  • I feel this. In my line of work I really don’t like using them for much of anything (programming ofc, like 80% of Lemmy users) because it gets details wrong too often to be useful and I don’t like babysitting.

    But when I need a logging message, or to return an error, it’s genuinely a time saver. It’s good at pretty well 5%, as you say.

    But using it for art, math, problem solving, any of that kind of stuff that gets tauted around by the business people? Useless, just fully fuckin useless.


  • I don’t intend to have the tone of some of these other guys; if you like it that’s fine, really.

    But man, every time I’ve used VSCode, I cannot help but hate it. It’s a mess of a user experience, with anything off the beaten path being community supported via plugins that have different opinions on how they should work.

    I’m a nvim user these days, I’m all about extensible tools, but I can redefine how they work if it’s not a default I like, so it’s always cohesive to me.

    Between the full-fat IDEs, I prefer JetBrains by far, but these days I pretty much just use the terminal - it’s just faster and it’s easy to get it to meet me where I’m at.


  • I reject the notion that men are “generally” terrible because generalizations are lazy intellectually bankrupt ways of othering swaths of people in a way that revokes any ability to fix the real problems.

    Men aren’t terrible inherently, it’s the overblown importance paid to stoicism, acceptance of low emotional maturity, ALIENATION LIKE YOU’RE DOING RIGHT NOW, and poor societal/cultural frameworks for men to seek the help they need that make a lot of men terrible. Men aren’t terrible, but the cultural understanding about what men are and do needs to change.

    Fascists are terrible because they choose every day to be fascists. Men are capable of being terrible the same as women - blame people for what they can change and do not, not what they can’t change.


  • As a gen z man who did not vote for Trump, supports the rights of people, and generally is a good person to those around me - generalist arguments like this are poison to your goal. Blaming every man from 14 to 29 (depending on who you ask) is only going to succeed in alienating those men who are not going to be unreceptive of your actual point.

    Age, skin color, gender, sex, sexuality, whatever the combination - blame people for what they do, not the circumstances of their birth.

    The Trump voting neo-nazi chuds can get fucked. Don’t lump young liberals like me in with those cult of personality dicks with lazy generalizations, please.
