@22 My personal position is even more radical: Universities should not provide any grades at all. If industry wants to rank students by grade, they should organise the assessment themselves. We are there to educate, not to rank.

To be clear, this doesn't mean that legitimate discussion cannot be had about the relative merits of some programming languages vs. others, but when someone tries to define that specifically along the axis of "scripting vs. programming language", that's incredibly sus
(Basically it's the techbro equivalent of a dogwhistle, a derogatory term for "not a Real Man programming language")
Reminder that "scripting languages" are not a thing that exists outside of a game development / macro context, and people using it in programming discourse (almost always in bad faith) are typically either necrocomputing enthusiasts or your typical toxic-masculinity C bros, or both

one of the main reasons to have a collection of faintly ridiculous smalltime hobbies is that it helps divert some of the nerdbrain impulses into mostly-harmless domains so you don't wind up applying them directly to stuff that matters, like friendships or operating a civilization.

If you think that the problem with antifa is that some of them are violent towards nazis, well, I don't know what to tell you.

custom filters that give me the option of displaying them continues to be one of my favorite recent mastodon features.
Something stresses me out? I can just silence it myself, but I can still see that it's happening so when I'm ready I can crack it open. Or in this case, ignore it entirely because AI generated stuff is fucking bullshit and you bet to hell I'm judging all y'all for going gaga over statistical machines based on plagiarism.

subtoot about this meme of "first they came for the journalists"
Maybe if journalists had covered all the marginalized groups with violence directed at them as if it weren't a debate with two sides they wouldn't suddenly think that they're the people the gov't "came for first" because god damn that meme is insulting.
Y'all are *not* the people they came for first, and you'd know that if you treated the previous victims as worthy of overwhelming and unambiguous coverage.

basically if you say “well, it’s not for me to determine whether abuse has occurred, so you and your abuser will just have to share space” that’s a red flag

@Rubz @notjustbikes it's still easier to live here without using a car all the time than is the case in most other countries (I've written about that as well, see below) but we're not heading in a good direction.

@Rubz @notjustbikes Unfortunately we Dutch are not only buying and using cars more and more, but at the same time our bicycle sales are falling off a cliff. This is the inevitable outcome of our right wing politics. We have policies which reward car usage while we've done little over the last two decades to encourage people to travel by other modes, and this is very bad for our country.

Am I imagining things, or has Lidl been removing animal-derived ingredients from a lot of their products lately?
