Well, pre-Trump I would. It’s a heaven for senior software engineers and the healthcare insurance is mostly comparable with what I have in my EU country.

Yeah, my disk’s not even full.

I use Nobara, btw.

So, where are the people who were telling me how it’s a move in the right direction?

Now try the whole GOG catalog.

Ah, we have a senior developer here!

doas mv /usr/bin/doas /usr/bin/sudo

Problem solved!

I’ve seen it all the time like a decade before crypto was a thing.

Pff, I wish my overall taxation was only 30%.

Can’t you refund? Stating that the devs intentionally broke the game for you?

People don’t buy games overflowing with cheaters.

The biggest problem with Rust are its users. They somehow think that having a safe memory access means fewer bugs. While it only means fewer memory management related bugs. Which honestly isn’t even a problem with modern C++.

Yeah, if you hash your passwords with unsalted md5 it’s much more secure in Rust than PHP!

Unless you’re one of the lucky few whose body simply accepts the transplanted organ as its own.

I love these kind of stories because there’s not a single good side!

So, who do you root for? The all-content-stealing machine? Or the companies ran by people who are dead inside and think that lyrics to a song you paid for already should be copyrighted?

Well, I did it this year finally after thinking about it for a decade+.

One of the reasons I did it was to document stuff for future me - if I never need to redo anything I wrote about, I have a perfect manual.

The other reason is to help the community. I sometimes tend to write about fairly obscure things (like creating a Matrix bot with E2EE enabled, or mixing Go and PHP using FFI) that might actually help someone if they search for it.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I ask an AI something that’s not really mainstream knowledge, it sucks so much so I have to search anyway, so tech blogs will always be needed.

Edit: I also took it as an opportunity to learn about ActivityPub, my blog is fully federated and you can read it here on Lemmy if you want. So if you can find some learning opportunity in there, go for it!

The textbook definition is being aggressive without partaking in direct aggression. A simple rule of thumb difference is that with passive aggressive behaviour you can pretend you didn’t know you were aggressive.

Like, if you throw a brick at your neighbour’s window while he’s watching TV - there’s no way you can twist it as meaning anything else. That’s the normal non-passive aggressive and you can’t really pretend you didn’t mean it the way you did it.

If you pour water in the middle of harsh winter in front of their door, that’s passive aggressive - you avoid direct confrontation (unless they happen to see you) but are aggressive towards them. He might suspect it’s you (you threw a brick through his window after all!) but he can’t prove it.

That’s what’s frustrating about passive aggression - everyone in the room (including the passive aggressive person, their target and any bystander) knows what’s going on, but it’s not direct so the aggressor can claim “omg I didn’t mean it that way.”

Congrats!

It you feel like there’s no lying and propaganda on the left, congrats, you’ve fallen for it!

Though it tends to be on the less extreme side. Doesn’t mean there isn’t any.

Why limit it to friends? In my company, we do scope creep for everyone!
