Golden retrievers: the goodest of boys.

True story, every time I see a golden retriever when driving (by myself), I say “WHAT A GOOD BOY” out loud habitually. Only goldens, and sometimes labs if they look extra behaved.

Maybe that’s cringe to some, but I adore these dogs.

A good boy indeed!

Wow. This pretty much constitutes verbal abuse. I’m sorry you had to hear all that. And hey, I’m happy for you!

I’m proud of you!! That’s huge. You should give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back. Verifiable progress and it’s only up from here, keep it up :)

aidan OP ,

Honestly I don’t know- I’ve been very lazy and lacking motivation for while so it’s kinda going down

tias ,

I would lack motivation too if I grew up with a mom like that. You need to eject her talk from your head. Every day you wake up a new person and whatever had happened earlier is nothing but memories. Begin again. You’re free, and life is full of opportunities.

aidan OP ,

That’s not why I don’t have motivation.

Is it now? Github says it’s Rust at 80%. And a layer of rust is a good protection again further rust 😃

github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

ProfezzorDarke ,

This is not how rust works, rust is blooming and eating ever deeper. Green Copper-Patina on the other hand is a protective layer.

OwenEverbinde ,
@OwenEverbinde@reddthat.com avatar

I don’t think anyone is going to create a coding language called Green Copper Patina.

ProfezzorDarke ,

Thinking about it that way, that would actually be a good name, but I bet it would be a favourite in the Linux crowd.

samae ,
@samae@lemmy.menf.in avatar

I had “weathering steel” in mind, butt you’re right, even in this case, rust still eats at it, just slower.

Rearsays ,

Honestly I am just going off of my preconceptions on this golang presumption. I tend to bet often that a rust or go based product is going to win out in most cases.

FriendOfFalcons ,

Lemmy is written in Rust. I currently don't know if there is fediverse server software written in Go tbh

Rearsays ,

It was a joke and a jab at Google. But how does rust get hacked. That’s unnerving

jayandp , to technology in I reverse-engineered all Timex Datalink watches and devices, the Notebook Adapter, and the CRT graphics in Ruby!

I’m expecting the answer is no, but would it be at all possible to transmit data via LCD? Probably no because of similar reasons as a light gun, right?

Synthead OP ,

I wish it could, but no, LCDs work fundamentally different than CRTs. See the reasoning here:

This is extremely interesting. So many products that I’ve never heard of and many of them were actually around for 6-12 years before being axed or coming up on death soon. A lot of these I had heard of and even used occasionally over the years and I didn’t realize were gone now.

It’s amazing how many cool projects they’ve funded the creation of, but never really advertised, and subsequently killed

Why the F would they kill Google Domains. Don’t they own a freaking cloud? How is having a registrar not essential when you own a cloud?

Damn, that page is so interesting. Thanks for the rabbit hole.

Holy shit, Google has ADHD.

DarkIrata ,
@DarkIrata@lemmy.gwa.app avatar

They actually sold Google Domains, still wild. No problem! :D

aidan , (edited )

Google Domains

Wait… This is a bit of a problem- all my domains are on Google Domains. Are there any other registrars with $12/yr domains that I can migrate to?

Edit: considering cloudflare

IDatedSuccubi ,

Any of them if you register for just one year lol

I used namecheap because they had .com for I think 11$ on sale, and I bought two domains for my stuff

But they sure ask a lot for cool names

aidan ,

I already have the domains I just want to transfer them away from squarespace

kogasa ,
@kogasa@programming.dev avatar

Your contract should be moved over to Cloudflare automatically and they have committed to honoring existing prices for now.

aidan ,

I thought it was sold to squarespace?

At this point I’m just waiting for them to axe YouTube out of the blue and with maybe 2 days warning. If Google announces a project nowadays I just assume they’ll kill it off at some point.

kogasa ,

Selling it to Cloudflare. Dunno why, presumably not profitable enough.

That is, indeed, the link that I posted 🙃

Wow, so many products I didn’t realize were dead. I remember when they were pushing Duo.

Some of them weren’t really killed, just renamed. Duo for example is now Meet

Some of these are fucking wild

Killed over 1 year ago, Cameos on Google allowed celebrities and other public figures to record video responses to the most common questions asked about them which would be shown to users in Google Search results. It was over 3 years old.

Imagine googling “does Bruno Mars is gay?” and Bruno Mars himself shows up to tell you if he is or doesn’t

lemmyshmemmy ,

“Hi! Bruno Mars here to finally answer your question. Does I am gay?”

ultimate_question ,

Damn I’ve never even heard of that but I wish I had, it seems like it’d be fun to fuck around and see how many recorded responses you can find lol

Viking_Hippie ,

Dammit, Cameo is dead?

I honestly loved the concept and would probably have been a customer if I could afford it.

Contrary to your description, it was mostly celebrities doing custom greetings for fans, sometimes as themselves, sometimes in character and usually bought for people as a surprise gift.

Amongst others, there was Jim Rash wishing a Community fan a happy birthday in character as Dean Pelton and dozens if not hundreds of short to medium length videos of Dave Mustaine from Megadeth recording super wholesome and sincere messages for specific fans.

Can you honestly tell me that doesn’t sound great?

Black_Gulaman ,

I thought it was a made up product I seen on a movie, I can’t remember what movie it was, though.

Viking_Hippie ,

Jurassic Park?

Black_Gulaman ,
@Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

i think it was about this d list personality or a washed up actor who needs to top up and do his cameos to increase his net worth, and his manager reminding him to do the cameos.

I dont even know if what i remember is existing or just a figment of my imagination. Lol. Just goes to show how fucked up our memories have become due to our online activties.

jonkenator ,

You’re talking about a non-Google product called Cameo.

Cameo = not-Google. Celebrities record videos per fan/follower request.

Google Cameo = Celebrities record short videos as responses to Google searches about themselves.

Similar, but different.

Viking_Hippie ,

Ah ok, that’s a relief! Thanks for clarifying 🙂

I think Cameo is different from “Cameos on Google.”

I remember getting a few of my friends to try G+ with me, then getting in and realizing we were the only ones there. Feels like Lemmy already has more people than that ghost town ever did.

TheGod ,

Facebook and Google+ was always about friends family and local before any random and starnger interaction becomes relevant.

Reddit and Lemmy is all about strangers. Oftentimes you dont even want people to know you or care about that. So userbase is way easier to create without feeling as if it was too small.

Facebook started locally and slowly created circles until the entire world found their friends and families and joined themselves

Lucidlethargy ,

You were expecting Facebook, but google plus was always a creature more resembling Reddit and Lemmy. It was an aggregator, and source of discussion.
