The US government wants devs to stop using C and C++
  • Because they want to replace them with more corporate-controlled languages.

    Just add @safe: after your module declaration, and you'll be safe by default if you don't want to wait until D3.

    Also, unlike in Rust, you can opt-out from RAII with int foo = void;, although it primarily has a performance advantage with arrays, not singleton variables (might be also useful for aquiring an RNG seed in a dumb way).

  • Libs vs Leftists. Learn the difference.
  • "Liberal" can mean centrism, capitalism with a human face, capitalism with some socially progressive elements, etc.

    "Leftist" can be anything from "liberal" (as the far-right likes to pretend left=evil), to any form of actual leftism, which also can range from libertarians to authoritarians, with the latter sometimes weirdly being pushed a lot by the right (Fidesz, the Hungarian far-right party masquerading as "moderate, center-right, christian democrats", have paid off the election debts of Munkáspárt 2006, and now they're one of their satellites).

  • Libs vs Leftists. Learn the difference.
    1. A lot of them abstained due to the dems failing to do anything on the state level.
    2. A lot of them who voted just thought the Project 2025 was there to make the libs cry, and no human would be evil enough to execute them all.

    Also a lot of Trump voters in the swing states are already regretting, if it continues, it can very well lead to a civil war, especially if Project 2025 will be executed. Who knows, maybe even the military will have issues with it.

  • I'm surprised it hasn't been taken down yet ...well maybe not that surprised
  • In a nutshell: If they hit one side of your face, turn the other cheek. Repeat it until both your face fucking hurts and they think it's violent of you instead not kneeling down, not spreading your arms wide open, not putting your tongue between your teeth, not lifting your chin, so they could just kick your chin while holding you down, until you eventually bite off your tongue. Maybe after that, they will have remorse and not continue kicking you to death on the ground.

    They already have "violent vigilante rhetoric". They send bomb threats to anyone remotely pro-LGBTQ+, because some Jewish collaborant told them they're grooming kids by their mere existence. The moral high ground won't save any of us.

    You know one of the reasons why they're calling us "cucks"? Because we will take the moral high ground every time they hit a new low, including on positions we have never really hold. Remember all the "why are you so intolerant of intolerance?" posts? That caused many of us to just go full out tolerant of nazis, to not appear "anti free speech", which for them means "free from criticism and with a guaranteed audience", not "free expression until you don't hurt others". Hell, at the end days of my "nihilistic edgelord" phase, if I wanted to joke about Stalin alongside of Hitler, I got called out on the former, because the latter "only killed 600 000 (!) people". (A number from a then common and dumb holocaust denialist theory of "they accidentally put one extra zero there")

  • well at least the cycle has stopped
  • Some people are trying their best to avoid politics outside of election season, and a lot of them are taking them in good faith.

    When I first voted for Fidesz in 2009 and 2010, I didn't know about the "Székház ügy" (Hall Controversy - Fidesz sold a hall given to them for crazy amounts of money, which they dumped into media to attack the MSZP government of 1994-1998), and my mother to this day does not want to acknowledge it. People just saw that the MSZP-SZDSZ didn't do a lot of good, tried to sell our hospitals to for-profit corporations, etc.

    Most voters aren't politically savvy terminally online weirdos, but weirdos that want to hear a story, a narrative.

    We need a left-wing populist narrative! Not economic jargon, and also not the kind of leftist rhetoric that terminally online tankies on lemmygrad and hexbear are spouting (most destructive thing that can happen to leftism), but someone who will translate it to the language of the common people.

    The democrats are now throwing trans people under the bus!

    Yeah, it's advised to vote for the lesser evil, unless you're literally choosing between Mussolini and Hitler, but you need to provide even more than being better on social issues than Trump. I cannot vote in the US, but saw many of those who could begging the democrats to put a weapons trade embargo on Israel. They were already being called "too antisemitic" even by dumping all the weapons into Israel anyways.

  • Maga’s violent threats spike as little girls threatened with rape
  • Expect this to escalate to really bad levels. Not just by women getting raped, but those awful men getting "what they deserve", which will lead to further escalations. All because of they wanted what those stupid Coca-Cola and gas stove ads depicted.

  • On the subject of regrouping

    Liberalism has failed. While it tried to somewhat remedy today's problems, it clearly wasn't enough. Especially with how much our corporate overlords outgrew even the past robber barons. The corporate social media, that were often used by anti-establishment activists, are often became extremely hostile to those, and instead boosted those that does take down the more liberal parts of the status quo. Liberals became more and more incompetent about trying to speak to the common people who do not understand economics to the same degree as they think.

