Wasn’t Go designed to be a memory safe systems programming language? I haven’t really used it enough to see if it holds true, though.

I just picked up some games from Humble Bundle that I’m going to play while waiting for Unicorn Overlord to release. I think I’ll start on Loop Hero first, but some of the other games in the bundle look interesting too.

I’m also struggling with the itch to go back to ER, busy in a similar boat (around the Haligtree entrance, but it’s been around a year and I don’t think I have the chops anymore). I think I’m going to try and hold out until there’s more info on the expansion.

Here’s the synopsis from the site (since it’s a podcast I don’t feel bad posting this here):

In this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we speak with members of Safe Redlands Schools (SRS), a group of antifascist moms who have come together to push back against far-Right and fascist groups attempting to advance an authoritarian agenda in the Southern California area, specifically in local school districts.

During our discussion, we talk about how these groups, which include far-Right street gangs like the Proud Boys, grew out of far-Right conspiracy theories and reaction to COVID-19 lockdowns, pivoting quickly to opposing “Critical Race Theory” and embracing a politics of gender fascism. As far-Right militants set their sites on the schools boards as a new terrain of confrontation, violence erupted at various meetings, with parents and their children often caught in the middle between politicians, out of town grifters, and their followers in violent far-Right organizations.

Members of SRS map out how they have built a network of concerned parents across their region, the wide variety of organizing that they engage in within their communities against the far-Right, and why they made the important decision to openly label themselves as “anti-fascist.”

I did this about a year ago and haven’t looked back. The only thing that’s sometimes a problem is if a game has anti cheat stuff that’s super Windows specific, but I wouldn’t want to run those things anyway.

I’m still slowly working my way through Rogue Trader. It’s a lot of fun, but something about it makes me feel satisfied with a session after around an hour in. It’s slowing down my progress, but probably the only thing not leading to me burning out and never actually finishing the game.

I am getting an itch to play a gag, so I might pause RT, but I’m also afraid I won’t end up coming back to it if I do.

The downside is it makes Google the de facto owner of all of your online information. You could never use a Google product, but because they have such a large market share they’ll essentially force every site and platform to use their solution.

That’s very dismissive of the failures the former ruling party had. It’s hard to drum up votes for the guy considered responsible for tanking your county’s economy and spiking the poverty rate.

Like I agree, him winning is unfortunate and short sighted, but I think blaming the victims isn’t going to do anything other than help asshats like him win.

I think the disconnect here is that others are saying “they aren’t supporting us,” and your response is pretty much “lol, abandon what you’re doing and go back to the corporations.” A totally fair take, but how you’re delivering it comes across as missing their point.

Also “it works on windows” is a terrible rebuttal in a discussion where you first say “it works fine on x11”

What type of client problems have you run into? I’ve only recently started to use it, so I am looking to avoid any pitfalls if I can.

I don’t think you know what a thought piece is. There is no analysis or opinion from the author.

Plus when people share their take on it, you just accuse them of parroting talking points. You have added nothing to this conversation past various forms of “you’re wrong,” with only insults to serve as counter points.

That said, if you want to try to explain to us why you feel a corporation taking away access to something that was bought is fair and just, I’m all ears and more than willing to have the discussion with you that you claim to want.

I’m sure a lot of it comes down to different experiences and generally different points of view, but I’ve found myself disagreeing with pretty much every article from this site I’ve seen so far.

I’m glad to hear it’s turned, but all I was hearing about was racism and transphobia that is at modern Twitter levels.

I heard it was pretty much twitter with even less moderation, but it’s a smaller so you’re slightly less likely to run into open neo nazis, but only slightly. I only have hearsay to go on, as it never really interested me, but most of the people I know that went to it have stayed.

Honestly, I don’t think more of the same is going to help you feel less burned out. Obviously your couple of sentences doesn’t give me a lot of insight into your life, but you do not seem to enjoy your job, and that is going to color your whole perception on anything related to it. I think I’d honestly recommend you start looking for work you actually enjoy, but if that isn’t possible I recommend unplugging as much as possible for awhile. That’s the only way I’ve ever had the spark come back for me. Starting side projects always lose their luster after a session or two and just started to feel like another source of stress for me.

I don't see how saying things failing to live up to their promises and helping a mere fraction of the people claimed is. And I can't speak to marketing, but I can to software development and it really is not having the impact claimed, at least in my professional network.

The hype cycle. And just like how even a reasonable read on the supposed benefits are going to leave most people very disappointed when it happens. And I'm glad you're one of the people that have found a good use for LLMs, but you're in the vocal minority, as far as I can tell

I don't even think that it's so much a lack of decency in most people, so much as the capitalist society we live in that falsely promotes the idea that it's a zero sum game and that inherently drives people into a crab mentality.

I believed that like 5 years ago, when S42 was "releasing next year!" Wish I could get my money back.

The ACLU tends to rabidly support anything that labels itself as free speech, even if it actually stifles it. Most importantly, to me, their continued support for Citizens United.

But maybe that’s the only real case and it’s just loomed so large in my mind for the chilling impact “corporations get free speech, and their dollars count as that” has had on the US political landscape.
