Bandcamp, because it is the best place for independent music and there is nothing close to it.

Steam, because they started with non-horrible DRM (compared to other options) and now they are one of the companies that help Linux succeed for gaming (Steam Deck is just a Linux computer with controllers attached, and Proton is awesome for running Windows games on Linux).

Yeah it's an artificial dichotomy based on a popular misconception of what std::endl is and how \n is interpreted.

Ultimately it does not ask about line endings, but about flushing, which is a completely orthogonal question.

Important message. If this is not a better place, there is no point in it. We should leave all the toxicity outside. The internet could be nice, if people were nice.

Legale Drogen sind ein Genussmittel das man nicht als Coping-Mechanismus verwenden sollte. Aber einem bisschen Flucht aus der verrückten Welt ist schwer zu widerstehen.

Aber ganz in Ernst - ich kann nur empfehlen, emotionale Probleme vorher zu lösen. Ich hatte Angstprobleme, und die wurden regelmäßig verstärkt. Nachdem ich die Ursachen davon reflektiert und verarbeitet hab, fast gar keine schlechten Trips mehr.

My true faith is: don't be an asshole and be a decent, rational and empathetic human being.

Everything else I may or may not believe does not matter, it's decoration.

Nice bud. Home grown?

Not putting enough money into education of the population is a crime against humanity done by the wealthy class. It's a tragedy and it's infuriating and it's well understood, yet nothing ever changes, because education threatens the power of capital, while all that capital needs is cheap labor and stupid cattle consumers to support their "infinite growth".

Haha absolutely, I'm also one of the people who always said all this rainbow and green washing is bullshit. As if they ever cared for anything.

Capitalism has no values, except for one: shareholder value. Yesterday they help sending people to concentration camps, today they help saving the world and increasing diversity, yeah, totally convincing.

There is one thing to rely on with capitalism - if you convince people you can make good money with it or it is good for the brand, they will jump onto it and squeeze the shit out of it. An abstract, amoral force, made from a large number of concrete shitty people.

Software developer here.

I only recently switched from vim to VSCode and I refuse to use any editor without vim emulation.

Regular expressions for quick and efficient and precise search and replace, modal editing which allows me to type di" to 'delete inside current double quotes' (needs vim-surround plugin), typing 123gg to go to line 123, press % to switch between any pair of marching braces, brackets or parentheses, and all sorts of such efficient goodies.

It's not only efficient, vi has a whole concept, a philosophy how you can build quick editing commands. It's not like remembering random shortcuts like Ctrl-C Ctrl-V. Once you understand the language, it becomes second nature and you can translate something you want to do into 5 key strokes which would need 100 otherwise or would involve the mouse and clicking and selecting etc.

I'm not even that good at vim, I'm just using the surface features.

It has very good reasons why every notable editor provides some form of vi editing emulation.

The CBT self-help book I once randomly bought turned out to be pretty useful, even though I just quickly binge-read it and did almost none of the exercises.

Personal development and growth (ADHD edition, with new exciting difficulty levels and challenges)

Nice metaphor that I have not heard before !

Yeah exactly, the upside is, at least for some of us, that we still feel we overall can somehow keep up and can do pretty well, sometimes exceptionally so, even though everything feels like a chaotic struggle or failure.

Yes, exactly. To make America great again, Americans first have to take their country back from the oligarchs that are destroying it and sucking it dry. Noone else can or will do it for them.
