@nicholas @beardalaxy A lot of people were off the Trump train after COVID, I think if he fails to deliver his promises this time, it will be the final nail in the coffin for him and maybe the political system for the right.
@PurpCat @beardalaxy Most of the "elections are scripted" conspiracy theorists believe that they are going to rig it for Trump, either to pacify people or because he will better support Israel.

Yet, people don't realize that neither one of them is for open boarders nor closed boarders (at least in the absolute sense). I think even Trump is still on board with mass Indian immigration.
@beardalaxy Trump is making huge promises. I feel like it's either he's going to have to fulfill those promises or the masses are going to revolt.
COVID has already destroyed a lot of faith that people still had in government. I don't think that even the most diehard Trump supporters can tolerate any more broken promises.
@wowaname @bonkmaykr I'm talking about having a JavaScript file for writing the links for the sites navigation. So I can just edit the JS file instead of each page.
I know you could also do that with server-side scripting or a static-site generator, but sometimes I just want to get things done and have it run on any webserver.
@wowaname @bonkmaykr Does this mean that I should stop using JavaScript to load navigation bars?

Ian Freeman should be a household name alongside Ross Ulbricht and Roger Ver.
He is a political prisoner who is being punished for facilitating anonymous cryptocurrency usage.
@cjd That liquid is adhesive. If you watch the video they even turn the glass upside down and it's still stuck to the bottom of the glass.
@djsumdog Gemini is terrible. ChatGPT is at least decent at boilerplate stuff.
Not necessarily programming, but I find it really useful for generating HTML5 templates without the bloat (no unnecessary JavaScript or CSS frameworks).
LibAlleg does not have a guide on framerate-independent game logic, which makes removing the FPS cap difficult. No worries, I could do multithreading.
Except for some ungodly reason, the renderer is hard-capped at 60 frames per second, agnostic to my own code. This is "120"
I only found this out the hard way when my timescale math inadvertently caused the publisher intro to be twice as long instead of just being double the framerate.
At that time I had not implemented a delta timer because I was relying on Allegro's event timers for pacing, so I had no way of viewing the framerate until I took this screenshot. You can probably imagine the hours I wasted trying to fix my code not realizing what was happening.
*sigh* time to contact the IRC again...
