Reddit got sold to the corpos. It's a publicly traded company now. That means propaganda is now one of their biggest revenue sources in all likelihood.

I think the best thing to do is just find our own alternative communities. Make our own hangouts. Our own clubs. We can still live life and be happy even if the rest of society is shit. Depending on how this upcoming elections goes. I might go underground. Just disconnect from society. Stop talking to normies outside of business. I will have put in my 35 years of fighting. I don't want to be miserable my entire life. I don't want to argue with people my entire life. Maybe it's just impossible to connect with people who arent like us. That doesn't mean we have to be sad. It doesn't mean we have to be alone. We can make our own spaces. Stay off the grid and under the radar. Have fun and have our own culture with people who like us.

If you want a semi modern looking game, you really should just use godot. There is a minimum amount of complexity which is annoying, but you can use chatGPT to walk through it. This minimum amount of complexity is kind of just necessary. Once you spend a day or so messing around with it, installing some other tools to do things like create textures and export them. You start to understand it and then you appreciate how simple and easy it is to use.

Things like the scene tree might seem annoying at first, but it's the neatest way to really handle memory in a sane way. This is the same reason object oriented programming is how it is. It just makes managing memory easy without the need for garbage collectors and other junk.

In a scene tree, every node has a parent, and perhaps some children. This means when you decide to unload your level, you just remove the parent node and all the nodes that are descended from it get marked to be cleared from memory.

Other complexity like the material system is just needed to have a game that doesn't look like it was made in 2001. The various textures you need for one object are used by the deferred renderer to generate all of its buffers. Compiling these just in time is too slow. They need to be prepared ahead of time.

Using godot just makes everything easier once you learn how to use it. It also makes many of your things reusable. Once you have a good character controller you can just use it in all your projects which are similar. Once you figure out how you want to structure your data, you can just write an API on top of godots built in file IO functions to standardize your data in a way that you prefer. Godot if using the scene tree and node system will manage data for you easily. No memory leaks, no manually allocating pools of memory. No backtracking to make sure you are removing everything. It has built in physics, lighting, post processing, built in support for shaders and effects. It has particle systems, rigid and soft bodies, animations. It has a built in 2d and 3d gridmap system which will automatically batch your stuff into single draw call and greedy mesh them. The gdscript is very simple. It's very loose. You can easily make a game with just gdscript and the built in tools. Even a voxel game.

Other 3D engines can work, but you are going to be very limited compared to what you can do in godot. You will likely have to program at a very low level which is difficult if you aren't using something like a node graph.

He also died because when he was being chased, he refused to run through a bean field, trampling on the beans.

He used to also lecture by dressing like a girl, and sitting behind a curtain so that only his shadow would appear on the curtain. I love stories of ancient trans people. Yes they also believed in silly things sometimes, but they were just as intelligent and creative as we are. They were human in every way that we are today.

Yes I didn't clarify that but I know the history a decent bit. They installed an internationalist far right government and the Iranians overthrew that government, leading to the modern state.

Oh nice I'm far from a professional programmer. Thxs for the explanation.

I like KDE because it doesn't look like it was made in the 1980s but I know many fellow nerds probably like the nostalgia.

I want it so bad but I live in the U.S where these types of phones are forbidden by our corporate/police state.

Maybe its not your brain but you? Why do you remember the bad and forget the good?

Its a horrible law, although there is no punishment, it just normalizes the idea of persecuting and shaming innocent people. The laws are not good when you use them to micromanage your neighbors lives. Laws are supposed to be for taking away the need for violence from society and putting judgment into a transparent and safe and strict process. All this type of stuff just gives the state more power to harm people it doesnt like who are doing nothing actually wrong. Like all laws this will only be selectivly enforced against people the powerful dont like. The reason countries really start to become bad is when you get one group of idiots in power who think they know everything, who think it their role to mold humanity into their idea of right and wrong. People lose their motivation, their creativity, their will to build things, because their life becomes a benign hell of just being a host for elitest parasites. It starts with elitest assholes telling you how you are allowed to spend your free time, and what types of haircuts are acceptable, and what types of books you are allowed to read, mass zurveliience, propganda on every type of media you consume. Silencing disidents. It ends with a society where nobody cares about anything. Nobody wants to work. There isnt anything to buy anyways. Creativity at first and then the good genes in the population just die out. The human race is truely fucked. The greatest filter we have is our complete inability to not abuse innocent people. So many humans just want to control each other. Humans are obsessed with controling each other. Nothing great was ever created by control, only by the florishing of the human spirit and liberty, allowing people to be creative and weird and happy. History so clearly shows this. Religous societies and authoritarian societies are always complete shitholes even for the ones who benifit, like the racialy pure male normative class. The nicest societies are the ones who out liberty above all else. The richest person in a bad country is worse off then the poorest person in a nice country. Money doesnt buy happiness. Money cannot buy you love, not real love, just a simulation of it. Money cannot protect your kids. Money does not give your life meaning. Money usually just ruins you even more then you already were and then you jave to lie and xeluse yourself into thinking you deserve it, to avoid cognitive disonance with the only people who can tolorate you. Too bad people are too dumb to realize this now. People who trade liberty for temporary security, people who trade liberty so they can avoid actually facing any real issues in society, people who trade liberty so they can be comcortable and growntheir 401k, are the worst types of people.
