Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death.

It’s not as bad as I expected.

A far more effective tool

Idk what you mean by ancillary pieces. I have a phone. That’s it. Nothing additional.

Why would I? My phone works fine tyvm

I get what he means and in most points I agree (I’ve worked primarily as a front end dev so far in my career), but as you get more familiar with these frameworks they tend to be so much faster to iterate on compared to a more “cleaner” setup. I’ve seen plenty of situations where using such frameworks were clearly overkill, but were still much faster to setup and were ready to be expanded on if needed in the future. Everything about the package ecosystem on web dev he’s 100% on point though. Things like the left pad situation are insane.

That we’ll probably only know after someone tries to test all the features without an active internet connection

It’s both local and remote, according to their page. There are some activities that run on a “private cloud”. I’d imagine that image creation is one of those

When I was a teen I really wanted to learn Esperanto but never got around to it. Globasa seems extremely interesting though, maybe I’ll finally give one of these languages a try.

The most hilarious part is the drummer stating that most SoaD music is not about politics, and people only think it is because of Serj’s activism

Ah yes, that’s perfectly valid, the terms will be different on context (which is why I specified the state context).

I didn’t know “human nature” was shorthand for “current capitalist states”.

Allegories can help explain theories, but they are never sufficient to understand it. Animal Farm is an allegory of a strawman, it barely touches reality. And it’s no wonder you are that embedded in propaganda, it’s normal.

Not really surprising, it’s complicated to make progress when every world power has it out for you.

You literally have it backwards. Communism in the context of a definition of society is the classless state. Socialism is the transitory stage (also known as a dictatorship of the proletariat).

Reminder that this is specifically when talking about state/society. If you are mentioning ideology then a communist person or a socialist might have significant diversion of views/goals. Yes, it can be confusing.

I recommend actually reading Marx and Lenin, and not fictitious allegories about strawmen

Honestly it varies a lot. I’m the kind of user that would rather have self contained apps (even if electron) whenever possible instead of new browser tabs/windows. So unless a electron app is notoriously bad, I’d rather have it avilable than not

This almost reads like satire

I’m constantly looking for something that could replace discord for me, I need something like the discord screen/game streaming to consider changing apps.

Public/gvt housing.

I wish I’d find something that is as easy and performant as discords in-server screen sharing/streaming.
