As a game developer that has curated my mutual list of fellow developers, I’m saddened by the state of Twitter and genuinely have no alternative. A few folks have left for Threads, Mastodon, and BlueSky, but no community has coalesced on one platform. I would love to leave, but the fact is that if we want to communicate in a similar medium, we have to go where the people are. Right now, the people are still on Twitter.
Ahhhh, the old “If you love that inanimate object so much, why don’t you marry it?” response. This playground reaction tracks pretty well with my understanding of major party politics. Goddamn, I miss the days when the masks were still on and policies on both sides of the aisle still had some redeeming qualities.
I realize this isn’t actually going to happen, but I’m just trying to wrap my head around this dude’s train of thought.
It seems like “You want to protest the killing of these people? How about you go live in the area where the killings are happening!”
Does he think that will change their minds? Like, upon arriving in Gaza, these protesters will realize the errors of their ways and agree that genocide is the best option?
Is he trying to get the protestors killed by the very thing they’re protesting? That’ll teach them!
Does he not think that there is anything happening in Gaza and he wants to show them that it is actually a safe and lovely place?
Ignoring the logistics of the proposal, and accepting that this lawmaker has the viewpoint that the protesters should not be protesting, I still fail to understand what the desired outcome is and why this person thinks this is a fitting response. Like, this dude went through the trouble of writing this up and talking to people about it. Does he realize this makes no sense and he just wants to get his name in circulation by proposing nonsense?
I’m doing this now as I learn Unity and come back to C# after a couple decades away. It’s great for helping with syntax and reminding you of libraries, also with debugging steps as you mention. I haven’t had it full on hallucinate, but it has given me suggestions that fail to do the thing I specifically asked it for. I also went down a couple rabbit holes following its suggestions to later realize there was a much simpler answer that it didn’t tell me about. All in all, I’d still highly recommend it for my situation and OPs. If you’re able to follow the logic and point out the flaws, it’s a hell of a lot faster than googling or following tutorials.
