I actually went back to Reddit. Even as a left-wing follower, I couldn't take the heavy bias of the community. The echo chamber is just too loud. They are convinced communism is flawless, and whenever it becomes flawed, it is the right's fault. I can't deal with absolutes, I'd rather be dead than radicalized by an ideology.
For some reason Lemmy won't let me remove my account so I just login once a day to see if it is already gone.
I think the problem goes like this:
they enslaved black people.
black people gained freedom. A lot of white people who were rich at their expense hated them for their freedom. They also saw them as inferior humans. This hate was passed through generations.
the CIA started a drug abuse pandemic in black communities intentionally.
black people were poor compared to white people. Being hated reduced their opportunities.
poverty and drug trafficking leads to higher crime rates.
a higher crime rate leads to more discrimination and less opportunities.
go back to step 4. It becomes a cycle.
So these people either hate them because their cultural heritage (which seems likely for Alabama) or because the black community has a higher rate of violence, which is also the fault of white people.
So you never intended to buy the product but you intended to use it?
Do you understand they are charging you for the usage, not for your intentions or moral views?
The Danny DeVito one got me the first time.
When they think it is morally correct, yeha. When they think piracy is morally correct and ethical, they are basically disregarding private property and private incentive. They think it is their right to have free access to information that others worked to create.
I wouldn't have a problem if they accepted they are basically stealing, at least I'd respect that, but they won't. They think piracy is freeing society from capitalism. If you don't believe me, keep reading the posts in this community.
My problem with it is that it gives people too much freedom. They can write the code in very, VERY ugly ways... And they do. It's a language that let's you write a mess pretty easily.
That's really my only complaint. The ugliness happens mainly in:
callback hell. For some reason some people still do callback hell in 2023.
functions as objects. This is pretty neat actually, one of the best things in Javascript, but some people just abuse the hell out of it.
Yeha, those games are kinda like a choreography, you're not totally free to do whatever you want. You're very restricted in what you can do and usually you have 1 or 2 options when you need to react.
Based on your input, you should give Breath of the Wild a try. It's a game in which creativity is the only limit. I didn't enjoy it that much because the combat is too easy, but then I saw what people can do when they get creative. It's really insane. I completed the game playing like a noob, never expected those things to be remotely possible, because nobody tells you what to do. Nobody tells you "here's how you do this insane combo". People just piece the mechanics together. I guess that's the beauty of Nintendo in general
Lol, that was actually pretty coherent.
Use VSCode or PyCharm. It's what most people use anyways.
Give both a try. VSCode is lightweight and a bit more "manual". PyCharm is a full IDE with advanced features but sometimes it can be too much for a small script.
Oh, so you're saying wealth should be equally distributed with workers. That argument is silly... Workers should get paid fairly for their skillset. The US is obviously exploiting people, $7/h is ridiculous... But a package delivery person demanding to become a millionaire because they work for a multi-billion dollar company? What's their skillset? Driving a car and walking with a box on their hands?
Workers should never be exploited, people should get paid a fair amount of money so they can have a good living. The Amazon workers are definetely not getting paid fairly and are physically and mentally abused. But Bezos didn't become a billionaire BECAUSE he exploits people, that's just him being an asshole in general. He would have still been a billionaire if he had paid fair wages and had had happy workers.
So you have package delivery teams, marketing, financial analysts, software developers, data analysists, lawyers.... Should all of them get paid equally?
Should a neurosurgeon working in a small hospital earn less money than a delivery person working in a multi-billion company? THAT seems unfair.
I'm very concerned with this change. What incentive will app developers have to ensure their apps run in Firefox if they know Chrome will force users to see ads and be targeted for marketing?
A Qbit you say? Just a bit but quantum 🤷♂️
