Didn’t Obama also kick out more illegal immigrants than a bunch of presidents before him? Maybe I’m misremembering, but I do remember nobody giving a shit about illegal immigrants being kicked out. Then Trump came and people freaked out, as if it didn’t happen under Obama as well.

Shit was weird.

It’s why John Carmack (created Wolfenstein, Doom, Rage, and made the engine that drives Half Life, Call of Duty and many more) is so revered. He’s straight up a tech wizard.

I would argue that the Republicans are a symptom as well, the whole USA democratic structure will only enable a 2-party system. The whole systemic structure is rotten.

*Freedom of Expression

We don’t have Freedom of Speech, but we do have Freedom of Expression. Important difference, even though it may freak out some Americans.

LineageOS, maybe? Still Android, but (AFAIK) more open to change than standard Android.

So sad when it happens…

I don’t follow - do people still seriously use SMS? I for one try to use it as little as possible.

Don’t both Windows and MacOS call it folders, and Linux calls it directories?

Oh man, I remember this from years ago when the only 1-up on Minecraft it had, was that I could run it at 60 FPS, infinite chunks in all directions, no extreme lag spikes while generating the map, and further view distance.

Zero mods back then, so I’m happy to see the mod support!

One year left, before W10 support goes out the Window.

ThePrimeagen invited Matt to explain what’s going on.

TL;DW Matt’s claim is that he tried to get WP Engine to pay for a Trademark license (or whatever it’s called - I’m recalling from watching yesterday), over several months, and they tried to legally block him in every way. Their self-claimed contributions to Wordpress were (as he tells it) that they held conferences where they promoted their own stuff only - code contributions have been minimal.

So the combination of not willing to pay for the trademark + not contributing back (not in code, not in helping the community) is Matt’s reasoning for blocking them from using Wordpress’ resources.

He also mentioned that he has good relations with other Wordpress hosts, so it’s not like he’s trying to block anyone else from hosting, but they were all willing to pay for the use of the Trademark (and/or contribute back).

Well, she did tell that she didn’t get a budget, so they just effectively stole from other departments. Want a table that’s not bolted down? Take it.

But that’s Navy internals, (arguably) not a massive for-profit company that’s going it out of sheer greed.

currency = capitalism

u wot mate? If that was the case then we would always have had Capitalism, which we’ve obviously did not. You need a system that supports inserting capital into random companies to get to Capitalism, not (just) currency.

I remember Reddit helping to make a kid do his homework.

People kept complaining about “karma farmers”

I remember the “Reddit is just you, me and /u/karmanaut” meme from 2008. He was the original “karma farmer”. It was a problem since the early days due to how they setup Reddit as a system. It just enforced his behaviour.

people jumped ship to Reddit because it was better.

People jumped ship because Digg turned into complete and utter garbage, and Reddit wasn’t completely awful. It was a weird site though, 100%.

Digg would’ve been fine had they not forced Digg v4 on users.

What’s a good voice-chat alternative then?

Wild that Reddit’s creation is closer to the start of the Eternal September than it is to today (19 years).
