It has objectively gotten worse. Wages compared to cost of living have stagnated or declined, average height has declined, average age until marriage has increased to nearly 28 (which is usually what happens before things disintegrate) aver

1930s Germany had no democratic tradition so it's unsurprising that a reactionary conservative movement resulted in a dictator. That is absolutely not the case here, our republic is an enormous part of our tradition so it's extrem

We don't do that with other state laws like murder and theft. And different states have different ideas on what those laws should look like too. EDIT: I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you upset about SCOTUS citing common la

Just send it to your node first. This is trivial to get around. Coinbase is for exchanging crypto and dollars not for a wallet, you should never use an exchange for a wallet.

This doesn't ban abortion, it leaves it up to the states. IMO that's the best since people simply aren't going to agree on it. EDIT: Abortion is not in the Constitution in any way, it's not a right.

I really want to like ML but I have some complaints about OCaml in particular: The stdlib is very weak so everyone uses this third party library. That really rubs me the wrong way. All structures share a namespace for their elements which

The US has legitimately gotten worse for the past 50 years. If you talk about why you'll get flagged/banned though. People don't like reality.

There's malware on the AppStore. The review process is completely incapable of catching it.

Online video games are kind of their own thing. I wish normal/local multiplayer games didn't get lumped in.

Yeah I'm not a fan of Rust either. It has some great ideas though. Part of me wants to try writing my own language after I finish my current side project.

I think zig is a little too opinionated.

Just looking at leaked source from Windows and then contributing to Wine has gotten people in trouble before. If Microsoft is willing to play that game it makes sense that it should go both ways.

I'd argue that profile pictures might even make things worse because people get tempted to use pictures of themselves which drags difficult (and completely irrelevant) ideas like race and sexuality into the situation. EDIT (out of quot

Yup. When I hear OpenOffice I think of something professional. When I hear "libreOffice" I think of the Adwattia icon set and gnome crashing because of some broken default.

Reactions are cancer. If you have something to say send a message. EDIT: I can't reply to your other message but having to deal with people editing their messages is awful in any real time chat. Once you send a message it's sent a

I've experimented with this on the pinephone. You can often just get away with leaving TCP connections open while the device is locked (on mine "locked" means something like Android where the device suspends and periodically

Logging and nick registration are both extra services that run ontop of IRC. At one point I extended an IRC server where you could send a list of regex filters. When messages where sent to channels you had joined that matched the filters it

Who's going to babysit the iOS push server? Colloquy already has this and I modified an IRC server to support it but the push server is down so often it's not usable. I'd run the push server myself but Apple requires that I p

Matrix has a lot of nasty issues, I'd argue XMPP is probably the right way forward for small group chats and one to one convos. I personally refuse to use matrix since I still don't feel comfortable self hosting it. For large grou

Where are these jobs where you can write things from scratch? I do that on the weekends for free to recover from all the "jiggle" tickets I get in Jira. My impression is that a trend started in the 90s which has taken over the ind

The Japanese buy and large aren't having sex, so I'd disagree with you that they're a good example of women having lower standards. Their desire for men to have things and a stable life is probably biological and immutable. Y

It's because people in their 20s are living with their parents and don't want to have sex in the park. When I was younger I wanted it badly enough that I did stupid things like that but I can understand why people like me are in a
