@BordedDev because two small, focused dialogs is better than 1 convoluted huge one.

Holy shit the comment section is exploding! 🤯

@jestdotty

> I'm not insulting the ideas they came up with but for some reason you're insulting mine

I don’t even know your ideas, so I don’t know what you think that I‘m insulting.

> also yes flat earthers are some of the hardest workers at critical thinking.

Rofl. Now you really made it crystal clear that you don’t know what the hell critical thinking is.
Time to stop taking you sereously again.

@stackodev honestly, if writing tests is tedious, you are probably doing it wrong.
Like trying to achieve a specific % test coverage and writing completely useless test cases.

@stackodev

> where I can get shit done and finally go outside and touch grass.

Can you though?
Most dev jobs don’t allow you leave early when you are faster.
There is no such thing as finished with the work. You are payed by the hour.

Is your job different?

I see your point but I‘m completely different.
I‘m not in for the money but for the passion.

I like to offload boring/tedious tasks to AI but for the most part I want to be in full control.

@whimsical to be fair, in most cases we use libs not because we can’t write the code ourselves but because we don’t want to.

And most libs don’t try to keep their code secret anyway.

@BordedDev besides, shouldn’t the file format be chosen before the file dialog opens?

Like first you pick the format and then the location and file name.

Why cramming everything into the file picker dialog and making it more complicated?

It‘s also easier to implement because you don’t need to check for the actually selected extension after the dialog has been confirmed to know what format to save as.

This is what I mean, it‘s just stupid.

@BordedDev yes I know. It‘s kind of a hack. Filter abused for saving in a specific format.

@12bitfloat yup, he should grow his own dick if he wants to suck one so desperately.

Ha! 😂
Good one!

@jestdotty bullshit. If you critically think about established scientific ideas, you realize that they are established for a very good reason. Because they explain the world better than any other idea.

Just coming up with some random bullshit just because you feel like a revolutionary rebel doesn’t make it critical thinking.

Do you really think that flat earthers arrived at their stupid idea of a flat earth by thinking critically?

@jestdotty The only thing that I fail to understand is your last comment.

Please don’t conflate critical thinking with random ideas, especially dumb ones which go against established knowledge and typically adopted by dumb conspiracy theorists.

This is the typical rhetoric of idiots like flat earthers.

"People don’t use critical thinking anymore. No one is questioning the globe model."

Bla bla bla. Yeah, that‘s not critical thinking, you are just an idiot who doesn’t know how science works.

(to make it clear, I mean the general flatearther-you, not you in specific)

Yup, god is either an evil sadistic asshole or he doesn’t exist.

This is typical for beginners in programming.

The code of my first game was like that.

I‘m surprised that your company is using a lib which is apparently written by a rookie 😄

@whimsical yeah fun in work has always been my main motivator and responsible of all of my "career" decisions (including decisions to not advance my career).

@whimsical
Yes, Ludo and Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht (in German) is very similar but Mandavoshka is kind of a superset of it.
More rules, 2 dice, and overall more complicated and arguably more fun.

As I said in an older rant, it was a lot of fun coding those rules. It required to come up with interesting structures to represent the possible moves and make them symmetrical to avoid duplication for each player.
Most fun I had in coding for a long time.

@whimsical it‘s just one tiled texture for each background.
It looks like chatgpt has problems making them repeatable in both directions (vertical + horizontal), especially when the texture also contains extra features (like torches on the wall, in my case).
I told it like 8 times that the vertical direction needs to be fixed but it just repeatedly apologized and assured to make it right next time but it was wrong still.
Then I started from scratch without the extra stuff and it finally worked and was good enough (still not 100% satisfied).

What the… ?!

@CoreFusionX A filter doesn’t even make sense for saving. For opening, yes.

@antigermanist yeah, it‘s where the nazis ride dinosaurs and hide from us.

@whimsical I don’t remember anymore if I knew them before I knew about flat earthers.

And no, I haven’t looked them up for you. I genuinely remembered them.

There is no physical limit for how far you can see with your eye. You can even see stars with your eyes which are millions of light years away. On earth we have the atmosphere and fog which limits how far we can see but which clear weather you would absolutely be able to see the whole world, from a high enough spot, if it wasn't a globe.

Also, you can see from a ship how the tops of distant towers are first seen just above horizon and as you approach them, more and more of the lower parts of the tower can be seen. Because curvature.

Let me introduce you to some certified analysts…

Cherry pick from SOLID whatever makes sense for the particular project and team.

The good old times when smart wives rather than smart phones was the new shit.

@whimsical

1. a flat disc cant keep its shape under gravity. It’s physically impossible. It would naturally collapse into a spheroid.

2. the starts that we see in the sky are rotating exactly like they would if the earth was rotating. This doesn’t directly prove the shape but flat earthers reject the rotation of the earth.

3. we don’t see infinitely far away objects.
Far away objects appear lower and then disappear under the horizon, which explains the curvature.

4. The apparent motion of the sun observed from earth is perfectly explained by the earth rotating + revolving around the sun. And it doesn’t make any sense from a flat earth.

Obviously those are just short summaries.

@gitstashio interesting. The story section appears to be just the normal feed but with long rants. And the rants dont disappear when they are downvoted. That’s why you see the spam there.

The story section never made sense to me and I haven’t implemented it in JoyRant

@Root super green!

@antigermgerm it already did
