@deprecated_ii Literally watching My Hero right now 😭😭

So either I'm about to learn why Wayland compositors aren't put together a certain way, or I'm going to find out that modern devs have shitty agendas to push and its never their way or the highway. Guess we'll find out.

It just dawned on me: Life insurance will go away once the families do, kinda like the marriage industry

@dan Rust has a problem where the people that use it want everything written in it. Rust is unclean, difficult syntax - with at least 3 syntactic sugars to do what C and others have exactly one equivalent for. I prefer C, where I can just go and get shit done. C is still rough, but it isn't as bad. Rust is like the rare tongue-clicking Ethiopian language of the programming world with its a'b'b'd<pd>.d's'g'<>.'a'c'd'c<type>.

Just total nonsense.

Because I took it upon myself to build Pigeon Bastard from scratch, I get to avoid all this nonsense entirely, but I'm on board with right to own.

@m62jim There's some stuff they'd have to pay me to learn and not the other way around. I find a lot of apps could've been just some basic JS but the people who wrote them decided they needed a few dozen kitchen sinks loaded into RAM for christ knows what reason

@m62jim Yall can keep your browser code lmao no matter how they dress it up JS and anything JS-based will always be bloat.

Proud to announce my next big endeavor. I want to do some stuff under my own name instead of DeadHill etc. HopperLabs will be doing some neat stuff, like creating a new personality for Windows NT, among other things. Once I have some stuff to show I'll go more in-depth on what's being worked on. Stay tuned!

Teachers: "Violence is never the answer"
Also those same teachers: "We were the good guys in WWII"

@get You have to wonder how long the people at the top can continue playing this game without consequence. People aren't going to put up with mass poverty forever when they know this shit is a relatively recent development. It's all fun and games until the young eat the gerontocracy and their cronies using nothing but bloodshed. You say they have their phones, but what happens when gen X leaves the workforce?

@waff I'll have to look into that, most shit looks like the same rubber garbage at Walmart 😭

@nixCraft I'd prefer it be able to be set cuz I'd have it set to every 6-12 hours.

@nixCraft I'm using GPT to teach me to code, however you have to be strict with it and enforce the socratic method, otherwise it just doesn't work - it generates half-assed code and I find it more productive to learn the theory and do the code stuff myself, just my 2¢

@waff ok ngl those look way better than anything I bought from the store, you bread those yourself?

@waifu here we are
going far

The real battle was C vs Haskell, Rust's effective predecessor. The reason is learnability. C lets you learn concepts at your own pace, whereas Rust enforces many things even some intermediate programmers may struggle with. It's just another flavor of the same problems solved decades ago. Also, LLVM reeeally holds Rust back. This attitude they won't standardize and selfhost is nonsense.

So, right now I'm making an executive decision. For all systems programming, I'm sticking with C. I don't think Rust is going to take over the world. Recent events continually confirm that the leadership in both Rust itself and the popular projects surrounding it are chock full of unstable idiots. At this rate, I suspect C is going nowhere fast, despite governments saying not to use it. This isn't the COBALT situation they think it is.

Looking at Kitboga's Western Amber, you have to wonder if the same model can be used for job interviews. Would love to automate doxxing greedy corpofags on Twitch, and my gen wants to watch this shit burn to the ground anyway.

No, Gen X, I have no obligation to "pay my dues" for a job that used to provide for a wife, kids, and house after grinding for 5-6 years. Now you fags lay us off in two. Quit lying to the kids, we're not having it. "No one wants to work"? It's absolutely a Scooby-Doo mystery.

Fuck you, pay me.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what makes you cheer.
