You might feel like it’s “everyone”, because you never hear anything the other side has to say.

Au contraire mon frere. I would posit that nobody that gives even a single iota of a shit about politics in this country hasn’t been exposed to what “the other side has to say”. I’d also venture to guess that the number of people who don’t give a single iota of shit about politics in this country that have also heard what “the other side has to say” is far above zero. There have even been studies (since you occasionally pretend to give a fuck about objectivity) confirming that Republicans who watch Fox News know less about Democrats than Democrats know about Republicans.

It’s kind of difficult to not “hear what the other side has to say” when half of your news media spends its time interviewing people on both sides of divisive issues such as “the vaccine question” or “is the earth round”, and the other half of your news media openly roots for and argues for Republican candidates.

I don’t think your message is ever received by anyone who disagrees. My question is what’s the point? This is a waste of electricity.

And you go down the thread posting shit like this. That’s also a waste of electricity. I guess humans are just wasteful. 🤷

Now, tell me, if I’m an outsider with no horse in this race, and no way of objectively measuring the reality by living in the country of question, what should I think?

“Living in the country of question” is not necessary for an objective measurement of reality.

You know, I’ve always loved C and doing my own memory management. I love learning optimization techniques and applying them.

That’s awesome, and honestly who knows what you’ll come up with if you’re given time to follow your passion there. Decades ago SCM was done through CVS and SVN and other pieces of garbage until Linus came out with Git which a main reason that it is so good IMO is its speed. Google Chrome arrived on the scene in a lot of the same way (of course now it’s as bloated a cow as any other browser, but at the time it was faster than anything available).

I don’t think you can blame people for trending away from quality software. Its clearly against the grain.

No definitely not. Electron is basically a creation of idiot middle management who insist that the web app and the app app be the same exact thing and be developed by the same group of understaffed, underpaid, underappreciated developers. So they worked out a framework to make it so they could change something in one place and have it reflected everywhere.

But it’s still as potato as it gets.

I will also never understand how JavaScript development has gotten so complicated with seemingly zero benefits. It takes minutes to do a “frontend build” and the output grows larger all of the time. I bumped into some Angular crap that was hundreds of megabytes somehow, and still AJAX fetched the same info 4x on page load because the “MVCC” or whatever it’s called didn’t even buy them the abstraction of using the same values multiple times on one page…

I have developed personalized tools as part of my job and I chose qt to write them in partially because if a company I work for would ever try to commercialize them, they’d have to either buy qt licenses or open source them.

I cheat a bit though because I use qt through python.

The fact that electron both exists and is one of the most popular cross-platform development frameworks tells you everything you need to know about the current potato’d state of software development.

I agree, and want to add that it could also be that PalWorld is a bigger target because it is kinda like a Mickey Mouse horror film: it runs counter to the brand of Pokemon to have a game where you shoot them with heavy weaponry.

I hate fucking snap. It might be enough to make me switch distros if Ubuntu keeps up with it (which I am sure they intend to).

The continual “you have new snaps” or whatever it was message every time I’m just trying to have a web browser open made me eventually figure out how to install firefox for real on all of my computers.

EDIT: I think you may have convinced me to try out Debian on my next OS installation.

Windows server is notoriously terrible compared to Linux on a server. Most tech people (even those who happily run Windows on their desktops) know this.

The parent’s comment isn’t about “Windows bad” or “this is the year of the Linux desktop” it’s about a group of people cosplaying as tech wizards when they use laughably bad software to run their business because they lack technical expertise.

Why didn’t they just make it a fucking animated movie?

The existing ages system seemed really bad in some of the games I played. You’d have like nuclear warfare while neighboring countries on the same continent hadn’t developed agriculture. I know countries develop at different rates, but like India didn’t have to research and upgrade its way through multiple ages in real life in order to have cities and technology companies.

I find the fifth line a chore

I agree, if you’re putting your internal domain names into the public DNS you do not need a star cert.

I agree that this is a good idea, but I wanted to add that if someone owns a domain already, they can also use that internally without issue.

If you own a domain and use Let’s Encrypt for a star cert, you can have nice, well secured internal applications on your network with trusted certificates.

I’m not usually one for these types of videos but this one had me laughing pretty hard throughout.

FYI the value size pizza is almost always the largest one they have.

I really don’t care man, everyone on the Internet needs sources for things that are pretty commonly known like they don’t also have keyboards.

I honestly almost didn’t bother searching for you this time either. Each thread on the Internet isn’t the beginning of some scientific argument like a lot of randos seem to think. I used to care a little more before I realized just how worthless and stupid providing sourced claims was.

Now I know, you aren’t changing most people’s minds. They’ll still think masks don’t work, that covid is caused by 5g, that the world is flat, etc etc etc.

I’m happy to just know I’m right and whistle along and take the downvotes on the chin because it’s all worthless anyway.

Many claim to want evidence just to give you a homework assignment, and won’t be persuaded a single iota by it.

Thirty seconds of searching yielded this: https://www.delish.com/food-news/a44040735/are-restaurant-sodas-dirty/

man you guys live in some gross areas. im not sure a kid could even reach the nozle in places near me.

You tell yourself whatever you need to, but they’ve done studies and those nozzles were almost always covered in poop bacteria from the people using them, the people “cleaning” them or a combo.
