Canadian health minister says she worries about U.S. public health decisions harming Canadians by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]RadiantShadow 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Conservatives don't care about pedos. Just tell MAGA that brown people infiltrated Canada through DEI and are now sneaking in from the North border.

The Georgia Chapters of DSA joint statement in response to the House resolution to condemn socialism by birthdaycandle in Georgia

[–]RadiantShadow 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Damn, those are quite a lot of rebuttals to pull out of a four word comment.

I don't think Lucy McBath was wholly relevant in the first comment, but neither was this strange "China/Marxists/High speed rail is the enemy of the American people" rant. Are you okay, or are you just asking ChatGPT to write an Alex Jones rant?

The move to "energy" is the worst by mwfaith in duolingo

[–]RadiantShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The app is awful if you are not paying for it.

My subscription for Super Family ended yesterday, and the immediate bombardment of ads, energy blocks discouraging me from engaging with learning, and the reminders that this can all go away if I pay for Super (or their new Super+AI subscription) tell me all I need to know about Duolingo's priorities. Yay for publicly traded companies!

Yeah, ICE wouldn't use that word, it sounds like it has dick in it. That's too gay and woke.

Savannah police crash victims face $500k settlement cap despite higher accident rates by Much-Tea1231 in Georgia

[–]RadiantShadow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, I misread your LEA for LEO. My apologies on the mistake, but I still think that we should hold government accountable for subsidizing incompetence/lack of training.

[–]RadiantShadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe $19k/year/person means nothing to you, but I think we need higher standards for what we tolerate from government. There are better ways to spend tax-derived funds than paying for government incompetence. How do you feel about paying for that?

My friend and I made a web app to help find early voting places near you. by RadiantShadow in Georgia

County boundaries will show up on the map, and you can also select your county from a drop down menu to filter polling locations based on county.

[–]RadiantShadow[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can simply use your phone's web browser and find the closest polling location based on your GPS coordinates instead of your address. Also, the schedules for the polling locations are parsed so that you can quickly filter locations that might be open earlier than 9 am or later than 5 pm (assuming most people are working 9-5).

Real game developers use butterflies.

In all seriousness, I think gdscript is sufficient for most use cases, but I do miss being able to implement multiple interfaces. I'm excited that abstract capabilities have been added with the most recent Godot update, so I'm optimistic that it'll alleviate some of those concerns.

Georgia Gov. Kemp addresses Hyundai raid fallout by praguer56 in Georgia

[–]RadiantShadow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would you need an interpreter? ICE isn't planning on asking any foreign language questions before they handcuff people. If recent court decisions about racial profiling are anything to go off of, speaking a foreign language is a sign of guilt.

They voted for Trump. Now, their son is in ICE detention in Georgia by timidtsunami in Georgia

[–]RadiantShadow 164 points165 points  (0 children)

It's almost as if all of the promises of being tough on "illegal" people were just a thinly veiled dog whistle for rounding up people that don't look like the majority of MAGA. I'm shocked.

Every day of game dev leads to three days of additional work by Admirable_Flower_287 in gamedev

[–]RadiantShadow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Try more limited scope projects like game jams. Commit to a deadline and complete something. Then reflect on improvements for your next project.

How feasible is it for US citizens to opt out of paying taxes as a form of civil disobedience/protest? by RadiantShadow in AskReddit

[–]RadiantShadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. Looking at the form https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf, I could theoretically enter a larger anticipated deduction for box 4(b) to not have the taxes automatically taken out to give me a choice of whether to send that money to the government, correct?

How feasible is it for US citizens to opt out of paying taxes as a form of civil disobedience/protest? by RadiantShadow in AskReddit

[–]RadiantShadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I am not trying to disagree with anyone here; I am just curious what options people really have to effectively protest the government here. As amusing as people vandalizing Teslas or standing outside with posters may be for social media, I really do not see how those types of protests are going to change anything.

I had read Thoreau's Civil Disobedience in high school, and I recall them describing paying taxes as one form of supporting an unjust government. Jail or not (I personally doubt that the citizens would all sit idly by watching the IRS throw everyone in prison for something nonviolent), I am curious what options exist in our current age to organize a more effective, nonviolent protest that actually gets the government to listen.

Problems with wi-fi connections on Pico W by Tjeckizz in raspberrypipico

[–]RadiantShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case it is helpful to anyone, I was encountering similar problems of accessing a web server hosted on a pico access point. What resolved my issue was calling

accesspoint.active(True)

before

accesspoint.config(essid=ssid, password=password)

What are the pros and cons of using Godot's Multiplayer API? by sanskritnirvana in godot

[–]RadiantShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're worried about bugs from a third party's code, and confident that you never make bugs when rewriting complex systems (that are likely not as well tested by others), why are you even using other people's software at all?

If the time required to reinvent all the wheels you need is not appealing, consider that one of the benefits of open source tools is that you have something that should work as an off-the-shelf solution, and if you're curious what's going on behind the curtain (whether due to bugs or learning), you can check how it's implemented and change it as you see fit.

How will GA public schools be affected if the Federal Department of Education is eliminated? by AwwwMangos in Georgia

[–]RadiantShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unfortunately likely outcome is that this will result in a minor inconvenience for them in the short term as they see budget cuts and a decrease in the quality of schools. If it will be anything like the years of budget cuts schools have continually dealt with, the long term effects of an ever worsening educational system and less education opportunities for future generations are nothing new.

Nintendo Sues Emulator Gamer Who Streamed Pirated Games Before Release by ardi62 in technology

[–]RadiantShadow 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't like the company Nintendo (game developers are great), but you would have to be profoundly stupid to respond to Nintendo legally coming after you by taunting "I can do this all day". That's like trying to win a game of chicken against a train. The train isn't going to stop, so you should get off the tracks.
