How many genders are there? 

Two, and they both belong to me. If you want, I can lend you one of them, but you gotta promise to be *reeeaaallly* careful with it.

A ban on angry, cishet white boys would reduce violence more than a ban on any kind of weapon.

Am I the only one who reads botsin.space as "bot sin space" and not "bots in space"?

So to recap, most people don't understand how computers work, least of all the legislators, google and friends are making a fortune off our backs marketing AI as something very big and important, much more than it actually is, but despite that it's still very complicated and means that we're gonna have a real bad time if we start relying on it and them for any reason

I'm about to do a thread on computers, computer literacy, ai, ethics, and capitalism!!! Get ready :3

having a nap is like a game of roulette where red is 'refreshed and wide awake', black is 'groggier and grumpier than before', and 0 is 'accidentally sleep for 6 hours in the middle of the day'

oh wow, the new SCP rating system is lookin' goooooooooooooood

scp-wiki.net/classification-co

(it's not nearly on every item but it's still good)

@mavica The only other thing I can think of is to try this: forum.xda-developers.com/showt

Honestly, though, I've not played with it myself, so I don't know how well it works (or if it works on android 4.4)

@mavica You might try KDE Connect. It's not exactly "remote access", but it does have remote media controls that should(?) work with droidsound. I don't know if you're looking to do anything else with it, but if that's all you're looking for, it should work pretty well

why do I have to keep having programming takes, aaah it got long 

my take about any given language is that they're all tools. you pick the right tool for the job, and it's good to have a wide variety of tools at your disposal

I was born in a C# cave, so I wouldn't reach for Java without a good reason because it's not what I'm most productive in, but it's there.

also, whatever you pick is going to be fast enough unless you have some particular need for performance, like you're running in tight loops or keeping hardware requirements down or you're a high frequency trader or Google for some reason. if your program is mostly IO bound (like most things these days that mostly do web requests), you don't really care.

also also, learning languages isn't the important thing. it's about learning fundamental concepts, how to express them, and what that particular tool makes easy and what it makes difficult. Remember: the tools you use shape you, and getting stuck in any one mindset is a terrible waste. Broaden those horizons.

nsfw, shitpost? 

The more I try to find decent stuff to masturbate to, the more I realize I'm not *quite* pansexual. Not only am I not attracted to generic hentai protagonist male #5362, his very presence actively turns me off. This holds true for ever generic hentai protagonist male.

So, yeah. I'm pansexual *except* for generic male hentai protags.
