🚨 ALERT: Another #terminal zealot trying to guilt-trip you into abandoning VS Code because apparently, real programmers only code in pitch-black terminals while blindfolded. 🙄 The article's earth-shattering revelation? GUIs are for amateurs—grab your artisan-crafted keyboard and start typing like it's 1989. 🦖💻

Most #zealots on this planet live in the #USA. It will be interesting to see what our PM does about this.

ZEALOTS
Nuclear Winter
1989 U.S. pressing

I bit of a weird one that I haven’t listened to in quite some time, and have no memory of where or when I got it.

This is a hard one to describe.
There’s flashes of a million familiar things in here, but it’s hard to isolate all of them.

Dark, #newwave #goth #alternative music? Maybe?

The first track sounds like it could be a long lost Bauhaus b-side, and from there, goes into weird early ragged Cure? The singer here, Shiek Vaselino (😂), isn’t a singer per-se, but perhaps more of a loud talker/shouter?

There’s a weird charm to this record that I like a great deal, but I can see how this wouldn’t have stuck out too much in 1989.
However, I dare you to listen to “Little Girls Without A Dad” and not crack some kind of smile. A ridiculous song, but again, charming in a weird way.

🚀🥴 Behold, the riveting tale of yet another text editor that only a terminal-loving, Rust-worshipping zealot could adore. Apparently, opening files and multiple tabs is such a Herculean feat, it demands an entire blog post. 🖥️🤦‍♂️ Spoiler alert: it's not 1800 anymore, and no one cares about your shiny new toy, Jonathan. 🙄

Helix: Why (And How) I Use It | Jonathan's Blog

I’ve come to accept that I’m just a sucker for shiny nerd things. I use Rust, despite never having had a professional reason to use it in my life. I switched to Linux in my student years and I’ve never looked back since, even though it constantly breaks and I can’t get my Bluetooth headphones to connect. I have a split keyboard with home row mods set up because I read some random blog posts and it looked cool to me. I literally learned to program because I figured I should learn how to do more nerd stuff.

Apart from the fact that classrooms are supposed to be rooms free of #Ideology - super idea. So young people learn more and more about the #hypocrisy of religious #zealots and adults in General.
I recommend young people to just cite the #commandment every time someone does not live by it. Guess that will be extremely ennervating for adults.

These are the people who want to purify the world to their standards.
They have started with gaming, with Steam, now Itch.io
They have seen what they call success
THEY WILL NOT STOP, they will extend what they see as purity and THEIR right to determine.
What next?
TV? Movies? Books?

They are censoring our world, our consensual world.

Your world.

#News Happy 4th of July for North Americans that refuse to kneel to #Rapist47 and the Ultra #religious #Zealots that are his support base!

#News #MADUSA #Justice is already politicized.
#Maga judges do not even try to hide their bias and support for #Rapist47 and his gang of #Zealots

I look at our #kids and remember why we fought for the minuscule #rights we had. And now a bunch of whack job #zealots keen on the second coming of khrist and annihilation who are easily manipulated by criminals from the #Kremlin and a class of myopic selfish #techbros are looting our public wealth, stripping our country and selling it to #vultures and endangering our kids.

😓I don't have enough tears for this.😭
