit the breaks one second too late I’ll die. This is absolutely a trillion times worse than the slim chance of getting a subway car lit on fire lol

Jewish Community of Lemmygrad @lemmygrad.ml•I wish all of you a very pleasant Yom Kippur
3·1 year agoKippur is my favorite day of the year because there are no cars unironically I love seeing kids on bikes in the streets
That is the first time I’ve seen South Africa listed separately from Africa

Palestine@lemmygrad.ml•One Issue on Which Israeli Extremists Are Mainstream [gift article expires in 30 days]
5·2 years agoGreat article.
Israeli liberals and Western diplomats tend to believe there are two paths forward: a binational, single state, or the two-state solution.
I fucking wish Israeli liberals would be in for a binational state. This is an extremely fringe opinion among Jews. The secular liberals generally prefer a two-state solution or just keeping the status quo (and just “managing it better”™️).
That was quite light in substance. Since it’s titled a “success story” I was hoping to find a deeper dive into challenges they faced - especially with Alpine, which isn’t that trivial to use at scale, not even mentioning with Junior developers.
This article seems like writing for the sake of writing, or rather padding the blog page on your personal site
Damn that would be so cool
Damn that’s cool, then maybe I should take a second look at Wordpress
Yeah actually writing Wordpress themes was easier than I thought. But I wrote them for the old editor, not Gutenberg – I opted for ClassicPress instead which was quite a banger in the effort-to-outcome equation

Python@programming.dev•Pyright can check exhaustiveness of match statements on unions
22·2 years agoI feel like Python is coming to its senses in the recent years, with releases focusing on typing constructs and the match statement. I think they’re on the path to be a great statically typed language, don’t you think?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?English
6·2 years agoHow did you manage to convince friends and (especially) family to actually use Matrix? Quite impressive!

Programming@programming.dev•Bringing the cancer of the MODERN WEB (TM) to one of the last bastions of the old web (aka the real web!). How Kafkaesque.
2·2 years agoYeah idk what went into her in this video. It only seems to be half a joke, which is terrible. The rest of her content is amazing so I’m quite confused
maotoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Community update, plus new rule: advertising is now bannedEnglish
212·2 years agoYour stance is great. I’m very glad you’re taking the liberty to remove posts, moderated spaces who are strict about what kinda content is allowed are just more pleasant. Hackernews, lobste.rs and me_irl come to mind. Unsure why the poster in the picture reacted so dramatically lol
Incredibly common, but I don’t really have an indication as to whether it’s an extreme amount or not, because I’ve lived here my entire life and haven’t been abroad too much, so I’ll try describing it their presence in public:
- Soldiers are one of the primary users of public transport, because they’re teens and they barely have shuttle buses
- Some administrative/technological roles in the military might not provide you with lodging, so it looks like a 9-5. Sometimes you’ll end your day and go fuck around in the city while in uniform; I did that frequently
- Infantry soldiers have a choice when going back home for the weekend: either wait hours for the privilege to deposit their weapon in a safe, or just take it with them home and carry it around
Why is this downvoted? This is likely the slickest post I’ve seen on the platform. Didn’t cause any physical reaction but it’s sweet non the less.


















Nah crazy surprise merges have nothing to do with keeping a proper distance. But maybe Canadians have better driving manners ;)
