Yes, it's astonishing how socialized autocratic power is, how difficult it is to change the collective mind, when just an idea collectively could throw over a complete system.

.

This. It's a recipe for disaster. I think enough (tech-related) companies have shown now, that they first want to lock you in, and then if they got you, want to bleed you out...

Yeah it's somewhat funny (if nature wouldn't play a big part this time) that history repeats again and again (Reagan I think was one of the sparks of this disinformation crisis due to promoting this kind of late-stage-capitalism that optimized manipulation). Although we have this vast access to information, but I guess it doesn't help, if you're not able to tell (due to reasons discussed) between facts and lies anymore.

Probably... For me it's more about the things that should be obvious, like burning fossil-fuels will extremely likely lead us in a worse state. But it seems that a big percentage of the western population doesn't want to believe facts and logical reasoning anymore and I think this is a very dangerous thing, as we have seen in 1920-1945.

Nah it's also a language matter. People complain about Rusts complexity, meanwhile I complain about everything else in other languages, and am faster than in any other language, not necessarily because writing code is faster, but because I am able to just focus on writing code. I cannot tell that about other languages, because e.g. the packaging system is bad, or configuring an environment, or debugging stuff which a strong type-system would have caught already. Also IDE experience I think is the one thing that keeps me away from dynamic languages. Rust analyzer is so much better than anything else I've tried, and it keeps getting better (e.g. recently it was added to show whether a trait is object safe or not, and why it is not).

Another thing that is often missed when comparing static with dynamic languages is just performance, python heavily relies on stuff written in a system language, as soon as a hot-loop is written in python, things get bad...

I haven't, but everytime I try python I want to quit it so quickly because of the messed up packaging system and more importantly IDE experience (and I don't think unless you are extremely disciplined with type annotations, that you're getting even close to rust-analyzers performance). I enjoy just exploring dependencies with go to definition, and the trust I can have in the type system.

I'm swearing everyday in my job about typescript, which is just javascript with leaky and unnecessary complex type annotations. So yeah I even consider typescript bad (and I doubt that python is better with type-checking).

Yeah package system is a nightmare in python I'm so spoiled if Rust that I find it hard to enjoy another language...

Have you tried Rust?

It's both, and not a contradiction? But I'd say the USA is indeed more progressed with this. Like both sides. They got really intelligent people but a lot of dumb people. Compared to other western societies, more, the toll of slowly erroding education and the split between poor and rich is progressing harder. Same with things like obesity which as we know of research is bad for brain development (rather the food that leads to this).

Username definitely checks out...

Touché

It's kinda sad that we ended up in this political division. It's also sad that increasing hate and and anxiety (and missing education and reasoning) fuels this dumpfire of societal development. That doesn't really increase hope in the future, as stuff like climate change further accelerates this...

There are donations, even of those big corpo (although way to little).

China is better in implementing countermeasures than especially the USA (also looking to the dark future ahead) but if they would take it seriously they would need to do quit a bit more especially driving something like a global CO2-tax, but AFAIK they were the ones blocking such measures (not that other nations are much better). THIS would be effective.

Billionaire is a job? Where can I apply?!

I mean there's already quite some research with psychedelics showing positive results. Expecting RFK to act on facts and science is wishful thinking. We can just be thankful that his twisted mind aligns with science at least in this position.

I guess it depends on the user... I have more problems (if at all possible) configuring and maintaining a windows installation than linux. That's why I ditched it completely, as thankfully the last thing that kept a windows installation on my PC is basically solved by Valve...

Linux Mint maybe? Or Android?

I'd say that is a Nescafé for Mac users

Haha accurate, NixOS is missing.

I'm using a Cafelat Robot.
