If you want to do web requests/ use API’s, use ‘requests’

graphs/reporting, I’ve used ‘bokeh’ before, it was nice.

I’ve never used PyDroid, so I’m not sure how you’d install things, but these are both available via pypi, python’s package repository.

I would not have posted this. The long dick of the law makes an echidna’s look normal.

They’d name it Microsoft Windows Deprecation Maker 2024 Enterprise 11 though.

This is Lemmy.

If you want to do all that performative reddit bullshit for attention, go back there and do it. No one will stop you.

This is some text book projection. Maybe talk to a professional about it. And yeah, you probably should stay away from cartoons and kids until you get these repressed urges figured out.

woah, who the fuck is talking about kids?

Some of the oldest porn is cartoons scratched into rocks, get off your golden age of porn high horse, or get off with it if that’s your thing.

I don’t know if that’s a typo, but “cheey” is a delightfully terrible name that I am stealing.

Unless you’ve been DuckTypeCast, in which case you can be anything (this is what happened to Gary Oldman)

What you’ve never put a scissor handled blunt right up your ass before? (Look at the kid top middle in the background)

In the U.S., you can build rockets all day long, they cannot be guided.

You’d have to convince the feds it was never designed to be a weapon. Good luck with that.

Exactly, yes! They were self-limited, and the valar trusted them to be so, which is why Saruman turning evil caught Gandalf super off guard!

LotR magic is interesting. Sauron bred all kinds of monsters essentially “hacking the system” to produce something in a world where no one but Illuvatar can create life, and Melkor got around the whole life/sentience thing by convincing lesser spirits to inhabit this creations. Balrogs, werewolves, etc.

Other creations Melkor imbued with his own vast power, essentially spreading his “divine fire” out amongst his thralls, and thereby diminishing himself. Sauron eventually does the same, in creating the One Ring.

So, when Gandalf became Gandalf, his power to affect things was explicitly limited. , The basic difference between The Istari and Sauron: they did not seek to usurp their position in ‘the song of Illuvatar’. In fact the five Istari (Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast and the other unnamed two) were maiar spirits that had until that point stayed out of Arda (Earth) and all its shenanigans on purpose!

So, the staff served as a badge of office mostly. And thought it never stated, it’s kind of implied that some of their power is imbued within it. This is why Gandalf looks totally different when he comes back as the White, he took Saruman’s job as the head of the order, and had some more of his power unlocked as a result. The main strength of the Istari was their wisdom, knowing how the world worked and to a point, how “the song” was supposed to go. They were trusted to do the job (of taking down Sauron) because they wouldn’t use their knowledge and power to ‘hack the system’.

IMHO, Gandalf needed his staff not as a conduit of power here, but as an emblem of his station: He had to show Grima that his boss had just been fired.

It houses the flame of Anor! Thirty rounds of it!

The “Brick through a widow” bug has been an active exploit since the Model T.

Enabling the PIN mitigates this issue entirely. Can’t drive it away if you don’t know the PIN, even if you have the physical key, fob, or phone.

Death Note at home: Summon Dr pepper can anywhere every 14.5 hours, summon them directly into the brains of my enemies.

Both nostrils work all the time: I’d take this twice if it meant it worked twice as good.

This ad is literally the perfect opposite of their famous Think different ad:

We have an actual gigantic, unfeeling machine, literally crushing an effigy of the sum total of human creativity, only to proudly declare that everyone now needs to do all those things in the same, apple-approved way.

And the real irony is that’s the actual message they’re trying to get across.

Lemmy’s bigger than ever, and that’s a direct consequence of reddit’s enshittification, so there’s that at least.
