Because to a certain extent Python is duck typed. Python has no concept of interfaces, unless you count the abc module combined with manual isinstance() checks, which I’ve never seen anyone do in production. In order to be passed to some function that expects a “file-like object”, it just has to have methods named read(), seek(), and possibly isatty(). The Python philosophy, at least as I see it, is “as long as it has methods named walk() and quack(), it’s close enough to a duck for me to treat it as one”.

Duck typing is distinct from weak type systems, though.

For the last time, Python is not weakly typed. It is dynamically typed. The statement 5 + "hello" results in a type error. Bash is weakly typed, and that same addition results in 5hello

I can think of no more perfect summary of the average Lemming’s slacktivism than the fact that this comment has 4 upvotes while the one below it, which reads simply “fuck drumpf”, has 16

why does konsi have to be such a gigachad

like is there a single thing she hasn’t already done and excelled at

then we’ll happily continue living our respective lives side by side, working together hand in paw for the greater good

i can at least take solace in the fact that brain dead lemmings are 100% bark and 0% bite

I can’t see through the paywall either, but if it’s like any of the hundreds of other articles that have been written on this topic, the answer is probably TikTok

can somebody please remind me why i still have a lemmy account?

by that logic, every citizen of the united states is a fascist, because they could have been mobilizing and weren’t

Elon Musk tweeted “Imagine a new all-powerful woke AI”

i’m honestly not sure which belief is more brain-dead: that anything that is woke is bad, or that all-powerful AI is a credible threat

And “right wing” as defined by someone who calls anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders a fascist…

This is a seriously ironic take coming from someone whose username is a reference to the biggest breach of Linux security in history and the ease with which the trust needed to pull it off was gained

I’m not sure about Click’nLoad or Debrid, but aria2 does all the other things you just listed.

oh there are plenty such. kget, aria2, uget, and motrix off the top of my head. but people use jdownloader for the same reason they use windows – it’s what they know.

the path to idiocracy has been chosen.

I dunno man, seems kinda like saying something negative about the entirety of the human race to me

People are AI generating entire movies which are 24-30 pictures per second.

I don’t think they’re generating those movies in real time.

possibly also mald

As an arch user, if you tell someone who’s never used Linux before to use Arch, I’m taking away your using-Linux privileges. Possibly also your having-kneecaps privileges.

It is real.

You’re right. I could also buy, um… a sandwich.
