• IT reconversions are bullshit and dangerous to the industry. Everyone and their grandma are becoming “programmers”. We’re in the “fuck around” phase, the “find out” will be explosive. Companies are inundating themselves with these “reconverted” juniors and doing soft-layoffs to seniors…

• crypto, Blockchain and AI are just bs to make a quick buck out of investors. They are truly disastrous to the environment

• If you use chatgpt et al. I’ll look down on you from a technical competence level

• marketing and middle management are mostly useless. A good, and small, sales+marketing team is very effective but the moment they start growing they start to degenerate pretty fast into BS world and imposing company culture

Meh I dislike Musk as well but I don’t let that cloud my judgement of his companies or science/engineering in general.

Right because innovation materializes itself when we want … We just flicked our fingers and airplane, cellphone and others just appeared.

Who are you to tell what we should or should not pursue?

Isn’t there space for both? Why not try multiple avenues? Why have this negative view on everything? Wouldn’t you say the airplane and the car have tremendously improved humanity, even with all its downsides? Or the cellphone?

I bet at the time of their inventions you would be opposing it because “billionaires are bad and this industry is going to explore the working class”. Guess what? Yes billionaires are bad and explore people and you (all of us) should be fighting against that, not against scientific and engineering inovation.

You seem to be letting your hatred for Musk confuse you about space exploration. NASA and other governmental agencies do very important work when it comes to space exploration

Is this sub-populated mostly by Facebook people? Some of the answers really feel like it.

You cherry picked his argument and left out the rest where he states China’s as cheaper standards of environmental “friendliness”

Sure and place neovim there

I can’t understand Logseq, even though it seems appealing. I haven’t gone too deep yet but to me it feels weird that they say it’s simple and then their documentation is confusing and full of videos explaining how it works. That seems far from simple.

I’ve tried lutris before never heard about Bottles. I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

For some reason I just can’t get warcraft 3 and StarCraft 1 running through wine

Can you expand more, why it is limited?

What are you on about? Yes they made sure their gadgets were easy to use, but Apple and Jobs were the pinnacle of “locking you in” on their ecosystem for the profit of it. Sure they weren’t as careless about users when compared to Microsoft but they weren’t too favourable of you using anything else. They invented this stuff.

Yes exactly. These companies hold rights for far too long in the hopes they can “milk that cow” at any chance they have. The products of these (and many others) companies are electronic waste for many after a while and so normal copyright laws shouldn’t hold for them, it’s just too wasteful.

That’s because these consoles and source code are not always compatible. To make them it would cost them time, money and the compromise to maintain them.

I would rather these companies to be forced to open source their older hardware and source code, so the community could do something with them and not have all the hardware laid to waste. Or at least support the development of emulators

If you lose a remote you also lose a phone easily

I think you’re just finding reasons to nitpick. I agree with the jack but the fuck you need and IR blaster for?

I didn’t say that

Unfortunetaly, that does close to nothing when the issue is spyware on firmware

Yes! I’ve been telling this to friends who keep buying Chinese boards to use as routers and NAS … wth
