3. We should be looking for positives in people and rewarding those.
4. Share your rants in a non-polarizing way to help bring the community together.
5. Don't post anything about the word made from the first letter of the first four guidelines.

Something something bitcoin

I intend to abide by guideline 2 by hating everyone equally.

Okay mum

Fucking jews did this. Just follow the money

6. Internet Explorer was not only a bad browser, but an overused joke. There are a lot of IE-related posts already. It's time to stop.

7. Estrogen should be free.

8. devRant is not abandoned. There is still hope.

9. F# is not superior to C# in any way, shape or form. It's not even hot anymore — learn Rust or JavaScript

10. Object-oriented languages don't deserve promotion on devRant.

11. R and Julia are a rare breed. Treat people who use those with a _lot_ of respect — we need more of them.

12. Yii framework is filth that has no place on devRant.

13. Open Source is good enough. Free Software is not the only way to go.

14. Unique nicknames please!

15. Ready or not, JavaScript is coming to your field, and it's out for blood.

16. SOAP is an abomination. Stop using it.

17. Intel and AMD clash is old enough too. Stop it.

18. No more Apple hate!

19. Sometimes, “I was wrong” is the most noble thing one can say.

@mostr4am if it‘s good for math then horrendous syntax is a must!

About point 2:

Respect has to be earned. If someone acts like a monkey on crack, it‘s completely fair to treat them without respect.
Treating them with respect would be unfair to those who actually deserve respect.

@Lensflare I kinda disagree. How you treat others is a statement of your self-image. Don't get me wrong, respect has to be earned, but your default shouldn't be disrespect either.

@mostr4am extremism courts the petty and the dull. I don't think you have so much an agenda as a mood disorder.

@NoMad I agree. The default should be some amount of respect. You can lose that amount quickly and it should be possible to lose it.
Otherwise you get those people tho respect everyone no matter how idiotic they are. And I disagree with this mentality.

@kiki I imagine you being the type of person that says - Leave the billion dollar company alone! They are trying the hardest they can.

Apple doesn't get enough hate, how about that?

@NoMad default should be hate. always. What are we, software developers or spiritual leaders?

We have to live up to the expectations of seniors being toxic, don't we?

Wouldn't it be awesome if a fight broke out right here in the comments section, a post about how we should we treating each other with respect?

@SidTheITGuy ⚔️

@NoMad That's the spirit.

@SidTheITGuy 90% of the hate that Apple gets is by people who don’t even use Apple products (or services).
And 90% of that can be boiled down to how overpriced the products are or how different macOS is to Windows.

So yes, it definitely gets enough hate.

@kiki You know, I'm your biggest fan but point 11 is by far the gayest thing you've ever said. Did you ever try Julia yourself? It's like python had a stroke. Julia devs stay rare, I promise. Ok, I won't be too nice but just tolerate them, their life's are prolly hard enough already

@mostr4am `But how else would I turn people into gay communists like it says on my liberal agenda? `

-> change starts with yourself. Also, you're behind. Minor Attracted Persons are hot now in your community. I told you before, you're not progressive anymore. A center 'guy' at most

Nice rant! Some people just have nothing nice to say. This should change.

But seriously, I think this is a wholesome community

@retoor I didn’t. It was kinda hard to find a word that starts with J for point 11. Wait till everyone in this thread but OP and you figure out it was all about first letters of each point

@kiki afaik only one did. And Java, dear. JAVA!

@demolishun nobody forgets his first jew. I met him on devRant and he was awesome but took a break to detox of toxic environments for a while ironically. Way to go @demolishun

@mostr4am so you think that you can choose to be gay like you can choose what to wear?

@mostr4am your cult doesn't take kids anyway. Problem solved. Natural selection doing its thing.

Anyway, you made it really too easy for me to make certain comment that will blow your mind :D Since the new guidelines i'll just offend you on Matrix. You'll go SJW on this, that i maybe write the date and your reaction in my next commit message to never forget

@mostr4am being gay has pure to do what language your program. Nothing more

@mostr4am I was a big fan of the 'lovehaswon' cult. The one of wild wild country (of the Netflix docu) also seemed nice. I've watched video's from Dutch women who were part of it and they said that it was awesome. Not every cult ends bad. At least, not for everyone.

@mostr4am regarding your toe, i would just smoke (sniff) a bit more and wait a few days

that's not how devrant works

@mostr4am don't cut if off. It's very hard keeping balance without it I've heard. I'm trying to diss you but you're not reading Matrix. That frustrates me

@mostr4am all you know about gay people is that they can steal your phone IIRC

@kiki people are still joking about IE? I haven't even seen it in the wild in years now.

So this was joke/meme. The rules are a tool to tell a joke. I could have put anything in them. Fucking devrant is full of autists.

@jestdotty in response to "the other day" comment, I'd suggest learning to develop strong boundaries. You shouldn't just respect others, you should also have plenty of respect for yourself, body and soul.

@Demolishun as an agnostic, I'm offended.

@jestdotty wasn't snide, just saying if they're not respecting you despite your kindness, set boundaries and don't tolerate their disrespect.

I personally like it when someone without jealousy and ulterior motives gives me suggestions.

@jestdotty you try to be a psychologist and decode other people, while being a racist bitch at her core.

Fuck you and your opinions.

@jestdotty idk. Maybe I projected. My recent life lessons were related to establishing boundaries.

@mostr4am Fuck that bitch.

@NoMad please stop wasting your time with this cunt. No use arguing with a fucking psycho

@mostr4am I'm sorry for your troubles, but you do not get to encourage self harm. Stop that!

Anyone who is disagreeing with @mostr4am on anything is automatically a genocide supporting white wing nazi racist subhuman who deserves to die the most horrible death. 😂

How can this NOT be trolling? Please downvote this idiot whenever he posts this crap!

