@witchfynder_finder project gutenberg texts are available in e.g. the apple books store and i’m guessing that’s how most people encounter them these days

but the experience just isn’t the same as going to the actual website and browsing the library

do kids these days even know what project gutenberg is??

oh wait, it’s a website not an app, so of course they don’t

😩

@nightpool@cybre.space these posts prompted by me seeing someone on the TL saying they don’t like OOP in games and me trying to figure out if that meant that they preferred storing everything in variables in the global state or if that just meant they didn’t like class/inheritance models for working with data

@nightpool@cybre.space lol fair enough

@nightpool@cybre.space totally but if a significant number of programmers associate OOP with the cringe and not with the theory then it becomes very hard to discern what anybody is saying when they say “OOP” :P

@nightpool@cybre.space this is the sort of confusion regarding “are interfaces object‐oriented?” i’m talking about ftr

@nightpool@cybre.space see i quite like interfaces and interface‐focused design, but at the same time most of my interactions with it have been in the context of plain struct‐oriented languages (or duck‐typed ones), which are often not classically considered “object‐oriented” (because they do not necessarily deal in classes or inheritance)

so i have seen interfaces/implementations presented as an *alternative* to a class/object system, at least as often as i have seen them presented as a complement

so i’m confused why anyone uses that word

i don’t like OOP but i’m pretty sure the things i like are things that the people who don’t like OOP consider to be OOP and don’t like

Show thread

i don’t know what people mean when they say OOP
