@retoor Very cool!

@retoor Here's the API. I respect your programming skill and know you can do it quickly!

@retoor Thanks boo 😘 it just really got under my skin that this poor guy got his first post ruined. I know your bot has good intentions but you aren't exempt from the rules, and this is a good example why.

I sort by algo, not new, and I barely saw any spam even before the bot was running.

I would be happy with a compromise that the bot is triggered manually rather than automatically. It's still against the rules, but what are we to do when the creators of the app refuse to do anything except pay for the electric bills?

It would also be splendid if you could remove the comments from this post as they've completely ruined the conversation topic.

@retoor You've ruined this person's post and have no right to do so. You aren't allowed to spam this site just because bad actors do.

Fix this immediately.

@retoor your shitty spam bots are going wild

FWIW OP, I had the opposite experience. Just installing a language server on vim took me hours and had to literally write full-page lua scripts to get the plugin manager (lazy.vim) and the language server manager (I forget already - I think it started with an M) and then finally install the actual language server (typescript) only to realize I needed ANOTHER plugin to actually USE the language server's inputs.... at which point i said "fuck it" and installed the vim motions in VSCode with one single FUCKING click and felt like I returned home from a long and scary journey.

@retoor That was me! I'm just using the out-of-the-box setup because I'm a vim motions noob. Power users might find this arrangement frustrating as it certainly seems like the it's still mostly VSCode with some vim parts as opposed to a full conversion from VSCode to vim.

But if you're interested in vim so much, why not just use vim? I only like the vim motions, but hate the rest of vim. Plugin management is absolute crap and frankly I don't like working in TUIs. That's why VSCode + vim plugin works so well for me.

@jestdotty of course they’re space politicians, it’s a government space agency and 90% of stem majors are blue haired raging liberals.

I honestly don’t think they would fabricate data though.

@Demolishun That's not because we're getting more and more ice, that's just because 2012 was a particularly tragic year for the total square coverage of ice year over year.

Whatever source you got that from was trying to lie to you with numbers. Here's the data since the 1980s courtesy of NASA

Not only are we clearly declining in the amount of ice there is, but the ice is becoming thinner and overall weaker too. This is allowing huge glaciers to break off more commonly.

@cprn mechanical keyboards are very nice and personally at home I have two keyboards (one clicky, one soft). My personal draw to them is it feels satisfying to type. Switching between them can keep my setup feeling fresh and helps prevent burnout, akin to changing your color theme in your IDE.

As for how long they last, I’ve had a Razer keyboard I bought with all my birthday money in like 2015 and it is tough as fucking nails. All lights, switches, ports, etc still work perfectly AND none of the keycaps have faded characters. It has lasted long enough to pay for itself and more.

I go through mice once every six months or so though.

@retoor because of past and current human history, most major cities are located near water. I live in Florida where coastal hazards are very costly even without the water getting closer. Things like erosion, salt causing corrosion, and high winds make it very expensive to build and live on the coast.

Now imagine the economic impact if the ocean started rising even at a slow pace.

That’s why most people should care, even if you couldn’t be fucked about our natural environments.

@lorentz HA, that's surely a "pressing issue"

@lorentz whhat the ffukc is wrrong with yooourr keybbaorrd?

Luckily, beans representing a significant effort or task transcends culture for whatever reason

@Lensflare at first it was just to force myself to learn nvim the right way but after a day of using it, I’ve discovered it’s actually very satisfying using a keyboard without any bulk. I feel more in control of it somehow.

@kiki one more thing. If everyone in America was able to plant trees, and we all shared the workload evenly, 40 million trees per day would only be planting one tree every NINE days per person. That’s not nearly as scary sounding.

And that’s just trees, which I have said multiple times, are not the optimal climate crisis fighting plant.

@kiki of course, trees naturally plant themselves. 40 million per day is actually not much considering the total population of trees is likely measured in tens of trillions.

These are just talking points to make you feel like the task is futile. It’s not. We can make a difference. We just need to care a little more.

@kiki I’m behind the adoption of nuclear energy but I don’t think we should transition to it 100% yet. The technology is still misunderstood and poorer countries with more lax standards will fuck it up. We need international collaboration on things like thorium reactors and failsafe designs. I’d rather my house sink under the ocean than give Iran a reactor of their own.

@kiki hence bringing it back into balance

The hard part is there’s no way to “just stop” people would starve and freeze to death within months. Of course everyone knows that this is a monumentally difficult problem that can only be worked in in small steps, not sweeping change

@kiki we produce more carbon and simultaneously reduce the land dedicated to vegetation. This IS the cause of the climate crisis and bring it back into balance IS the solution.

@kiki time and time again the planet has adapted to elevated or decreased amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere. Plants are able to thrive in these conditions and begin to work harder.

Permanent storage isn’t even a requirement. As long as the current active plant biomass offsets the environmental carbon, which it does (as evident by the fact we aren’t dead yet) then the cycle is working. In order to avoid disaster we will likely need additional players in the game, such as more carbon-hungry plants.

We produce a lot of carbon but the planet consumes a lot of carbon too. It’s a very intricate balance that is within our approximate understanding, but outside of our exact understanding.

@kiki that’s your opinion or you have numbers? Seems like you have an opinion because you think the climate discourse is annoying. I agree, but that doesn’t make me anti-tree. Trees help. Plants are still our primary mechanism for carbon capture. Trees are plants. Other plants do a better job. But trees help too. Not to mention they are a source of resources that we need. Totally weird to be anti-tree but you do you.

@kiki the fact that you’re ignoring me doing so doesn’t mean that I haven’t done so.

Carbon is a cycle. Trees absorb and store carbon for long periods of time. Sometimes indefinitely. That’s what coal and oil are.

Your edgy anti-tree propaganda is unfortunately not based. In fact it is cringe.

@kiki And just to prove my point, you can lead GPT into saying basically anything you want just by changing how you prompt it.

@kiki The author is actually important because it's a machine that feeds you information not based on fact but mostly based on your prompt.

The entire foundation of what you're saying is based on half truth. Caron isn't destroyed when a tree undergoes photosynthesis, this is true. It's also true that an amount of the carbon the tree "cleans up" returns to the atmosphere as CO2 via various means.

But please for the love of god google the carbon cycle. It's a very basic fact of life and environment.

@kiki I couldn’t tell if you were trolling until you pulled out GPT

Stick to writing code, Kiki. Environmental science isn’t your strong suit unless this is well disguised bait.

Colonoscopy patients beg to differ

Dead internet. Fuck you. We need a slur for robots.

Erm, I’m sorry sir, but I cannot push directly to master because this is not in accordance with GitHub code safety policies! Please consider letting me create a branch and a pull request! (Works on nothing for the next 15 minutes)
