I personally locked my account, and only going there to "spy" on some people only being active there, or to interact with some mutual. It's too much of a toxic pit, the porn bots now even post illegal stuff, and the site is buggy. It was quite good for my mental health to delete that app from my phone though. I miss the community I had there, some I'm instead in contact on Discord (I have a Matrix account too, haven't been using it much), some on Mastodon. That community was slowly disappearing since the Musk takeover, not because of my absence from what is now basically just a 4chan that is still somehow attracts corporations. I wonder if I manage to find a new one soon, or maybe even create my own.
Sites like that can be blacklisted with web browser plugins. Vastly improved my DuckDuckGo experience for a while, but it'll be a Whack-A-Mole game from both sides, and yet again my searches are littered with SEO garbage at best, and AI-generated SEO garbage full with made up stuff at worst.
So I've come to the point where I've wanted some to see some features on the software I regularly use and I feel confident enough that I can pull it off. However, once I start getting into it, it all becomes so overwhelming that it's hard to get anything done....
Testing is also very useful. If you even just happen to find some bug, that you can reproduce, it's pretty useful.
I personally have quite a few open source projects (mostly gamedev related, some are multi-purpose enough for other things), all of which need a lot of testing, also I would use someone to develop Mac (and maybe FreeBSD) parts of my middleware.
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....
With hexadecimal numbers, you not only can directly go 0xB00B1E50, but type stuff like 0xDE4DB3A7 (might be a good choice for a seed for a hashing algorithm).
My biggest fear is that it could be a coping mechanism for us.
The right likes to use every opportunity against us, and while I've seen many instances of them manipuating "cancel culture" on the left, there's still a large number of people that are amnesiac about the Trump years, even if they're themselves being manipulated by the right to follow such things.
I'm a D developer, this wouldn't work for me. Hell, I can even in theory directly interact with C++ code from my language of choice, except I still haven't. I have started to write a binding (and some nice D-style API) for Wasmtime, which is written in Rust.
Also don't forget the elite side of the food industry (gourmet chefs, etc.), that needs to demonize the more cost-effective things in order to make their own alternatives look more appealing.
Speaking of it, one anti-GMO organization actually shown expensive gourmet food as an allternative to the golden rice.
Nah, you need to realize your loved ones, and everything else you love is in danger by fascism, then use the power of love towards those things to gain inspiration in your fight against fascism.
If you ask: "gamergate" and similar things are just temporary things, usually just distractions from how capitalism decays art and "geek culture", and of course a recruitment tool. But in reality, you would be lucky, if you could play some state-sponsored games on your choice of platform, and would likely have to parttake in some "book burning type of event".
Search results: "Here's how you setup Rawinput in this competitive FPS, and look how it reduces input latency by a single milisecond! After 2-3 pages of AI generated SEO garbage full of misinformation, you might find something else besides of the official MS docs."
Me: "Okay, this is not working, maybe I should look for some another preexisting SDL alternative, maybe at least one of them isn't an even bigger dumpster fire than SDL itself."
Search results: "Duuuude, have you heard of this game making tool, called Gamemaker? It doesn't need coding, and it's totally the same thing, because some people mistakingly called SDL a game engine, and now my AI hallucinates it as such. If you're up to a bigger challenge, then there's always Godot, or DirectX, which my AI also hallucinates being a game engine!"
DuckDuckGo is also being poisoned by SEO unfortunately. Some group of people managed to crack its algorithm, and as Google is slowly but fading relevancy, DuckDuckGo is now also has the same issues.
SDL, on the other hand, is not, and instead is a multimedia layer (middleware) often used for game development.
One could argue that game engines constitute as middleware, but in reality, most modern game engines are way more than that, and instead often rely on other middleware nowadays (e.g. OpenGL, or even SDL for some). This, alongside with people mistakingly calling SDL a game engine, leads to stuff like this.
People made the same arguments about "heterosexual" and "straight", at least with the latter I could see why someone would see that as a slur (it's a term originates from animal farming), while "heterosexual" just describes someone is attracted to the opposite gender (go on, and use it as an "a ha!" moment against me by claiming it as a proof that even I know there's only two genders, like fundamentalists do with atheists saying "oh my god!"). "Cis" is just the opposite of "trans", even if Musk had the techbro-level idea of treating "cis" the same way most sensible people treat that "cool and funny" gamer word, he wants to say out loud in the public, like he used to do it in apartheid Africa.
Would him putting on the Darth Vader armor be an analogue to many "toxic" leftists using doxxing sites dominated by the far-right to try and ruin the lives of people that aren't 100% into Stalin?
Explanation: Python is a programming language. Numpy is a library for python that makes it possible to run large computations much faster than in native python.

One wants you to boil alive slowly and the other wants to dismember you with a chain saw.
No.
One is consisting of unimaginative and incompetent people, and people that want to do things but cannot due to the another group.
The other group is consisting of outright vile people that get off of other people's suffering, religious fanatics that need some "noble lies" about things like trans people otherwise "they'll throw away eternal happiness of the afterlife for the temporary happiness of this life", and "good willing conservatives" that are fooled by the meaning of the word and think "even if all this turns out to be real hatred, the next government can just unlegislate the law".
We had 8 years of the former in Hungary. The latter convinced enough "good willing conservatives" to vote for them. We no longer can "unvote" them, for another government to "unlegislate" horrible laws, and no government will unsteal money stolen by Fidesz oligarchs, unexpel kids from high school because Fidesz lowered the education age, and undo the countless other harm caused by them.
I don't think a "world wide worker's revolution" is coming. If it's coming, it'll be in current China style, and I got enough of mediocre dictators wanting to form society to their liking. If it will be somehow good, it still can't undo the harms of the current system. And if the rise of Nazism didn't lead to the second coming of Rosa Luxemburg, I doubt the current rise of fascism will lead to anything like that, and leftist movements can be easily crushed by a police state in their cradles. Hell, all they need is widespread alcoholism and overwork, like in Hungary where they weaponize doomerism.
The only thing I grew at home (in a pot, because dogs) was chili, because it's more scarce in stores than stuff like onions. Some do fear that the store ones are all "GMO" secretly, or even manufactured from some petroleum products, like my stepmother, who once learned that things like milk powder, egg powder, and meat powder exists, but she thought they all weren't made of the real things, because she couldn't believe the Earth could feed this many people, and the rich hoard all the good stuff for themselves.

I was "groomed" into the far-right around 2006-2010, and I have to say progressives always understood me much better than anyone on the right. Best the right could do is blame my single mother for remarrying to an abusive jerk due to financial necessity, my father for not taking me with himself to my also abusive stepmother (my actual parents also needed a lot of self-reflection to be at least tolerable), and of course the same scaremongering and Jordan Peterson-level life "advices" that are popular today. They were way more transparent about not understanding gaming and the likes, unlike today's right that pretends to care about it with its gamergates and similar culture war talking points.