    Even we had our own issues. The former big names of "breadtube" often have had disappeared to Nebula and other platforms, where their videos are paywalled, thus reach a much smaller audience. While others do exist, they have been buried under the algorithm so far, and the far-right likes to antagonize politics in entertainment media, but only if that entrails leftist politics, thus some of us are holding back on it.

    First if you haven't ditched Twitter yet, then what are you waiting for? Go get a Mastodon account, go to Bluesky (even if they're still corporate) instead, even if your VTuber oshi or favorite singer still haven't go any of there or got bored of them after a few days due to being way less addictive.

    Secondly, unless you really live in a very isolated place, go outside, talk to people! Make real-life friends! You have been living in long time isolation that you have issues with opening up yet again? Seek help, either professionally or some other way if it's not available to you.

    Third, take care of your body, don't let it go to waste. You might need it, if things go to south.

    And lastly, we must stop taking the "moral high ground" every time. The right does not care. The right just uses it to gaslight us to hold certain positions, often to make us look worse, or to compromise our positions. Do not "cancel" your fellow comrades just to show "yeah, we are holding people accountable for their actions", just for that to be something said years ago or something similarly small stuff; this is both being used to hurt our movement by inciting infights, but to also show those wanting to leave the alt-right "why would you, they'll eventually backstab you", maybe instead we want to rehabilitate people as we always dreamed what justice should be. But also do not concede your positions on minorities: the "ineffective" liberal party that preceded Fidesz tried to slowly concede on Roma issues due to the damage the far-right did between 2006 and 2010 to anti-racism, then Ferenc Gyurcsány's (Hungarian prime minister between 2004 and 2008) current party doubled down on slowly abandoning some LGBTQ+ issues, while being barely more than a shitty social democrat party. Meanwhile Szikra, an unashamedly populist and libertarian-leftist party, is unstoppable.

    Take your time to rest. Whether you expected or not, a punch still hurts. But we can't rest forever.

    40% of the U.S. is buttfuck insane
  • To be fair, a lot of them don't know the full context. Don't underestimate how much the average voter can be out of touch with news. Many of them only care about politics every four years or so.

  • Harris' Messaging problem
  • It's a lot more complicated. They didn't even really tried to ratify Roe v. Wade after it got repelled. They just tried to play the moral high ground.

    If the democrats had any bravery, they would have at least tried to put it out to vote, then if failed, smear any republican in their way as a "creepy pedophile that wants little girls pregnant", and "killers of mothers, whose pregnancy went wrong". That sways moderates way easier than moving to the right, step-by-step. My mother is actually a moderate Fidesz voter, and she's having second thoughts about her support every time she sees people posting "cry lib"-style gloat, or that the only children the "child protection" laws are protecting are manchildren having meltdowns from seeing "gay" series on the sidebar of Netflix. The common people are swayed by emotions way more than reason. Even I'm more emotional than reasonable. They want to hear a story, not a nerd-talk how your new tax system will improve the economy.

  • Fuck Musk, Fuck "X"
  • We need to regroup ASAP, on other platforms, like here on Lemmy. I'm already seeing some happenings, we just need to beg more people to come here. Let's make Lemmy the place chuds imagine what Reddit is! Minus the toxic callout stuff, that will be just weaponized against us, and anyone trying to leave the far-right (far-right trollfarms like to impersonate leftists to convince real leftists into attacking each other).

  • The right-wing claims about voter fraud have suddenly vanished
  • It'll go in waves. Currently both the Fediverse and BlueSky are cozy places, and as they continue to further decay, both are going to gain more and more users. I'm less on these kinds of platforms, but I started to instead doomscroll way less and either watch more videos or are more productive. We maybe even should call this movement "social media detox".

  • You did it now!
  • I have former Latino friends, who turned to the right for weird reasons. One weirdly complained about "feminist laws", the rest think they want to pay less taxes and though the rest are just a joke or something.

  • You can never satisfy the anti-woke crowd

    Godot got a spite fork by the name "Redot" after their community managers quote-retweeted a chud calling the use of licensed game engines woke. Some people jumped onto the bandwagon, but it seems the engine is still too woke for some YouTube commentators.

    Some license recommendations for an open source font?

    I've worked on multiple bitmap fonts, and would like to open source them in some way of form.

    How do I return a fullscreen window back to normal on X11?

    It was quite difficult to look up for Windows, and X11 has its own more complicated way of doing things. On X11, I've managed to enter fullscreen, but exiting is even more difficult and less documented.

    I know Wayland exists, but as long as XWayland provides a good enough support, I'll use that instead for now, due to lack of time on my own side.

    EDIT: To clarify: I meant how do I do it via API calls, in programming, not by what key is the default (which is F11).

    Feminism rule

    Context: On the bottom one, she's shredding on the guitar, and wanted to make fun of a previous "before feminism/after feminism" meme.
