I didn't know valve sells you hardware that locks you to steam

Do you go to the supermarket every day?

There's 5 food stores <7 minutes away from my apartment,. Why stockpile when you can just walk and pick up fresh food every other day.

What happens when you're sick and can't go shopping?

Is that a common occurrence? Just get a friend or family member to shop for you if you're that ill, or order food delivery.

Children probably

That's a narrow view of art

It's not leak when it's an intended and documented feature...

You made it bleed with a single shot.

You're on /c/programming.

Could just as well have been a writing prompt community. It's just writing ANSI characters for the most part.

Also, it's even ISO standardized, so yeah, it's an international norm.

I'd wish something being ISO meant it's the norm, but that's just not the case. #ISO8601Gang

Pragmatically: most programming languages are developed in a way to that it's easy to type them up on a standard us layout. As English only has 26 letters, which is less than any other language using the latin alphabet (don't even start me on languages with accents like ñ or that differentiate between à, a, á, and â), all the special characters are usually easily accessible. Most others layouts will tuck them away behind non-trivial combinations in favor of improving accessibility of extra letters and special characters. Cuz essentially in human language you barely need * and [. So, I guess, right ctrl + left shift + 9 will do? how do you feel about coding in python on that. Or on a keyboard where the space for your | has been allocated to some letter ø and your OR operator has been moved to the numpad.

As a user of a keyboard layout with æ, ø, å, who also uses python daily, I can promise you that there are zero issues with it.

Most people will grow up with a keyboard layout designed for their native language's need. If it uses Latin characters, there should be minimal issues using it for programming too.

Blizzard I think

We haven't blocked Threads yet, but I haven't seen any content from it either. When exactly are Threads supposed to federate?

Thank you for sharing that fact with the rest of us 👍
