Object-oriented programming is a meme, if you can’t code it in HolyC you don’t need it

Rexxit

At least call it Rexit, damn

Everything Google has done with emojis after the original version of the blobmojis has been obnoxious and weird

The Android Open Source Project and all of its resources wouldn’t go anywhere, it would just lose its biggest parasite.

Don’t be sanctimonious about your choice in cell phone, it’s weird. Also, I’m typing this from a phone that has a headphone jack and a microSD slot

That’s a fallacious argument, opinion discarded

Evidently your high expectations came from being up high on a cross

I don’t expect people to make zero mistakes, I expect people to not be belligerent when they make mistakes

You need to calm down

I’m repeating liberal propaganda because I’m a CIA plant, Communism would be thriving if not for us. Happy now? Validated?

Pot, meet kettle.

If you look up, you’ll be able to see my point. You might need binoculars.

I’m bothered by the fact that you made a statement that’s not internally consistent and contradicts itself. Like whatever you like, but if you’re going to cite a reason, be accurate. Don’t be so dense.

His exact words:

Telemetry is important for desktop developers, you can negate it but it’s a fact

I’m going to assume you know what the subject and object of that sentence are. Here’s the thing about how language works on my planet: through the magic of a radical new concept called “context”, we can accurately discern both meaning and normative statements from what people say and how they phrase it. In other words, “It’s a fact that telemetry is important for desktop developers” is an ostensibly descriptive statement that also creates a normative statement in the same way that standing in the sun casts a shadow: it has to, it isn’t optional. It’s “Desktop developers who don’t use telemetry are ignoring something that it’s factual to say is important they not ignore”. Please tell me you get it now, and that you don’t need the rest spoonfed to you.

Is that really a fact? (No.) Wow, it’s crazy how every desktop program that doesn’t use telemetry isn’t any good, according to you.

Yeah I’ve seen a few things get messed up by that idiotic rule. When you euphemistically say “reasons” in italics, it sounds worse than it is. I assumed you were trying to gently tell people “Google suspended the dev for being racist” or something.

I don’t like bloat on my hard drive

So you installed GNOME? This is not the checkmate you think it is.

Usage data is a crutch, effective developers can make good software with zero telemetry and did so for several decades.

*Gboard is preparing to add an entirely new kind of activity to log and send to Google along with all of your normal keystrokes

I don’t use Discord, so this screenshot is amazing. It somehow manages to combine the clutter of bad '90s UI design with the wastage, eye candy glut, and oversimplification of the last 10 years. A towering achievement in the worst of both worlds.
