Fascists are always just following orders
I'd argue agents often participate willingly because they are conditioned to view the people as enemies threatening their lives. The phrase "just following orders" is used afterwards to ease guilt and shift responsibility.

Coca-Cola is on pace to dump 1.3 billion pounds of plastic into our oceans each year
Reply in thread
The company makes the plastic bottles, which don't need to be plastic, and then uses marketing to promote consumption. The people are not to blame for being exploited by the scheme of the corporations. If this company stopped existing tomorrow, I'm sure people would consume less just from the lack of advertisement.

It is the company's responsability for people dumping the plastic. If they made as much publicity for responsible disposal as they do for comsumption of their products, people would be better. They can also produce less or in better recipients.

How do you structure your models save/load code?
Usually my models only store data, meaning the files that contain them don't have much code. The decision also depends on the tools you are using and who you are working with. I would fallback to the rule of separation of responsabilities and write a new class for the purpuse of serializing the model (which could and should also serialize similiar models). This way is universal in any language and can easily be understood by future you and colleages.

What should semantic diffs highlight: The change or its effect?
The most obvious option: highlight what changed, the whole string. If you changed the string from interpolated to non-interpolated, the meaning of the whole string changed; it is no longer a method to concatenate variables, it has become a literal string.
Same for the example of single to double quotes. In some languages, double quotes are only used in specific contexts, so its use changes the meaning of the code. The post seems to dismiss this fact too easily.

RFC: Next steps to set up a co-op
I am interested in joining this initiative. Also, in your manifesto, in footnotes
(4) "outweight" => "outweigh the"
(5) "memebers" => "members"
(7) "... but you might loose it ...", it should be "loose it" => "lose it"
(8) "freelly" => "freely"

What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

Immigration helps the common man by filling low level positions that most natives will not take. A lot of immigrants don't know the local language and/or the local culture, so it is fair that they take free, unwanted jobs.
Further, there are a lot of protections for the workers, including immigrants, meaning wages and working conditions do not fall below acceptable standards. Immigrants strengthen the core pillars of industry, which might even lead to an increase in productivity and better conditions. They contribute to the economy and help pay public services which benefits the broader community.

What's the translation for "Buy European" in your language?

Some of the translations seem like order / suggestion for the formal singular "you".

How do plumbers exist if there's no junior plumbers
Reply in thread
Junior compiler writers exist.
You can have a junior write compiler code, but you won't have a junior compiler writer. It's a very specific niche topic which does not have the demand for this.
They don't teach CLIs and git and debugging in uni.
Well, they do. Version control is extremly useful for doing projects especially in groups and debugging is a necessary tool for building systems. These are not the main topic of the courses, but they are taught and practically mandatory.
