I'm curious, how do you prefer to consume information online?
Would be amazing if you could boost for improved statistical rigour and all that jazz. #poll #content #information
@rip_imho surely the answer is <by pointer>, but the tendency in C is for metadata (like how many elements per row) to be managed on the side, or implicit, so I don't know how you would get that knowledge passed.
@pee_zombie I'm curious; how much work is it to run this instance, and how much of it is technical vs social?
(Like, managing disk space or memory usage or updates vs responding to reports or whitelisting and blacklisting servers.)
Timeline of a new Mastodon user:
Day 1: this sucks servers are confusing and why is my feed empty
Day 2: why is there no quote tweet this is dumb
Day 3: mastodon better make some changes if it wants to compete with tw_tter
Day 7: hm, people are really nice here
Day 10: loving the no ads and real conversations
Day 15: THE WORKERS MUST SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND EXECUTE CAPITALISTS
@mangeurdenuage so kind of him to carry her hardware.
If you were unfortunate enough to e-file your US #tax using HR Block, Taxact or Taxslayer, your most sensitive financial information was nonconsenually shared with Facebook, where it was added to the involuntary dossier the company maintains billions of people, including people who don't have Facebook accounts.

@Polychrome @christina "Just white male tech nerds" was only ever a content-free slam.
hot take: the more i use it the more i feel like C is an overgrown scripting language. the basic syntax and concepts involved are extremely simple, it runs on virtually anything, and its very resistant to having code in more than a single file. that's a heccin scripting language if i ever seen one

@rbreich uh, is this ignoring all handgun shootings or something?
Handgun shootings (even mass handgun shootings) vastly outnumber rifle shootings.

Eh. If you watch the anime it's pretty clear that she's still a child.
