Can’t seem to find the modded spotify that gives you paid features

Pretty much just want 320kbps streaming, ad free, and playback syncing between all my devices

It wasn’t all tax revenue but taxes were definitely necessary for the US economy to not collapse while funding the war machine

It’s really not that hard to boycott China, people just don’t do it because they’re selfish and would rather support an authoritarian regime than stand for what’s right

I haven’t eaten any cooked hot food since the HK protests because every appliance is made or parts majority made in China

I will eat sliced bread and beans the rest of my life to own the Chinese

They print money for the government budget but that massively inflates the money supply so to counterbalance that inflation, they destroy all the money that was paid in taxes by their citizens

Taxpayer money funding government budget is fairly accurate

Yandex works pretty well

It’s a commonly known “fact” that I don’t believe because it’s so bizarre like the parent comment about not believing the official 911 story

In the same vein, when I was a kid, all the death camp nightmare stuff about DPRK and the Uyghur genocide stories when it first came out

lmao is this literally a lemmy instance for British feds? this has to be some reverse psychology from the Ml5

It’s not just the physical typing

It’s the fact that you can be extremely flexible with data structures and variables

E.g. you can have a list of strings and ints in Python but not java

It’s not just JSON and HTML. There’s also graphic rendering and even machine learning models

Programming is actually hard af to do for any extended period of time (more than half an hour)

It requires such a specific mind that’s drawn to all the detail oriented specific robotic parts of coding but almost all coders say coding is easy because the people whose mind don’t fit coding already quit long ago

Yes I find coding hard and no I’m not coping

Actually programming being difficult might not be correct but more like programming is largely unbearable

Everybody trashing on code reviews has never worked with a shit coder before

I’m a shit coder and almost every single review I’ve made big mistakes like forgetting to delete debug/dead code and there’s always meaningful improvements being suggested

Preferring server side rendering is an interesting topic

Client side renderering is currently the preference because the company gets to offload the compute costs of their servers onto the clients’ devices

As long as every website has a profit motive, even if it’s just a single person trying to save some money on their AWS bills, server side rendering will never become the norm

Hate to be a pedantic nerd but seeing as the subject is coding

I think you mean static typing, not strong typing

Queer Nazis really coming up in this world now

Not if you’re trying to meet new people at your zoomer college dorms

It’s fine if this is a deal breaker for OP, they just shouldn’t act like it’s the generations fault lol

Because nobody uses Signal

Look, I’m literally a tankie and understand the merits of Signal. I use it myself for anything that needs e2e encryption like organizing protests

But asking everybody else to download and use an app for just a single gc when all of their other chats are on other apps (that everybody else also already has) is far too demanding. Especially people you’ve just met and are trying to befriend

Not only that, but college roommate gc do not need e2e encryption unless you want to run a trap house. There’s absolutely no positive of using Signal for this other than your own personal preference. It’s just a little too self serving. Downloading Insta is free and you don’t have to participate in Insta bullshit. I think even a Messenger account works since Meta implemented cross platform chats

Now if they were asking for an iMessage gc and you have an Android then that’s fine to complain about because iPhones aren’t free and you’d have to replace your current choice of phone too

The only thing I can think of that’s worse than an insta gc is a signal gc
