Listen you can whine about tech or you can start building with it.

And by building, I mean telling it what it should do.

And by telling it what it should do, I mean typing out what you want.

And by telling it what you want, I mean explaining a crypto bro idea in a rant to Chat GPT.

I mean he’s not technical but I’m sure he’s really nailed this one.

I actually build a full copy of the DB on the client machine. That way I can’t lose the data, it’s all right there and so fast.

No, it doesn’t mean they’re wrong, but asking someone to suffer for your benefit while you refuse to suffer is self centered and shows a lack of conviction. If you take it a step further and start demanding it, like some are, you start to look like what you’re fighting against.

“Everyone needs to protest, it won’t stop until they feel it! Not me, I mean I’m not going to do that, but people need to. Even if it hurts them and theirs! I’ll be waiting.”

Thanks for listening I guess.

Edit for your edit: it is about collective action. Action he is demanding that can cause great suffering to those who perform it, so that he can benefit from that action. Action, that while demanding it, he refuses to take part in. This is about people demanding others to suffer for their benefit.

Yeah and? You’re asking someone to make the choice to not provide for their family. One person starving doesn’t make others starving any less meaningful. Seriously? This would create more homeless people. So if a new law was passed that made you homeless or wouldn’t matter, I mean there were homeless people already. Or if a whole town gets destroyed by a natural disaster, who cares, there were already people with nothing. The lack of empathy or just human decency is insane here.

I’m not using them as a shield. That’s your problem, you’re not willing to try to understand the point, you see it as a fight you have to win. I’m explaining a situation and why I’m certain situations people are going to be human and try to do what it takes to eat and take care of their children. Asking them to not do that is a very large, and some might say heartless ask. Are you willing to risking being homeless or unable to eat to protest? If not, you’re asking someone to suffer immensely while you sit back comfortably.

A lot of people ITT seem to have no problem demanding that people put their livelihoods on the line and risk everything they have, but I don’t see one person demanding that actually doing anything close to that themselves.

That’s easy to say. But when a mother won’t be able to feed her kids or pay rent it becomes less black and white. I’d ask the people who keep saying this requires sacrifice, what have you sacrificed that is on that level? Because you should be ready to do the same.

Cool, deflecting again. I don’t care about the difference, it means nothing. It’s something you’re bringing up to deflect from the core point: you said people need to protest for extended periods, till it hurts. Have you done that, or are you being an absolute hypocrite, it’s any easy question but you keep dodging it for some reason. I wonder why…

I mean you could be organizing the next protest instead of messing around on Lemmy. But here you are, preaching and virtue signalling while refusing to answer if you’ve done what you’re asking of others.

Edit: and it looks like he never answered. Another person demanding things from others that will cause suffering, but you’re unwilling to do it yourself. But you’ll mock what they do as not good enough. Crazy…

That’s a lot of words to deflect from the fact that you’re not willing to do what you’re asking others to do. Sit back down, no one needs you telling the world how great you are while you demand from others what you won’t do yourself. When was the last time you protested for days, putting something on the line, like you’re judging others for not doing? Or have you been too busy patting yourself on the back about how you do more than any other lib.

Only the weekends huh? So only one or two days at a time? I heard one guy say that until people start taking protest seriously nothing will change. A single day or two will do nothing to sway them. It needs to be a prolonged event that hurts them. Wait, wasn’t that you? The guy not practicing what he preaches? Looks like I nailed it.

And yes, let’s cap it all off by saying how you’re better than everyone else, and everyone else is just performative. Jesus, I’ve never seen someone hurt a cause they support so handedly through hypocrisy and ego. Impressive.

With that mindset, since we can’t do anything for weeks on end, better call the whole thing off, since it can’t be done for weeks. I can say you thinking that doing it for one day is pointless is just an excuse for you to do nothing as well. You’re being extremely hypocritical.

Are you out there putting your life on the line, risking your home and children’s safety? Or are you waiting and making excuses? Yeah, I think we both know the answer. You want others to risk everything but I’m guessing you’ve not risked anything. But I could be wrong, please tell me what you’ve done to effect this change you want so badly? What have you put on the line?

What you’re asking is for single moms not to work and have enough money to feed kids and pay rent. You’re asking people to miss rent payments and be homeless. Some people can’t afford to do this, full stop.

Someone, please think of the rich who are killing countless people for money, please.

OOP is pretty readable though. What would be the alternative, functional programming with no ORM?

Masters and slaves

Cloning

Deploying code (that’s what you do with soldiers!!!1)

Using Git to rewrite history.

Atomic values (like the bomb!)

These people are madmen.

This. And I’ve found that putting my Sync for Lemmy app where reddit was on my phone makes it easier, I impulse scroll sometimes. Yah it’s dryer but also I don’t waste hours scrolling, I get a small taste and move on.

No worries, it’s outlined in detail, with pictures and a video here: (deadlink)

People care so much about the weirdest stuff.
