Th4tGuyII, to programmer_humor in Not mocking cobol devs but yall are severely underpaid for keeping fintech alive

Who would've thought a sector with gold flowing through its hands would be so stingy when it comes to updating their backend that they'd end up relying on a dying language, and call upon AI to update it for them rather than just paying a competent team to create and rigorously test a new backend in a modern language

Th4tGuyII, to asklemmy in Why is *all* of Lemmy filled with Anti Israel content?
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

There's plenty of nuance to be had here, but there's a clear cut reason as to why many are steering towards Anti-Israel, and it's not Judaism.

It is true that Hamas has slaughtered innocent civilians, and Israel absolutely had to respond...

But how on Earth can you sit there and side with a country who's reaction to a terrorist attack was to commit human rights violations and start a genocide against innocent civilians of that nationality?

Do you mean to tell me that bombing hundreds of innocent Palestinians, and then cutting off essential water and electricity to many more is a warranted response to any of this?

Also, since I keep seeing this - stop with the "Anti-Israel = Anti-Semite" crap - Israel is a Jewish state, not Judaism itself. This is the equivalent of saying Saudi Arbia represents all of Islam because of Mecca, or that the Vatican city represents all of Christianity.

Criticising Israel for playing a game of morality limbo with the Hamas isn't an attack on Judaism, nor is it advocating for any kind of hatred towards Jewish people.

Though let's be honest, if you won't even take a Jewish person's word for it that your take is shite, you're never gonna take mine.

Th4tGuyII, to asklemmy in How many tabs do you have open?
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

As someone who is anal about closing tabs, the answers in this thread hurt my soul.

Genuine question, why so many tabs? What are you using them all for??

Am I full of shit for putting down GCHQ, or for copy-pasting their address and not realising they'd added a second "Cheltenham" to it for no reason?

Th4tGuyII, (edited ) to asklemmy in Why do people hate on mobile games, call them "not real games" and mock them, when some mobile-exclusive games are the best games I've played?
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

Personally I won't judge people for playing mobile games, there are some good ones out there, but most of the ones I've seen seem very streamlined towards player monetisation, or are slot-machines by a different name - it's the same reason I often won't play "Free to Play" games on PC either.

I'm curious as to what genre of games you play, because some absolutely would benefit from touchscreens (i.e. visual novels, point-and-click games), but I can imagine most others would fare better with traditional controls (even at the expense of portability)

Edit: Having actually seen these games you refer to, I can see they're very much part of that former category, and are very reminiscent of flash minigames I played as a kid. I would personally consider minigames as a different thing to games proper, as they're much more shallow experiences, so maybe that is what you're running into with people saying they're "not real games"

Exactly. The government isn't your friend. To your government you're a cog in the machine and nothing more - misbehave and they'll rip you out and replace you with another

Because we're becoming increasingly like the US, where half of the country (or at least those who actually turn out to vote) are hellbent on voting for a party that doesn't give a single shit about their needs, just as long as they drivel out some racist shit now and again.

As @breadsmasher said, “Torys fucking the country? Better vote for them again!”

Who could've known he'd end up doing the exact opposite of what he said by desperately trying to cling to power, even going so far as to try to coup the government

Th4tGuyII, to science_memes in Nuclear power? That's just steam power with extra steps!
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

Kyle Hill has done so much good in combating the absolute minefield of fearmongering and misinformation surrounding Nuclear power.

As long as you play by the rules, it's incredibly safe. It's when you start taking shortcuts and start fucking around that you find out... and there are plenty of things more likely to kill you than nuclear.

Th4tGuyII, to linuxmemes in Need to switch to Hanna Montana Linux now
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

While I'm not bothered by this in particular, like other people have said, it feels like the top of a very slippery slope that I would be bothered by

Th4tGuyII, to comicstrips in Reject modernity, embrace tradition!

I'm scared to ask, but what is a "situationship"?

Living every rich man's dream - lie in a pool all day and go safari hunting without a licence. What more could one possibly need??

Th4tGuyII, to memes in Almost that time of year
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

Exactly. Thought it dumb when I was younger, but now it's a great thing!
Makes me wonder how old OP is?
