Many of the programs recommend therapy first. No one wants to drink themselves to death, even though it feels like that sometimes.

The guilt and shame is brutal, and shouldn’t be used to try to change someone into behaving better. It’s like spanking you kids, which is illegal now (at least whew I’m at).

Same, but the community was great. Being around people that understand is so beneficial.

I had 2 interventions in my life and neither worked. In fact, they made it much worse for me.

I suggest that you go to AlAnon and learn a bit about alcoholism before trying anything (btw, AlAnon is not AA, but is a program to help non-alcoholics understand what they’re dealing with.)

Your friend is lucky to have you. Don’t give up on them. It truly is hellish, and they’ll need your support.

Did you,… hrm,… did you even take classes about this stuff. Ffs, this is why this career pays well: you have to understand complicated things.

Maybe your issue is with Windows. I suggest moving away from that platform.

Dynamic libraries are essential to computing, and allow us to partition out pieces of the code. One giant library would have to be recompiled with every change.

RISC-V will supercede it. ARM became quite a nasty company in its later years.

Oh well, good riddance.

I just want a chip manufacturer that isn’t gonna bug my home! Hopefully someone comes along, takes the RISC-V specs, and makes a truly open-source chip!

No offense, but wtf does someone need an app for their fridge?

Yup, I got rootkitted by those fuckers just installing their bullshit software for my mini-disc player.
