Generally agreed (at least throughout history).

A revolution/counter revolution is almost always bloody though, so if there’s a way to resolve things somewhat without bloodshed first, then that’s the path that should always be taken before we start signing up people to die in a revolutionary civil war.

Get out and vote. If voting didn’t work, they wouldn’t try so hard to make you think it didn’t work.

Yeah, Linus today is nothing like Linus in the 90s/00s

Fuck him. Let him obsess over shit that further alienates his base.

But for how long, and with how many plates requiring constant angular momentum at the precise velocity to prevent a chain reaction?

Can we just all agree that leaders of most countries are fucking evil, regardless of their political dogma. Evil people do evil shit, and will use religion or government needs to justify.

As long as everything is properly sanitized and parameterized, I agree. Or use an extremely lightweight orm like dapper that basically has you write SQL inline and mostly just does dynamic model binding.

The moral outrage is just that. Morally aligned. A company without morals gives zero fucks about moral outrage.

We need a capitalism outrage for this to matter.

The performance comments were a dead giveaway.

Nobody’s complaints with setting Linux up are that it runs slowly.

It may not run much of anything until you sort out your drivers properly, but it will do everything incorrectly LIGHTNING fast, compared to Windows.

Adding to the list of people warning you away from Brave. It’s a complete scam. Practically malware at this point.

This is true, it’s like this everywhere.

Portugal for instance uses Brazilians as cheap labor imported over, because they speak their language (different dialect, which is also discriminated against) and they want to get out of brazil for a better life.

Faster too. Speeding up the feedback loop only lets them radicalize people faster and faster.

wtf, I didn’t say “float right”.

Pika!

A photoshoot?

I don’t know if this is what the guy you’re replying to meant, but I would also say that not being able to launch new satalites for things like GPS, internet, communications systems, telescopes, space missions, etc. would also qualify as trapping us on earth.

They’re our eyes and ears in space, and we use them to work around needing to navigate the terrain on earth to communicate. It’s always easier to bounce a signal off satellites than traverse ground terrain.

Do you want Godzilla? Because this is how you get Godzilla.

I think it depends on what you’re writing code for. For greenfield/new features that don’t touch legacy code or systems too much? Sure, I agree with that assessment.

Unfortunately that’s a small fraction of the kind of work I am required to do as most of the work in most places doing software dev are trying to add shit to bloated and poorly maintained legacy systems.

Working in those environments LLMs are a lot less effective. Maybe that’ll change some day. But today, they don’t know how to code reuse, refactor methods across classes/design patterns, etc. At least, not very well. Not without causing side effects.

This 100%

They could have cured homelessness 4x over. But instead we got crappy little Zuck-like avatars and an ecosystem nobody ever asked for or wanted.

Fuck this world man.
