you’re getting gish galloped i think. this other person is just gonna keep pulling you further and further from the actual problem, which is that this problem is not unique to just one state and requires systemic change throughout the nation to fix
they’re agreeing with you and taking it further, i’m pretty sure
no actually. i don’t see how my view that people are all people and the things we do is all in response to the context we grow up in is stupid. so please keep listing places that we have both the potential to improve or to degrade into depending on what actions we take and if we can learn to empathize
I’ve spent a lifetime traveling the united states. i originate from Appalachia. bad and racist judgements come all across the country. any state with the death penalty on the books will eventually do this, and any state that doesn’t have the death penalty on the books has around 30% of people minimum who think it should be. you’re deluding yourself if you don’t think everywhere is like everywhere else just with different ratios of who is around
Missouri isn’t so different from everywhere else
what are you talking about?
Do you… Actually think that’s what the right wing wants to tear down the US to do? Because it isn’t. Not even a little. They want to plunge the world into fire
Yeah which if that’s the argument we’re having… I kinda don’t want to give people that dumb any influence. The fediverse symbol is not a pentagram and if the rainbow giving gay people visibility is somehow wrong, then… Fuck me I guess because I’d rather make gay people comfortable than a bunch of folks who’ve fallen down some manner of christofascist rabbit hole
The weak argument they make is this doesn’t look good at small sizes. Personally I don’t think that constitutes a good enough reason to rebrand the fediverse
I mean… Not YouTube specifically but YouTube is representative of why us programmers are unhappy. The era of feeling like the tech industry and the internet are making the world better is over. All of them media platforms exist to co-opt our social interactions and replace them with ads for microwavable meals. They’re spying on us, and for what? They control major elements of how we live out lives, and WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY EVEN GAIN? A lot of them are going bankrupt because it wasn’t profitable. Their ads are less effective than the oldest forms of advertising. Ultimately, these platforms were about control, not about… Any other stated goal. And us programmer? We got tricked into thinking we were developing platforms to connect people and create a global culture of interconnectedness. Turns out we were building the infrastructure to implement genocide
That really struck a chord. It was probably A Minor
Right? I’ve been training myself to use this one weird browser feature I hardly ever use called “bookmarks.” Shits wild
I had to install a plugin to just close tabs I hadn’t viewed in a while. I’m certainly not going to develop better tab discipline
I’m in a position to call him a groomer. I feel comfortable saying straight up he’s a sex pest. There’s credible allegations all over the place. What I can’t speak to, and I have to implore you to look into, is that many black people in America consider him a cultural appropriator based on his adoption of vernacular and accent that aren’t his own.
There’s people in this thread saying “well then I’m gonna write in a socialist”
This isn’t whataboutism, this is actual existential threat to this country and the stability of all the countries we send our military to. Kamala Harris’ comments on the anti-genocide protest are wholly unacceptable and present the overall message as Pro-HAMAS, which it distinctly isn’t, but we do still have to think about which piece of shit benefits most from writing in someone who cannot win in a first past the post election
You also run into different sets of tools that define an IDE. And especially with language server protocols giving almost any text editor access to the only things that were ever strictly the domain of IDEs, I think it’s safe to say we live in a golden age of being able to write things with as much or as little assistance as you want
We started there of course. The subtlety has far more to do with needing to get clever than with us being clever. Eventually it got to the point where I had to write a python script to reinstall all our .corn antics back on every school machine because the school took to resetting all accessibility dictionaries every night
Ah the olden days of using windows accessibility features to replace “.com” with “.corn”
Zsh has more features and customization options than bash. Fish has a ton of convenience features at the cost of POSIX compatibility (which many view as a good thing)
lol. we torture minorities in our prisons for being impoverished and refuse to prioritize the value of water over the value of oil executive profits. torturing women for daring to try to be equals is single head on our hydra of exploitative torture. it was 160 years since emancipation last year. there are people alive still who had peopl in their life who were owned.
the worst thing about the last ten years that incetivizes people to rupture the system for profit rather than to address the potential for someone to do that because the people holding power would rather rely on precedent than lose a single iota of power
