lime!

fuck that’s funny, didn’t even think of that

i am not assuming anything, i’m going off of what you said.

yeah sorry this thread isn’t going to go the way you think because what you’re describing is not them having thin skin, it’s you coming into a community you know nothing about and espousing your opinion as if it is fact. no wonder your thread got removed.

the problem is, apparently, that we just don’t know what sort of effect that heating has when it happens inside the body.

you know, never mind the radio spectrum part of what the sun puts out.

actually no, some of it gets absorbed. that’s why there are SAR values available for all cellphones. it measures how many watts of heat get absorbed per kilogram of brain.

since it’s non-ionizing though, the only effect is a slight heating. like microwatts of heating. 15 minutes in direct sunlight is equal to millions of phone calls. but we do measure it!

it was about nutrition. it started with the fact that proteins, fats and sugars all have different energy densities and so how much weight you gain is dependent on what the food is, which is all fair. but then i made the mistake of saying “your weight won’t go up by more than the weight of the food, anyway.” and that spiralled out of control completely. apparently that’s wrong and you can gain infinite weight from one chocolate bar.

as usual for this person they felt that i refused to take the “holistic” view into account.

a more recent conversation started with them talking about some sort of blood sugar sensor that athletes use and when i said “that’s interesting, what’s it called?” they started talking about gut microbes.

well, they do sell ones that work. you can measure them blocking all em radiation from exiting out the back of your phone… instead blasting all of it into your head. significantly more of it too, since the normal reaction of a phone that loses signal is to boost its own in order to find a tower.

neat

…lemmy has profiles and dms? didn’t actually know that.

reddit grew those after a huge influx of users demanded them, and i’ve still never understood why.

you seem to be under the impression that lemmy wants to be big. i can’t speak for the creators, but the vibe among users (except on .world) seems to be that not growing is preferable. changing the social media landscape? why? let people use what they want. why would there need to be an endgame?

like slashdot, digg, and reddit, lemmy is a link aggregator. the community is not the point, it is an emergent feature.

yeah but nobody in scotland would call bourbon whisky

bourbon and water? eh

i didn’t talk much to the people at my last place but i’m going to make an effort now that i’ve moved. seems like a good safety net to have in case something happens.

collecting wood for heating.

back then? both codebases are fully modern. its more that sqlite uses a style that differs from the accepted norm quite a bit. that, and they don’t accept contributions.

fossil is made by the sqlite devs, for development of sqlite. this is not some amateur operation.

also, it’s by the sqlite people, so expect the code to be… odd.

it looks sort of like a continuation of the beaker browser project. basically, a peer to peer browser that also serves content you have made to others using the browser. it’s a cute idea.

i’m currently going through it! company is slowly collapsing around me and despite promises of transparency there is no official communication from the board. we get all our information from news articles and office gossip. people are quitting left and right and no acknowledgement of this is made from above. it’s a very odd situation.

in the health sector specifically, IT is a mess because you can’t stop people from working or there will be deaths. one thing you should take away from this is that their jobs are important and it is crucial that they can do them. it is your job to support them; anything that stops them doing their job or makes it take longer, even once, is dangerous. improving infra for its own sake is not a good idea because it comes at the risk of peoples lives. the details don’t matter in the face of that.

if this stresses you out, you can absolutely change jobs. i did.

if you think you can work within those parameters, and you think you can find ways to improve the system in-place while mitigating the risks, then you will be highly respected.
