  • Anyone who knows me knows that I hate Java with the fire of a thousand suns, but this is just sad. Most of these are true of any programming language. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to hate Java besides the fact that its concurrency utilities are as utterly shite as those of its 90s contemporaries, like the fact that it does not support multiple inheritance, or remote interface implementation, or any form of namespacing besides the goddamned filesystem, or unsigned integers, or string formatting. Or you could rant about the primitive type/object dichotomy and how you can’t use primitive types in generics, or the fact that type erasure is a thing and you can’t return a generic type from a method because javac is too stupid to remember what generic parameters you passed to a class, or the JVM’s atrocious memory efficiency, or the fact that it’s not backwards compatible thus requiring end users to install multiple versions of the JVM for different projects, or

    Bombs were going to get shipped to Gaza regardless of which candidate won the presidency. At least Harris had promised to negotiate a ceasefire – Trump just told Netanyahu to hurry up and finish the job. But because of YOU not voting, millions of trans people in the united states are going to die too.

    But leftists never seem to care about that.

    …how do you mean?

    Obviously we’re not going to get everyone to download a FOSS period tracker, as nice as that would be – they’re already invested in the ones they’re using, and no doubt it will have features and usability improvements the FOSS one doesn’t, usually thanks to some network service that is fundamentally incompatible with the FOSS philosophy. That’s almost always how these things go.

    We should definitely be telling more people about F-Droid, but let’s not get our hopes up. Socialism is about protecting everyone, even people who don’t share your views, even if those views are objectively correct.
