0·1 month agoIf you travel to Japan, honestly just… Skip Kyoto. It is so full of tourists (national and international), you cannot possibly imagine unless you’ve seen it.
Sure, there’s a lot of impressive temples there. But so is the rest of the country.
We were lucky enough to spend 4 weeks in Japan earlier this year, and if I could do the trip again, I would straight-up skip Kyoto and Osaka.
Rent a car, drive in some random direction. You’ll he a lot happier, it it will actually be your trip. By far the best memories coke from places not in any travel guide.

What would Janeway do…?
without people looking at me like I’m a weirdo and that wasn’t what everyone does when faced with difficult questions.

Web Development@programming.dev•Can we all agree that CSS is a massive pile of shit?
6·1 month agoDisagree. CSS allows you to do whatever you want with it, usually with just a handful of lines. The “it’s so difficult to center things!” meme is, well, a meme.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When does hating religious people start to make you a bigot.
01·1 month agoThe comments here are awful. I am sorry for the abuse you are receiving.
I’m a staunch atheist myself, and even for some of the same reasons others are mentioning in their rage-comments. That being said, hating a person for their religious beliefs alone is baffling, and yes, makes you a bigot.
The exception I would make here is for situation and people where they, based on their religious beliefs hate you, and there’s nothing that can be done about it.I also would not call it bigoted to hate religious institutions for the discord and pain they inflict on the world.
But hating people because “well I was able to see through religion, so I am justified in hating everyone that did not and is still religious” is just such a disingenuous take. It denies the reality of indoctrination-like upbringings, of the differing educations people receive, and puts all religious people into a single “enemy” group.
I’m not US-American, as I assume many of these commenters are; where I live, the proportion of religious people is a lot lower, and the religiosity is… less pronounced, let’s say. It is much more difficult to find someone here who would, for example, go “Homosexuality is a sin according to the bible. Therefore I hate you.”; most religious people seem to have a differentiated opinion about these things, usually being more in line with “I believe there’s a God that loves us. The bible was written by fallible humans whose biases are present in the texts”.
Don’t get me wrong, I still think they are wrong in this and pity them for the time and energy lost on pleasing an imaginary being, and for the pain their beliefs can inflict upon themselves; but ultimately, that’s up to each individual person, and it does not justify hate.
Because a commit should be an “indivisible” unit, in the sense that “should this be a separate commit?” equates to “would I ever want to revert just these changes?”.
IDK about your commit histories, but if I’d leave everything in there, there’d be a ton of fixup commits just fixing spelling, satisfying the linter,…
Also, changes requested by reviewers: those fixups almost always belong to the same commit, it makes no sense for them to be separate.
And finally, I guess you do technically give up some granularity, but you gain an immense amount of readability of your commit history.
also rally people and show them that it is possible to change things, give hope,…
But back to your original comment. Thinking that Greta helps the current systems by doing what she does is a brain-dead take.
Symbols inspire.
If that’s how you feel, then I’d wager that you (like, you personally) are just looking for an excuse to not protest/“rebel” and are projecting.
Seriously, your statement boils down to “if other people do x, they just do it so I don’t have to do x, which is bad, therefore no-one should do x. Why is no-one doing x?”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What items must you take with you every time you leave the house?
1·1 month agoPhone + Insulin pen.
My sensor is stuck to my arm anyways, so I’m not counting that.
Same. And even if you were to fuck up, have people never heard of the
reflog…?Every job I’ve worked at it’s been the expectation to regularly rebase your feature branch on main, to squash your commits (and then force push, obv), and for most projects to do rebase-merges of PRs rather than creating merge commits. Even the, uh, less gifted developers never had an issue with this.
I think people just hear the meme about git being hard somewhere and then use that as an excuse to never learn.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this?
1·2 months agoNot OP, but: watched Haruhi a while back in English Dub, because there’s no German one. It was ok. The main POV character’s monotone voice was fitting in a fun way, but almost everyone else still has this fake energy to it (esp Haruhi and Asahina). Really hard to describe.
In general it’s baffling to me how fake English dubs sound, especially because there clearly are a lot of talented English voice actors doing the voices for cartoons etc.
I have the privilege of comparing the English Dubs to the German ones for a lot of shows, and it’s really interesting how, while the German VAs sound distinctly different from the Japanese originals, they sound natural and not overacted, while the English counterparts almost always sound like they were told “make it sound as fake as possible”.
Another thank you! Sumire is exactly what I have been looking for

Nah. In Europe, Venmo is just not a thing, because bank transfers are free and fast. IDs are a plastic card, just like almost everywhere else.
Banking apps are a bit more problematic, because most people (and probably banks, idk) prefer if you use those not just if you have a smartphone and want to do banking on it, but also as a second factor for when you want to log in on your desktop.
There’s plenty of alternatives (TAN readers, for example), but none as simple or seamless, unfortunately. But bank websites are fully featured (and usually more so than the app, actually).
