Speaking of being an old man, let me tell you:

“The future is now old man” != “The future is now, old man.”

I genuinely tripped over this sentence thanks to the lack of punctuation.

el_abuelo ,

I can’t imagine cheating being a huge problem I’m a game with only 5-10k players that doesn’t have MTX. There’s just no incentive there to buy cheats.

Maybe this is the fix they should do, rather than spend money developing a decent anticheat that they then also won’t maintain. Cus money.

el_abuelo ,

It’s a good thing they included the coin for scale otherwise we might have just assumed this person had Trump sized hands (another completely valid and totally real unit of measure, the greatest unit of all time actually)

el_abuelo ,

That’s the fun part. We’re all broken in some way.

el_abuelo ,

Yes! I got a new error!

el_abuelo ,

Sometimes I even stand up.

el_abuelo ,

That’s not an error though, so maybe that’s what you’re after!

el_abuelo ,

What’s the ableism in the comment? Sincere question because I thought I knew what it was but can’t spot any here so I must be ignorant.

el_abuelo ,

And the good thing is you’ll have plenty of warning because your government is unlikely to join the war against the nazis for a good couple of years into the war against the nazis.

I jest…but kinda not really given current US foreign policy (or that of the past 100yrs tbh)

el_abuelo ,

Are you now a mechanic? If not, why not?

el_abuelo ,

Good scientists will just let you know the potential consequences and let you decide what to do.

Take global warming for example…

el_abuelo ,

Huh? I’ve worked with TypeScript + React for the last 5yrs and the only time I see OOP is when someone’s done something wrong.

Maybe you’re thinking of old react with class based components?

el_abuelo ,

I completely agree. I taught JS/TS for 5yrs and I always emphasised that the ‘class’ keyword was just syntactic sugar for what was already available in prototype inheritance of JS.

el_abuelo ,

Huh that’s interesting…I hate beer, lager and coffee, all everyday adulting things…I wonder if I have this gene.

el_abuelo ,

It tastes really bitter to me. I don’t understand how people can drink it. Tried it black, white, with sugar, without.

Love the smell of coffee beans though. If coffee tasted anything like beans smell I’d be drinking that stuff non stop.

el_abuelo ,

I dislike all coffee flavoured things I’ve ever tried, including ice cream and chocolates.

el_abuelo ,

Oof that’s very closed minded of you.

el_abuelo ,

You are wrong.

This war is also in the interests of Putin.

Putin decided to start the war of aggression.

Putin invaded Ukraine.

Ukraine gave up its nuclear arms on the guarantee of security from Russia. Russia has violated that guarantee by invading them.

Putin can end the war today.

US can not end the war today. Even if it left Ukraine alone, Ukraine would still fight to the end.

EU can not end the war today. See above.

The fastest and easiest way to end the bloodshed is for Russia to withdraw today.

Leaving Ukraine to defend itself wouldn’t even end the bloodshed. After Russia has completed its revised objectives it would invade the entirety of Ukraine under newer revised objectives. Then it would invade other neighbours under other revised objectives. The bloodshed would continue until the USSR is reformed and a new cold war begins.

Those suggesting the only way to end the bloodshed is through capitulation to the aggressor need to study their history better to see that capitulation to the aggressor never stopped an aggressor, it just lead to them going further until stopped.

Imagine if the USA invaded Mexico - no one would be saying Mexico should end the bloodshed. And the USA’s adversaries sure as hell would be doing everything they can to help Mexico.

For those in the back: Putin withdrawing from his war of aggression is the only known way to end the bloodshed today. All other solutions would result in further bloodshed.

el_abuelo ,

Pay walled.

el_abuelo ,

That’s not at all what I meant.

I’m an ml user - just because it seemed okay to me when I first started with Lemmy - and now I learn it’s got a rep for being for tankies etc

If you look through my comment history you’ll see I’m probably just some lefty twit from Europe.

I by no means meant you should tolerate the scum that promote Putin or Pooh Bear’s agenda.

