What hills are you dying on?

• No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
• Static typing sucks.

AI generated slop from scrubbed data are not images. One real image shows what clearly is a star.

People without empathy shouldn't have the right to lead people (politics, work, ...).

There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.

Russia should be denuclearised and split up.

I live in a household that is divided between Celsius (me) and Fahrenheit (wife). I wish I could switch every device, but I have to pick my battles. So I expose myself as much as possible and recite the following

30 is hot
20 is nice
10 is cool
0 is ice

Being vegan is a moral base line.

Fortunately my wife is both gracious and adventurous in this regard, and is cool with having most of our stuff on Celsius. I switched before we were married, and she’s slowly learning by virtue of everything being on Celsius except her phone.

Edit: Also, this may be helpful, I came up with a heuristic early on to approximate Fahrenheit values to help me learn.

I memorized every 10 (and eventually every 5) and then approached from the nearest memorized point using 2°F per 1°C instead of 1.8.

For example, if something said 22°C, I’d start at 20°C=68°F and work my way up, adding 4, to get to 72°F. Since the actual value is 71.6°F, that’s close enough.

If you forget a 10 or a 5 it’s easy to recalculate them if you know another, because it’s 9°F per 5°C. So if 20 is 68, and 30 is 86, then 25 is 77.

(Obviously you could also do the full conversion but that takes me more time.)

I like spring because its not exhaustingly warm, and I like being outside in rain anyway.

How is that true in a way different from other industries? I do think there's no necessity for the race of the VA to correspond with the race of the character. That might be because I don't have a good grasp on the arguments otherwise though.

The argument I've heard in favor of VAs matching their characters is to avoid laundering white perspectives to minority characters, which would make sense if the VA didn't have their livelihood on the line when asked to read from a script written by a cishet white man. I feel like requiring a minority do that makes no difference other than providing a cover of legitimacy for the words said.

But as a cishet white male myself, maybe I'm mischaracterizing the argument, I'd be curious. I have asked my (racial minority) wife at one point a couple years back and she wasn't sure.

It's a given that there are insensitivities in hirings, but I struggle to imagine a way in which that would be unique to voice acting specifically.

Rather than banning that just tax the shit out of people who have multiple homes

[christian@lemmy.ml]

You don't have to like it for it to be a valid topping.

That's a hill you will die on from old age. I have never once heard someone say pineapple is not a valid topping in a way I thought was meant to be taken literally and not as a hyperbolic way of saying "I don't like it".

[walktheplank@lemmy.world]

There shouldn't be borders.

[weirdcarrotmonster@sh.itjust.works]

It's not that i disagree, but can you elaborate on that?

[duke_nukem_1990@feddit.org]

Inflicting pain and suffering is bad, especially if done for selfish reasons, like pleasure (and tbh if someone were to disagree with that, I'd dont want to talk to them). Exploiting animals is exactly that, taste pleasure to be exact.

Android is the worst anti-consumer shit I've ever seen in software and should be illegal

[agent_nycto@lemmy.world]

I'm pretty sure that if someone wanted a pug, seeing one person who did a rescue wouldn't be the tipping point.

And there are people who are trying, through breeding, to reverse the damage done to these poor animals.

So yeah, I think there are ethical ways to own a pug.

[hobbitfoot@thelemmy.club]

People on Lemmy aren't "normal" people and shouldn't use their personal views as the norm.

[zannsolo@lemmy.world]

Celsius makes more sense for everything but normal to hot temps. 100 being about as hot as is tolerable. 75 being perfect 50 being tolerable cold.

Python sucks.

Not only is it extremely inefficient, it is also a pain in the ass to work with if you have to use APIs that heavily rely on dynamic type wrapping and don't provide stubs. Static analysis via Pylance is not possible then and you're basically poking around in the dark, increasing the difficulty enourmously to get to know such an API. Even worse if there isn't even a halfway decent documentation.
