First problem is she’s expecting a right boob like me to review her pull request. Second problem is I don’t give a shit.

I’m sure this is a joke but Ubuntu is Debian at the core.

Found the eastern European! /s

I’m jelly

Oh god I’m glad those are erased from my brain after 30 years lol

As it should be IMHO. Nothing is stopping you dropping cash for shit in the untracked economy which is massive but if you want to be a part of the larger system and all its benefits you need to be prepared to play by the rules that are designed by and large to protect people.

7$ a dozen now from the farmer down the street from my parents. Inflation is wild!

I will continue to argue that GenX is the only true technology literate generation because we grew up with the technology as it evolved. Future generations are more consumers not partners in the technology they own.

Yea it’s a vast generalization but Apple is a good analogy of this. Most people now just want “a technology that works” without any understanding or control over how it works. That’s a recipe for technological serfdom under the new generation of technocratic companies designed to own us.

Am I ever going to own a free phone? Probably not, but that doesn’t excuse me from at least understanding from a high level all the players involved in my phone and where they’re generating value from me.

XML is fine. Namespaces have a special place in hell though

Linux absolutely isn’t perfect, no technology is. But in my years of experience with both, Linux on the whole is far less finicky, and far easier to fix when it breaks.

I agree 110% but it’s also worth mentioning that windows isn’t as finicky as we complain about. If it was, companies wouldn’t by and large rely on it. People are delusional if they think Windows is only around because of some conspiracy or historical precedent. “It works” plain and simple. As you scale you’re going to run into issues regardless of the OS. It’s naive to think Linux is the be all that end all. As much as anyone I want to be Linux only. My home computers have been Linux for decades now. I’m a realist. There’s value and challenges with every OS. I hate the industry trend of Windows over Linux but I get it

When I write APIs I like to set endpoints to return all status codes this way no matter what you’re doing you can always be confident you’re getting the expected status code.

Top notch

Let her height mogg you

Snake if writing in python

Camel if writing in PowerShell

I tend to stick with what the language wants me to use.

And for the most part it’s still powered by underpaid South Asian manpower lol.

Ah yes. A phone is a car. Got it.

Also, who tf is exploiting kids because they have a phone? Do you also remove all TVs from your house? What about the radio? Can’t have Lady Gaga singing about “poke her face” to my kids! Lol

I simply recommended a burger place as being awesome and it’s frequented by police and firefighters thus having a stereotype of being safe.

You then apparently got your panties all worked up for some reason? You also seem to want to invest a shitton of words saying next to nothing of relevance?

You do realize we are on The Internet right?

Imagine being at a party and someone saying “burger place is awesome” and joking “it’s always full of police and firefighters” and then some asshat chimes in with “ackchully if all the police are there it’s not safe”

As I said, you must be a riot at parties.

Oh and yes I’m callous sure because you know me in the real world and of course what we say here has 100% relevance and bearing on who we are. Lol

To be clear, we are both idiots because as soon as you argue on The Internet you both lose.

Ugh just looked. It’s still chromium

I haven’t checked out Vivaldi in a long time due to the distaste of what happened to Opera and I did not see any of Opera in Vivaldi. Has Vivaldi captured the magic that was Opera 12.04 yet?

This is an extremely reactionary take. I hear what you are saying but I draw the line as delusional and irresponsible unless you apply that to pretty much all parents that don’t completely smother their children.

We make mistakes as we grow. We lie. We get hurt. Technology is always Pandora’s box. I’d argue we have better knowledge of our kids now than we ever used to and stats show the world is safer now than it has ever been.

If you live in fear you will form your decisions from a place of fear.
