Oh sorry, you were talking about LASIK? I found it really strange, because when I read first, I thought that you were talking about picking between lenses and glasses, because the thought of LASIK never came to my mind, because I view it in a poor light.

Personally, I’ll commit to wear glasses, as LASIK fucks your eyes - it will always be dry and itchy, and also because you’re essential lasering the few layers of cells in front of your eyes that bends light, and thereby shifts the focal length.

If there’s a new viral-based vector that forces regeneration of eyes through stem cells or insert-fancy-biology-term, I’m open to it. I’m a transhumanist in the sense that I hate cybernetic enhancement, but I see mutation as a superior form for human evolution. You know, fire-resistant dragon scale, kangaroo-like legs, shrimp-like eyes and cat-like reflexes.

How is it related to wearing glasses? And on the contrary, shouldn’t it be the other way - using glasses, which is easily removable vs contact lenses, which isn’t as much?

Oh yes, that I agree on. And I’ve been following WASM, although not with great enthusiasm. Guile has Hoots integration, and I believe there was a Scheme game jam recently with most projects using this.

But that logic makes no sense, tbf, given how container was way back in BSD. I like how it is a balanced choice between an ephemeral environment and virtualization.

If we are talking about how NodeJS is the biggest pain in the ass to maintain for distros, and how they’ve forcibly tied V8 into the repository, that I’d agree gladly.

As a friendly trash-dev, I’d recommend never to open the deps folder, I’d bet that most of you folks will have a stroke.

Oh yes, Tata Group, the good capitalists 🤡

People have boner for these scumbags, it’s hilarious watching them rubbing out one for Ratan.

In India, they’d have walked scotch-free. Well, have fun rotting in here.

Context?

It’s a Jamaican slang for ‘friend’ or ‘brother’.

They should revive this script. I like it more than Cyrillic.

Blud could’ve chosen Runic, Egyptian, Ancient Romanian used by Vlad the Impaler, Mesapotamian or even Harappan Indic. But Italian is it.

How does being an atheist fix the issue of colonialism? The native Americans still have most of their land under the US government. The aboriginals still have their land under the Australian government. Same can be said about South America, where natives have no representation in politics.

That’s the most beautiful webpage I’ve seen in a while. Looks like it barely uses JS for stuff like timezone, and menu. I know it’s not related to the topic, but I’m neither so…yeah.

You forgot to add this - three controversial independent candidates have gained candidacy:

• Amritpal Singh - a Sikh separatist
• Sarabjeet Singh Khalsa - son of Indira Gandhi’s assassin, and a hardliner Sikh
• Engineer Rashid - leader of a separatist party

Two of them - Amritpal and Rashid, may not be able to exercise their rights as members of the Lok Sabha, as they’re behind the bars.

Now, it’s left to the INDIA coalition to convince JD(U) and TDP to leave NDA and join on their sides:

• Nitish Kumar wants a good role to satisfy his ego. I remember how their bargaining failed because he wanted to be the prime minister - which is weird - I mean, a minority ally demanding a higher position is fucking stupid - why would the Congress ditch Mallikarjun Kharge for this doofus? Besides, he’s a Hindi imperialist bastard, who can’t respect the diversity of culture in India.

  Asserting that Hindi was the national language, Nitish Kumar reportedly launched a tirade against English which he said was imposed by the British; some later speakers switched to English after his outburst.

  The context here being that English was used as a common language, and not because of a colonial mentality.

  He’s been offered the role of deputy prime minister, which holds no special status in the Constitution, but parties are free to choose one. I hate this person so much, but there’s no choice.

• TDP might probably demand special status for Andhra Pradesh, because the division of the state into Telangana and Andhra Pradesh resulted in the state losing the city of Hyderabad, which affected the area tremendously - and from that day, they haven’t voted INC or it’s allies.

NATO member trying to join BRICS+? I really don’t understand the logic.

GOOPs and CLOS exists in functional programming languages. Just saying.

In India, we used to breach medical patents, but fuck Modi for the new patent rules.

The world has become monochromatic for me, so no --color for me.

grep -nr <pattern>, thank me later.
