SFDC itself is written in Java but uses Javascript-esque APEX for whitelabel development?

yes, I was using the famous example that broke the Fin De Ciele -era snobbery about art and the distinction between artist and artisan to make a point.

my point is that you can’t define it. So you say “should posts about the wheel be included?”

and the answer is if you exclude all things about wheels where do you draw the line? someone creates a new type of ball bearing that revolutionizes manufacturing, but thats not allowed because it’s a wheel? Someone uses a new archeological discovery about an ancient device to invent a modern one? No posts about cars, trains etc? No posts about waterwheel generated activity?

It becomes impossible to police.

So news of an online store doing shady shit constitutes as “tech news” because they run a web site?

So writing “R MUTT 1917” on a urinal and putting it in an art gallery constitutes as “art” just because they said it is?

etc etc

they… do? it’s like the “what is art” debate. the answer is “whatever you want it to mean in that moment and it can be different in the next moment”

anything including and beyond hitting a nut with a rock to open it

I used a site that let’s you follow the same accounts on Masto as you did on Twitter.

if it annoys you to worship him they’ll do it twice as hard.

i signed up at mba.com and it wouldn’t let me use a password because it contained a semicolon which wasn’t on the approved list of special characters, and then - get this - because I tried too many times to create a password - locked me out because I had “too many failed attempts”

I’m fairly techy myself, not the most techy but I can admin a Salesforce instance, write a wordpress plugin from scratch, I can get by in React…

I’ve found migrating from reddit to lemmy frustrating. I still don’t know if I’m doing it “right”. Ive not subscribed to anything, nor tried to track down my old communities on here because it all just seems tedious and needlessly complicated.

Threads is winning over Mastodon because you click a button and it’s Twitter but a different color.
