Never Forget in c/memes@lemmy.ml

Oh yeah, when I double-checked my information for the above comment, I also ran across this section, which is kind of wild (Hitler was clean-edge in some disciplines, while not at all in others):

Hitler stopped drinking alcohol around the time he became vegetarian [...] He was a non-smoker for most of his adult life, but smoked heavily in his youth (25 to 40 cigarettes a day); he eventually quit, calling the habit "a waste of money". [...] Hitler began using amphetamine occasionally after 1937 and became addicted to it in late 1942. Speer linked this use of amphetamine to Hitler's increasingly erratic behaviour and inflexible decision-making (for example, rarely allowing military retreats).

Prescribed 90 medications during the war years by his personal physician, Theodor Morell, Hitler took many pills each day for chronic stomach problems and other ailments. He regularly consumed amphetamine, barbiturates, opiates, and cocaine, as well as potassium bromide and atropa belladonna

Hitler followed a vegetarian diet, not a vegan diet.

He was also prescribed a meat-free diet by his doctor and it was useful for his public image to show himself as loving animals, so it's highly debated how much of it might have been from some genuine moral conviction.
Not least, because it would make no fucking sense when he's slaughtering people in the millions at the same time.

Could've just not posted that. Like, he doesn't even say anything. It's just pure cringe, even if you leave the Jesus depiction aside.

Last year, my doctor prescribed vitamins for me to inject into my tummy fat with a syringe. And let's just say, I was glad to be doing that in privacy, because I most certainly felt like a drug addict.

Even the usual movie depiction of drug addicts being really messy and prodding or cutting themselves, I mirrored quite well, not from withdrawal shaking, but because I'm just really not practiced with syringes. 🫠

Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

Gab vorher kein Firefox Maskottchen. Es gibt mehr oder weniger noch ein Mozilla Maskottchen mit dem ursprünglichen Dino-Logo, falls du das im Kopf hast:

Mozilla Dino Logo

It's right-wing trolling that it's specifically non-binary. It's just iconography they use throughout Firefox, when displaying error messages or the like.

Mozilla didn't bring it up. The story is made up by right-wing trolls.

The dino represents Mozilla, not Firefox itself. And yes, for a while, Mozilla didn't have the dino in its official branding, but it's now back in there. The flag is a dino head. As per usual, significantly more drama was made about them "removing" the dino than it was worth.

Apparently, it's right-wing trolls who made up this non-binary thing. So, you are correct, but it came from the other side of the culture war.

I like Gruvbox but also contrast... (lemmy.ml)

The theme comes in three variants, "Soft Light", "Medium Light" and "Hard Light". Soft and Medium are even yellower. This is so often the case with Gruvbox themes. I just want a white background, is that so unusual? 🫠

(Yes, that's a screenshot of my terminal with the theme applied. Yes, I am one of those monsters that use a terminal with light theme.)

TIL you can debug-format anyhow::Error to get a stacktrace (lemmy.ml)
 

Always had the problem that if I wanted to just log an error, rather than bubble it all the way up to main(), that you wouldn't get a stacktrace. You could iterate the source chain and plug the stacktrace together yourself, but it's rather complex code.

Now I realized, you can do this to get a stacktrace:

let error = todo!("Get an error somehow...");
let error = anyhow::anyhow!(error); //converts to an `anyhow::Error`
eprintln!("Error with stacktrace: {error:?}");

For converting to an anyhow::Error, it often also makes sense to use anyhow::Context like so:

use anyhow::Context;
let error = error.context("Deleting file failed.");

Point-and-click adventures were way ahead of their time (lemmy.ml)
 

In various point-and-click adventure games, you could enter natural language instructions, way before LLMs were a thing.

And for FMV-style titles, real actors got photographed and filmed to create much more photorealistic games than you could ever hope for with motion capturing, raytracing or by using two GPUs to implant creepy photograph snippets onto rendered gameplay.

So, clearly, we weren't ready yet for point-and-click games. 💩

Klickibunti (de.wikipedia.org)
 

Find's spannend, wie jung das Wort ist. Da hat nicht jemand vor Hunderten von Jahren mal "Ubuntus Clickus" gesagt und dann ist es durch Dialekte und Eindeutschung usw. irgendwie bei "Klickibunti" angekommen, sondern irgendjemand hat zu einem Zeitpunkt mal das Wort zum ersten Mal verwendet, und es wurde verstanden und weiterverwendet.
