Ye, the medical thing concerns me. NZ has a national health record system that let’s you register a primary emergency contact. From everything I’ve read, that, coupled with the fact that we’re in a defacto relationship should be enough to prevent that being an issue. I hope that stays untested

I’m in NZ. Theoretically we’re listed as each other’s primary emergency contacts, so that shouldn’t be an issue. I just hope we never have to find out.

As for children, property etc. NZ has this idea of a defacto relationship, which you can enter into either by living together for 2 years, or by having a child together. It offers the same protections that marriage does. I think it gets a bit greyer if you just have a child together, but living together for 2 years is as good as a marriage in this regard.

Where it matters the most is if one of us passes away, but that can be negated through a will.

It could matter if we ever decided to move out of the country, but I don’t see us doing that in a hurry. We’ll cross that bridge if we ever get to it

Estate can be managed by having a good will drawn up, and in NZ there is no distinction between a married couple and a defacto relationship (living together for >2 years) when it comes to separations and property.

Marriage is a big ceremony where you declare that this person is now your family in front of the people most important to you. From that angle I’m on board.

Where I’m out is that you have to register that with the govt. I HATE that. I’m in a het relationship, and gay marriage is legal here, so I have no idea why that irks me so much, but it’s like, who the fuck are they to tell me my marriage isn’t real because it’s not registered with them?

Here there aren’t even any good tax benefits, so I really don’t see the point.

We’ll probably have a ceremony, but it won’t be a legal marriage.

“but you can call me the fediverse chick guy/person”

Huh, that’s not what I get:

It’s looking like it’s going to be a good year for gaming.

Games I’m looking forward to:

Subnautica 2 The Outer Worlds 2 Death Stranding 2 (possibly. I’ll wait for reviews) GTA 6 (Assuming there is an offline, kernal DRM free mode) Solarpunk Paralives

Has there been an r/place since 2023’s epic FUCK SPEZ?

re: The warning/grammer checking system.

What you’re describing is called a linter, and they’ve existed for ages.

The only way I can really think of to improve them would be to give them a full understanding of your codebase as a whole, which would require a deeper understanding than current gen AI is capable of. There might be some marginal improvements possible with current gen, but it’s not going to be groundbreaking.

What I have found AI very useful for is basic repetitive stuff that isn’t easily automated in other ways or that I simply can’t be bothered to write again. eg: “Given this data model, generate a validated CRUD form” or “write a bash script that renames all the files in a folder to follow this pattern”

You still need to check what it produces though because it will happily hallucinate parameters that don’t exist, or entire validation libraries that don’t exist, but it’s usually close enough to be used as a starting point.

I mean, yeah! They didn’t sign up for this shit!

Unfortunately that’s not going to happen. They’re something people have become accustomed and addicted to. There’s no going back now. The only hope for combating them is to come up with something at least as compelling, but hopefully less harmful. Like vaping is to smoking. What that is though, I have no idea.

Ha ha ha, ye, practical it is not! In my defense, it started as trying to solve a real problem I was having. The keyboard doesn’t have a capslock/numlock indicator, so I had the idea of using the backlight as an indicator.

Got that running, but I was having fun so I decided to make a little snake game

Showed that to a friend who made the usual joke of “ok yeah, but what about doom?”

I knew it was going to be unplayable, but I’ve never actually put doom onto something weird before and it felt like a rite of passage, so I thought why not. It was surprisingly easy! Only took an hour or so thanks to doomgeneric

I got Doom running on my RGB keyboard

And this is why I went back to an iPod classic

C) All of the above.

I hope it will be considered insane that we pump livestock full of them as a preventative measure, rather than as a treatment, while also prescribing them for every little thing.

When our current antibiotics are no longer effective at all, I hope that we’ll be able to find new ones and that we’ll be much more responsible with their use. I hope that people in the future will be as incredulous at our current use of them, as we are of using arsenic in makeup.

Well, the food thing is weird. Who gets jealous about tasting someone else’s food?

As for the bed thing, if he got under the covers, at 16, ye that’s kinda weird, and I could understand not being comfortable with that. If he was just sitting on it, then no, I think that’s fine, and she’s being uber jealous. If it’s the latter then I’d say ye, it’s a red flag
