Unless it is a rich Zimbabwean. Then it’s probably them. It’s about purchasing power and ability to buy air fare and cars etc.

It’s very easy to point at and blame others. We can all contribute to solving the problem.

If you can cycle rather than drive to work, the planet thanks you whether you’re in Michigan or Nairobi.

I wouldn’t use SystemState for a boolean. Better to have Enable() or Disable().

The consideration is about what the consumer of that code knows about it. If it knows less about the inner workings and state, it has lower coupling. You can more easily change 1 without changing all the callers of it. Ideally code, especially in object oriented programming should have high cohesion (each class has one purpose and one reason for change) and low coupling.

Most stuff depends but those concepts can guide you. Learning SOLID principles helps to write better code.

Why don’t you support a Linux distro that runs on prehistoric hardware?

It’s very easy to spend other peoples time than offer your own for something you clearly don’t care enough about.

If you missed the comment. Previous kernel version is supported until 2035. That’s 9 more years. You need any longer than that?

Education and understanding. It’s naive to think it solves bugs. You might catch and avoid some but static code analysis does that well too.

A .world user singular, complaining about .ml users plural. I’m complaining about the regular pattern of some users and it is frequent.

This is a regular narrative that all .ml users are tankies so are not worth engaging with and yeah, it is insulting.

You don’t know me and that’s fine. I’m not sure why your recognition of me is relevant? Am I irrelevant if not known? There are 10s of thousands of users on Lemmy. I put time into moderating 2 big communities here for the greater good, but hey, because I’m on this instance, I’m seen as “tankie” scum.

Another day, another .world user complaining about .ml users.

Usually the ones complaining are usually abrasive pro-US imperialist types.

I’m from the UK, so screw Russian and American foreign policy and those that shill for China make me nauseous. I’m on .ml from when .world couldn’t keep their servers up. My main alt died with lemm.ee (RIP).

User on .world account complains about .world moderation.

This isn’t a new problem, folk have been warning about it for a long time on Lemmy. Folk didn’t want to hear it. I personally have zero confidence in their moderation. The cases I saw lacked impartiality and occasionally maturity. There are better instances. .sh.it.works for example.

I cannot imagine an organisation that appointed these moderators/admins would do particularly different on a mastodon server.

Best you can do, is move away from .world so folk see there is more out there to the fediverse than them. All eggs in the .world basket is a scandal waiting to happen.

I hear India and some other Asian countries are very high.

Partial or attempted is part of the definition of genocide. You really should do your research before you start arguing on definitions.

Words don’t mean what you want them to.

This is whatabouttery. I care about Darfur, Myanmar, Tigray, etc. That doesn’t take away from what is happening in Palestine.

You have yet to describe why any of those situations are worse than flattening schools, hospitals, collapse of healthcare, full blockade of food, medical supplies, water, people living in camps where disease is rampant.

How is Iran killing a number of civilians worse than killing civilians, starvation, disease, shooting babies in the head?

All your post is doing, is showing bias, and a lack of care about what is happening there. The problems is you cannot persuade someone to care about human suffering, and if you don’t, why should I engage with you in a logical debate?

Your problem is, you don’t care, and you want people to be fine with you being fine with children being shot in the head. You’re on a left-leaning platform where people give a shit about their fellow man. People who give their time to work on open source generally have empathy as a core view.

Post your pro-Israel views on Xitter, or reddit and you’ll get the validation you prefer. Its an echo chamber close to yoir political persuasion. You enter a place that think differently and prepare to be challenged. Ultimately, if you want to be an empathetic human being, prepare to be wrong. Can you handle that? Your bio suggests you won’t engage if downvoted. I’ve not down voted you, but I’ll tell you you’re wrong. I say you’re wrong because I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt and I’m assuming you’re not evil.

When the pattern of behaviour gives very clear indication of intent, the denial of this indicates that either you’re in favour of it, or don’t think it’s a bad thing.

When what folk see makes them feel sick to their stomach, such as a child being shot in the head, or families being shot in line for food due to a scarcity created by those making the people line up like animals, it’s going to elicit a visceral response. I personally could not fathom how a human being with functioning empathy could be fine with that.

You’ve already stated you like discussing with people of privilege. That I’m alright, Jack attitude when it comes to life and death is pretty disturbing. What makes us feel is what makes us human.

Through pushing through user antagonistic changes completely at odds with users wants and hoping people are pliable enough to forget all about trying to be screwed so you can bide time until the next at attempt to screw users?

Well, that’s the vibe I’m getting from you. I naively assumed open source was based on trust, shared effort and contributions to benefit users so they can install software on their machine that they know is reliable/trustworthy and privacy focussed because anyone can scrutinise it. Silly me.

So they raised a PR with the intention to do this?

Are you saying the only reason they backtracked is because users weren’t happy?

I think originally it was the other way and many distros use a compiler flag to stop it being opt out.

They tried to add in opt out telemetry in. A few forks were created as a result.

Meh. Prefer Tenacity without the enshittification.

You’re not the only one.

I don’t. I just export to PDF if I need them to see formatting the same.

Pick a game engine. Godot is pretty sweet. Get started and follow a tutorial.

Choose whether you want to do 2D games or 3D. If 2D, start learning pixel art. If 3D. Learn 3d modelling software like blender. There is plenty to learn, but you can do it, so just start. Maybe pick a ridiculously small scope project to start and learn.

That’s great to hear. Congratulations on the pay rise. You’ve clearly got valuable, transferable soils.

It is hard to keep detached, as we never truly own it until it’s ours. Good to hear you got free hardware. It’s my favourite price.
