Imo people should start with C first since it is a lot simpler than C++ while still providing a lot of what you mentioned. C++ adds a lot of things like name mangling, templates, L & R value references that can quickly make things a bit more daunting for beginners.

I also generally find error messages for C a lot more parsable for beginners than C++ ones.

I’m so grateful for Kotlin, it gets rid of so much of the annoyances in Java.

It’s only better imo if you set it to native resolution for the AA. If you set it to anything below that, there’s definitely still artifacting. It’s not crazy obvious but no way it’s not noticeable, especially if you have a larger screen.

BL has always been targeted towards women, it’s not exactly an indicator for queer support.

Haven’t watched anything Orange or Ufotable have put out have you?

I’m not American, but my country has largely moved off phone and SMS but we still get spam messages on WhatsApp and Telegram. The spam and scam will chase you wherever you go, if they haven’t, it just means those platforms aren’t popular enough in your region for them to switch to.

Didn’t they get fined or something by the US for lying about policies related to this issue? I can’t imagine the EU wouldn’t be even more strict on this considering existing precedence.

Sometimes all I need a small compact SSH machine when I’m at a client’s site. This is a perfect use case for it.

Going big on the people who are against an aggressor sounds pretty anti-war to me.

Well there’s that, but I was talking more about how they were selling it when hey first announced it. My point is that with stuff like this, the companies have lied before. I’ll believe it when I see it.

So like how Huawei was hyping up their new mobile OS which was really just skinned AOSP?

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic here. I hope you are. If not a quick search on Wikipedia would show China’s aggressive behaviour towards its neighbouring countries.

You can bet McDonald’s is doing horribly whenever they bring out a limited product or do a celebrity deal.

Is this an American thing? In Japan and Singapore, they have seasonal limited specials every month or so. It’s not really a “when they’re doing badly” kinda thing.

The same Google that’s been constantly trying to add features that deter 3rd party app stores?

My point is more that what they wrote didn’t make sense talking about Japanese corporations when more American companies are listed. The entertainment industry is simply awful, nationalities aside.

Personally I think it’s a much fairer system than letting bots scalp all units on their website. Unless you’d prefer that?

UMG and Warner Bros are Japanese? Lol

Perhaps but I haven’t encountered that myself. I’m ethnic Chinese that’s a citizen of another ethnic Chinese majority nation so I’ve encountered this specific type a lot more.

The reverse, however, isn’t true. It may be somewhat understandable but not entirely reasonable to assume someone who is Chinese is from China which is what I’m trying to say.

Probably because is an ethnicity and nationality. There are ethnic Chinese people all over the world and a few countries and regions are made of a majority of ethnic Chinese but are not related to China. Calling them the same thing is playing into the PRC’s “all ethnic Chinese pledge their allegiance to China” nonsense.
