  • I understand your perspective but at the end of the day all you’re doing is justifying why you should be able to disregard this guy’s blog post under the premise that he comes off as someone who’s full of himself.

    At the end of the day vaxray’s ability to state that “almost all the other compositors suck beyond opening terminal windows” should be tied to whether or not the statement is true/justifiable; it shouldn’t be tied to whether or not people can’t stand the optics of it.


  • I’m not the one going around making statements that imply reliable wayland compositors can just be readily whipped up and shipped out.

    You can complain about the guy’s ego if you feel like he’s talking up his product too much, but if you’re going to reject valid statements he’s making under the assumption that they’re all self-motivated and therefore incorrect, then you should be able to justify the position.

    Honestly C imo is not that bad. It’s actually a very small specification. There’s not much to it. The actual amount of code you’d need to create a working C compiler is relatively tiny.

    It stuck around all this time because concepts like null-terminated strings, arrays decaying to pointers, etc. are all very intuitive if your working in a language that’s built to be as minimalistic and simple as possible.

    If you understand these things I’d say you’re already past the learning curve. Now just make sure you remember exactly how type definitions are parsed so that contrived type declarations don’t cause you to lose marks on an exam.

    The difficulty with C imo comes with people needing programming concepts abstracted away from them because they never actually learned how their computer represents or processes data.



  • That’s not the same as content distribution.

    Sharing content to clients cannot be effectively done through creative cloud.

    It does not make sense to try and stop the distribution at the level of video editing. Not only is the thought of child predators making regular use of professional editing software completely absurd, but even if you assume they do, why the fuck do you think they would use the inbuilt cloud sharing tools to do so?? They would just encrypt the contents and transmit it over any other file sharing service…

    It makes no sense to implement this measure because it does absolutely nothing to impede criminals, but enables a company well known for egregious privacy violations unprecedented access to information completely law abiding clients have legitimate reasons to want to keep private.

    It is a farce. A smokescreen intended to encroach on customers precious data all the while doing nothing to assist law enforcement.




  • "a full lifting of the blockade is required "

    In other words “Hamas must be allowed to import whatever armaments they desire”

    Go check yourself into the hospital for brain damage if you think this is remotely tenable.

    If you wanted to argue that they should just allow more food in or something I might have been able to have a conversation with you but clearly you just want to see Jews being indiscriminately murdered.




  • Open air prisons? With a population density less than that of a typical american city? Malnutrition wasn’t even a problem before the war. This open air prison narrative is just pure bullshit.

    As for “controlling the flow of goods in and out” you have absolutely no legs to stand on. Even with import inspections in place Hamas has been consistently firing rockets into Israel hoping to murder random civilians since their inception.



  • The last paragraph is not at all wrong. Lots of people other than Hamas want Israel to completely cease existing as a state. If you disagree with the sentiment that Israel should be able to have SOME land (and by extension the fact that chants like “from the river to the sea” are antisemetic) then you yourself are one of them.

    Hamas was the official party recognized by Palestinian voters. If you have an issue with Israel acquiescing to their demands in order to maintain some sense of stability then you have no right to suggest they intentionally tried to sabotage relations.
