Rust is great, and I truly mean that. But saying you can’t get race conditions in Rust is just not true.

And also, not everything is going to be written in Rust. When the company you’re working for needs a web application quickly, that’s better done in other languages.

And also also, Spring has a lot of niceties when it comes to concurrency that make this much less of a point.

And somewhere there’s “yinz”.

No. Every language has its haters. There’s a reason Java is so widely used. If you like it, keep at it.

I’ve been programming in Java professionally for 11 years. It’s not just embellishment, it’s outright lying.

Threads giving you race conditions? All concurrent programming will do that if you’re shit at it.

Java has come a long way. I will admit that UI in Java is terrible. I would never do that.

While Greenwald may not be a partisan hack, he’s still an opportunistic grifter.

I didn’t see that the quote was from Greenwald.

That’s some broken clock shit.

Yep. They’re mixing up orient, with orientation.

I don’t get it.

It gets to a point where it doesn’t feel like you have control over your own computer.

For me, a big one was how it would constantly wake from sleep for no reason or to update. If put it to sleep and most times it would wake before I even s stood up from my desk. And there are settings you can change to stop that, but Windows will just randomly reset them.

And this is a really small one, but Windows 11 dropping features that Windows 10 has. It’s very stupid that Windows 11 won’t let you have a vertical task bar.

I’ve been a Windows user for 30+ years and always loved that OS until recently. But now I love Linux. An OS that truly lets me own my computer and do what I want.

I regularly down vote things. I up vote a lot more than that, though. I’m sure the ratio is at least 3:1 or higher for up to down.

Are my down votes spam?

Yes!

I will always say TUNIC in these threads. One of the best gaming experiences of my life.

I’m a similar vein, Outer Wilds is also excellent.

There definitely different experiences. But, they are both a “go in blind and just explore” kind of game.

Are you sure it wasn’t the lying? Are you really sure?

Also: gyatt.

Out of touch wealthy folks.

I’d love to know why this is getting down votes.

Unfortunately, that’s no guarantee. I believe some devices have been found to scan for any open WiFi and join silently so they can phone home.

I can’t speak for ASCII mode. But DF is not hard, once you learn the game, unless you specifically go looking for a challenge.

The only real difficulty is just how much there is to learn about the game.

If you build defenses, never dig too deeply, and learn the basics of keeping your dwarves happy, you could play a fortress for hundreds of in game years. But that would get boring.
