  • I guess if that’s how it works for you, sure. For me it’s upvote if funny, nothing if meh and downvote if downright malicious (bigotry, toxic behavior etc.). I don’t think I gave out more than 10 downvotes on Lemmy during this whole year. Though I can see how this post might qualify for the “bigotry or toxic” category, but I’m willing to give it a benefit of doubt.

    That being said, if you have a different policy, who am I to judge.











  • I have nothing against veganism as a dietary decision, I’m actually seriously considering it for health reasons and for easier food preparation.

    I am sick of veganism as a moral high horse, especially with hypocrisy in the background. I have a friend constantly ordering stuff, including vegan ingredients, from Amazon of all places. If he’s going to low-key admonish me for hurting animals, I’d expect him to care about the Amazon warehouse employees to a similar degree. Unless it’s all just posturing.



  • If the hard mode merely makes everything into a bullet sponge with huge HP bar, no thanks. I’m perfectly fine with some games just being easier and others just being harder. Or having multiple well thought out difficulty options, but only if they are actually well thought out.


  • never mind, I looked it up. It’s a “reference” instead of a pointer. Similar, but unlike a pointer it doesn’t create a distinct variable in memory of its own.

    I’m almost sure it does create a distinct variable in memory. Internally it’s still a pointer, specifically a const pointer (not to be confused with a pointer to a const value; it’s the address that does not change). Think about it as a pointer that is only ever dereferenced and never used as a pointer. So yes, like the other commenter said, like an alias.
