  • If those people are marginalised why not make organisations that help them get into programming?

    When you think about stereotypical programmers, you usually picture a white guy somewhere between 30 and 50 years of age (at least in Europe and I presume the USA). Coding used to be a profession that was predominantly made up of women but when it became clear that it would become an important job more and more men became interested in IT so that now there are about eight male programmers out of ten.

    Black people have similar issues (and god forbid you are a black woman) in that they often are paid worse for the same jobs than white people and have worse chances to get good secondary education and academic jobs even if they have the same intelligence as white people. Helping people to get into computer sciences that statistically have way lower chances to do so without any fault of their own is a good thing in my opinion.

  • Equus is latin but the rest are greek from what I can tell

  • Larian Studios who made Baldur's Gate 3 could technichally be called an Indie dev despite the big budget and employee count. The company is privately owned by its founder and the games are self published.

  • It wasn't metadata it was an entirely optional recovery email address that he used for his apple account.

  • Our old town hall was originally built in the 15th century but it is kind of a ship of Theseus situation as the oldest parts were destroyed in WWII.

  • NPD or "die Heimat" would work for you, right? Since you seem like you would like the slogan "Deutschland den Deutschen".

  • In the minds of most people it is, because for them it's just factored in the cost of their Computer.

  • They have an irrational hateboner for anything AI related

  • I will go and shoot the next dog I see. You won't judge me for that, right?

  • At the danger of sounding like a tankie, have you looked at politics subs on reddit ir even just the average headline when China does anything at all? I've regularly seen people advocating for nuclear strikes against chinese metropolises because "If the Chinese were against their government they would have already rebelled, so they are complicit in everything their leaders do" and the articles that go like "China Has Found A Cure To Cancer; But At what cost?" (slightly exaggerated but probably something we would see if a cure to cancer really was invented in China)

  • German coders usually have lower salaries for the same jobs than US American coders. Workers rights are generally better here though.

  • I only go on YouTube about once a month and I use it exclusively with either Newpipe or heavily modified on my PC. I mostly use it to watch trailers of games I am interested in, so I think that I would not be really affected.

  • So you're saying that you would condemn the killing of Donald Trump if he gets into power and enacts his dictature?

  • Did you try KISS launcher? If yes, what did you like more about Kvaesitso that you use it instead?

  • Sometimes I wish that I could downvote content from my instance.

  • You can get Aurora store from fdroid which lets you download apps without having a google account.

  • I hate projects with a long deadline because I start them way too late and then just do bad work in my rush to get at least something I can show off.

    When I had to write a report on a school mandated internship I started a few days before the deadline and still had nothing when the time came to send it to the teacher. After he extended the deadline for me I still didn't manage to finish it on time. I really hate doing projects with a deadline of over a week. I still am currently procrastinating on a presentation and a seminar paper not sure if that is the correct translation that I have to present this friday and next thursday respectively but I have absolutely no clue how not to fall into suicidal ideation when thinking of them.

  • What are you talking about? I have ADHD and when I get into any crisis (usually they appear due to me procrastinating or not getting in the right mindset to do stuff correctly) I just get nervous and depressed. I absolutely don't get more productive in stressful situations, either I just lock up and try to ignore it until it inevitably bites me in the ass or I try to do it last minute after putting it off for as long as possible and do a shitty rush job.

    But maybe that's just me getting the bad aspects of ADHD and Autism without most of the ones seen as more positive since I am also neither orderly nor able to form routines, things that are stereotypical of autistic people.

  • The US doesn't let its war criminals get tried in the Hague that's only for the suckers.
