@thatsgood@wehavecookies.social @amydiehl@mstdn.social surely you do not think that USSR didn't have rampant misogyny.
Because it did. USSR essentially did the same thing as the west, it pushed women into the workforce while being extremely socially conservative otherwise. Workplace sexism followed.

RE: @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange

> The most toxic thing to happen in the F/OSS world is the attitude that some people are so smart (because they’ve created successful projects) that you cannot criticise them. The idea that, because someone created something good, they are infallible is disastrous for them, the projects they run, and the broader ecosystem.

This also ties in to the wider protestant moral framework where work is viewed as a moral good, making it easy to rationalize bad people who are productive as being net neutral

@nyx @shana while not quite a for-loop, in lazy languages that have bignums, you could yield partial sums forever, at least until your sum grows to millions of digits

@david_chisnall the only thing I'm annoyed by with open-source and free software people, is when they claim that licenses that explicitly forbid corporate use are not ideologically compatible with their movement.

@chrysn@chaos.social @nyx@lgbtqia.space @shana@mastodon.gamedev.place damn, that's an interesting thought. IIRC, it would actually be permissible for a C++ compiler to do this, since infinite loops without side-effects are UB by spec.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place something about how this CRT effect interacts with the dithering and perhaps whatever compression the screenshot has, leaves the result looking like an old FMV game

@wincenworks@mastodon.social @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place Real. The age of every browser having weird incompatible quirks in handling very basic things are long gone, JS is almost a sane language, CSS got variables and nesting, HTML is still as usable a markup language as ever.

@epage feels like a lot of active rust contributors have recently been affected in similar ways. A bit worrying, hope it's not a recession indicator.

RE: @jon_dog@mastodon.social

My objection to this blog is as follows:

The abuse of workers in the global south by western platform capitalism is in fact a product of enshittification. Offshoring content moderation? That's enshittification. Replacing those workers with models trained on the products of their labour is also enshittification. It both makes the platform worse, and it also takes away those jobs entirely.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @catsalad@infosec.exchange My social media take is that we should strive to remove the "low contribution" buttons, that is: likes and reposts, and leave only quotes and comments. If a person starts writing "I agree with this post" they may end up continuing "because so and so", and end up contributing something. A like button does not give this opportunity. With reposts it is even worse, because you're taking posts out of context, without adding any of your own. You wouldn't just post a link to something, without explaining what it is, and why you're sharing it, right? No reason for reposting with no comment to be socially acceptable.

@nyx@lgbtqia.space you can't evaluate an infinite sum, unless your definition of evaluation includes analytical realization that the sum is in fact infinite.

@nyx@lgbtqia.space well that's the thing, that doesn't fit my, a not-mathematician computer guy, definition of "evaluation". Yes, you can prove that that sum converges to 1, but you very much do not do that by straightforwardly evaluating it term by term.
