To be fair, it's called "intelligent", not "omnipotent" design, but still.

Those types always claim omnipotency as well. So you'd expect an omnipotent being to make it perfect for everyone. Since it isn't, the being's either ignorant or sadist. Or, wait for it - a fucking fairy tale. And with ignorancy one can hardly claim a respectable level of intelligence.

Wait... Are you meaning to say UN is run by Hamas all along?

Well, the electoral college isn't actually FPTP, it's even worse than that.

I wonder how Reagan's is doing

Oh. Thanks, then I had it the wrong way. I still remeber it from school and going to the doctor as a kid. Must've swapped them.

I always thought while both serve both functions, paracetamol was more on the antipiretic side (i.e. lowers body temperature) while ibuprofen was more of an analgetic (pain reliever).

Also, you can take both at once although then you shouldn't take them as long. And always take the minimum effective dose (or preferably none if you can manage), but that applies to OTC non-prescribed medicine, not just to these two.

Yeah. Tbh, I always wondered why programming languages weren't translated.

I know CS is all about english, but at least the default builtin functions of programming languages could get translated (as well as APIs that care about themselves).

Like, I can't say I don't like it this way (since I'm a native english speaker), but I still wonder what if you could translate code.

Variables could cause problems (more work with translation or hard to understand if not translated). But still - programming languages have no declentions and syntax is simpler so it shouldn't even compare to "real" languages with regards to difficulty of implementation.

You forgot a million switches for each "partner". More like prostitution.

Tenacity is a telemetry-free fork of Audacity for a start

If there is no IP then why would you bother creating or inventing?

People would. Companies, not so much.

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

That couldn't have been the point.

Companies use (read: abuse) IP to keep an artificial, government-sanctioned monopoly they use to extract money from users. Add to that skins, microtransactions, lootboxes, yearly releases and all the other vilest shit you can find in a modern videogame and you'll see it isn't about the studio staying afloat - it's abuit the publisher raking in the $$$.

People who are creatives take it as a point of pride when their work is spread, remade and remixed. What they do not like is if that remaking and remixing is done by a soulless company in the vilest and most soulless way to generate profits. Oh, and except for thise with the best deals, IP stays with the company.

It's not about cratives "not being paid enough" so they need IP protection - it's the very same companies whose IP is protected who don't pay their workers enough. IP doesn't bring money to workers directly nor does it protect workers from anything since again - the IPs are owned by the studio/publisher.

Call it "personal feelings", but it's how the world works.
