I do understand that the DNC has complete control. We’ve seen many example of that, the most egregious being Bernie vs Clinton.

US society is fundamentally to the right and the DNC will keep it that way.

That creates an issue where changing the Democrat Party will take a long long time. So the better option would be a real left party, but that would mean that Republicans would be in power for a while, until the politcal landscape changes and stabilise with 3 parties. And that’s not accounting for the DNC that will work against the newly formed party.

Denying that the DNC is neo-liberal to its core is deliberate ignorance.

Any prominent member that has an ounce of progressism has to fight the DNC at every corner to get through, like we’ve seen Mamdani.

Meanwhile, progressives should definitely vote for the Democrats. But this is a different issue. The vote turnout is terrible in North America (we have the same problem in Canada).

The DNC is neo-liberal, period. They are center right everywhere in the world.

Both can be true. You’re getting older and lots of products are a solution in search of a problem to solve

Because tech should be boring. Just like politics.

But companies shove tech in our face with fancy bells and whistles to make us buy more.

I mean, just look at PC where RGB is everywhere. I want a silent PC that I don’t see.

I am not in the US. Seeed shipping would kill me

The official Pico, I can only find them at 9$. I am not in the US.

Its a self fulfilling disaster. The vast majority of developers learn their skills in a company. Companies don’t want to pay for documentation. So developers don’t learn to properly document.

When I work with a client that doesn’t have a constraining standard for their product, they never ever want to pay for documentation.

When I work with a client that has to work with constraining standards, they want the strict minimum that will get them their cert.

Edit : forgot to add my closing point.

Having a good documentation will make coding a lot more efficient and easy and usually decent.

I can find an arduino nano clone for 3$. There are use case for ultra cheap electronics like that.

You can get an arduino clone for a lot cheaper than you can get an rpi clone.

Sometimes, you just need something very simple and a cheap arduino is the right choice.

Arduino is also a lot more user friendly for newcomers.

It’s a shame that Qualcomm will be the end of it.

Arduino has its place for self-taught hobbyists. For a lot of projects, a simple code is more than enough, so there is no point of going into the more advanced mcu like esp32 or stm32.

Because data is the new oil and friends of the party won’t be able to profit from it if we have a sensible solution.

The issue isn’t the tech itsefl but the corporate world and its effects throughout society.

There is a lot of cool tech, but used for the most asinine products. 2015-2016 was especially terrible with the accessibility of IoT. Everyone and their mother had a Kickstarter with a common everyday item with wireless capability tacked into it.

No, my bottle doesn’t need Bluetooth.

No. Even if you are not pro, you still are good at your sport.

The gifted child burned out is a failure to foster a kid’s interests and skills that translates into adulthood.

Luke, Han and co should have been 20 mins in the first film to hand off the plot to the new generation of characters.

Because muslims are overly criticised and targeted specifically for their religion in the West.

Muslims shouldn’t be targeted because they are Muslims.

And

Religion doesn’t have its place in a progressive society.

There are 2 distinct issues, but they are almost always conflated, because it makes it easy to derail the discussions and debates.

The terms are used because of the narritive forms of a story.

1st person is from the point of view of the character, thus the view from the eyes of the playable character.

3rd person is he/she perspective. You follow the character from the narration of an external narrator. You see the playable character do actions from a perspective that isn’t their own or someone’s else.

2nd person would be from the point of view of a person involved with the character but isn’t it. So you would see the actions of the character through the eyes of an NPC. There was a demo floating around YouTube where a player was shooting zombies, and the camera was from the POV of thr zombies. It made it look pretty weird.

I fucking hate this phrase. You have the choice to not participate and be a normal human instead of a sociopath.

Hate the players because they perpetuate the game.

That sounds on par for course. They have a valod reason, but other people that do it don’t and are terrible people.

And nothing will come out of it, as always.

It’s because there is no such thing as optimisation anymore. Websites are bloated to the gills with terrible animations and tracking scripts.
