yeah, I use my laptop as a mobile "console" with ps4 controllers. It's sometimes a PITA to find good games that with controller support and splitscreen, but they do exist

As far as I know they didn't trash their reputation among normal end-users, as long as they don't know or care apple can pull shit like that all day while still raking in money from the "security-conscious" crowd.

C wasn't a mistake. It used to be very popular for a reason. Just like steem locomotives, they served their purpose very well in their time, but the world has moved on.

It's completely their fault either way. They are responsible for the technology they use. This nasty printf()-like way of formatting is a giant footgun though. Apple are not the first ones to fall into this trap.
37.
by melff 5y ago
Yes, but some languages (like my personal favorite Rust) make it practically impossible to happen with their equivalent of printf().

No, Rust for example explicitly disallows this. https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

I think you misunderstand what people the article is referring to. Victims are largely irrelevant, this is about people who (like to/have a tendency to) feel or see themselves as victims.

Is there a name for when person A asks B and B thinks A has fallen victim to the XY probem but A really didn't and has indeed an unusual problem at their hands?

For people who don't mind apple's power over their system, this is great. For me this is just another demonstration of apple's power witch it absolutely shouldn't have and just another reason not to by an iphone

I've tried to explain the difference between SJWs and non-SJWs like three times now. I'm not the one drawing flase equivalencies. You keep conflating SJWs with advocates and people who have concerns not me. > please don't

I never claimed that businesses "exist in a vacuum", and no, it isn't about inclusivity as soon as an employee is hired: The sole reason why businesses hire people is because they have some work on their hands they want to ge

The author doesn't care about that, she wants to bully others into embracing her political/social believes. Assuming she has skills and isn't a risk to companies, just walking away and offering her valuable skills to some oth

"conflating" multiple events/movements is valid in this case because they are just examples for different stages/levels of us vs them mentality. Even if this "conflating" was a problem there is no gas lighting,

Another group of people complaining about another piece of entertainment because they don't want their group(identity) to be just an means to an end for the authors. What's interesting about this?

nah, you don't need a permit for that... you'd just need a computer without a boot chain of trust, too bad those things exist only in museums and landfills nowadays, have fun digging through trash to find your slow-ass 5 year old

I haven't read the Act myself but judging from the information in the article framing this as having a special impact Sex Workers in specific seems odd to me. Talking about the role and responsibilities of platforms, whether we should