Just don’t assume everyone on .ml is a cunt. Be more open minded and less label driven.

el_abuelo ,

Oof that’s very closed minded of you

el_abuelo ,

Which client? Voyager doesn’t show this AFAIK

el_abuelo ,

Omg thank you!

el_abuelo ,

That is damn funny. I don’t think we have the same thing in the UK as while we have many accents, they are so unique they sound nothing like any foreigner. I guess German accents can sound similar to foreigners speaking German?

el_abuelo ,

More plausible than there being rules around time travel that involve not attending parties? I think not.

el_abuelo ,

I thought in your original reply you were saying the most plausible thing was that there must be no time travel. This reply suggests otherwise, which I agree with.

el_abuelo ,

It’s not stupid if it works

el_abuelo ,

55499345

Why do I still remember this number.

el_abuelo ,

Not to be that guy - just to make sure you nail it perfectly next time - it’s “all your base are belong to us”

el_abuelo ,

No it’s base 10

el_abuelo ,

What did car mode do? Was it when it switched to big old buttons? Mine used to do that until I got Android Auto in my new car…so up until about a year ago

el_abuelo ,

Honestly this is what infuriates me when 2nd amendment enthusiasts say “UK cops should carry guns” - fuck off mate, we de-escalate and use non-lethal way more effectively than your wanker cops who only have a hammer and everything is a nail.

Give your cops a toolkit instead of just a hammer and you’ll see the difference.

el_abuelo ,

Yeah my comment wasn’t intended to be critical of the person I was replying to - it was infact highlighting their point.

American cops don’t tend to use tasers when the suspect is wielding a knife because it’s seen as a lethal weapon, to which they have a lethal response for. Or as another responder replied - the training is the issue, US cops are hardly short of equipment.

el_abuelo ,

Imagine the communal gasps when these folks realise that an entire generation cannot be generalised in such specific ways. There will always be sociopaths - all the while there is the human condition.

el_abuelo ,

To some people in some places Facebook is actually necessary in order to have a social life or run a business.

We all know Facebook would die if it charged for access, because it would lose its ubiquity that makes it necessary for some people.

What would actually be good is if instead of charging for privacy, they charged for enhanced features - similar to how discord charges for Nitro (I am not defending discord, just using their payment model as an example)

The problem with that payment model though is then you have to actually develop features people want to pay for. And we all know Facebook is creatively bankrupt.

el_abuelo ,

They’re essential, but they’re also numerous. The barrier to entry for a lot of these jobs is “went to school for some time” - which means pretty much everyone is qualified.

Supply and demand.

Notice how when service staff were allowed back to work, a lot of them didn’t, and that drove up zone wages.

And to be clear - I am not advocating for below living wages, nor saying that people doing these jobs are unskilled. You can tell the good from the bad, and I think everyone should be paid at least a living wage.

el_abuelo ,

What are you using?

el_abuelo ,

Sixthed

el_abuelo ,

No, because there are no stupid questions.

el_abuelo ,

Ah my sweet summer child…how wonderful it must be to live in your world.

el_abuelo ,

For stellar technology you need to go to SpaceX. You’ve been shopping at the wrong Musk store.

el_abuelo ,

Gosh this was hard to read. Those centipedes really did a number on you huh!

el_abuelo ,

I’d like you to repeat it please. But slower this time.

el_abuelo ,

Why is 2x2 meant to be 1.5x1.5 and not 2x2?

el_abuelo ,

In the first 45 seconds of that video it says we’ve been consuming milk for 10,000 years - and yet you say it’s not ancient?

el_abuelo ,

I meant ancient as in ancient Greeks, not whatever obscure meaning of the word you’re using.

el_abuelo ,

Yeah I get the same impression from the general chatter but no one seems to ever say what’s bad about NordVPN. I find their software pleasing to use, the meshnet functionality saves me some trouble, and the speeds seem to be very high and it’s reliable.

There’s other stuff their marketing material speaks to that people can choose to believe or not, but the above is why I subscribed.

If folks ever shared good, verifiable reasons to not use them I’d certainly look elsewhere.

Also - what’s not practical about Tor? Seems perfectly practical for my purposes.

el_abuelo ,

I trust Nord as much as I trust any VPN that has independent audits of their no-log policy.

And yes Tor is slow, but I dont think that makes in impractical, you’re trading privacy for speed.
