It’s like a good C++ that is actually able to replace it. There are lots of places where a good C++ is useful. Like everything that needs low latency and low resource usage.

But it’s not an easy language, so (I’m guessing) people who see everyone loving it but are unable to learn it start to suffer some sort of cognitive dissonance. If it’s too difficult for me to learn, that must be its fault, not mine.

Huh. Time to buy some stock.

I sure fucking hope it’s not 94% for Republicans.

I have been using X11 since 1996, and I never felt that it was very good. Sure, at the start it was better the then state-of-the-art desktop (Windows 95), mostly thanks to Linux, but that advantage went away in 2001 when OS/X was released. And even Windows went past it at some point, perhaps around Windows 7 or 8.

Wayland took a long time to get there, but it definitely is there today.

insane that the bus gets its own lane \s

PHP is Russian. Used to be huge, caused lots of problems, now slowly dwindling away. Its supporters keep saying how it’s still better than the competition.

The person you replied to said that

All fascist ideologies will use the argument of “Protecting the children”

Did they? Did you just make a reverse strawman fallacy?

Rooting for bad people in fiction is a fine way to process that part of your own self with no actual risks or consequences. If doing that turns people bad, then playing role-playing games turns people into satan worshippers.

I miss the time when people realized that fiction, even if possibly metaphoric, is ultimately not real.

Hey don’t blame me. You’re the one who used the A-word in a place filled with OCD nitpickers and in a discussion around CSAM.

Time to close all the fascist schools and put the kids back in factories as Marx intended.

And I’m thinking “hold on, there aren’t 2.7 trillion people here”

I’m not terribly against stealing money from maga dumb idiots with too much money.

It’s not a surprise that this is happening, but the magnitude is. It’s much much worse than you expected.

He probably didn’t actually do it. Russotrolls are evil, not stupid. They want their peons to do what they say.

Fuck, that’s horrible. And this woman consistently manages to drive hundreds of thousands of votes from the Democrat candidate.

Element X is a completely different beast though. Not only is it a successful Rust rewrite, but they also fixed the system architecture of Matrix to improve speeds. They haven’t matched Telegram’s usability though, but they’re close to Signal’s.

Good ol’ Rust Rewrite fixing everything.

I didn’t know we need to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms. Now I do!
