Hard to say without having used Arch. I just really like Portage. It does some really neat things.

It’s a shame, but unsurprising. Especially with everyone addicted to live service skinner boxes now and a certain someone insisting live services would cease to exist overnight if this went anywhere.

Okay, now build a gigantic coal furnace in the middle before the storm comes.

Would make a better rhyme if you made it “The USA just bombed Iran, paint all the green ones back to tan.” 'Cause then the syllable count matches.

Just lower case “yank” will suffice. That one’s already in use.

Lot of people don’t get that, tho.

Yeah that’s true. I’m mostly talking local tools right now, but low tier sites are always gonna be a problem.

We used to be like this about PNGs once, it’ll pass.

It’s super easy to boycott Ubisoft because they make nothing but trash I don’t want to play. :P

Probably true of MS too, idk.

I assume they’re talking about the idea that tolerance is a social contract, and that people who do not abide by it are not protected by it either. I.e. It is not a contradiction of tolerance to not tolerate intolerance.

Did OP get whooshed…?

If you aren’t a fan of the book, I hear it’s fine. If you are, I hear you should skip it.

My first boss was a “just” guy. Thankfully he was also pro dev, being one himself, but sadly he was completely self-taught. This led to some interesting ideas, such as:

“We should not migrate anything to, or start any new projects in, .net framework 3. We should become the experts in .net framework 2, so people who need .net 2 solutions come to us.”

“Agile means we do less documentation.” (But we were already doing no documentation)

“Why are you guys still making that common functions class library? I just copy a .vb file into every project I work on, that way I can change it to suit the new project.” (This one led to the most amusing compound error I’ve fixed for a fellow dev.)

Good guy, all in all. But frustrating to work for often.

What happened exactly?

More thinking of the ios app store in this case. But they’re also ripping off the osx dock, IMO. :P

I’ve not booted into windows for a few weeks now. It’s been pretty smooth sailing, one horrifically unoptimised game aside.

It’s not about security. Not anymore, anyway. Maybe when Authenticode was first added to windows. Now they just want to scare users into getting everything through their store, because they’re perennially jealous of the shit Apple can get away with.

What`s the censored one about?

No, you`re right.

This looks like a python programmer that is mad they have to write C# Java…
