You can say the same things about sports betting.

It’s fucked up for sure. Investing is akin to gambling in Vegas. Any one otherwise inconsequential detail could completely bankrupt you, and we’re expected to pin our elder years on this system.

Burn in fucking Hell Raegan.

Because the Scandinavian Rakesnake is blue and white, not orange and black.

For anyone out of the loop. It’s a classic cartoon gag.

Because an official anime boy mascot would be too apropos?

She’d owe a dollar at the end of each day. Which means she would lose money being on Spotify.

My question is why is this a backend universal question? This should be a per user/instance frontend solution; meaning I would curate my communities into a group on @lemmy.world and it’s unique to me.

Now I should be able to export or share my groupings if I want, and it should be read-only in the sense that if I post, I post to a single community and not the group as a whole. The only thing a backend should do is allow the frontend to retrieve posts from multiple communities in one call.

In other words, keep it simple.

It puts the lotion in its skin, or it gets the hose again.

I found this site which might help you in your search.

Food for thought (no pun intended), but unless you’re willing to build an app (could be a great app; I doubt you’re the only person who could use this), you might be over engineering this quite a bit. A spreadsheet could be made to do what you’re looking for, with much less effort.

Stanford has a free introduction course. There is also edX.

Now, I’ve only taken an introduction into cybersecurity at a graduate level, and I will say it’s a difficult career path to master. I’m not saying that to dissuade you, but rather give you a reasonable expectation of the level of effort. But it’s a super fascinating area of computing, and it’s certainly not going away any time soon.

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention Bioinfomatics where you could put your existing medical knowledge to use in a computing career.

A lot of technical positions are not getting replaced by computers. Especially cybersecurity.

Also a lot of your comments here are eerily similar to the transphobic racists on Xitter that I personally saw when I found myself in one of their toxic AF echo chambers

We’ll thank you for letting me know that is how it’s coming across. If it makes any difference, it’s not my intention or desire. I will revise my approach.

You’re absolutely right; if that’s what was happening. And anybody who would take a piss in the stew should be kicked the fuck out immediately. I agree with you.

What I see being glossed over about my post is that I’m criticizing how developers were banned for asking questions or making non-“piss in the stew” statements. Someone made a statement that they’d prefer to see development progress from Godot and not sociopolitical ideology.

Now, while I agree that both are not mutually exclusive (given it’s a Xitter Community Manager and not a developer (afaik)), I do not feel it was ban worthy. But I am open to being corrected if someone could explain to me why it’s bad?

Look, I’m not perfect, and I grew up surrounded by a lot of bias, racism, and bigotry. I strive to overcome those chains, and be as good a human bean as I can be. I have zero issue with how people want to live their lives (as far as LGBTQ+ goes especially). All that to say that I am not trolling here. I genuinely would like someone to explain to me why my comments are being taken so negatively in this conversation.

Removed by mod

I read a post earlier tonight from tumbler that made me uncomfortably aware that I am naive when it comes to dog whistles and other subtleties people use to spread their hate. It laid out examples of things people are saying, and explained why they’re bad.

I know I would find it helpful and educational to know where you’re coming from, and to see the examples you’re speaking about.

It’s not the inclusivity that’s political, nor the problem. It’s the banning/silencing people who have any modicum of dissent.

It’s more than some unofficial mod in discord. The Xitter Community Manager apparently had no chill with any type of criticism about their politically-motivated posted about being “woke” (in ref to someone xitting about studios being woke for using prebuilt game engines). Unhappy members of the Godot community spoke out (politely mind you) that they’d rather see Godot focus on fixing bugs, rather than wasting resources being political. The CM’s response was to lay the ban hammer (both on Xitter and on GitHub) and block dissenting views. That’s round about when the unofficial mod decided to step in and white knight for the CM using their unofficial discord server.

In the end, it looks like the Godot Foundation is all in protecting their CM, and released a statement only apologizing for banning people who were not a part of the conversation; offering a Google form as a means to get unbanned.

Why is it a big deal? Depends on which side you believe is right or wrong:

On the CM’s side, it’s probably (and this is solely my opinion) about feeling empowered by their position to promote their sociopolitical agenda. For the Godot foundation, it seems they agree with their CM; or maybe they are too proud to admit fault.

For the devs, they just want to have a platform to build their games, and are frustrated by what they perceive is a lack of support (and documentation) from the engine devs. They don’t want to be involved in any sociopolitical argument, and feel that Godot shouldn’t either.

Personally, I feel the CM acted wholly unprofessional and should be fired. Not because they wanted to promote inclusivity with their remarks about being “woke”, but instead by their blanket bans for any hint of criticism. It shows a severe lack of emotional maturity and inability to function in a society. They are no better than those they fight against (ie bigots).

The Godot Foundation should be ashamed of their lack of response, and not calling out the CM for their banpage. They are shitting all over the very people that want to help them grow and become successful. In this case, I haven’t seen many (if any) devs being assholes, and yet Godot is allowing them to be mistreated.

Again, all of the above is my understanding and opinion of the matter. I am in no way affiliated with Godot, the CM, or any of the devs.

When my dad was in hospice, laying in a coma, I poured my heart out to him saying good bye and all that. The next day he died. Might be a coincidence; it might not. I like to think that he got closure from my ramblings the night before.

Birthed me. Then they had the audacity to celebrate it each year there after.
