not() is a base function that negates what’s inside (turning True to False and vice versa) giving it no parameter returns “True” (because no parameter counts as False)

Actually, not is an operator. It makes more sense if you write not() as not () - the () is an empty tuple. An empty tuple is falsy in Python, so not () evaluates to True.

Oh, really? That’s disappointing to hear; I had no idea he was like that.

Oh hey, it’s the Minecraft guy

Let’s not forget Hitachi

Last I heard they want to switch to another platform, and don’t consider it worth upgrading to 0.19 because they’re leaving soon so it wouldn’t be worth the hassle.

This is pure guesswork on my part, but they could be waiting for Sublinks (a Lemmy-compatible backend) to get up to speed before switching to that. They say that the new platform is “compatible with all Lemmy apps”, and Sublinks is the only project I know of that fits that criteria.

It says “doesn’t use the internet”, not “can’t use the internet”. Whilst the internet has become more accessible over time through the use of screen readers etc, accessibility is unfortunately not considered a priority for many apps and websites. It’s trickier to navigate the web as a blind person because websites are primarily designed to be looked at, not heard. It’s not unreasonable that she might just not want to use it, even though she could learn to.

The first part of the joke is that the image shows “Mitosis” - a process in which a cell splits in two. The word sounds like “my toe, sis”.

The second part of the joke is that the Mitosis diagram vaguely resembles “Loss”, a webcomic. https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
