Oh kids were still doing this at my high school 3 years ago.
Well it’s like my grandmother always used to say: “Capitalism is like a death trolley barrelling down 1000 miles of track towards you”
There’s a project I could have written in Rust. Maybe some of the headache wouldn’t have ever happened using Rust.
I also didn’t know Rust at the time and it was a large project with unkind deadlines. I think the right tool for the job can also depend on available resources. So while the more unsafe, older tool I used caused a few small issues that Rust would not have; the project wouldn’t have been finished if I’d used Rust.
I do believe they were referring quite specifically to the politicians, since on every side it seems politicians are disconnected from their constituents and do things those constituents absolutely wouldn’t (this isn’t some bizarre both-sides argument btw, just general frustration at the state of things)
I’ve seen you a bit on a few of these posts, always defending these companies’ behavior. I tend to disagree with your stance. While I do understand that the infrastructure behind the sites I use is not free (trust me, I run some sites myself and my pitiful little things are expensive), I also do not think punishing users for adblock is justified. Neither is scraping as much data as can be gathered for further sale. Advertising can be very intrusive anymore and data collection from sites is no different. It’s not that the sites want to make money; it’s their insistence that the user is the product. Just pay walling the service would be much less scummy and unjustifiable than this nonsense.
I’d use Desktop if it worked, unfortunately recently it decided that I don’t have read/write access to a repo I’m working on. Works fine in git CLI so idk what the problem there is.
Pizza Hut has a program called “BOOK IT!” which many classrooms across the country enrolled in. Teachers (or Parents over the summer or in cases of homeschool) can set a reading goal for the student and, when they reach it, can award them a coupon for a free personal pan pizza
