I really appreciated him saying ‘I don’t want yes men, I need people to call me on my bullshit, but I’m calling you out on yours’.

I read through the next few replies, and it seems like the anti-rust maintainer just has an axe to grind and can’t stand people working in a language they don’t understand.

I’m fairly left as well, and whenever I brought up strategic voting I was swatted down with “genocide” like the other person. I was event told by multiple “lefty” users that they hoped Trump won just so it would hurt the democratic party and “teach them a lesson”. No matter that we’d be pouring gas on the fire and bringing shit home, they still had to TeAcH tHeM a LeSsOn. Ugh.

The only people who hate leftists more than rightoids are other leftists, and its for shit like that. Moral purity over pragmatism is no different than fanaticism in my eyes. As much as we may hate electoralism, its the only way to work within the system and not let fascists take over. But here we are.

Yet somehow, they’re the darling of the gaming scene.

It’s fucking bizarre.

It’s really not bizarre at all. You wanna know why game enthusiasts like valve? Take the list the other guy gave you and find a store that has close to half of the features steam offers. Add in great hardware support (my controller and my deck are some of the best experiences I’ve had), and a healthy dose of actually making Linux gaming viable for the average person, and it’s obvious AF why game enthusiasts like valve.

Even if they can’t count to 3.

Trump will try and purge all non loyalist officers from the military. That could lead to a fracturing of the military.

We should ask what happens when there are a large amount of military trained men that are suddenly let loose and returned to the population, but I can’t think of a single time that’s happened…

I’ll be done with audible the moment I stop being able to liberate and archive what I pay for.

Until then, they’re helping me build my audiobookshelf

Batman splitting in two every time he sexists another sexist to keep the balance.

I’m amazed there’s any trust left at all

What a shit take. Not all change is good change, and if you think this will be a good change, boy do I have some great ocean front property in Colorado to sell you.

Is New York going to stop sending money to the fed in response?

Lol no, Adams has taint to lick in appreciation.

Maybe your employer is better than mine, but I’ve never had a policy provided that was more than a year or two of salary. Not exactly ‘living comfortably’ when she’s have to figure out how to go from a stay at home mom to making what I make a decade into my career…

Ah, “cursive”, where half of the letters aren’t actually cursive, and a quarter of the rest actually resemble the actual letter it’s supposed to be.

I hate reading my handwriting.

I have to comment my code because otherwise I have no idea wth I was writing 6mo ago.

Like, I recently had to update a script I wrote 2 years ago and had thought 'this is self explanatory, I don’t need to comment it’s only to have me come back and have to walk the code to figure out I forgot to include an edge case that hadn’t occurred yet …

The brown ring

Wasn’t trying to sound like I disagreed with your point, more just reiterating how stupid it is.

And yeah, I’ve seen that a lot with Indian offshores. One guy is like that, and the other vacillates between competent/does not need direction and asking for clarification on shit he’s done previously.

I stand by my original statement.

I posted this in response to another person, but I disagree with your interpretation since this isn’t the first time they’ve had these kinds of issues and their behavior doesn’t line up with that interpretation in my mind.

Nah, Shopify is trash

Shopify’s Acceptable Use Policy says users can’t do anything illegal where they conduct business, or promote or threaten violence. Previous versions of its policy banned “hateful content,” according to archives available on the Wayback Machine, but the clause appears to have been removed in July 2024, based on cached versions of the page reviewed by Bloomberg.

They have had a decent history of shit like this, and between the update to the AUP, not commenting on shithead stores, and not patrolling their store for this kind of content, I’m unwilling to give them any benefit of the doubt.

Nazi shit should be taken down. Anyone that needs an explanation about why it should or should not be removed has missed the train.

I think you’re misunderstanding the complaint here. People aren’t upset because Shopify isn’t putting a statement about why they’re removing it, people are upset because they are behaving as if the only reason it got taken down was public pressure, not an actual complaint about the content.

That is why I say Shopify is a Nazi company. And I stand by that.

Japan’s defamation/libel laws, similar to this Tesla case China, don’t matter if what you said is true. What matters is that you disrespected the ‘face’ and reputation of those in power.

That is the stupidest fucking idea I have ever heard

I’m sure Russia tried that excuse at one point

Yeah, you’re basically asking for permission to upstage the couple getting married at their own wedding.
