I’m thinking of ditching it. It’s been pretty awful lately. A lot of the official extensions I relied on have regressed to the point of being useless.

Also, releasing a FLOSS editor and then forcing you to use a proprietary build with telemetry if you want to debug .NET code is the most Microsoft thing ever.

oh shit they went and made the amazon show into a book

save for the few who experienced the interactive documentary known as “stalker shadow of chernobyl”

then you’ll love my fanfic, harry potter and the lost cause

hey have you watched “the man in the high castle” it’s about alternative universe in which the nazis won, can you imagine if that happened, can you imagine if they just took over an entire continent and murdered almost everyone on it and installed a fascist christian ethnostate and went about playing world police for 80 years, that would be real fucked up

Ya got me

I’m not from hexbear and I also think they’re cool

DRY means Do Repeat Yourself, when the alternative is cooking up some awful OOP abstraction

Give zoomers a break. Most people have terminal baby duck syndrome and will sacrifice anything for convenience, regardless of age.

People where I’m from (Montréal) are mostly sympathetic with Ukrainian refugees and willing to spend some effort helping them integrate and make ends meet. I’ve been asked to donate a couple times.

I haven’t heard any hard opinions about the conflict beyond the default Putin bad/hope Ukraine wins stuff and also a lot of comments about how messed up improvised drone warfare is.

All in all the reaction is very similar to when shit goes down in Haiti or Africa for example. Bad shit from far away that people can’t really do anything about, and since we don’t really see ourselves as participants in geopolitics most people just don’t care all that much.

Digital sanity. I do not want any of my tools to constantly beg to be updated.

some context: “pogo” is a brand of frozen corn dogs which is for some reason also a cultural staple

that person is an embarrassment. thinks it’s OK to be a reactionary so long as you pick safe targets. block and move on. or if you absolutely have to punch up or sideways, try to be funny jfc

and hexbear mods this means you too. do better

To clarify, enculé means “someone who gets fucked in the ass” and has its roots in homophobia but nowadays that’s not really part of the intent.

Never figured out what “de ta race” is supposed to mean though. Maybe “you’re a poor representative of your race”?

It’s archaic but I love “raclure de bidet”. Comparing someone to the stuff you would scrape off of a bidet where all sorts of people have washed their taint. Short and loaded with contempt.

“Gibier de potence” is great too. Means “game for the gallow”, with the term “game” using in the hunting sense. Basically someone you think should be executed.

Also “chien sale”, dirty/unclean dog, which for a reason is a stand-in for “asshole”.

It’s an investment, remember

Good point. They didn’t just test the nuclear bomb on Japanese civilians. They also tested napalm.

There is no need to read any books, you have given me the blueprint to always be instantly right.
