To be fair, if your video editor doesn’t support webp in 2026 it has to at least suck a little bit.

Is this a very niche copypasta that I’m unaware of?

Obviously be mad at whoever responded to a request without accept webp in it with a webp or didn’t provide an alternative. Nothing wrong with supporting webp with a fallback

Yeah, they’re all having their shocked pikachu face on when people don’t have babies. If anybody would take a random sample of women and check whether they would have a baby in their position the answer would almost always be no. Now it feels like only people that are dead set on having babies that go for them when the replacement rate needs plenty of people having 3+ to make up for single kid and people who struggle making one or can’t find a partner.

So to fix it we only need better economy, minimum wage, median wage, housing affordability, generous parental leave, day care and kindergarten heavily subsidised, schooling subsidised up to uni and 30h week with unpaid overtime illegal. I really don’t see this happening with increasing pension and healthcare cost for the elderly.

That’s a valid reason and all but I’d also add that life is just very expensive, both parents need to work to make ends meet and lack of time available for child care. If you add housework imbalance you get South Korea level fertility.

There is a pent up demand for kids when looking at “How many do you want?” vs “How many do you have?” but having them is irrational for most people. It takes a long while for parents to become financially secure, usually comes at 30+ years and then you ask one of the parents to take a massive career hit and add 3h of work per day to the schedule.

If the gov really wants babies we really need to reduce work hours to 30/week for both parents.

I mean, gdscript in godot is very nice and convenient. It offloads a lot of the heavy labor to the engine already and is very well optimised. If you need more speed and type safety C# is the logical next step. C# is very convenient and easy to pick up if you already know Typescript for being a strict language.

Also the guy’s criticism of C++ is basically that nothing is bundled in and keeping libraries compatible with each other is a PhD level activity. The packages are also allowed to fuck with your code with macros, preprocessing directives etc. on top of being written in a non-compatible standard where they only provide a compiled binary with an ABI instead of giving you the source. Updating dependencies becomes a massive pain also because of the same reason since it can so easily break everything without any reasonable stack trace. You might say “Ok whatever, I’ll just preprocess my C++ and rename all by variables” but dependencies can also break other dependencies with macros so there’s no escape. One dep updates, another one breaks in an 100% unrelated part of the program.

But for a reasonably sized project where C++ dependencies are already handled by Godot it’s not that bad. Especially if you’re the only developer or have at least good codebase standards on what parts of C++ you will use. I’ve personally not had any issues programming in C++ but that’s probably because I’ve never done anything at any scale whatsoever.

I don’t have a strong opinion on lower level languages since I work in garbage collected languages but I’ve heard good things about Zig, heard Rust in slow-mo development with a steep learning curve but very robust, C is nice and simple but lacks modern features.

TL;DR C++ devs would kill to get something like cargo in Rust, not because it’s a package manager but because it’s a standard for sharing code and managing compatability. If that’s not an issue for you C++ is a solid language like any other.

This post was written by average red team enjoyer. Reds haven’t won anything since antiquity because they’re so inferior to Blue/Green. Even smooth brain green team supporters know this.

I watched an hour long video on why C++ sucks. I thought it wouldn’t be too hard to pick up since I can program well in probably 7 languages. I was wrong, now I’m convinced C++ is a dumpster fire and needs to die and I’ll never get a job in it unless someone holds a gun to my kid.

Skill issue

You need to introduce your partner to spoons.

It really depends on the country I’ve been to latin America and most people there have doors on their cabinets from what I’ve seen. Wood and labor there come pretty cheap. We’d need to get a good idea of an average house in India and China to make an educated guess.

One thing I’m pretty sure about is that there are more wheels being created now than doors.

Nick at The Linux Experiment posted a video today on Ubuntu Touch 30 day trial he did. It’s come a really long way and is in the “usable” category now.

I see your wheel argument but want to add cabinet/closet doors to muddy the waters. My non-representative bathroom has 6 doors and no wheels. Then there are developing countries that often don’t have wheels on their drawers and doors and rely on hinges more.

I started because I heard it’s good for programming which turned out to be true. Initially stayed because it was customizable but had windows for games. Now just Linux because it’s better for everything I do. I think now people switching to Linux mostly do it because Linux is just better except for niche programs.

Meanwhile I have a riced setup with programmer dvorak keyboard layout and shortcut heavy interaction which makes my computer almost unusable to normies.

Not debating religion good/bad, just pointing out a counterexample. I’m also an atheist.

Absolutely yeah: freedom of practicing one’s own religion and congregate.

Absolutely no: crusades. Everything between is gray area, some almost black, almost white.

P.S. Quran is surprisingly accepting of christians since they accept jesus as a prophet, but not the son of god/is actually god stuff.

Atheists, like me, have been very oppressed throughout history and it’s still illegal to be atheist in a bunch of places. You should absolutely be allowed to make fun of everyone of course and everyone should be given the benefit of the doubt. It’s just specifically this case of burning the Quran that can’t be considered anything else than being intentionally hostile towards muslims.

I think you’re missing the point. It’s never about just burning something. If the person would have burned the quran at home and people later found out and reported it it’s not going to be a legal issue.

It’s more a question of whether this counts as hate speech type action directly targeted at a group protected from discrimination such as lgbt, religion, race and whatnot. If I’m being honest, I think people shouldn’t be allowed to do this on stage in front of an audience while live streaming and I’m not sure where I’d draw the line either.

I think most people would agree that doing a fake hanging of doll that looks like a black guy on stage shouldn’t be allowed, or doing “Let’s burn the muslim” burning of a doll. That’s people doing whatever they want with their own property that is a dead object also. It’s not per se about burning the object, it’s about being hateful towards a minority on purpose.
