Frog spawn are the boba of the pond world.

Needs more sunlight.

Wouldn’t if I was you.

It’s also a Metallica song

Fuck your duck! I raise you my 🐦

When you remember where the buttons are they’re fine to navigate. The average keyboard that meant people can type on without looking has less physical feedback (2 small bumps on f and h).

Brother are good but I got a Kyocera about 6yrs ago and have never had to change the toner. I’ve been through about 2 blocks of paper in that time. Prints great.

Holy fucking shit balls. I contemplated seeing up an instance on a £5 VPS. Hmmmm, I think my scale is a bit off.

Oooooh this is relevant to my interests!! After 20yrs doing web dev I crashed out of two jobs in 6 months completely hating coding. Can’t even bring myself to look at code nowadays.

What did you go into after quitting web dev?

What did you used to program in?

Tracking clicks on links with JS is pretty normal. I always implemented that with Google analytics for my e-commerce sites.

It helps you track things like downloads of files, email links, exit links, etc.

Hipster language? It’s a lot more popular than you suggest.

Java is a fucking awful language.

I wonder if the lemmy.ml users will burst in here too brigade this story into the ground.

Last time I suggested Nicaragua had a poor human rights record I got banned from the instance.

Similar happened to me. I got banned from 2westerneurope4u and another mod unbanned me a few weeks later. So I commented again.

Permaban from Reddit for evading a ban.

Any time I created a new account it would be banned for ban evasion.

So I can’t comment on Reddit unless I set up an account with a VPN.

Fuck all that.

It’s a concept in Japanese martial arts that I read in a book by Takuan Soho.

Wiki:

Fudōshin (Japanese: 不動心) is a state of equanimity or imperturbability (literally and metaphorically, “immovable mind”,[1] “immovable heart”[2] or “unmoving heart”). It is a philosophical or mental dimension to Japanese martial arts which contributes to the effectiveness of the advanced practitioner.

I was training in Jujutsu and kenjutsu at the time and the concept clicked. I know it sounds very ‘weeb’ but it was an epiphany and quite profound for me at the time.

There’s a Shingon Buddhist deity that encapsulates the concept too and he holds a sword to cut through ignorance and delusion.

There’re some related concepts like Mushin that come together with marital arts.

Excellent source. Thank you

Friendship and happy-ha-ha it’s strictly prohibited!

I ask my mate in Shenzhen what he thinks of China and Xi.

He hates Xi and so do most of his friends. His wife is even a member of the CCP.

If you don’t fully commit to the party line and pay increasing fees you don’t progress in the CCP. Sounds a lot like Scientology tbh and they see it as more of a tax. Because leaving is a huge no-no. She wishes she never joined.

I take his (Chinese) opinion of China much more highly than a bunch of angry Zoomer kids on Lemmy.ml posting puff-pieces by the CCP.
