I remember The End of Eternity as being quite unlike anything else Asimov wrote, and all the better for it.

It doesn’t have to be separate branches - you can generate different versions of the software from the same code branch, e.g. using compiler/build time switches for those bits of the code that differ between the different target platforms. Then you would have a build pipeline per platform; even here the build pipeline can share a lot of common code, and just be parameterized for the specific platform.

Ok, I understand what you are trying to do, but I that is not how I read it at the time. Prefix to me in this context means e.g., “kilo” in “kilobyte”, and not the “k” in “kB”. I am not sure it is helpful to split the unit symbol up like that.

Legislators and regulators are targeting producers and not consumers.

Would you rather trust companies driven entirely by profit over the government?

I wonder how many other people at the mosque secretly think the same as you? If you have children, do you think they will be less constrained than you? In which case, there is some hope that the next generation will escape the strictures of organised religion.

See how splayed out those toes are? That is how our feet have evolved to support walking upright in bare feet. A lot of modern shoes are too narrow, and cram toes together. If some of your toes are bent inwards, then you have shoes to thank for that.

Maybe if she was 80, but at 16 she lost out on most of her expected life.

It goes against the usual, overly romanticised trope for Country House dramas, to be much more gritty and seedy. I like it. Lots of cameos too, a real ensemble piece.

I wonder if his family have disowned him? What an embarrassment to have as a relative.

When you go into a room for something and then can’t remember what it was. There is something about crossing a threshold that makes memories go poof.

Same here, I just assumed there was no status bar, as it is practically invisible. Now I can see it is there, just about. This is my pet peeve with wefwef - I appreciate it is actually an IOS problem. I hope Apple fix it soon, as I don’t like dark modes.

I tried memmy, which does not have the status bar problem, but I still prefer wefwef. Memmy’s light mode is too faded for me - there is not enough contrast between fonts and the background.

I am trying memmy and wefwef; so far I prefer wefwef as I find the memmy light theme to be too light - fonts are too washed out. Don’t like dark themes at all. I wish wefwef would show the current date and time though.

I have lurked on Reddit for many years, using Apollo, but never had an account. It seems that memmy does not let you browse communities without creating an account, so here I am. What I have seen so far of lemmy, it appears a lot friendlier than Reddit. This may induce me to actually contribute in future.
