I’d be happy with the destruction of copyright and patent laws.

Glad Nvidia has seen the writing on the walls and isn’t treating desktop Linux like a second-class citizen.

What’s funny is Java solved an issue that is pretty much non-existent in today’s environment: compatibility.

It’s much less like the Wild West these days. People have a clearer picture of what to support, how to support it, and generic tools to abstract platform-specific code.

I like Java. I think they did good things and had a pragmatic approach to the problems they were trying to solve.

But time goes on, and this young discipline progresses fast. It’ll be interesting to see decades from now what languages survive and which ones don’t.

I predict as time goes on, we’ll get fewer big languages (popular, widespread, useful, etc.) and they will stick around for much longer.

Kind of like human language, if you think about it.

I don’t really thing the security ‘guarantees’ of rust matter that much.

I think it’s a better language to work in than C or C++, though. That’s not a reason to change utilities now, but a larger Rust ecosystem is always better in my humble opinion.

What for?

Personally, I’m a huge fan in unifying software under one language.

I think that’s fair.

Eventually, the Rust-alternatives will be battle-hardened too and we can simply choose what suits us best.

It’s a good time for software, honestly.

This is the cold, sad truth of Linux.

Unfortunately, when a company does not meet your standards, the solution is not to give them your money. Not to lower your standards.

Most big companies have feedback channels for customers on their websites.

What company are you talking about in particular?

belittle cruelty of terrorism

I’m curious, do you consider the IDF to be terrorists?

Who the fuck downplays a death with other deaths?

It’s just a bit weird to see this death paraded around the internet to condemn Hamas while Israel is killing thousands more.

Kind of makes it seem like “their lives worth less than this teenager’s.”

Where are the individual articles for each person Israel killed? You know what they say, one death is a tragedy, thousands are a statistic.

A lot of it is an instinctual response.

Hearing ‘jews this, jews that’ since birth causes people to want to ‘fit in’ and go along with what everyone else is doing even if they don’t understand it.

I was surprised by how much anti-Semitism existed when I went to high school, because I never experienced it before outside of South Park. For everyone else, it was just normal and understood (even if they didn’t support it.) It really cemented the idea in my mind that most people do things without thinking just to fit in with others.

What the fuck is with these comments.

What comments? Are you trying to manufacture outrage again?

So nice that she was able to travel from Germany to party in Israel.

I wonder what the travel logs for Gazans are like, and why that is.

I hope you fit in.

No, that’s not clear at all.

But you should try to understand the insane excess these partygoers had compared to the squalor that Gazans have to live in.

It makes sense that with such disparity in qualities of life, those who feel they got the short end of the stick fight back against those who have too much.

This entire comment chain, as usual, is just people getting upset at criticizing excess wealth. Pretty much unless it’s a billionaire, you’re not allowed to criticize excess wealth.

The closer we get to the root of the problem, the more people we’ll find that contribute to it and the less we’ll find that are willing to admit it.

I don’t think it was justified.

I’m not missing any line.

That’s just the realities of war.

Who cares?

Just wanna dispel the notion that people only do things for money: you’re posting on Lemmy right now.

I’m not glad he’s dead, but I’m glad he’s gone.

Copyright and patent laws need to die.
