@sbiewald that was quite a jump from "arbitrary pointers give me a headache" to "make your own damn OS then!"

@Parzi Sure, an own kernel module is enough. Or you can work on an embedded system maybe.

@Fast-Nop Without manual control of them, sometimes they stop working. Sometimes you're not even the cause, either!
It's like working on a car, but sometimes parts disappear from the car out of nowhere. -
@Parzi Pointers don't just stop working, just like data variables don't either. If code suddenly stops working, it's because the dev has put bugs in it.

@Fast-Nop it sure as shit seems like they do...
figured out why i'm at home with machine code or Python but can't for the life of me do something in the middle like C: if i'm forced to use pointers, but can't manually pick an address something's made at, my mind can't deal with it.
