For anyone still doubting of the contemporary decline, and the looming moroseness.

There comes the undeniable proof that we’re back to the Stone Age!

Yes and it needs to be load bearing. It’s not a claim that its seams are.

When you see the level of cheating and deception: I think they’re Sam Altman-aligned.

Bend the spoon*

* for people who don’t know the ref

Exactly.

It was indeed an attack.

The trains and other public transports to bring these people there were free that day for that specific destination.

Just think of it as a decompression procedure.

That’s all.

Hilarious. It is absolutely a logical défense: our societal order and its relative fairness don’t emerge from the void.

Otherwise a victim defending himself is the same as the person assaulting?

Perpetrator: you just stabbed me OMG!

Victim: you were going to rape and kill me

Perpetrator: sorry that’s just whataboutism and definitely not a logical defence. Your actions can be judged on their own merits, regardless of who presents the arguments.

I never understood how people referred to or understood “whataboutsim”.

I personally understand it not as a diversion but as a critique of the moral higher ground implied by the first accusation. Said differently: keep your own house in order.

I wouldn't disaree on the ergonomics: a powerful but unusable tool is... useless!

Though ignoring all the PL lessons for the sake of "pragmatism" is just plain ignorance.

Rust has a quite solid theory backing. Zig has nothing interesting really: it's "vibe coded" by someone who was doing game dev or something like that.

From a PL Theory perspective, Zig is vibe-coded.

Not sure why people use it.

I was wondering WTF was happening.

This was past month:

   516 + 518*n
   516  n=0  count=4454
  1034  n=1  count=318
  1552  n=2  count=129
  2070  n=3  count=56
  2588  n=4  count=35
  3106  n=5  count=14
  3624  n=6  count=6
  4142  n=7  count=4
  4660  n=8  count=6

Because it’s supposedly open?

The main advantage of PeerTube and alike is that they keep the “professional content creators” and their crappy content away.

Because of their unique monetisation feature.

The Pi compression algorithm is better.
