How would you know? You don't actually understand the code. It could be making shit up, and you'd never have any idea

Seriously dude, if you run into code you don't understand, take the time to actually understand it, or else you'll never actually improve

When I was in college for a CS degree, just about every single classmate I asked said they were planning on going into game dev, when you have entire graduating classes all gunning for the same positions in a relatively niche field, you can pay peanuts and still fill roles

One thing to keep in mind is to think about what kind of person actually participates in polls, and how that type of person will tend to lean politically (hint, old retired people)

That being said, fascism has happened continuously all throughout history for a reason. people like it when they think it's on "their side". A lot of conservative voters genuinely think America would be a better place if the democratic party was forcibly eliminated, and so they're not only fine with what Trump is saying, they're enthusiastic about it.

Combine the human tendency for populism with decades of conditioning from outlets like Fox News that conservatives are the only "real Americans" and that the "radical left" is hell bent on destroying their lives, raping babies, and turning their sons into daughters, and you have a large population of voters who genuinely think that democracy is bad if it means "the other side" gets to win.

Many Fascist movements start out with enthusiastic support from at least a large chunk of their population (Hitler was elected), by the time people realize that fascism only ever actually benefits those at the top, it's too late

Was going to comment the same thing - you could even grab some extra keycaps to label em properly

Yeah, but they were brown doctors and children, so it's OK

Edit: did I really need a /s?

Because when supply chains got fucked up during COVID, they raised their prices for legitimate reasons, and found to their delight that people kept on buying, and In fact, because people were panic shopping, and stuck at home bored, they actually bought more.

So when things calmed down, instead of lowering prices, they continued to rise. because if they didn't, they'd be making less profit than last quarter (which is unacceptable)

Combine that with the wage stagnation that's been going on for decades and a housing shortage and you now have an economy where people can't afford rent, food, or basic goods

I'm terrified for our next junior dev hire if this is common among beginners now lol

That's really interesting given how it's an important aspect of most other popular faiths

100% agree, without it, the decentralization aspect is severely weakened

Yeah honestly hearing it describes as being full of neo Nazis is wild lol, it's almost more left leaning than Lemmy

So pretty much the same as prosumer cameras - from what I understand, a decent lens can cost easily as much or more than the actual DSLR
