Basically I was lured in (or “ideologically groomed”) to fascism, and as people around me started to go more mask-off, I thought I need to leave ASAP or I cross the point of no return. Then I had to learn that conservatism wasn’t about “moderate nationalism” but “power for power sake”. Then I had to learn, that communism wasn’t bad because of the lack of nationalism but due to the authoritarianism part. So first I became an “edgy liberal” to address the “rampant political correctness” of “the left”, then I learned that socialism can be much more than Kádár-era work morals and the secret police torturing people until they admit to horrible crimes.

Former fascist/conservative here, the whole “you will grow out of progressive politics” is both a Reagan-era lifestyle marketing gimmick, and a passive ultimatum saying “you either cease your progressiveness or you won’t live to an old age”.

I have a feeling, that the tech sector has enough kompromat on a lot of important people to keep the bubble from bursting.

There are already a bunch of documented but umimplemented functions in a few Xbox related API, like GameInput.

Old man’s last words on his 256th birthday: “Unhandled IntegerU8OverflowException, terminating application.”

How long until someone uses a LibreOffice Online instance to drop a Google doc on someone?

It’s “Iraq is using PS2s to build ICBMs” all over again…

There’s a lot of astroturfing online in favor of online censorship and inacting online verifications.

That was the age of “if you point out racism, you’re the real racist”.

Read a bit into this. That’s not how teens write.

So that’s why they turned far-right…

Haunted by what? The spectre of communism?

One could just hard-fork Chromium…

If it bursts, that is. I have a fear that people behind AI have grown so savvy of the bubbles, that they have a complicated plan to avoid it, and artificially uphold it with the help of bribed/blackmailed politicians.

I’m personally a black tea fan, it’s just a joke on your average programmer’s caffeine addiction.

Breaking news: Fire is hot.

Then get ready for people just making slop libraries, not because people are dissatisfied with existing solutions (such as I did with iota, which is a direct media layer similar to SDL, but has better access to some low-level functionality + OOP-ish + memory safe lang), but just because they can.

I got a link to a popular rectpacking algorithm pretty quickly after asking in a Discord server. Nowadays I’d be asked to “vibecode it”.

The fan remake is better.

Meanwhile the fr*nch sold our pörkölt as “goulash”, which comes from gulyásleves instead, but it’s a stew, not a soup. At least this didn’t cause issues here, until some morons thought it would be a good idea to copy the English kitchen, so they started to make “minimalist” interpretations of our food, to make it “tastier” and more “high class”. Results: boullions are not replaced with soup but with tap water (please, at least use boullions for any goulash dderivative!), cumin and celery being left out, and the end result is just cheap meat flavored with paprika and salt. “But at least Gordon Ramsey would be proud of me!”
