“Manufacturers and tech companies have a bigger role to play”

Yeah Apple is already making the parts junk with the locking but it doesn’t seem to help.

You can’t fit it in Wordle with a hard R

But you CAN fit it without it

Gender neutral pronouns might be pretty huge too, but nobody’s private data is getting hacked because of gendered pronoun use.

I’m no conspiracy theorist, but if I needed to discuss anything legal, I wouldn’t want to do it near a phone. Or a newish car. Or a smart TV…

The list of things that could be listening to us if there’s a vulnerability for the 3 letter agencies to exploit, is ridiculous. And outside of phone and desktop operating systems, few things get regular secrity updates.

I’m seriously considering dropping everything and jumping to Rust because of Cargo.

Well if you’re into game dev, ECS and Rust, there’s like a 99% chance you know of it, but just in case you don’t: We have bevy, now with an extra full-time dev (Alice, who’d been working hard at it for years, I think she’s a bigger contributor than the author himself at this point lol)

I’m not a teacher, and I don’t want to become one tbh.

That said, something like Python is standard, and for good reason IMO. For OOP they usually teach Java here, though I’m not a huge fan. I think Kotlin would be better to teach nowadays. There are other OO languages of course, but I’m of the opinion that after messing around with Python, students should probably use something strongly typed, so that’s JavaScript out - I suppose TypeScript could be used, but IMO it’d be best to keep JS/TS in a web dev specific course.

That’s because C++ is such a high performance language, it gets things done faster

I like the kiosks and haven’t really received lukewarm fries, but the food IS overpriced, isn’t as fast as fast food should be, and quite often they mess up the order too.

Oh definitely

You’re right, I believe the only thing Switzerland mandated (or wants to mandate?) is for projects built FOR the government to be open sourced - and even then, there are exemptions.

Of course, unlike you, I don’t live in Switzerland, so I’m probably not as informed.

More limited, but also less enshittified than Windows.

If you want a good, well-polished experience for certain creative workloads, or even programming, MacOS is great and their Apple Silicon CPUs are excellent.

If you want to do ANY gaming besides WoW (which surprisingly enough has always had great MacOS support) or you can’t stand the lack of configurability, Linux is immediately the superior choice by far.

As always, I think regulated markets are the best - don’t go full planned economy, but don’t let corpos do whatever they want either.

Which is funny because if I’m ever in the market for a NEW car again, I’d gladly pay an extra grand just to not fucking be tracked.

Honestly, having watched it at some point, I’m fairly sure they mean the one that isn’t an old dude with a young latina trophy wife and is straight.

All those husbands are oblivious to a lot of shit, but that one is the absolute most oblivious lol

Your country is crazy.

I get maybe 3-4 spam messages a year and those are all scams, not ads, much less political ads (which I don’t think would even be legal)

I was just making a joke about your username being a distro tbh

It’s Puppy Linux, isn’t it?

Can be handled anonymously but then how much do you trust the server?

It should also be opt-in
