I'm not talking about "liking" it, if you like being around people - there are many ways to do it, unless you live in a mountain cave or something. In any city there are dozens of volunteering groups that would be very happy

You are born out of another human but even they can never understand you fully, they can never experience you fully, they can never know you fully. The problems of parents and kids are all coming from that and are old as time. If even paren

The problem is that people think socialisation is some mandatary thing, like food or air, but the truth is - it is not. We are born alone and we will die alone, there is nothing bad about it, it is just how life is. You can have people arou

Loon looks very cool, I didn't expect something like that to appear at all. Last time I was so excited was about Red a few years ago, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere.

REBOL/Red is very different though, no types and blocks are not executed by default.

You never used lisp-like languages did you?

I'm assuming the website is written in Loon and according to roadmap its version 0.4 and compilation is planned in 0.7. So it demonstrates that the language works, but its not optimised yet.

Thats awesome! Recently I was looking into making apps for my smartwatch that don't exist (like watch display with multiple timezones), and infrastructure to make your own apps is very poor. One thing I wish for is Rust support, since

You can construe what you want, but I don't put my political (or any other views) into unrelated posts and try to conceal/justify it later. My point is not about the views - its still free internet and most of us live in free spee

I like how you call peaceful protests when people throw huge rocks, break city infrastructure and damage property and take 0 accountability for it. And most likely don't pay taxes to fix it up later. How convenient it must be to blame

by mapcars 10mo ago
Yes, its just a piece of metal, are you trying to imply something related with using shrapnel to damage something? Well you can't use email in the same way.

I mean its just an email, a bunch of characters, why get mad about it.

Just my 2 cents: I recently switch from GIMP to Krita, also very good and I find it more intuitive. And VLC is a superb media player, I use it on all platforms for like 10 years, nothing even compares to it.
