Is There a Way to Officially Disable a Lemmy Account? (feddit.nl)

I would like to know if there is an "official" way to set an account as disabled. For now, I am plan on posting this on Asklemmy, changing my password to some random string that I won't remember, and then logging out. If I'd like to come back later, there's a chance of my account being revived through the "forgot password" process.

I am leaving Lemmy for good. I have spent a few months here, and the first few months were nice and positive. But now it feels much more Reddit-like. Most active communication here is happening at posts that I find negative. All this negative stuff is detoriating my mental health. I'd instead prefer to stay happy and remain ignorant until I personally experience the issues being raised here.

Of course, a lot of people will disagree with this approach, and they are likely already coming up with comments to post on this thread that I'd find rude and thus negative. But I've seriously had enough of it.

I have a heavily filtered Reddit with a home page filled with people like me. The communities they are part of either don't exist on Lemmy or are not sufficiently active. I will be active with these people until the old Reddit front-end reaches EoL. Please prefer to answer the first paragraph over the rest.

PS: please don't judge me by my comments on my profile. I am a teenager and my personality is still maturing. I cringe at most things I do the next day after doing them.

Is that a JoJo reference

Why did they move the comments to the right in c/memes@sopuli.xyz

I don't care about video comments anymore; in my experience it was filled with attention-seeking content and incels trying to look cool. It's also full of bots in the reply sections.

Instead, I use mpv media player to watch YouTube. I pick a video off my recommendations or the subscription page then I copy the video link and then I just have to do mpv in my terminal. It's also much faster on my low-end PC.

It doesn't have sponser-block support, but it does have ad-blocker. I haven't really checked sponser-block support yet either.

Edit: found this for sponser-block support.

I had it made by ChatGPT 3.5, so the theming is not perfect. I don't have the time to mess with this right now.

Variable Declaration in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

[–] myxi@feddit.nl 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I also leave out little syntax errors and only only focus on the rough idea during my train of thoughts. And the variables, aren't really supposed to be implied as private or unused -- I do eventually meaningfully use them. If I have to prefix all my variables with a underscore to avoid the LSP, I might instead just disable the LSP. When I eventually turn the LSP back on, it tells me the actually unused variables and imports that I can now get rid of.

Because of the LSP, I used to write maybe three hundred lines of code per hour, but now I probably average at least five hundred or more.

I turn off LSPs during my train of thoughts. I don't want all red and yellow underline bullshit to disrupt my thoughts. Like, calm the fuck down. I WILL write the correct code eventually; just give me some fucking time.

Well, I use Neovim, so turning off the LSPs or restarting them is sufficiently simple.

When I work on a new project, or on a new feature, I temporarily turn off the LSP, and rely on the compiler to figure out where the code errors. Plain white text gives me the freedom to write whatever the fuck I want without any disruption. Of course, I eventually turn on the LSP again to fix the little issues.

Thanks for note. Do they currently have that backend?

That aside, you might want to try Nim. It's pretty cool. It can compile to C and C++, and JS. There have been browser extensions made with it. Heck, it even has an LLVM backend. And the C code it generates it pretty fast on benchmarks. It's filled with tons of metaprogramming stuff and AST-level macros. And it has this cool thing where it can ignore name casing of identifiers like variables and functions; so isSome == is_some.

I will try porting this project to Haskell and Coconut later. I am currently doing a rewrite of this in Nim.

Oh yeah, I had given that a try, but the installation was too huge. It took like 2 GB. The dependecies were huge as well. But maybe it'd be less on Ubuntu. I will give it a shot again. I heard that language doesn't have loops; I guess you've got to be good with recursion to get good at it lol.

Or maybe people rely on map like function of Python.

This project was interesting. Recently, I've been digging into the functional programming paradigm. This is one of my first tries at it. I've been doing OOP until recently, but this project really was impressive to me. The whole implementation took about nine hours. Functional programming is much less convoluted. I spent more time programming than deciding on a good name for a certain identifier.

Not only is functional programming more efficient, but I can also see that it's much less tedious to write automated tests for. I only have to take care of the local scope of the function I am writing a test for; there is no need to deal with the parent's inherited mess or even any parent's mere state. I just have to write the test for the function.

I have scraped the Cambridge Dictionary to collect the data.

not a fan of that font, but cool setup

Piracy as a quality of service issue in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I agree fully. I basically never download music anymore, because I can get all the music I can think of on Spotify for a few bucks a month.

I recently started music pirating because I listen to a lot of genres and I want to shuffle them. If I use Spotify, I am limited to their shitty shuffler, but if I download my music offline, I can shuffle however I want. My favorite algorithm to shuffle my huge bunch of music is to shuffle them by genre. Now I get to listen to interesting music with full control over the algorithm used.

Also, there are frequent power cuts in my area, so an offline library always proves useful. I also visit places where internet connections are not available.
