I thought EasyAntiCheat didn’t like Linux?

The only thing stopping me from moving to Linux is the fact I want to play Battlefield 6 and Space Marine 2.

Was it? Because I remember how things were in 2012, and that’s not how I remember it. Anita Sarkeesian started her Kickstarter in May of 2012, and thus Gamergate was unofficially born, and 2 years later it was officially born, followed by Brexit, followed by Trump. Technically Anita’s stuff wasn’t what kicked off Gamergate, but the backlash against her primed an audience ready to pounce when Gamergate actually started and took half the internet on the road to fascism.

2012 is the year everything started going downhill. While yes, some social progress was made, it was in 2012 that the seeds of today’s problems were planted, at least on the internet anyway. One could argue that 9/11 and the Patriot Act and massive expansion of executive power contributed heavily as well.

Either way, shit was bad in 2012 as well, we were all just too blind to see it. The only people who actually did see it were pariahs on the internet for years and weren’t listened to because they were 'SJW’s.

It’s a good thing I trusted my instinct on that one. Any MMO with a ‘founders pack’ prior to release is a scam, or if it’s not a scam, it says that the developers have no faith in their product and want your money now while they don’t have to actually deliver anything of note.

The more I think about the late 90s and mid 00s, the less I want to go back to it. What I want is to not know things, not know how horrible things are, because I know things in the 90s and 00s were horrid too, I was just too young to notice.

I’m sure there are some people out there that have nostalgia for 2012 because that’s when they were a child. I remember the massive push for Ron Paul 2012 and how insufferable everyone was.

Only if you’re going by the strict UML definition of composition, which doesn’t really apply here, since the industry has moved on a bit since UML was king.

Either way, you can use DI to do composition in the strictest UML way, provided every single dependency is transient and creates a new instance every single time. Even then though, when most devs talk about composition, they aren’t referring to the strict UML definition.

If you’ve used Dependency Injection before, you’ve used the principle of composition over inheritance. So, if you’ve ever used .Net (C#), Spring Boot (Java) or Laravel (PHP), you’ve likely used it. Modern C++ also has the DI pattern.

Rust and Go force you to use composition and don’t support inheritance at all, so if you’ve used either of those languages, you’ve followed the practice, though Go doesn’t support DI out of the box. Functional languages like Haskell also use composition over inheritance.

all of them?

I’m not sure what you mean? Doing composition over inheritance is considered good practice across the board, regardless of whether it’s frontend or backend.

Always favor composition over inheritance if you can.

“passive consumers of unthought thoughts” is an apt way of putting it. With AI, it’s so easy not to think and have it think for you, even in things that you should really want to think about because it’s entertaining.

For example, I’ve been re-watching Game of Thrones, and I wondered how things would have changed if Joffrey had a father figure in his life that wasn’t Robert, say a teacher in swordsmanship. I could spend a lot of time thinking about how Cersei would see this teacher as a rival and want him dead, whether Robert would protect that teacher because he’s making Joffrey into more of a ‘man’, whether Joffrey being trained as a swordsman would make him braver, and even if everything happened as written up to the Blackwater, would Joffrey find his courage and go out into battle, and ultimately get killed by one of Stannis’ soldiers? What would happen to Sansa?

Or… I could just ask ChatGPT, get a quick answer, and forget all about it.

That’s a wildly optimistic take. ICE will kill you, whether you’re obeying them or not.

Anyone who complains about code not compiling on the first try likely hasn’t been coding for very long. Getting your code to do what you tell it is easy, getting it to do what you want is hard.

Me when I buy a bunch of computer parts because my PC is dying and I know for a fact that the prices for components are only gonna get worse. Nearly £2000 down the drain and that’s not even including the GPU!

I wouldn’t call her entrepreneurially minded. She fully intended just to make a single coat and keep it herself. If she were intending on making it a business, she should have been setting up a Dalmatian farm with the 101 puppies and then mass produce the coats. Inbreeding health defects don’t matter all that much when you’re just gonna be skinning any puppies born within weeks.

I want to enjoy Idiocracy, but there’s this undercurrent of eugenics in there that I’m not ever so fond of…

The exception being Hugh Grant. He went from heart throb in the 90s and 00s to a kind of elderly villain archetype. I wouldn’t call him particularly handsome these days, and while I wouldn’t say he’s aged like milk, he’s certainly not a silver fox.

Despite not being washed up, he’s very good at looking as if he’s washed up.

Nah, angels appear in different forms depending on how high they are in the hierarchy. Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones all look distinctly non-human, and they don’t appear to humans often. Angels, Archangels and Principalities appear to humans quite often, so they all look like humans, just with wings.

Dominions, Virtues and Powers are somewhere inbetween so they look human, but not quite.

Iunno whether you’re judged as having the years not treat you well depends pretty heavily on your career and how well you do as an actress. For example, Maggie Smith definitely aged, but it didn’t matter because her image changed from a beauty when she was younger to a strict and harsh teacher/madam type as she entered her middle age and then to a refined and dignified lady when she was older. The same with Diana Rigg who was a Bond Girl, and is better known now as the Queen of Thorns than she ever was as Tracy Bond.

Being old is not necessarily a problem, it’s what you’re known for. If you’re known exclusively for your beauty when you’re young, and don’t pivot as you age, then you’re gonna have a problem.

Dude must be a vampire or something because in the Bible it says you can eat meat, you just can’t drink the blood, which is why you should drain the blood from any animal you slaughter before consuming the flesh. If we’re going by Christian depictions of angels then I assume we’re going by Christian afterlives and commandments.
