  • DB diagram recommendations? (ERD tool)

    Jump

  • I use mermaid or PlantUML, so I can write it out in text and get a visual render inside vscode (just get yourself a mermaid or PlantUML extension)

  • Note that the .svg (or .png, for that matter) contains the metadata for draw.io itself, so you can basically have a regular .png that you can also open in draw.io.

    Just don't optimize the .png for filesize - the metadata will be removed, and you won't be able to edit the file anymore.

    Same for the .svg with https://svgomg.net/

  • Some questions for my fellow Muslims here

    Jump

  • And I convinced myself that using non-free software is haram and I shouldn’t do it... In Muslim communities anywhere, no fatwas about it.

    WTF I love Islam now?

  • Nix ignoring untracked files is even more ridiculous with jj

  • I use a Justfile, so I can make a file containing local shortcuts via the just binary.

    I have created this so I can run just switch [wodan] ([] implies optionality):

     
        
default_host := "wodan"

set shell := ["bash", "-euo", "pipefail", "-c"]

# Apply a host configuration immediately and persist across reboots.
switch host:
  sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#"{{host}}"

    By doing this, I could prepend git add . or jj status, while sticking to just switch for myself and not having to think about any pre-steps.

    I just think it's neat.

  • UK police show up at man's house because of his offensive username, then drop it after seeing him.

  • Seems to be a ham fisted approach to the issue of hate speech.

    Agreed

    You (the UK)

    I'm not from the UK.

    keen to make all people part of the UK

    Part of the Common Wealth, not the UK.

    there is no Welsh Scottish or Northern Irish citizens

    Not English either. Only British.

    if your grandad came over 50 years ago and you have never been in his country and you don’t speak “foreign” I don’t know what to call you except english.

    So anyone who can't speak English definitely isn't English? What about people who regularly visit the country their parents came from?

    English is not a race.

    Correct, it's an ethnicity, like Somalians, Armenians, Igbo, Dutch, Quechua, Koreans, etc.

    Being able to speak English, and having a white skin does not make me English, because I don't share history nor culture with the English.

    If you have an issue with black and brown people in your neighborhood then you need to look at the history of white English people going and taking resources and people from where they where and placing them elsewhere.

    Let's say I am English - why could I not complain about non-English people (again, that does not relate to skin colour) supposedly fucking up my neighbourhood? What does that have to do with someone from my culture doing something bad back in history?

  • Minorities can't change

    Jump

  • Libertarians hate minorities, Liberals love Nazis? That's what I gather from the background-colouring anyway. I wonder that the Communists and Monarchists think.

  • Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?

    Jump

  • I think that's just a "happy little accident".

  • How would you respond to the statement "Trans women are biologically male" ?

    Jump

  • on the internet or in documentation

    On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

  • In capitalism you get brutally fucked up the ass by rich ppl

    Jump

  • "In capitalism you just gotta work hard to get rich"

    Hm. Well, here's my rebuttal:

  • No individuality

    Jump

  • "Under Commusim everyone would just be a drone with no individuality"

    A rebuttal:

  • How would you respond to the statement "Trans women are biologically male" ?

    Jump

  • Biologically female

    That's just redundant. "female" generally already refers to biology. Only silly people use "female" to refer to gender identity.

  • How would you respond to the statement "Trans women are biologically male" ?

  • if someone asks to be called she/her/susan then just do it.

    In my life I've only met one person who noted her pronouns, and none (including her) who ever asked for specific pronouns use. That's shit is such a weird Americanism. You're weird if you do that.

  • Step 1: Get rid of these generational names.

    Europe doesn't have them. The USA only has them because whoever comes up with one gets invited to talk about what defines that generation, and with that a lot of money.
