I have a watch that uses MM/DD for date, which pissed me off to no end. While looking for a way to change it to DD/MM, I found out that they actually used ISO-8601 and dropped the year. Now I don't know how to feel about it.
ISO 8601 has spec for how to drop the year. You write it like –MM-DD (two dashes to indicate omission). Of course nobody really uses it beside the absolute nerds (e.g. me).
Kishida is Fash and also extremely unpopular. I think he’s focusing on security issues because he knows he’s going to be ousted by someone else soon and the Yanks are offering him something behind the scenes to force through unpopular war laws before he goes (including an extremely unpopular consumption tax increase to fund military spending).
This dude at one point promised to increase wages and the first thing he did was consult with the Shosha (trading companies, socially and financially Japan’s equivalent of Wall St, remnants of the Zaibatsu) about how they could pay their people more. Just imagine Biden promising to increase wages and the first thing he does is go talk to Goldman Sachs about paying their bankers more.
Not a huge fan of the Israel situation but it does seem like they often stay out at the US’s request:
During the 1990–1991 Gulf War, Iraq carried out a missile campaign against Israel, in which it launched 42 modified Scud missiles (designated Al-Hussein) at Israeli cities with the strategic objective of provoking Israel into launching retaliatory attacks and potentially jeopardizing the multinational coalition formed by the United States against Iraq, which had full backing and extensive contributions from other Muslim-majority states; Israel did not respond to the Iraqi missile attacks due to American pressure, and Iraq failed to gather support for its occupation of Kuwait.
Right, because Gs are never pronounced with a “J” sound, and acronyms are never pronounced differently than their full terms. Sound logic there; well done. Never mind any of these:
NASA- National Aeronautics Space Uhdministration
NATO- North Ayy-tlantic Treaty Organization
LASER- Light Ayy-mplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
There’s no logic being applied. This is just sports mentality in tech. Like spaces vs. tabs, Emacs vs. vim, Python vs. R, or one of countless others.
But could you imagine if you created a digital standard used by billions everyday and then most people refused to pronounce the name you gave it? Same energy given off by the “anti pronoun” crowd.
That developer guy must have gotten very rich if we all 20 Lemmy Sync users bought his app.
I wonder what’s the percentage of Sync users vs the rest, seeing how passionate some are about Lemmy, it probably means they are inundating Lemmy developers with donations and just want us to do the same.
Report, block the user and/or the community. It’ll be growing pains until we figure out how to keep bad actors from ruining Lemmy. Until then it will happen here and there. DNS attacks and hacks have take down instances and been fixed and patched many times. If assholes CAN do something shitty, they will.
