  • Cannot wait for this AI trash to become illegal and all these damn companies stealing tons of information against all known copyright laws to feed their half-assed AI garbage that outputs laughable results at best are forced to suddenly backtrack on their “LOL AI IS THE FUUUUUUTUUUUUREEEEE” bullshit.

    I love how you specifically say “gaming PC” because I know you and every so-called “gamer” these days have to have some over the top, expensive, overheating, power-sucking pile of trash to run games at ridiculous resolutions/refresh rates with blinding, ugly graphics full of so many garbage lighting effects and muddy megatextures that the game is nearly unplayable.

    If you can’t run a game on a ~400 UKBucks machine, the game isn’t worth playing.

    What’s the point of consoles when PCs exist? I don’t understand how we have spent the entire modern PC era still clinging to locked down, limited consoles. And PCs aren’t expensive if you’re not buying some laughable top of the line garbage that runs games at super-ultra-mega-hyper high settings at 50billion pixels @ 4,096Hz.





  • We can’t rely on voting. This person and many like him are inhuman and hateful and that right there should disqualify you from holding office, period.

    Voting is just being able to influence panicky, problematic, fearful people to get hateful people to win. Nothing is going to be fixed in the long run if we keep allowing these people to hold office. We need a set standard for people that have respect, intelligence, dignity, and compassion for human beings of all kinds to be able to hold office. Voting is just going to make things worse and even if it happens to temporarily fix things, it will eventually swing back the other way.

    This country is just inviting fascism by letting the common person have a say in how things are ran.

    Not forcing everyone to go to a big centralized city rather than spreading everything out will actually fix it. We started doing that long ago but recently have started listening to greedy real estate developers gentrifying cities and now EVERYONE GO TO CITY TO DO THING and people are now shocked, SHOCKED that traffic into and out of cities is out of control.

    And love how other “solutions” are LOL MASS TRANSIT. Yep, going somewhere on a track that doesn’t go immediately to a certain place then having to get on a damn bus or in a taxi or a freaking Uber scam to actually get where they need to go which is not only ableist because it’s difficult for people with mobility issues to do that, but also problematic if you need to actually transport any decent amout/size of goods on said public transportation. Cars are the best at getting places and no amount of whining and bitching and complaining is going to change it.



  • Sick of debating you people on this. You can’t understand basic logic which tells me right away that you’re either not a programmer or a really bad one, or, more likely, you have some sort of investment in the language’s success.

    There’s no conflict in the statements that you need to be a good C programmer and that it’s impossible to be a perfect programmer. This non-argument is you either not understanding common sense and logic, or you grasping at straws in the vain hope that people will think you’re right because you’re so obsessed with your language of the year that will be forgotten soon enough and replaced with, again, C and other traditional, good, useful languages.

    I don’t know which is the case, but the frenzied, unhinged way you’re trying to defend rust makes me think you have an investment in the language in some way, which makes your argument invalid. I have no such attachments.

    If you can’t understand such common sense arguments, I can’t believe that you even know how to write “Hello World” in any language.


  • No one who knows anything about C uses insecure functions without having a good reason and a good foundation around them to keep them secure. The functions are there to allow C to have maximum flexibility and low-level access to a system. For the most part, these shouldn’t be used, and any decent C programmer knows that. Comparing that with Rust where people think the entire language is inherently safe and has zero awareness of what they might be doing is laughably insecure is the heart of the problem.

    Been programming longer than most of you have been alive, kids. Keep on defending your hacked together tricycle language and then crying when you manage to tip it over because of your overconfidence.


  • ALL CODE CAN HAVE BUGS BECAUSE WE ARE ALL HUMAN. NO ONE IS DENYING THAT.

    But thinking that Rust is inherently safer is actually trolling. I don’t care what you’re doing or who you are, you can make a gigantic security hole in ANY language, including Rust, and there’s zero difference. If you really think people are going around screwing up in C more than people are screwing up in Rust, particularly because they feel like “RUST IS SAFER I CAN DO ANYTHING”, you’re delusional.




  • Right here, is what I’m talking about. People believe that the code/language itself is inherently safe/secure or unsafe depending on what you choose and that’s wrong. It’s what the programmer does with that code that makes it safe or unsafe, secure or insecure. You can have the best designed and engineered materials on the planet and people are still going to be able to make things that will fall over and cause massive disasters with it. Stop bowing down to freaking Rust as if it’s the damn savior of computing and programming. In the end, it’s just another language and one another step removed from low level computing where it’s easiest to deal with hardware-level and basic functionality systems at a huge cost.
