  • I’m in the same boat as you. The GUI thing doesn’t interest me. And I end up knowing “basic to intermediate” knowledge of a few different languages because, when you get right down to it, once your somewhat familiar with one object oriented language, the others fall in line pretty quickly.

    I find that for learning, I have to have a project to be working on. I can’t just sit and do exercises about classes, tuplets, and all that crap. I need to be able to say "okay…I want to make x do x on this project I’m working on…and then troll around the internet to figure out how to do it.




  • She’s a hateful…hateful…person. But she’s not stupid.

    She knows that when the public turns on Trump/Maga, they’ll likely be reactionary and look to his most vocal detractors for leadership. She wants in on that when the orange fuckwit finally eats the last burger that clogs his aorta for the last time.

    That’s Gavin Newsom’s play as well. Setting themselves up to the be faces of a post Trump America by being as vocal as possible now, banking on the hope that with Trump gone, MAGA will devolve into internecine chaos followed by nuremberg trials for Miller, Vance, Bondi and the entire gang of chucklefucks.

    Vance and Miller on the other handing, are on every news station in America hoping to be the face of MAGA itself, hoping that they have the rizz to wrangle the movement and prevent the above mentioned internecine chaos.






  • The fall of which Rome?

    I still contend that this isn’t equivalent to the fall of the Empire. It’s equivalent to the fall of the republic and the rise of the empire.

    The US isn’t dealing with Astragoths and Huns pillaging their cites. They’re dealing with an exceptionally stupid version of Caesar trying to usurp power and proclaim an empire.

    Buckle up, America. If you don’t take care of this now, your in for about 437 more years of this shit.








  • I feel embarassed to say this as someone who is fairly techy, but I’m a little confused by the whole brouhaha.

    Is Google making changes to Android, or to AOSP?

    If Google is making changes to the Android fork they put on their own phones, then fuck 'em. Use Graphene. Use e/OS/, use Lineage…use something that forks their own branch of AOSP and Google can pound sand because those forks are in no way obligated to make the same changes as Google. AOSP is open source for that very reason.

    If Google is making those changes to AOSP itself, which means that anyone who uses AOSP as a base have those changes by default, then isn’t Google obligated to keep those changes as Open Source, in which case anyone else who uses AOSP can just remove them from their own fork?

    Someone explain like I’m a particularly dim five-year-old, please.
