Exactly, if garbage collection meant memory safety then why do we get null pointer exceptions about every 5 minutes in Java. Garbage collection is about memory leaks, not safety. Imho the borrow checker is a better solution than garbage collection and faster to boot.

It’s been about 20 years since I’ve touched PHP. So i don’t remember all the problems i had with it.

But some language from those times were at least consistent with itself and clearly more thought-out. Even though they might miss some of the nicety we’ve come to like nowadays. Of course for web development there weren’t many better choices back then.

But I’m heavily skewed towards non-oo, static typed, explicit languages so PHP was probably never for me.

I somewhat know the history of PHP and how it came to be. And that it was just a personal project that suddenly got big. So I don’t blame the creator. But that still doesn’t make it a good language.

Let’s be honest though. The early PHP versions were absolute dog shit. And the definition of how not to design a programming language. That said, that never stopped anyone in web development from using it apparently. No clue what modern PHP looks like, apparently it’s better now.

It was a pure money grab to not have done this for everyone automatically. I lost my Minecraft copy too because of this. But no way in hell I’m going to give them the satisfaction of buying it again… I had it since the Minecraft beta/early access(?) too…

They might get lucky and get a free meat grinder out of it! Or is a free hand-out to socialistically woke?

So Google maps should be shut down too? Or you could use it to find a route to someone who has been doxxed for free! This logic is really flawed…

Wasn’t Trump all about draining the swamp? And now that there is a swamp to drain he pussy’s out? I guess TACO really was accurate.

Convicted felon and somehow she doesn’t count herself in the group of criminal immigrants that will be deported. Major face-palm? She most definitely will be deported though. I wonder what she will say then.

Neglect, she knew apparently it wasn’t a good idea, yet she still did it. Even just locking her kids in the car for 2.5 hours unattended should be considered neglect, no matter the temperature.

Is there really a plan to use this for 911 services??

Maybe so, but that’s a decision they make. Surely I as customer shouldn’t be taken away what i paid for because of that? And if so they should have mentioned clearly upon sale that they would take away my product after 3-4 years (though maybe that’s the case in those dense ToS?) . Everything else should be considered illegal and fraudulent if they planned/knew it from the start. Which is the case if it’s a licensing issue

Besides, I’m pretty sure after those 4 years the code is outdated and they could renegotiate the license to be more open to release a binary.

That’s why i also said provide, not just open source. They can release a binary.

This is just pure fabricated bullshit. They themselves started limiting options. Remember the old days where you could host your own server with basically any game? They took that away, not us. So they themselves are 100% responsible for this ‘uprising’. Besides they could just provide/open-source the backend and disable drm. Hardly any work at all.

But of course it’s not about that. They just try to hide behind this ‘limits options’ argument. But they simply don’t want you to be able to play their old games. They want you to buy their latest CoD 42.

I never said i was outraged or not. But at least when i game and being morally deplorable, I’ve actively chosen to do so with intent. That’s still way better than them deciding for me to waste the energy when i don’t even use the result. If you don’t see the difference there isn’t much to talk about here.

So did anyone in the world actually expect them to be at that price though? I mean has anything Musk promised in the last ten years not turn out to be a blatantlie? Anyone who had high expectations of the cyber truck just lied to themselves, they had absolutely zero reason to believe any of the promises were going to be met.

Hence why I said if I don’t actively avoid them. I used those services before AI was a thing. So it was not my decision.

The outrage is no comparable because games aren’t forced down your throat. I’ve never once asked for an AI summary of something, yet I see them constantly if I don’t actively avoid them, so I’m indirectly incurring those costs.

It’s the same thing after brexit. I cant find the source anymore. But something like 6000 non-immigrants signed up for farm work and only like ten showed up. And none stayed longer than two days. So it’s not like they didn’t have a recent example of how this would turn out.

Apple livea on the notion of ‘a fool and his money are soon parted’ and can you blame them? They are one of, if not the, most profitable companies around. If it works why change it.
