Watch out OP, big funny appreciator over here found your post sub par

Which is better in what way exactly?

You mean does the 80s-based protocol that doesn’t even support encryption support voice?

It doesn’t support having messages received while you were offline

IRC supports one and one thing only: N-wise chats to connected clients. That and delusional nerds who like to think they’re better than everyone else. Huge support for that too.

People who actually have sane standards for their instant messaging use the Matrix decentralized chat protocol when they need non-proprietary coms, or revolt

There’s got to be a new directive following this for the writers on those games: “Ensure the dialogue doesn’t matter”

How’s that gonna work?

And they can react to in-game state as well

If every action produces logs and the logs are given to every npc along with some flags, suddenly,

Just punched a guard? That goes in the context

Player is rich? That’s in the context

Wearing mage clothes? Context

It’s a cool way to increase immersion for not much effort without breaking anything in a traditional game

I guess printf “” > file

Either emulation is legal and you’re therefore okay with devs getting payment for tgeir labor or it’s illegal and they need to keep as low a profile as they can

I hate people who try to be on both sides

That is one savage fucking title

have a look yourself

Hint it’s not the old school tech that was the problem

He referenced a talk about programming made by a conservative guy called uncle bob, in a blog post and doubled down that he doesn’t care

The talk used to be referenced often but now less for both some of the technical principles falling out of fashion, and the author just pushing bad take after bad take thinking he’s 10 steps ahead while staying 20 steps behind because he can’t tell the difference. And also the conservative stuff

It was all just a “do we separate art from the artist” discussion

That’s insane

Also lol at the people getting mad at the tea maintainer for “name calling” the guy hired to write up the scam PR

Gig economy or not this idiot should have known better

Sometimes some programs and some downloads have weird slowdowns like this when my VPN is on, even though others remain completely unaffected

Factorio is priced appropriately

It’s less that it never goes on sale, more like it is always on sale

It looks a lot like win95. I don’t think anything you brought up is relevant

How’s the atlantic anything like the pacific?

• smaller
• not in the same spot
• doesn’t get the same amount of sun
• different countries in it
• doesn’t help you go to the same places by boat

Truly nothing in common. Might as well be comparing an apple to caulking a window

They fail on their promise of curbing the mods problem with a transparent modlog and active admins. It’s the same bunch of authoritarian kids as reddit and the power dynamics are unchanged, they make friends with each other and with the administrators and it’s exactly as hard to get one removed as it ever was on major lemmy instances

I prefer the federation where if a mod/admin’s bad you can just create a community with the same name on a different instance

Null pointers, runtime exceptions and try catch blocks in 2023

Discord was never usable for almost all handicaps
