Yeah it’s not like it’s 14 years old or something like that!

I think that’s a slight pun.

The “-archy” part comes from the greek for “to rule/command”. Monarchy = rule by a king, oligarchy = rule by few, etc.

And the “an-” part means “not” or “without”. So anarchy technically means “not ruled” or “without rule” - but if things are still being ruled, it would still be an “archy”, not a “not archy”.

I think you have missed the mark with this. It doesn’t make sense logically, and seems more like an emotional (understandably so) response.

I’m not sure that’s true.

Let’s realistically entertain your point: You say he should sell his assets to get money, so he can give it to the poor, basically (correct me if I’m wrong).

The yacht and other stuff, probably bought with a loan, insured by Steam’s value. His real assets is, like, Steam.

I don’t know if you already see where this is going, but from clarity: If people would buy parts of that - the parts are called “shares”, and the people who buy them “shareholders”. That is a public company. Which now has a LEGAL OBLIGATION to make as much money as possible. Meaning all that enshittification coming along with it eventually, too.

The chance that they agreed on that and she wouldn’t mention it is slim, though

Yeah…

Maybe the article is even good.

But I’ll never know, because you immediately advertised yourself to me as slop.

Yeah recently had this happen in the. Net world for some projects: They went from free to commercial or some other reason, and then people quickly forked the last version before that. All with that idea that they’re the defenders of what was good about it.

But let’s face it, if you had anywhere near the interest and commitment to that subject matter, you’d already be maintaining a competing project, or be helping at the original one.

I think people are enticed by the glory of having a repo with many stars, but have no realistic idea how much of their time this would eat up if they were serious about it.

Well, there ARE torpedoes that pretend to be a ship in order to trick ships and other torpedoes to go for them, instead of the submarine that fired it.

But yeah “specifically” designed to sink ships sounds weird when that’s what most of them, with only few exceptions, do.

If I ask for a burger and you give me a good fake meat patty, I’m happy.

If I ask for a burger and you give me a mushroom sandwich or bruschetta or anything like that, I will check for signs of stroke in both of us

we’re talking about regular people

I thought we’re talking about Hüseyin Dogru?

Ja aber ok, musst du dann schon zugeben dass “sollen die halt sein lassen” jetzt seit Dekaden schon nicht zu funktioniert.

Ich hab jedenfalls nicht die Hoffnung, dass es 2027 auf einmal klappt.

Partly… Look at the original Nazis. The nazi part is usually added to make the distinction with different periods - but for that period, the whole nation is referred to as nazi Germany.

The only way this answer could have been more hung up on the letter instead of the spirit of that comment, would be if you had said “with just your eyes you can watch a video explaining that the world is round”.

Actually it’s interesting, because I guess they’re musicals, but they’re not filling them with, like, musical music anymore.

Instead it’s now just pop songs, you know, standard verse-chorus pattern etc., because then it can get in the charts and make more money that way.

We probably won’t get anything close to a “Poor unfortunate souls”, “Bear neccessities” or “Be prepared” ever again.

My whole comment was that I’m not sure what the point is, because that’s not how it works in reality. So if you actually want to know, you’ll have to ask the author of the comment above me.

But if the best of what you can do with it doesn’t make sense, then why do it? It’s not like it’s helping, just distracting from the parts that DO work.

And kind of the same thing again: The universe wasn’t born with forms, either.

When we did a project for a redesign of our web app at work, when I showed stuff to the UXer he said “I see this is designed by a programmer. Because a programmer says: But it works.”

And indeed, that is how all of the comments I read here feel; that things like a denounced search are just irrelevant toys, instead of a solid part of the toolkit of a professional modern developer.

To make it “pretty”? That’s more CSS I would say, and JS would be more about UX.

Which I haven’t seen anybody here mention. Which is kinda giving antisocial nerds with hobby projects? I mean, in professional development you learn very quickly how ux is correlated to helpdesk tickets.

Like, we can talk about technical purity excercises all day, but code doesn’t exist for its own sake.

You ask the librarian how often the word “arrow” is in Lord of the Rings, and they have to tell you?

It was night Ryu?

Already any plans for becoming childless?
