I missed an opportunity to say the bunkiest of funches, and I'll never forgive myself.

I'm with you. I used to build maps, models, and textures for Battlefront 2 and share the files for free on Filefront. I got into programming for the joy of creating things that make people happy, or solve some little problems they have. I still make mods, the communities are out there and I'm glad I found them.

But tech evangelists and bro culture ruined the idea of programming as a career for me. The greed of late stage capitalism infected our industry the moment Facebook hit the scene, crypto accelerated it, and AI may as well be the final nail in the coffin. It's no longer a worthy or noble profession.

Yeah that about sums up how I view the rest of my life playing out.

Fuck, I got lost in the UI. 😂 Mbin is great but there's just a little too much visual noise.

Ah I see my mistake, thanks for clearing that up. Makes me wish "meanwhileongrad" was still around.

Am I misreading the modlog? This was .world's moderator removing SereneSadie's comment. The .ml user was just the OP.

If it helps you sleep at night...

Yeah I can tell you're not commenting to convince anyone, you're just commenting to vent your frustrations. I get it, no worries. I mean the world is pretty shitty right now, and if you're thinking Canada and China and equally evil authoritarian regimes, yeah I guess all us commenters are equally not worth the effort. Have a good weekend mate, keep up the good fight against... everyone.

Despite all your raging comments in this thread, I still don't know what your stance is. The weak straw man argument isn't helping.

They say no parent should ever have to bury their child.

Not them. No, those monsters deserve it. The rest of their children too.
