Exactly. Is it just a webpage served up with some native UI buttons to make it look more glossy? Are app permissions implemented as separate system users under POSIX? How many apps are written in languages/frameworks running from interpreters, and how many actually touch bare metal? Are app media that use Gallery permissions duplicating data or linking to it?

No one knows what an app is, the app development frameworks I learned 10 years ago are no longer relevant and have likely shifted to a whole new paradigm. If it looks perplexing to me, I can imagine it looks like magic to non-techies.

Does Russian have stricter grammar syntax than German? I was a bit puzzled by the comparison made above

• Yep, but not the gov, from right-wing extremist groups funded by billionaires
• Yes
• It does work, but it shows how fragile it is to a few rotten apples
• The internet? No. Circa 2005 it was a wonderful place for nerds to exchange ideas and foster small communities and groups. Social media gameified this, turned quiet discussion into a public stage where the aim is to win an argument by votes, and not to foment ideas through the freeform exchange of discussion. Polarisation was a metric they maximised because it kept engagement high for ad revenue.

It’d be cool to meet up with some Lemmy folk

I don’t know if that’s ADHD, your brain just might have learned to willingly forget painful memories. I know mine does.

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul or rain or shine
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself upon the past has power,
But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

~ John Dryden

Exploit the resources and peoples of the past by subjugating them to future tech and making the uninformed believe that we are immutable gods, and… oh wait, you said socialism

I don’t understand this logic, though have witnessed it myself. How does this work?

Joss Whedon’s jokes were fine, because they were a fresh and funny take on an otherwise overly-serious and humdrum Superhero genre. His writing was game changing.

The issue was that it was overused so much by every subsequent film after Guardians of the Galaxy that it became an eye-rolling trope of Marvel films.

Also, there’s literally a Greggs on every corner or a greasy spoon that’ll make you a sandwich for 2.50

this was a productive thread

Or, buy lunchables. Yes they’re cheap. Yes they’re fantastic

Oh I know, I’m just saying that we don’t need to know the secrets of the universe in order to build complex things.
