• Pajamas shouldn’t leave the house.

• Unique names and unique spellings of names are terrible. There should be a government approved list of names to choose from.

• Religion is the worst thing humanity has made up.

• Waterworld is a fantastic movie.

• Linux > Windows.

It is “Math” and not “Maths”

Daylight savings time needs to be gotten rid of.

The imperial measurement standard needs to be gotten rid of.

The UN security council veto should be able to be overridden by the general assembly.

Collective responsibility for a democracy’s crimes should be a thing.

The country of Israel should be moved to an open area of land with no people on it. Siberia, Alaska, Greenland, or the jungles of South America.

There should be a corporate death penalty when they commit crimes.

All kids should have food.

All humans should have access to very basic water and food. Like beans and rice for everyone, no exceptions.

Basic sanitation is a human right.

Religion should not be respected any more than any other bag of philosophical ideas. Stupid parts of religions should be called out and discussed, not hallowed and treated with respect even if its utter nonsense.

Using “themselves” for a non-binary person or unspecified gender is grammatically incorrect.

It’s “themself.” (Unless they’re plural.)

Also, “Latinx” is performative white ally cringe. It’s not pronounceable in Spanish. Use “Latine.” -e is the obvious gender neutral ending.

Don’t say “acronym” when you mean “abbreviation”!

“Acronym” specifically refers to an initialism that forms a new word. For example,

• scuba (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus)
• NASA (pronounced like a word - you don’t say “ehn eh ess eh”).

It’s acro- (height) -nym (word) - a word that exists on top of / above other words.

In contrast “NIH” is not an acronym because it isn’t pronounced or read as a word. It’s appropriate to say, “‘NIH’ is an abbreviation” or “‘NIH’ is an initialism”. But saying “‘NIH’ is an acronym” is wrong!

• Mental illness or/and a disability aren’t excuses for shitty/abusive behavior.
• No, having certain skintones doesn’t magically make you immune to skin cancer, wear your fucking sunscreen.
• Boiled eggs > fried eggs.
• If people need it to survive, then it should be free.
• Littering should be punishable with jail time.

• LTS Linux distros are not good for desktop usage and terrible for beginners. (And for servers too but a bit less ig).
• The current distribution model of Linux apps is garbage. The concept of package maintainers, in most cases, is just redundant, duplicated work.
• Bash is horrible and relying on it for anything else than personal scripts gets messy really fast.
• Having a standard “platform” in Linux is key.
• SystemD is actually good, not perfect but very powerful.
• Apps not using Portals are a crime.

People should be educated on FOSS software & Fediverse and try to use it whenever possible.

People on Lemmy aren’t “normal” people and shouldn’t use their personal views as the norm.

I’ve said it somewhere earlier today, I’ll say it again here. I think Windows XP was bad, and that Vista was good.

But Windows in general is still absolute rubbish anyway.

Python sucks.

Not only is it extremely inefficient, it is also a pain in the ass to work with if you have to use APIs that heavily rely on dynamic type wrapping and don’t provide stubs. Static analysis via Pylance is not possible then and you’re basically poking around in the dark, increasing the difficulty enourmously to get to know such an API. Even worse if there isn’t even a halfway decent documentation.
