I consider aetheism to be more an absence of belief in gods.
Its not that i believe there arent gods. Its that i have no belief in gods.
The former being anti-god/anti-religion. And the later being anti-belief.
Maybe like "not accidentally cutting yourself" and "not having a knife". Both lead to "not accidentally cutting yourself", but 1 involves a knife.

    Uniforms are good because it stops the whole "fashion clique" bullshit. Or at least MASIVELY curbs it.
    And I say that as someone that has spent time in the US public/free/commoner schools AND the UK public/free/commoner schools.

    School uniforms are a good thing.

    But "girls wear dresses" is the strange thing. It should be "dresses, shorts or trousers" with generic specifications for these (so no hot pants or yoga pants kinda idea). Same for the shirts, shoes, socks, tie.

    And school uniforms are obviously an underage thing. There might be 18 year olds still in high/secondary school, but that is a FRACTION compared to the underage people that have to wear school uniforms.

    I'm for the ban. It makes sense.

    Very interesting topic. Very astute observation, amazing organisation, and a fantastic debate to have.
    I think some sort of middle ground has to be reached. Define what the UK school uniform actually is (and make it open and accepting, review it often). And ban the whole "schoolgirl skirt" aesthetic in porn (black shoes, white/black socks, grey/black skirt, white collared shirt).

    I don't think governments have anything between illegal and legal. So they have to make it illegal and decide/hint/inform/decree/whatever how much it is pursued and prosecuted... which is how they greyscale it.

    There IS a "schoolgirl aesthetic". You know it when you see it.
    "School disco" is a common theme night at student clubs.

    What an interesting debate.
    I'm all for it: "school uniform" is primarily an underage thing.
    The current youth has raised this as a national (international?) debate, and they should be rewarded.
    I have no issues with this kind of porn being illegal, it will still be accessible for those that want/need it (everything is always accessible on the internet).

    Yeh, this is common.
    I've heard of PPI (Producer Pleaser Indicator) which is a mixing desk channel not routed anywhere but can be fiddled with to meet client demands.
    And there is the DFA (Does Fuck All). Similar concept

    They will be using data center compute to generate the traffic, but proxy it through residential proxies and other compromised devices that form a botnet.
    Central generation with remote access for the trolls, and distributed outbound traffic.

    First of all, I like the alliteration of examples I always struggle with things like that, and alliteration is an obvious (now, to me) bridge for these.

    explore ideas too large to fit in our brains

    Another excellent explanation of programming.
    And it really does describe the programming of tasks, from punch card weaving machines, to punch card data entry, to direct data entry, to punch card processing, direct processing, and eventually the whole Operating System, Assembly, and Higher Level Languages... And all of the steps between that have since developed.
    You can become an expert in memory management, and that idea fits into your brain. And you build the APIs that mean memory management doesn't have to fit into other people's brains. So they can work on instruction optimisation, or storage optimisation.

    Standing on the shoulders of giants.
    There is so much that can be solved with programming these days, but actual people have so much more... Peoplesness, humanity, realness... That some things aren't worth programming yet... That problem hasn't been solved yet

    (not sure where to post this...)

    I had an idea there might be a TUI lib for typescript. A duckduckgo search came up with an article that described exactly what I wanted!
    So of course I immediately searched for this fabled tui lib. A quick search didn't reveal anything, and npm can't seem to find it either! https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=Tui
    Navigating directly to the npm package page reveals a 10 year old got repo with no actual code... (https://github.com/basarat/tui)

    What the scuff is this world coming to?!
    This seems to absolutely align with my experience of using LLMs

    (Also accepting suggestions for typescript TUI libs that actually exist!)

    How is funding? (programming.dev)
     

    I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
    I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

    I saw another post about another instances funding.
    Which reminded me....

    Is programming.dev on track for funding?
    Need some more donations?
    Is there a runway?
