What is a TV show that was one of your favourites, but just went on for far too long? in c/[email protected]

[–] TheV2 3 points 5 days ago

Many anime, but Naruto (Shippuden) is my personal icing on the cake. The manga itself was already stretched out and the awful amount of fillers in the anime, especially towards the end, gave me a lot of headache.

It's absolutely surreal that this actually happened. I've done so many reality checks. Please don't let it be just a dream.

To me in most cases it's the opposite. I don't watch video tutorials to solve a specific problem (sorry, Roal Van de Paar!), but to get into something. And therefore I prefer to see the problem solving in between and the workflow for that activity. If it really tends to waste my time, I just skip forward.

I'm glad I saw this post and codeberg's statement before the spam notifications.

I will do everything I can do to stop this.

I can see that this can be interpreted as a sabotage. If they are dressed like a clown. With a gun and a pack of sandwiches.

The 9th Movie (2024) (youtu.be)

Joel gathers his friends at a remote cabin to celebrate the completion of his latest feature film in his 12 features project.

This movie is part of Joel Haver's challenge to create 12 feature films in 12 months. I just watched it now and I think it's the most relatable, yet insane and perhaps one of my favorite movies of all time. So even if I might not feel the same way tomorrow, I have the urge to share it now.

Non americans of lemmy, would you support a ban on american social media on your country? in c/[email protected]

[–] TheV2 2 points 2 months ago

I don't consider that promotion. Think from the perspective of the people who happily use US big corpo social media. When you're forced to consume B, because A is banned, you're likely not giving B a fair chance, even if it would have otherwise convinced you.

(Obviously you must still enforce rules and ban the platforms that don't abide.)

Are you going to listen to Microsoft or are you going to download Vivaldi? in c/[email protected]

[–] TheV2 1 points 2 months ago

No, Microsoft recommends using Microsoft Windows. That's what Microsoft support told Microsoft researchers on a Microsoft article that I found using Microsoft Bing. So it must be correct!

I'd tolerate it, but not support it. Forcefully taking them away gains these platforms even more support and demand. Only when people seek for alternatives or a change on their own, we can solve the problems.

Productivity vs muscle memory/knowledge (self.shell)

submitted 3 months ago by TheV2 to c/shell

11 comments fedilink

After a long time I'm in a situation where I sometimes work on a temporary system without my individual setup. Now whenever I might add a new custom (nushell) command that abstracts the usage of CLI tools, I think about the loss of muscle memory/knowledge for these tools and how much time I waste looking them up without my individual setup. No, that's not a huge amount of time, but just out of curiosity I'd like to know how I can minimize this problem as much as possible.

Do you have some tips and solutions to handle this dilemma? I try to shadow and wrap existing commands, whenever it's possible, but that's often not the case. Abbreviations in fish are optimal for this problem in some cases, but I don't think going back to fish as my main shell for this single reason would be worth it.

Terms for intentional anti-extensibility (self.programming)

submitted 3 months ago by TheV2 to c/programming

20 comments fedilink

Sometimes I create a solution to a simple problem. However instead of making use of the solution, I keep extending it unnecessarily. This is why for this kind of project, I want to systematically restrain my future self from adding new features beyond the initial vision e.g. by actively refusing generic and re-usable code.

What is the search engine friendly term for this approach or at least for this situation? "Ad-hoc programming" may be literally what I'm talking about, but in practice it's associated with unplanned happenings.

Fiction with recursive loop (self.books)

submitted 9 months ago by TheV2 to c/[email protected]

13 comments fedilink

Is there any kind of fiction where multiple stories are connected in a recursive loop? The connection could be a character who writes or narrates the story. e.g.

story A -> story B
story B -> story C
story C -> story A

Thanks in advance for any help!
