Remember to make some popcorn for when you read the comments here. Lemmy and discussing communism is like watching two programmers argue over vim and emacs.
What's there to even argue about.
Is Emacs lisp better, or vim's scripting language?
Do you prefer
C-x, or^c:q?And other such arguments over which one is apparently better than the other.
No, the real argument is Tabs vs Spaces.
I never even considered Tabs until watching that episode of Silicon Valley but now I know that Spaces is objectively wrong.
That episode completely missed the point. No one is arguing about pressing the tab key vs pressing the spacebar 4 times. It is purely about whether the tab key inserts a tab character, \t, or a series of spaces.
There are valid arguments both ways. But if you want to piss me off, mix the two!
He can't even define 'woke'.
I'd say I want to know what his definition of communism is but it's clear he means the same thing as when he says 'woke'.
