  • Russia gives Ukrainians Russian citizenship and resettles them away from warzone with all the social security preserved: food, medical, shelter etc. Russia murders some Ukrainians and kidnaps others and forces them to toil under their dictatorship to enrich Putin.

    Ftfy.

    Jesus fucking Christ do fucking better. What is wrong with you?

    Oh so you’re the type that sees Hitler invading Poland and thinks “doesn’t effect me”.

    Go volunteer for Putin’s army if you love his propaganda so much.

    Jesus fucking Christ, the fucking idiocy of thinking that Russia unilaterally invading a country is that country’s fault. Thankfully Biden is finally getting lead out of the water which will hopefully prevent this dumbassery in the long term.





  • It’s not about cheapness, it’s about consistency.

    You wanna set up different dev environments and process for every single language you or someone from your team might use? Oh we need documentation and a license for IDEA when we’re doing Java work, and PyCharm when we’re doing Python work, and WebStorm when we’re doing JavaScript work, or we just all use VSCode for everything.

    I’ve worked on Java teams, Python Teams, JavaScript Teams, C# teams, and quite frankly, I’ve seen no major benefit to a dedicated IDE for that language vs just configuring VSCode plugins and CLI scripts.











  • I don’t agree that they’re a monopoly, because they’ve done absolutely nothing to prevent competition. Other stores do it to themselves.

    Yes they have. The steam friends network and the fact that you can’t transfer your purchases, friends data, or community data to other platforms is an inherent form of lock in. Just because you’re used to it because Facebook also does it, doesn’t mean it’s not.


  • I’d like to see a Sankey graph of where Valve’s money goes before I praise them that much for helping out a Linux distribution a bit.

    Lots of major companies like Microsoft and IBM also contribute to Linux, it doesn’t make them saints nor even necessarily compare to what they get for using the volunteer dev work inside Linux.

    Gabe Newell is a billionaire, Steam is a defacto monopoly that objectively charges more than they have to, and literally everyone who works at Valve is in the 1%. Let’s not fall over ourselves dick-riding them.
