*Stockholm Syndrome / Stockholm Syndrome / Stockholm Syndrome + Autism

Now I need two things:

1. Wait until it becomes available.
2. Get my Zenit Helios lens cleaned in the inside and reassembly it correectly from my attempt at trying to get into it to clean it myself.

How do I run Paint Shop Pro 9 on Linux?

Want to make a code editor with me? You can give it a name then.

No, I’ll likely code it in D, with with blackjack and hookers!

No thanks, I’m rolling my own text editor with a GUI…

I want normal applications, that run on my computer I have at home!

I actually got into a fight over suggesting someone to use stock photos instead of grungy-smeary AI generated images for their (sh)articles, so at least I won’t believe it was too AI generated. Then they insisted on it being their own creation, and how they became an artist through words.

Likely one of those “free software” nerds…

Android is just boneless Linux, thus it’s being the most successful open source operating system. I guess the number of Android devices outnumber all the Macs.

Case sensitivity is so much of a problem, that in college, people were always told to keep all their filenames all lowercase, to avoid issues with them.

This XML parser of mine uses safe by default.

Pointers are not guaranteed to be safe. DIP1000 was supposed to solve the issue of a pointer referencing to a now expired variable (see example below), but it’s being replaced by something else instead.

int* p;
{
  int q = 42;
  p = &q;
}
writeln(*p);     //ERROR: This will cause memory leakage, due to q no longer existing

D has many memory safety features. For local variables, one should use pointers, otherwise ref does references that are guaranteed to be valid to their lifetime, and thus have said limitations.

That’s why I often recommend D instead.

Has a much more C-style syntax, except much more refined from the years of hindsight. The catch? No corporate backing, didn’t jump on the “immutable by default” trend when functional programming evangelists said for loops are a bad practice and instead we should just write recursive functions as a workaround, memory safety is opt-in (although “safe by default” can be done by starting your files with @safe:), some of the lead devs are “naive centrists” who want to “give everyone a chance at coding even if they’re bad people (nazis)”, implementing new changes to the lang has slowed down significantly up until the departure of Adam D Ruppe and the drama surrounding it, etc.

Just make it look uncool! Cigarettes’ image went from “cool” to “I’m 12 and I want to be taken seriously by mom/oh my god why did I even tried it”. From “hip” vaping, where should it’s image go? (Besides down the drain)

I’m very sad about kbin, I eve told Ernest that I’d volunteer with some admin work and potentially code (even if I despise PHP), but he declined, even when his health went really bad.

The security nightmare is reduced by a lot, thanks to Linux being a lot more safe system. Of course the occasional very old security issues get found, but those are only old if some swifty hacker found out and didn’t disclose it publicly, or had to wait for years to be solved.
