That may be true from your perspective but it was not my intention. If you make a small effort, you might see that you too can misunderstand someone else’s words.

what was the purpose of your statement?

To point out (what I thought was) a needlessly condescending response.

Your statement lacked context.

It did not. I think it was quite clear how I interpreted the comment I replied to. I mean, you got it. Even if you disagreed.

I rely more heavily on context to fill in the gaps in my knowledge

Again, I was not lacking context. Having “context” doesn’t mean that a sentence does not negate the fact that a sentence can still be ambiguous. I think this is perfectly exemplified in this thread.

My point stands. People are way too eager to be aggressive/mock other people when they get the chance instead of considering that the other person might A) just have a different opinion or B) they misunderstood something. When I first started using Lemmy this did not happen so it’s a shame that it seems to be attracting the same crowd that made virtual interaction so unappealing in Reddit.

I really don’t see how “lol” would mean that in this context but ok. Even with the context to me I was more like “idc” or “this isn’t important”. I mean, if they wanted to say “whoops”, they could’ve said “whoops”.

Could I be the one that misinterpreted what they intended to say? Of course, I’m not a native speaker and (being the human that I am) I can make mistakes. However, the general response seems to be more aggressive than communicative, which is one of the reasons why I started to really dislike Reddit and the interactions on that platform.

implying some form of wrongdoing?

Well, it kind of is. It basically equates to saying “whatever” or “who cares” when I’m pretty sure the author of the comic would care. They could’ve just said “my bad, just fixed it” and that’s it. But no, they made the conscious effort to communicate that, even though they fixed it, they don’t really care about it. Which is, in my opinion, kind of a condescending/patronizing/childish/petty/douchey/whateveryouwanttocallit thing to do.

But hey, fuck me, right?

Not really, just that they could have omitted the “lol” to sound a bit less douchey.

“Lol”

For a moment there I thought you were talking about PC.

There’s no joke. People seem to enjoy feeling either superior or outraged or both and the name of the game is user engagement. That’s how you end up with this type of thing.

I was similarly disappointed. This kind of humor isn’t funny at all. It’s just a made up scenario to trigger people. I can’t prove that it’s b8 but, if it’s not, it’s damn close.

I’ve also had to replace phones for broken USB ports which in the grand scale is probably more wasteful than the extra power use.

On one hand, yes, your port can break at some point. On the other, why would you throw away the whole phone if the usb port can be replaced? Going even further, you could always use your usb port for charging until it breaks and after that you could start using wireless charging. For data transfer there are plenty of apps and ways to wirelessly transfer data so that wouldn’t be a problem either. At the end of the day, you’re barely using your usb port and you’re also wasting twice as much (or more) energy that you would if you used a wired charger.

Wired turbo chargers are bad as well. However, although I don’t know about iOS, Android lets you plan your charge cycle. That makes my phone take about 8 hours to charge while I’m asleep.

Or you could just not use a fast charger and not worry about that. Either way, you’re moving the goalpost. Not all phones support fast charging and not everyone has a fast charger. I’d wager most people charge their phones with lower power (15/20w more or less).

I’d be interested to see how you measure that. It’s also not really a matter of opinion. Even though you may not notice a wild difference, your battery did degrade more than it would’ve, if you’d used a wired charger.

Also, the inefficiency is bad enough for me to rule it out. You literally waste at least twice as much power compared to a wired charger (source). Although we’re not talking about a crazy amount of power, it’s pretty selfish to waste it just because you don’t want to plug in a charger.

You do realize that wireless charging is also very inefficent and reduces your battery lifespan, right? It’s also kinda weird that your port goes bad after such a short time. Maybe you should clean it more often and make sure not to put any tension on it when you use it. I even have a 10 year old phone and the port (micro usb) still works perfectly fine.

It’s extremely easy to use and set up. You can also use it for free for up to 5 users I think and it has a lot more configuration options than Tailscale. In my case I didn’t have to change anything at all though, it was basically plug n play.

Not sure about what you mean by “business oriented”. It seemed pretty simple to me.

I prefer ZeroTier but both work.

Maybe, just maybe, the context in which you use regex isn’t the same as everyone elses. But hey, who am I to deny you the disservice of thinking you’re the center of the world?

Maybe for your very specific use case that’s true. However, other use cases exist and for many of those RegEx is the better option.

You’re discussing a completely different use case from what I said. RegEx can be increidbly useful but it’s not always the only/best option.

Not even close. Sometimes you can have a large text file where you need to do a find replace with a pattern. For example, in the translation world this can be a common occurrence for translation files (.xliff) or translation memories (.tmx).

There’s a reason why this is widely used and it’s not because everyone else but you is dumb.

Hard disagree. The function regex serves in programs like Notepad++ can’t be easily replaced by “writing it out in code”. With a very small number of characters you can get complex search patterns and capturing groups. It’s hard to read but incredibly useful.
