XML aims to be both human-readable and machine-readable, but manages neither. It’s only really worth it if you actually need the complexity or extensibility, otherwise it’s just a major pain to map XML structures to any sensible type representation. I’ve been forced to work with some of the protocols that people like to present as examples of good XML usage and I hate every single one of them.

Fuck YAML though. That spec is longer and more complex than any other markup language I know of and it doesn’t have a single fully compliant implementation.

It’s always been a “whole ass computer”, not some kind of simple storage device.

Consider what trace minerals actually means, then think about the tiny amounts of salt used for cooking.

I’ve been hating on the raw food movement for much longer than lemmy even existed. Drinking raw milk is especially stupid.

I would fucking hope not. TERM is explicitly passed along as the only exception, which is the only sensible default for temporary privilege elevation in a shell.

It’s a phoronix article, there’s never more than two paragraphs and a quote in there anyway.

None of what I said implied anything else.

I’m aware that any of the past attempts to classify body types are extremely pseudo-scientific and I’ve explained as much in a different comment in this thread. The point is that “body type” isn’t just necessarily just a generic way to refer to someone’s body shape. Plenty of people still believe in that made up nonsense.

What are you trying to say?

No, like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_type

Even if I were to agree with this rather obvious trolling attempt.

Peak reddit conversation.

That makes a bit more sense. I was initially reminded of the various pseudo-scientific attempts to classify variations in human body shapes, which usually don’t factor in great variations in body fat content. The way it’s used in the image made me think this was an attempt to frame an unhealthy lifestyle as something inherent that can’t be changed.

“Body type”? Is obesity a body type?

I’ve heard of it before and I don’t work in advertising or video production. Why is everyone focusing on this term like these guys invented it?

I’m pretty sure that was the intent behind the original wording. The interpretation of this being the remnant of a female human makes sense to me, but as this is an anecdotal account of Sandi Toksvig’s time in university, we really have no idea if this is a good example of the lack of a female perspective in anthropology or just a convenient strawman to make a point.

In any case, cool meme.

Nope, afraid not.

Almost nothing uses ethernet over HDMI to my knowledge.

Somehow I knew when I wrote that comment that someone would interpret “it’s possible to discourage VPN usage and make it harder for the layman” as “it’s possible to prevent VPN usage completely and China is 100% successful at doing that”. China hasn’t gone all in on blocking VPN traffic either way, since corporations can still use them and tourists don’t like having their internet connection dropped without warning (which they actually did at one point), but someday they might and it will probably be enough to prevent the majority from using VPNs to circumvent government censorship.

It’s not feasible to prevent it completely, but you can certainly make it harder for the average person and discourage usage by simply outlawing it. That’s what China is doing at least.

This reads like an AI generated news story about a reddit post.
