Oh yeah I forgot about the whole “choosing your candidate” piece. You wouldn’t want other parties messing with that…we just vote for a party and the party chooses its leader and can change it whenever they want.

Why do they ask? That seems so weird to me. I have never been asked (by the government) what party I support, and would be outraged if I ever was.

You have to register your political affiliation when getting a driving license?

I find it odd that the three candidates you mentioned were all elected. What’s your point again?

There are no gay people in Russia.

Yeah I’m curious as to whether there’s not merit in taking the imperfect codebase and improving it.

It’s easy to understand when you think most comments are similar to yours and don’t provide any insight as to why this might be a problem.

Maybe you could update your post and share your knowledge and experience with others, so that there are less people in the world who don’t see the problem.

I agree mostly, but forks don’t need to keep the upstream. They can go their own way.

Could they not add HEVC support? Or is there some technical limitation that meant starting from zero was a good idea?

When you say once in a while, are you meaning once every few hundred years? If so then I agree and think we are perfectly on track.

There’s still players, don’t worry.

Everyone seems to want to jump on the neg train but reality is that even games with tiny players numbers can still support multilayer matchmaking

It’s still the 35th most played game on steam.

This response is so weird I can’t quite tell what your point is. Are you suggesting that the Iraqis resisted with small arms fire? Because that’s not the case.

More US citizens die each year in the US from guns than US soldiers died in the entirety of the Iraq war. And it’s not a small difference either - each year 4-5x as many citizens die from gun violence. Not including suicides (which would more than double the number)

So was your post trying to say the small arms resistance in Iraq was effective?

I don’t recall this, do you know which episode it was?

Bodacious

Graciousness? I don’t think that’s the right word…you don’t vote for someone because you’re being gracious, you vote for someone because you think they’ll deliver what you want - or in this case perhaps, the closest person who actually stands a hope in hell of getting elected.

Because that was what the article was about…I actually am a Linux user and fan, folks just misreading the intentions of my post.

I would genuinely love to see it, because I’m stuck on mac hardware to do my job and I really hope one day they get crucified for their anticompetative practices so I can freely choose the OS my business uses.

I’d love to see you run xcode 16 code completion on your superior OS. Send me a link once you’ve uploaded the vid.

How you finding protonmail compared to Gmail? The thing I like about Gmail is I can find shit in my endless history…I also love the calendar integration.

20yrs ago I had to help my comp sci housemate build a website for his module. I was not a CS student.

Some things never change.

Alt: a single pane comic in which a person says to another person: "silicate chemistry is second nature to us geochemists, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the formulas for olivine and one or two feldspars.

The other person says: “and quartz, of course”

The first person replies: “of course.”

The caption to the comic reads “even when they’re trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person’s familiarity with their field”
