Conservatives are the good cops to the fascists' bad cops.
"You know people with age usually grow out of liberalism. Oh, you're soon to be 33? Great age to convert to Christianity, I'm giving you my pastor's phone number!" vs "I'm going to throw you out of a helicopter you godless communist heathen!"
"Just work harder, then maybe you get a promotion or something, so you won't be living under poverty line, otherwise those who suffer more will enter God's kingdom." vs "Oh, you're just like [currently hated minority] for not wanting to work you communist, welfare queen, leech!"
"What if you regret your lifestyle choices? What if at 35 you realize you wanted a lot of children, and so you instead want a heterosexual relationship? What if you influence a young child to do so? I'm not hating you, I'm just concerned about your and others' mental well being." vs "Die $!@" proceeds to beat you up
Other people claim trans people were invented by John Money, except he's only being pushed by bigots due to his name could invoke some antisemitic tropes in people's heads.
These are hugely unpopular moves from the supreme court.
Some altogether stopped caring about the good cause, instead for them, cruelty is the only reason why they're carrying on.
A lot of people, including the best of the conservative politicians, take the whole "conserving our traditions" façade very seriously.
Conservatives, from the very beginning, were more interested in conserving their own power, while realizing hiding behind the "conserving our traditions" mask will win them a lot, besides using the "my enemy's hypocrisy is a fatal flaw of their character and ideology, my hypocrisy is human nature" tactic ad nauseum.
LLMs are not magic, otherwise one just have to request that any submission will have references to reputable sources.
If that gets updated, then it will favor big corporations.
Issue is power imbalance.
There's a clear difference between a guy in his basement on his personal computer sampling music the original musicians almost never seen a single penny from, and a megacorp trying to drive out creative professionals from the industry in the hopes they can then proceed to hike up the prices to use their generative AI software.
I have that issue to a lesser degree, blame my anti-seizure meds' side effects.
You misinterpreted OP, otherwise I also do think the top scenario is weird.
Similar thing happened in my country, Hungary. We have a de facto one party system, where outsiders are allowed to have an opinion, nothing much else. Sometimes they have suspiciously too many ties to Fidesz, like Munkáspárt 2006 and Mi Hazánk Mozgalom. Corporations not being subservient to Fidesz are being harassed by law enforcement, the tax agency, and the media agency, only a few left as a way to show not everyone is with Fidesz, but often at the cost of them not getting any subsidies, etc. Meanwhile, Fidesz has clever ways to subvert even its own laws. They limit campaign spendings, but have at least 2 GONGOs pumping out ads for them.
Good luck, maybe the RNC won't forbid anyone left of Mussolini from owning guns, or maybe you can just wait until the US implodes and Canada will run to your help instead of Russia and/or China.
To all you inside the US: you might want to look up how assault rifles' can be modified to be automatic.
I have a feeling that if Trump wins, someone will do the nazi salute thing again, but maybe insert "hail god!" somewhere into it, and this time it'll be done by someone way more mainstream...
I noticed she not only have a fleshlight, but also a faint and very translucent navel.
that genie is not going back to the bottle
IDK, but the anti-GMO movement managed to mostly put back a genie into its bottle. We just need to fight harder.
But then everything changed when the fire alarm community attacked.
Only the avatar can master all the alarm types, but when the wold needed him the most, he vanished. Years later he returned, and I believe he can finally save the world.
I'm getting back into playing guitar, but I want to skip on constantly changing tunings and strings for them, also I would like some octaver effect or something like that.
Display of OpenGL context works fine on Windows, no issues with resizing. Function glViewport works as intended.
It only has issues with X11 on Linux (no plans yet to implement Wayland due to lack of free time). Resizing breaks everything, and it doesn't really work the way you expect (point of triangle moves down if you make it taller, etc). I cannot find anything on if I should call anything else besides glViewport, only that "you should use [insert already existing library], which will take care of this behavior". Others are suggesting me that it's an issue with my distro, but I cannot find any OpenGL testcase that is small enough to test on my VM or my Raspberry Pi to actually test whether that's the case.
When resizing an X11 window with OpenGL content, the image becomes garbled and certain parts of the window, usually at the parts that wasn't originally part of the initial framebuffer.
I couldn't find any documentation on if I supposed to call some extra functions when the window is being resized or not. I otherwise process that even as a system event, so it can be further processed by the program using my API.
I started to use Linux Mint on my VM, however it seems like it uses a different channel for packages, which means I get some outdated packages such as D compilers, which makes me unable to compile my programs.
While the D compilers have some userspace installer scripts, they're userspace only, meaning they need initialization scripts, which only work until the end of the given shell instance, which makes it particularly hard to use in certain contexts.
Is there some "untested" or similar branch to get some newer stuff? The compilers don't seem to interfere with anything system level, so it should be fine.
