Oddly specific question

Seems like the eating thing is resolved, I can’t really help you with the decision problems because I struggle with that as well (sometimes if I oscillate between two options I literally roll a dice) but if you feel sad and need to talk you can pm me :)

That’s a pretty good answer tho

No one uses Boolean values anyway and with the amount of resources available on modern systems we can just replace them with integers and we should be fine. This also makes it easier to teach people, as they would learn less different data types.

Yes I’m a software dev :)

Yes, although the definition is not the issue but the false balance is

No, because that depends on perspective and Europe is also not a single country.

Your point is taken, but considering all of this your point becomes narrow, and that’s why it’s important to raise this context in this circumstance.

The perception that Western Europe is “left-wing” globally might oversimplify complex political landscapes and reflect a Eurocentric viewpoint. While Western Europe might lean left relative to some countries, this does not necessarily make it a global standard for left-wing politics. It’s important to recognize that political spectrums are not uniform worldwide, and perspectives on what constitutes “left” or “right” can vary dramatically depending on cultural, social, and economic contexts.

vegans are a relatively minor group

Wanna debunk that real quick. I live in Berlin, every major supermarket has a few sections completely dedicated to vegans. And I’m pretty sure they’ve also become a bit larger in general. Still the minority, but definitely significant by now.

That said, a very small minority is very vocal about it. A lot of people in my circles just live it, and they don’t really care to proclaim it, that’s the difference. And sure a lot of them want people to eat less meat, but no one is gonna get on your ass about it.

Doesn’t really change the jist of what you’re saying of course, just wanna make sure we’re not dragging the whole movement into it.

Sound logic.

Why is Pirate Software a fraud?

I appreciated his take on it. Don’t trust politicians to come up with a good solution, always present the issue when you have a good solution ready. And the solution proposed by that petition was weak at best and outright dangerous for the industry at worst.

If you want to force specificity on buying v getting limited time access, that’s fine, but that’s not what the petition focused on.

If you wanna force devs to plan ahead with huge infrastructure cost to make sure servers will be online for a specific time, this might result in online games being unjustifiable for smaller studios.

If you want to shield independent people hosting unofficial servers to games, now that’s a different conversation that we first need to have to figure it out, before proposing an exact solution through a petition. Mind you this is a more complicated topic, as this gets into licensing and IP law.

And I really don’t think stop killing games is clear on those, and that makes this endeavor a lottery with the entire multiplayer games industry in limbo.

Give me another more precise initiative and I’ll join, but until then I’ll definitely not sign anything. If we change things, we should change them for the better, so let’s do our due diligence first.

At this point I think there is no software dev topic that is somehow not devisive.

I’m pretty sure putting Warframe in D tier is a war crime.

No self awareness whatsoever

Nice

My brain crashed because I thought this text was readable

Hard to know how much he was listening. It’s def a mostly harmless prank so I’m also cool with it, but I wouldn’t say he’s been actively helping people.

What does this prompt mean? Did you use font symbols?

I almost bust out my banjo to this and started playing aggressive bluegrass

Yeah that’s pretty good ngl.

From the trailers it even looks like the story is gonna be super linear and boring. At that point they’d need to rewrite the whole thing. Even the most ambitious studio is gonna have a hard time committing to that.

That sounds like a really dumb design idea. Why make a federating protocol if you still rely on the server? I don’t even get why they did it at all then.

That’s indeed very interesting and peculiar.
