Oh, they can use them alright, limited to the ways they’ve seen. That’s short version, here is a longer one:

Well, I don’t have kids flying homemade drones at the park, and highly doubt that, say, devs behind Lutris are in diapers. But what I do have is this: https://lemmy.world/comment/17328375 (browse down to @Lightor comment). That goes along with continuously degrading UI (hello, the marginal user tyranny https://nothinghuman.substack.com/p/the-tyranny-of-the-marginal-user), the fact that Microsoft and Apple are still not sued to the ground with all the bullshit they pull off. These wildly unrelated points all fall in line with my personal feeling and general sentiment that percentage of people who know some very basic things about computers is going down. Don’t give me that “I don’t see it in my surroundings, so that’s not happening” shit

Yeah. Sure. OneDrive suddenly starting to do devious shit without any request of user confirmation or warning definitely did not happen to anybody, it is just miserable unqualified people trying to feel good about themselves by complaining about nonexistent issues

You know what? That “rest of you” does a good thing by having “stopped responding to these threads”. Do keep this noble tradition

This is such a pile of cheap elitism. So, the very need to figure out how to remove what you didn’t ask for does not bother your club of computer geniuses?

You asked for it, smart ass

I saved a screenshot of this to post when it happens, if you give your permission

No, it just so happens I have a minute to talk about our lord and saviour JS. What is His holy and sacred mission?

Of course. Nothing beats JS, oh guru mighty guru

Meanwhile IntelliJ: let’s copycat VSCodium UI

Yeah. Trust me on this, bro

I can’t comprehend why you are getting downvoted, please take my upvote

Speaking broadly, humans are very much capable of living without purpose, but that needs a stable ground and very balanced system - something that mostly does not taken care of, but that cannot mean to belittle what you are doing - the way you live, it is better than what so many people are doing with their lives (and in many ways much wiser), and I am glad you found the strength and willingness to live as you do. Thank you for living like this

So, all you’ve mustered is some lame-ass whataboutism? Have a good day

It really is not. But I don’t mind watching you try :)

Aand what is your point?

Doesn’t make sense. I know I am not a game or movie, but realising “I am not this body and not this mind” is something that doesn’t happen to most people

Nah, that’s a road to hell. I will always know this “meaning” is my creation. So either I won’t take it seriously or force myself to become dumb enough to believe my own fairy tales

Scanned the article: neither mission, nor purpose, nor type coercion unga-bunga explained. Or was I expected to see the greatness of the language and be humbled by its glory and might?

Hear me out:

“11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “11” (did not find “-1” in "11)

Or

“11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “1” (removed first “1”)

Lol. In a dynamically typed language? I will do this always, that’s why I am using it

So, you will not?

Yeah. I like that
