Some programming languages are indeed cursed (e.g. JavaScript). But for the most part I agree, it’s what people do with it. But what’s cursed with python is what idioms have become common place.

that is so cursed

And I say that as someone who learnt python as her first language (to be proficient in):

holy shit is this language stupid

Not even the first time tofu has been used, I know it as the key validation scheme “trust on first use”

You spend 2k on the PC instead of 600 for the console, but you save all that by then not having to pay double for internet, 90 bucks for a game and whatever much the licenced peripherals cost

It’s less so the wider tech-industry, as in corporate big tech. But the general open-source community and hacker spaces in particular have a lot of trans and other queer people in it

Most numpy array functions already utilize multiple cores, because they’re optimized and written in C

No, I don’t

yoo, return of the flying aircraft carriers

They’re bringing out the Galactica

It’s tiny in comparison to cosmetic transactions nowadays. Still ridiculous, then as now

Been waiting for them to show up.

So it begins…

Forgejo is a free/open source code hosting site like GitHub or Gitlab. It’s a fork of Gitea, over concerns with management and commercialization. You might know it from Codeberg, which is one of the largest managed instances, but it’s really easy to host your own.

It does, and it’s cheaper and faster to implement. Solar and wind are dirt cheap. Storage has long been the bottleneck, but we’ve made gargantuan progress in scalable battery technology (sodium batteries, for example).

A green grid would also help distribute energy production closer to where people live, and reduce single points of failure. It goes to increase grid resilience and reduce dependence on a few large energy corporations.

Nuclear was a useful technology, and likely safer than coal. But anyone pushing for nuclear (over 100% renewables) nowadays is helping uphold the status quo of centralized energy production in the hands of a a few rich capitalists.

NixOS, probably some extreme bondage

Arch, masturbation

“good news honey, they heard your complaint and renamed it”

Pirate party doesn’t stand in federal elections, Greens are down with genocide, I don’t know what you mean with Labour, but the SPD (social democrats) currently approved more weapons for Israel the day after they fired on UN blue helmets.

There is the Left party, whose general stance is peace and disarmament, but even they won’t condemn Israel.

It’s not great.

To your edit, what would you have me do? I’m asking honestly. At the moment, I’m voting for the most left wing party on the ballot, but even they are lukewarm when it comes to Palestine. There is no party with a pro Palestine stance.

For the EU election there was, and I’ve voted for them. I hate electoralism as much as the next gal, but what can we do as individuals?

And they will get less than a percent of votes and be forgotten. I don’t like it either.

That’s great, I’m sure you’re doing important work! But on the ballot in November there are three options:

• Vote for a party that will continue the genocide.
• Vote for a party that will accelerate and expand the genocide.
• Don’t vote.

Not voting helps boost republicans, low turnout always has. With the broken FPTP system, voting third party is equivalent to not voting.

The Palestinian cause will unfortunately not be won on the ballot anytime soon. I don’t know about you, but for me, the moral satisfaction of not having voted for the Dems is not worth throwing immigrants, gay and trans people, reproductive rights, muslims and other marginalized groups under the bus. And with Project 2025 they’ve made it abundantly clear what’s at stake.

I’m no US citizen, but if I was, I’d vote for Harris in a heartbeat. I’d curse the Dems name for the genocide they’re enabling while doing so. But the lives of queer people and immigrants are more important than my moral satisfaction.

As it stands, I’ll continue going to protests, supporting boycotts and as much as I can for Palestine over here, before I’ll vote for a German party next year that won’t free Palestine either. My government is sadly just as guilty as yours, and just like you I don’t have a viable party with a strong anti-genocide stance. But I’ll not cynically vacate the stage for fascists.
