I wish it were as simple as deleting my accounts with meta, Google and Microsoft. University requires I have MS, Android effectively requires I have Google and if get rid of Facebook I’ll lose access to marketplace, my local community and people will probably just not talk me

I’m gen z so maybe it’s embarrasing that I’ve got no understanding of this slang

Also GitHub has full-text search and doesn’t filter profanities if you’re looking for material

It might seem crazy but, I can’t complain about a politician trying to represent and speak to young Australians. I got a good laugh out of the speech despite not knowing what she was talking about

Do Palestine/Israel next. It’s okay when our friends do it

That’s interesting, but given that it is a two-seat electorate there might be multiple candidates from each party as well. They should probably have a by-election for both seats to be balanced

Have you ever seen him in person? think about it.

Exactly

100%. I’m not a child but I’ve learned so much about people through lemmy, getting to be a part of society without sharing any personal information

Whilst I agree that AI shouldn’t be used in elections, would a ban on such use lull people into a false sense of security?

Such regulation would significantly harm small sites which get dragged into this making fediverse instances in Australia untenable, meaning only the large platforms have the resources to comply. The internet is dangerous, yes. But the internet is also good. The internet provides information, and in a democracy nothing should be done to limit the flow of information.

Is it like commsec but cheaper?

Pyramid Scheme?

This has got to be the weakest “Labor” government ever. The failure to adequately promote the Voice to Parliament, the recent watering down of environmental protection legislation to appease the Coalition (instead of experts and the Greens) and the administration of a union. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer this over the Coalition any day of the week and I know they need to compromise to get stuff through the senate. The failure to scrap AUKUS and condemn Israel is also appalling.

They’re just a small business trying to carve out an honest living in this difficult world. I think we should give them a hand

Developers who are not willing to learn something new and not adapt are the worst

I think you mean people in general. Life is short, try some stuff, take risks

Does it show in the post body?

Wow I wish Clem Jones hadn’t come along and ruined our tram network

What do you mean? He solved the trolley problem. Now there’s no moral responsibility.

I’ve been keeping an eye on bevy, it looks really cool. I’ll probably make something with it one day when their ECS gets support for entity relationships (which appears to be in the pipeline). A really cool project though, basically looks like everything I’ve wanted out of a C++ engine which I can’t really use due to build system mixing.

Was that “The C Programming Language”? I learned C from that after a bit of C++ and it made everything make so much sense. C is refreshingly simple.

I’ve heard templates are a thing of note when it comes to complications but not sure

It’s funny because that is the one feature I really wish C had, I can live without member functions but templates or even a good generics system would be great. I did some C# with MonoGame and FNA. Language has gotten better as of late but idk about performance, way better than VB.