@Lensflare I don't know. I drive with cartards every day. His mostri doctrine is growing on me. lol

@Demolishun what’s their bicycle bodycount so far?

@Lensflare 42

@mostr4am surely I said that your gf lowered her risk of getting bombed. Not that she deserved to get bombed. My preference is that nobody gets bombed.

@jestdotty Lebanon? Lebanon doesn't like Hezbollah. That entity is not desired there. They just have no choice.

@mostr4am Lebanese don't like Israeli bombs, nor Hezbollah, who cause more Israeli bombs to fall, than would be otherwise.

Hezbollah is supported by a 30% minority Shiite population of Lebanon. They are also feared.

I guarantee you that most of the Lebanon population hates Hezbollah and Israel more or less equally.

Leftists, on the other hand, will always blame Jews.

Lebanon and Israel have been officially at war since 1948 I believe.

@jestdotty disagreeing with you, is not bad faith. C'mon now. This format isn't the best for reasoned debate, but I'm not going to counterpoint a wall of text bullet by bullet. If there's something I missed, y'know, maybe mention it again. I'm quite reasonable.

@mostr4am Lebanon \ Hezbollah are not Gaza.

This is an advanced area with a serious military force that's in active war with Israel since shortly after Oct 7th.

A war that, as with Gaza, the Arabs themselves started.

So, you can go ahead and blow up the whole building if the enemy's leader is in there. Imagine any other country requiring "permission" to do this.

@mostr4am my god the colonialism narrative. So out of date. So crusty.

95% of Jews are Zionist. The tall tale you're pushing is hamas propaganda - that Zionism is reduced to these specific conflicts, and that Arab powers are just innocents fighting to protect a poor native peoples.

An old Jewish lady in NYC, who is donating to humanitarian aid for Gazans, is Zionist. You can bet on it. And she's not guilty of shit.

@mostr4am "They made the genocide special, giving a special license to kill to the Zionists specifically" <-- this is a foul, historic revisionism and conspiracy theory which demonizes the Jewish people. Don't think for a second that you're anything but a bigot.

@mostr4am Jews who stayed in Germany where nearly all executed. I assure you, the ones that left didn’t want to go back there.

Jews post ww2 didn’t get “shipped” anywhere. They voluntarily migrated to israel or to the usa. Paying their own way, of course.

Hence the USA is such a strong supporter. nearly all jews outside of israel live there.

By the way, why is it that you have absolutely no interest in the Arab Nationalist movements from that same time period? Yet you’ve invented a completely alternative history for zionism.

@jestdotty ok i’m done entertaining extremists on devrant. Good luck.

@mostr4am
Let me teach you some basic logic.

Just because someone disagrees with you about what Group A did or what happed to it in history, doesn’t mean that said person is an enemy of Group A or that this person is agreeing with the bad things that supposedly happened to that group.

It also doesn’t mean that this person is a friend or a member of a Group B, which is the enemy of Group A.

It also doesn’t mean the opposite.

I say it to you because I see that you make this wrong conclusion all the time.

@mostr4am another lesson in logic:

I don’t need to care about your topic to be right about your flaws in making conclusions.

Also I am not my country and my country isn’t me.

@mostr4am you still fail to realize that reasoning has nothing to do with taking sides.

If I see a big guy beating a small guy and you tell me that that the big guy is the bad guy then it’s a factually wrong conclusion that you made. It could be that the big guy is the bad guy, it could be the other way around.

It absolutely doesn’t matter how I react to that situation. Your conclusion is completely unfounded and wrong.

Before you start to talk about morale and how beating is bad and therefore the big guy must be the bad one, I like to remind you that you advocate for killing all the people wo are politically right side. You are the one who is beating up the small guy and claim to be the morally good one yourself.

@mostr4am Again you assume that I support this and that. You really are a hopeless case.

And don’t you dare taking the word logic into your mouth. Nothing that came out of your mouth (or fingers typing) in the past weeks comes close to being something even closely resembling logic.

@mostr4am you really are an annoying piece of dumb shit.
A very successful troll, congrats!

So are we against genocide, or just genocide against the wrong people? lol

Energizer bunny ain't got nothin' on this thread.

@Demolishun yeah genocide is ok as long as it’s about killing the bad guys. What makes them the bad guys, you ask? Well they are the bad guys if they support genocide. Makes sense, right?

@Lensflare the tv tells me who the "bad guys" are. The tv is all knowing. All hail the tv as the ministry of truth. Bow down to the tv overlords.

@mostr4am ouch looks like Israel is gonna wipe out Hamas, Hezbollah AND Khamenei. All your favorite death cults!

@mostr4am I’ve read a lot of this thread, and I have a genuine question: what do you think happened at the music festival on 7th of October 2023?

@mostr4am okay, thanks!

@mostr4am so you hate "Zionists" but clearly the enemy is far right ideology. Every Zionist I know is liberal and donates to Gazan humanitarian aid (as I'm sure you do).

In the USA, the "progressive" left, which has jettisoned Jews from that movement; their enemy is the far right.

They used to be aware of this.

But because of the disease of Leftist antisemitism, which has temporarily won a propaganda battle, they seek to "help" Gazans by .. get this .. tricking youth into withholding their Harris vote, and rolling out a carpet of degeneracy to Donald Trump, a right wing extremist possibly more foul than Netanyahu.

Sheer brilliance.

@mostr4am meme is just typical Leftist racism and hate.

Very few credible historians consider the entire Israel to be a colony.

Arab world is in no way unified over Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran. Or Israel. Some have good relations with Israel and aim to keep that.

No Israeli on planet Earth is calling Israel a colony.

It's just sad my dude.
