That’s true, they’d say welfare Queen or something

It’s just the kind of shit a con would say just to fuck with people

I don’t think these types of challenges are, in any way helpful or in our collective benefit.

Or hang on to it for when that doesn’t matter at all.

Aziz! LIGHT!

That’s what we just tried (over the past century), when we gave an inch they took the whole god damn country. I don’t think the compromise approach will ever work.

It’s not irony, it’s authoritarians!

Let’s just water down that word until it means nothing…

Was just before Christmas

I just bought a year of it :(

I feel like if one tried to follow all of these “rules” at all times nothing would get done, at all.

I learned everything I know about c# by looking it up on Google, copy and paste is king. Just keep working with it until you can make sense out of the code you’re copying. An llm would work similar but might feed you bs, everything you’ll want to know is on stack overflow. You’re unlikely to have an original, unasked question…I never have.

Check out this reference (not mine): https://gist.github.com/DanielKoehler/606b022ec522a67a0cf3

The first difference that I would point out is c# use of static typing, where python is dynamic. This author is using the var keyword to avoid specifying a type for variables. The type is, instead infered by the code that follows the equals sign.

The next main difference is the use of whitespace. Python is very whitespace aware, it uses indentation and line breaks to organize code. C# is whitespace agnostic in most cases and separates blocks of code using curly braces {…}, statements must end with a semicolon;

In C# collections are organized by how the data is accessed and whether elements can be added or removed. Arrays are initialized with a set of items and can’t be made longer, a List can be added to and can be removed. The key point is that all items in a collection are of the same type.

Complex objects (that have properties and methods) can be structs, classes, or records but they all basically do the same thing and interact in the samish way. You have to use the new keyword to make a new instance.

Classes and records can inherit from another where as structs cannot. Properties must have a type, methods must return a type or void. Method parameters must be typed, when calling a method the provided parameters must be of the proper type.

An interface describes requirements an implementing class, record or stuct must meet (i.e. properties and methods). You can’t make a new interface, it’s more of a qualification.

I hope this helps some

Ok, I’m in for $2 /month too, thanks for setting the standard!

C# is a great language, I don’t know much about game dev but I know unity and godot game engines have good support for c#. You can target Windows/Linux/Mac on all the common architectures. All the build tools are available on the command line if that’s your thing.

The relatively new Nostr protocol is a very interesting decentralized option. It uses relay servers to provide a secure connection between two (or more) clients which maintain the data, nothing is “stored” on the relay.

I want the issue of mass surveillance / data collection to be addressed, instead of this bs which is basically working around the edges the problem. Tick-tock shouldn’t be allowed to sell (/provide) user data to anyone but neither should Meta, X, reddit, etc.

No, they’re both bad.

Lol

What is the social security system was run by China?

That’s your great analogy. This is a social media company. Gtfoh

It’s a bad analogy. Mass surveillance (continuous collection of everyone’s data) has very little to do with the number we use to track social security payments.
