@Franc0Fernand0 Well, some people will use complexity to fool gullible people into thinking they're smart.

@Franc0Fernand0 The only reason to make things complicated is that you're not smart enough to make it simple.

After years of reading and writing code, I find that the dumbest code is the best code. It doesn't matter if it's C#, C++, or Python.
Make your code simple. Don't use complex abstractions or difficult syntactic sugar, and you'll have a codebase that anyone can jump into and quickly add features without introducing bugs (or bugs that are less likely to happen).
This matters more than anything else.

@newstart_2024 "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

Even though this is from an older podcast, Jimmy Carr’s take still hits different:
“The Roman Empire didn’t fall. It became the Church.”
And the British Empire? According to Jimmy, it didn’t collapse either — it simply turned into a bank.
We handed the colonies back with a polite “sorry about that,” then offered to “hold” all their money safely in the City of London.
Roman Empire → Vatican
British Empire → Global financial hub
Empires don’t die. They just rebrand.
Still one of the most provocatively entertaining history takes I’ve heard.
What’s your favourite “history didn’t end, it just changed form” observation?

@AmericaPapaBear I think racism is when you go out of your way to mistreat people who never did anything to you just because you think it matters that their people are different from your people. Doesn't matter if it's because you think they're inferior or superior.

@xo_Bambita @thesigmamindset Only if you want to argue in good faith.

@thesigmamindset Seems like he’s upset that someone isn’t playing a game a specific way with him? There are rules to arguing ? lol

@Rothmus Don't want to be bad but I have to level up lockpicking and stealth...

@rushicrypto It's because smart and competent people don't want those jobs.

@DearS_o_n School should have boundary training class. With scenarios like, door sales, telemarketer, peer pressure, continued pressure after you said no etc...

@hanaamurakami Well. For me the first words today was Sakura trees. Some other things: anime, sumo, go, vending machines, sushi, kimono, rice, carpentry, kei trucks, drifting, tea.

@elonmusk Should it be the other way round?! Only need 40% to pass unless the opposition insists on filibuster.
English

Yes, the “silent” filibuster is an outright corruption of democracy, a denial of the will of a supermajority of the people
The Redheaded libertarian@TRHLofficial
Talking filibuster: literally just the filibuster Silent filibuster: an addendum they made up to avoid uncomfortable votes.

@kadetXx Unless you want to do something advanced you really don't need to learn anything to switch to Linux. If you have any issues, just search solutions as you go.

@benonwine If you don't want to see people eat, why are you in a restaurant?!

@Grump0ldMan @CyberRacheal I have enough games that run without issues, don't need the ones that don't.
English

@CyberRacheal It's simple when I need control, I pick Linux when I need play a game, I pick windows. (When I want to play a game, I don't want to trouble shoot) One day I will no need to pick that will be a great day. We keep getting closer it will be great!

Linux is "free" if your time has no exchange rate.
In terms of cash, yes, it’s 100% free.
No $100 Windows license, no forced subscriptions, and no "Pro" versions.
You can download the most powerful operating systems in the world for the price of a coffee (well, the electricity to download it).
On Windows or Mac, you’re a passenger. On Linux, you’re the mechanic.
If your Wi-Fi driver decides to go on strike after an update, you’re the one who has to open the "hood" (the terminal) and fix it.
You might spend three hours trying to get a specific game or a piece of Adobe software to run because it wasn't built for Linux.
That’s three hours of your life you aren't getting back.
The reason people love it despite the stress is Ownership.
Windows is like a rental apartment where you can't paint the walls, and the landlord (Microsoft) checks in on you constantly to see what you're doing.
Linux is a plot of land where have to build the walls yourself, and the plumbing might leak at first, but nobody is watching you, and you own every single nail.

Is Linux really free, or are we actually paying for it with time, troubleshooting, and stress?

@DearS_o_n Investing, if it's not boring you're most likely doing it wrong.

@OleBeeM @KatieMiller Basically only when you've organized an event and people don't show up.

@KatieMiller I’ve never been anywhere ever and thought “my Lord I wish there were more people here.”

For the first time, almost half of our country’s 30-year-old women are childless. In 1976, it was just 18 percent.
A low birth rate is the number one threat to Western Civilization. Society doesn’t survive without babies.
