Now that the pendulum is clearly swinging toward the right, what are these "populist politicians" and "anti-establishment radicals" actually accomplishing? Are we seeing a real revolution, or just more of the same?

I feel like the cutting of DEI and wokeness, especially from Big Tech is just going to bring more of that crap to FOSS spaces and make the wokeness problems there much worse.

You are already seeing it now as even more people are ditching Twitter in favor of Mastodon and BlueSky. You also have European leftists boycotting all American companies out of fear that they may be funding trans genocide, so expect more of them embracing FOSS and ruining even more projects and services.

Despite all the bloated features that C++ has added over the years to the point that it is difficult to fully master, why has nobody bothered to make a string split method?

Hot take: I think more FOSS projects should go the Ardour business model and charge people for binaries. You'd be surprised to see how many people don't know how to compile from source or that they could legally get a binary for free from a mirror (provided that there is one).

You may think that this sounds scummy, but who cares? I think it's better than just simply relying on donations. This guarantees that at least some people will pay for the software because until someone redistributes it, the only way to get the latest release is to pay for the binary.

apparently asking microsoft copilot to make network diagrams doesn't go well. It spits out these horrors instead

for god's disdain's final trailer, i think i'm going to go with a bit of a different approach. so far the trailers i have made have been a bit more slow-paced and chill, which fits the vibe of the game overall.

for the final one though, i'm gonna go pure 90s "in your face" style and yell into a microphone with big flashy text and maybe even some really cheesy live action cuts.

i just think it would be funny to do that and it's an idea i've had kicking around for the past couple of months. hopefully i can get it done before the next fest on monday but if not that's okay. i wanted to start working on it a little bit earlier but i had a lot of other things to take care of.

Trump is the trojan horse for isreal, nwo, wef. All of this headline grabbing theatrical diversions. The behind the surface stuff is ushering in the nwo, 2030 agenda.

Ironic coming from someone who hates Mastodon for the lack of algorithmic manipulation.