So far, Ubuntu 24.04 was an absolute nightmare for me. While upgrading to it in a VM, it randomly crashed, which broke the GUI. I had to go to the tty, and finish the upgrade that way to get back into GNOME. Then every time I launched its default file manager or its screen settings app (which became mandatory as it just randomly switched to 1280x800, thus making work a nightmare), it crashed so hard it took the VM host with itself.
Switching to VMWare, it was more stable, stable, but after the first restart, I get a lot of graphical glitches and a black background. Tried Kubuntu to see if it's a GNOME-related thing, but similar issues prevail, this time with a tanked performance until I switch to tty.
I need an easy-to-use and relatively stable distro, for compiling, testing, and rewriting software with GUI, thus I cannot use WSL on Windows 10. I want to spend my time developing, and not resolving bugs, nor with tinkering with the OS. Likely I will have to keep my primary development platform as Windows, and Linux does not offer me anything more, and "deploying/cross compiling to Windows" is not very feasible to me at the moment due to I'm writing my own middleware to interface with OS API, and I also want to test on native Windows rather than in an emulator. Windows 11 might push me in the direction to use a Windows installation inside a VM, but only if disabling telemetry becomes impossible.

It has some weird solutions due to my limited experience with the subject and the target usage favor preallocation instead of live allocation. I took some inspirations from Music Macro Language, Assembly, and Lua. Due to the lack of a MIDI 2.0 format, I thought I'd come up with my own, adding capabilities to program adaptive soundtracks (emitting MIDI commands with calculated values, conditional emitting of MIDI commands, conditional looping and pattern playback, etc).
I initially gave it the name .m2 but while M.2 is an entirely different thing, an MML format by the name .m2 does exist on the PC98, thus I'm looking for some new name for mine. The only thing I can come up on the spot is MASM (or MIDI Assembly), but it's close to an already existing MASM (Microsoft Macro Assembler).
After a crash during an update (which I managed to recover from), the default file manager Nautilus no longer works, and crashes so hard it crashes VirtualBox too.
I tried by deleting it then reinstalling it, but didn't change this behavior. Also there's a non-zero possibility that the original crash was caused by Nautilus itself.
d package int poll_win_RawInput(ref InputEvent output) nothrow @nogc { MSG msg; BOOL bret = PeekMessageW(&msg, null, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE); if (bret) { ////Some code that supposed to swallow WM_SYSKEY and the likes, but does not work as intended//// DispatchMessageW(&msg);//In the aforementioned block ////Function that optionally gets text input messages//// switch (msg.message & 0xFF_FF) { ////Regular user input handling via RawInput and some legacy stuff + XInput handling in separate function////
Since it's for games, the default Alt key behavior is undesirable for me. It makes my test application hang and make error noises since it doesn't have a menubar. I checked whether my window had a flag that enabled the menubar or not, but couldn't find it.
Thanks to the current SEO nightmare, I can no longer use search engines the same reliability as before. Stackoverflow is too toxic and often all I need is to properly look up some more obscure stuff about some API, which "could just be googled". AI, of course, is very unreliable.
Searching code on Github, then adjusting it in many ways to my needs (like to a different language, renaming variables to make more sense, additional optimizations, etc.) seems way more feasible nowadays. However, while there's a lot of code with very permitting licenses (including public domain licenses), others are not so much, and I don't want to argue against them, often I'm even understanding the reasons behind their decisions. I even try to give credit wherever I can, or look up the original source of an algorithm I find being referenced by someone else.
After getting angry at Lua for bugs reappearing after fixing them, and otherwise having issues with making it interoperable with my own language of choice (D), I decided to roll out my own VM out, with some enhanced optional features compared to regular Lua (type safety, static arrays on the stack, enhanced metatables, etc.), and also allowing the potential of other scripting languages to be ported to the VM. As I already have crafted a VM for a programmable MIDI format (M2: Docs / Implementation ; bit incomplete as of now), I thought it'll be easy, just don't optimize this time entirely around preallocation (M2 has 128 not entirely general purpose registers per pattern (musical thread) + 128 shared registers + shared arrays), add stack handling, add heap handling, add more types, etc.
Thus I begun working on PingusVM, to contribute to the problem of ever growing number of standards.
However, as time went by, I had to realize (just like every time I've added another engine feature) that it's way more complicated, especially as I have realized mid-development that I had a lot of oversight on design. Not only that, I have a lot of other projects, such as the game engine I've originally intended the VM for. My main issue is, potential candidates either lack integer support, or are very bloated (I don't need a second XML DOM parser, etc). Lua kind of worked, but after I fixed an issue (which was hard as every tutorial implied you just wanted to load a file directly instead of having the ability of loading the text directly) a very similar one reappeared, while following every tutorial possible. Others would lead me to introduce some C-style build system, as they would need "hard linking" to my engine, and that "hard linking" is why I had to halt development of my image library, as I would have needed to introduce a build system into my project for the LZW codec (required for GIF files).
