Yes, I know a guy like this. I’m not aware of his considerations of how he is able to separate science from religion, other than I guess the fact that they are two separate things.

“Put that Furby away! We have to go play Neopets.”

Ah, I think it uses JavaScript, not Java, so yeah it looks like it is a web app.

It’s quite impressive IMO that you are into open-source software even though you say you don’t know anything about computers, I’d say that counts as something, plus you know about Lemmy too. We all love open-source software here :)

Wait, is it a web app or does it use Java? Those are two distinctly different technologies.

It took me until my early 30s before I realized this. It’s time to begin. Let’s do this!

(Next year I am going to go travelling to Paris and likely Amsterdam too)

I hadn’t heard of the shinobi, I might have to check that out! Cheers.

I was also thinking old Thinkpad keyboards, and Dell membraine keyboards. Those were both widespread enough that nearly everyone back then had used them, and some of us still remember them lol

I’d say start with some of the most popular games, like Mario and Pokemon. Those are the two biggest video game franchises in the world, they’re very accessible and even decades later still a ton of fun.

edit: FWIW, Nintendo is a problematic video game company and trying to destroy video game preservation of their games (and trying to prevent community-run video game competitions/tournaments of their games), but they still have made some of the best video games of all time.

Okay, I’ll bite. How is y’all not the problematic part when it’s specifically referring to trans people in that case?

That certainly seems problematic to me.

But Zionism isn’t a religion, it’s a nationalist movement.

I might as well double down while I’m here, “we don’t take kindly” was too aggressive wording.

I meant something more neutral like “I think y’all are weird”.

That way, the y’all is the problematic part. That was my point.

As for “y’all” or “you all”, I don’t see how it could possibly be interpreted as offensive to any gender.

I think “we don’t take kindly to y’all” to a trans person would likely be offensive. Beyond that though, you’re probably okay.

That’s true, but that wasn’t my point. My point was that the majority of the population voted for someone who does have white-supremacist ideals - whereas Biden and Kamala do not.

America is a white-supremacist country.

I know that sounds controversial, but that’s the ideals of the president elect of the country, who won the popularity vote.

I’d word it more like “Sorry I don’t feel comfortable discussing my personal life at work”, that way it takes the onus off of the person and keeps it neutral.

Maybe that’s just me though, I haven’t worked in an office in 4 years.

Sounds like you’re doing well then. I do the same with contributing to FOSS (and I maintain a couple FOSS projects) and I teach younger devs at work, and have a blog (technically two), so I’m in the same boat.

Not being able to pass anything on - my knowledge and experience

I know this may sound like satire but you can write a blog and share your knowledge and experiences. It may seem weird at first, but it’s an actual option, and people could organically come across your blog, especially if you use the right keywords that they’re looking for.

I think even if they do reverse course or it was a genuine mistake, it’s easy to lose people’s trust forever, ESPECIALLY when it comes to something sensitive like storing ALL of your passwords.

That actually doesn’t sound that bad lol

For me, the biggest thing was the program not running from a single window. IIRC there was actually a separate fork of GIMP that made it run in a single window called GIMPshop or something, and that made it into a single window. I’m not sure when GIMP itself got single window functionality.

It’s a lot more usable these days.
