Rust is fucking culture war

I’ve worked with a lot of devs. I’ve seen a group of devs invent a new language to keep from having to learn a new off-the-shelf language.

I’ve seen devops rip out entire working systems and work on replacement python for months rather than coming up to speed on existing stuff.

It honestly think a lot of it comes from the poor perception of starting over from scratch on someone else’s code vs on your own code.

Over placeholders? Jesus.

I at least understand it if they were actual final assets. Is the worry that they weren’t really placeholders?

Next up, if you used photoshop you’re out because it has AI features that you might have used.

Why not?

Carbon fiber and fiberglass in concrete foundations would limit microplastics and add strength to the product. Throwing a never-decomposing product into a landfill is just taking up space for something that can decompose over a couple of hundred years. Reuse it at least once it there’s a viable solution.

wind turbine blades aren’t recyclable

I didn’t even know about that.

Wonder if they could crush them up and use them as concrete aggregate.

Not to say that netfix isn’t horrible, but how much did Netflix save in CO2 buy gutting the movie theater and video rental industry? Surely it’s better to stream than it is to drive to a physical location, pick up a crystalized block of oil, drive it home and shove it into our VCR.

Hell, when they were doing disc delivery, it was coming through the mail who was already driving through the hood in most places.

Hell, I wonder how much co2 it cost to make the DVD/VHS tapes in the first place.

They didn’t just rewrite it, they rewrote it in feces React

At this point most of the user base probably has an account

My HOA, My kids school, The PTA, anywhere adults need to have chatter. However, the next generation of adults is actively eschewing the service.

Could be interesting.

They’re struggling; kids/teens want no part of them. While they’re still ok with being an adult platform, their base will continue to decay. That’s why they’re pushing for threads, but their brand is just too poisoned.

Yeah, that’s the real takeaway. I expected them to send them out them say come and get it.

and understand why women would make that choice.

I understand it fully, but am incapable of making the actual < bear guys change. If you try to reason with a chad, they just blow you off and walk away to hang out with other chads. The guys in the < bear circles are completely disconnected from my social circles.

There’s a tricky evolutionary advantage to certain levels of deceit. You tell people what they want to hear well enough, and they’ll put you in charge. Do a slightly less apt job, and maybe they’ll just let you sleep with them. Then for some insane reason, if you do a REALLY bad job at it and walk around angry, you get bad-boy/girl points and people fall all over you to get in / stay in abusive relationships with you.

The future is in making a laptop that doesn’t appear to be encrypted. AI-powered steganography will be the only way to communicate reasonably at some point. The only thing that’ll give it away is that there are more than the usual number of poorly cropped and unique memes.

A lot of the industry artists are at the very least using AI to screw around with concept art for references. The kind of stuff where they used to use google to search. One of my friends fed a service a fairly raw hand-sketched drawing, told it how to finish it off, then asked it to put it in different poses at different angles, then used that to hand-make the character into 3D.

There are, of course, many artists who wouldn’t touch any of it with a 10-foot pole.

First: Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.

That’s a good idea to put first. Of course, like do no evil, priorities change, so we’ll need to keep a close eye on this.

Second: our business model must align with trust. We will grow through transparent monetization that people recognize and value.

Transparent is good, but if he things he’s going to add value to monetization, he’s smoking crack. There’s nothing we want from a browser that’s not already provided by a plugin.

Third: Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.

Nobody wants that. We already had all we wanted from them in trusted software.

I pulled down some random ass pop song, and it ended up being some guy noodling on a keyboard playing a half assed version of the cantina song from Star Wars. I set it to my phone’s ringtone. No idea when that mp3 was long, it was a LONG time ago

I’m up to 45TB of actual used storage. I just want another tape analog. I want inexpensive, slow, long-term storage I can move off-site easily. This paying double to keep disks around and then moving them in boxes is just bad, and online storage is stupid expensive at those sizes.

Was running on Backblaze for years until they screwed around with my client enough that I can’t backup my NAS reliably. I’m not a company, I’m not going to pay the cost of my disks every year to store the content of my disks.

I’ve been considering for a few years standing up a 2u box in colocation.

They do have wheelchairs and ramps that are reasonably well maintained

if they are going to try undermining the elections if they are going to successfully undermine the elections

The try is a given, it’s already started with the SCOTUS changing rules on map redrawing.

Shit’s getting extra shitty everywhere. Its like a couple of countries went a little fash and every politician across the globe went FUCK YEAH, LET US IN ON THAT SHIT!!!

Racial profiling in food is just an attempt to deliver the customer what they want. It would be the most benign form.

I’m oldish and pasty white, I have a hell of a time getting Mexican places to make it proper hot.

That said, I do love me potatoes and gravy…
