    If it makes you happier: other, non-trans related medicine is in a similar vein.

    Oh, you’re having sleep issues from your anticonvulsants? We can’t make you switch, until you tried a few other expensive matresses, went to an up to multi year long examinations for sleep issues, took benzos, and none of them helped. Also we are barring ourselves to switch you meds if you’re gaining weight from them, because you were supposed to be on a diet and switch your hobbies to sports.

    (TBH, a lot of sleep disorder stuff gets written off as “super health”, if the meds happened to make you sleep more.)





  • When Fidesz campaigned for getting elected in 2010, they only asked for one or two terms.

    Once they got elected, they asked until 2030.

    Around 2020, their think tanks claimed we can only think about a “post Fidesz society” after 2050.

    Meanwhile I’ve heard that some people within the party wanted to turn the words “liberalism” and essentially “democracy” into synonyms of “chaos”.

    The moment mothers scold their children for having a messy room by telling them there’s democracy in their room rather than anarchy, we have finally won, and turned democracy into an unthinkable ideology.







  • If you like Java’s syntax and you were thinking “what if someone made Java, but actually good”, then try out D!

    Positives include being extremely fast compile time, an optional garbage collector, and unlimited metaprogramming power.

    Negatives include AI slop seeping into development for “hype” reasons (likely will result in a schism), some devs think the solution for the unpopularity of the language is joining the never-ending tech hype cycle (one of its consequences being an optional borrow checker), and opting out the garbage collection is a bit of a struggle though doable, especially if you can live without D native classes through betterC (C++ classes are still available, though interop with external code is not 100%, as constructor mangling is even weirder than standard C++ symbol mangling) and use the C standard library for basic things (memory-safe strings in D are fat pointers, and C does not like that).


  • Rust is an “industry plant” language. There’s an active campaign to shield it from criticism, by claiming no part of the language has any drawbacks, and that all haters are Brian Lunduke fans angry about trans people. In reality, it is being pushed onto things where its strengths are more often shortcomings, such as game development, where it’s causing active harm, especially as you’d need something with an actual C++ interop, and not just a trendy language written by someone who got angry for management forcing them to write FactoryFactory classes for stuff that could been a single function. I get that Functional Programming is “mathematically correct”, but it shouldn’t be the only tool, and you just go back being the person who forced you to write the FactoryFactory class, just because they read Uncle Bob.
