I really appreciated him saying ‘I don’t want yes men, I need people to call me on my bullshit, but I’m calling you out on yours’.
I read through the next few replies, and it seems like the anti-rust maintainer just has an axe to grind and can’t stand people working in a language they don’t understand.
I’m fairly left as well, and whenever I brought up strategic voting I was swatted down with “genocide” like the other person. I was event told by multiple “lefty” users that they hoped Trump won just so it would hurt the democratic party and “teach them a lesson”. No matter that we’d be pouring gas on the fire and bringing shit home, they still had to TeAcH tHeM a LeSsOn. Ugh.
The only people who hate leftists more than rightoids are other leftists, and its for shit like that. Moral purity over pragmatism is no different than fanaticism in my eyes. As much as we may hate electoralism, its the only way to work within the system and not let fascists take over. But here we are.
Yet somehow, they’re the darling of the gaming scene.
It’s fucking bizarre.
It’s really not bizarre at all. You wanna know why game enthusiasts like valve? Take the list the other guy gave you and find a store that has close to half of the features steam offers. Add in great hardware support (my controller and my deck are some of the best experiences I’ve had), and a healthy dose of actually making Linux gaming viable for the average person, and it’s obvious AF why game enthusiasts like valve.
Even if they can’t count to 3.
Some of them are outright ridiculous. Like one of the protein cookie brands I like, 80% of the time I have to hulk out and end up ripping the packaging to shreds. We also see it on chip packages and cereal bags at times too. It’s crazy.
Trump will try and purge all non loyalist officers from the military. That could lead to a fracturing of the military.
We should ask what happens when there are a large amount of military trained men that are suddenly let loose and returned to the population, but I can’t think of a single time that’s happened…
52, which is practically middle aged by modern standards.
I don’t mean to be a Debbie downer, but between the climate spiraling and the MAGA Nazis in the White House, I feel in closer to middle age in my 30s than I would closer to my fifties. I’d like to think I’ll live long enough to need my 401k, but I’m not hopeful that I will.
I’ll be done with audible the moment I stop being able to liberate and archive what I pay for.
Until then, they’re helping me build my audiobookshelf
Dropping a link for the lazy/myself for later
Huh, that description of a disassociated childhood sounds a lot like my memories of my childhood, growing up poor with a broken/drug addled family. Definitely would explain a lot…
Good on you for acceling in knowing when you’re wrong, and quickly!
Yeah, but now it’s past the point when republicans care about it, so you can at least try without too much issue.
Look at this person, with their ability to tell what their body needs or when they’re thirsty.
Yeah, at least I understand the bad decision I’m making.
Caveat emptor
I’ve not been upset with any of the Early Access games I’ve purchased, because I make sure to research the game before I buy. Just off the top of my head, factorio, satisfactory, and rimworld are all games that I purchased in early access and made it to full release and were worth a purchase well before release. Hell, even games like Dyson Sphere Program hasn’t been fully released and I’ve gotten more time out of that then multiple full games.
Batman splitting in two every time he sexists another sexist to keep the balance.
We were able to put the emulators on our network drives, so the admins couldn’t revert your change when the ghosted the machine.
My favorite accomplishment from that era was discovering that I could make the single core machines beep themselves to death and sneaking that into the shortcut icon for IE in the ghost image. Man was the IT admin mad about that 🤣
What a shit take. Not all change is good change, and if you think this will be a good change, boy do I have some great ocean front property in Colorado to sell you.
I didn’t forget to eat again, I’m just intermittent fasting.
I think I understand half of that without looking it up
How many teens you think can actually read and understand legacy languages like FORTRAN and COBOL? Let alone a complex codebase written in them?
I studied COBOL a bit in college and it’s not exactly hard to read short snippets if you understand other languages, but good luck wrapping your head around anything remotely complex and actually understand what it is doing without having someone who understands the language. Hell, 15-20 years on and multiple languages later, my eyes still cross trying to read and grok COBOL. The people supporting those old code bases get paid well for a reason …
