    a single strawman: these tools do not exist and no developer in the world cares about the topic

    I haven’t seen anyone make the argument that denies these things exist - it’s that the existence of these tools are even necessary to safeguard the language in the first place is the argument. And then on top of that, you’ll additionally need a shop that is even allowed the time to properly utilize these tools and implement their usage as standard practice within the company culture.

    That there are alternatives which remove (significantly more) footguns is the overall point. Work in one of these other languages so e.g. dumb-ass PMs don’t even have the option of pilfering the time it takes to code safely, as it would already be baked in.

    There was a post about an older dude that went camping with his girlfriend and popped an ol’ blue to get freaky. They wrapped up and fell asleep, but the dude woke up 4 hours in excruciating pain - his erection had never gone down. They rushed down the mountain to the hospital, another two hours later… ER docs told him it was too late, amputation time.

    So it’s always a good idea to stay awake long enough to flush the pipes with a good piss to avoid a uti, the story just reinforced that notion for me about 1000% more.

    Yeah some kind of fucky configuration.

    The root is:

    http://archive.ubuntu.com

    Which, if the ubuntu link is clicked, then drops you into the the real archive root… but the link is “appended” to the new path, but the same link is reproduced in the “new” folder. Click it again, and another segment added to your current path even though you’re in the same root archive, ad nauseam.

    I couldn’t find this misconfiguration on stackoverflow, which leads me to believe someone at ubuntu is doing something especially special here.

    every generation thinks they’re the last ans that everything is about to go to shit. In the end that never really happens

    About 3.76% of the worlds population died due to WWII, or about 300MM people if scaled to today. For those people, the end really did happen.

    With NATO being threatened by a malicious US presidential candidate, along with Putin getting express approval to go ape by the same, I’m actually quite worried WWIII is more possible than ever in my adult life (I was only a child during the cold war).

    It’s because there’s websites out there that will entirely break, and for really dumb fucking reasons. I’ve seen some sites not even load due to google tag manager being blocked. Most of the time it’s a signal to me that I don’t want to have anything to do with that domain.

    However, if this was at work, that would be a call to IT. Multiply that by potentially hundreds of calls on the regular, and that could get really expensive.

    The better solution here I think, is to default the browser install with uBlock Origin already there. Then allow the user the power to toggle the addon to their own liking. Then last, train your employees to know what the addon is, and how to use it.

    Then it’s the best of both worlds: websites aren’t necessarily breaking for all users, ads are absent as a default state, and users are empowered to control their own experience. (And yes there’s still going to be Jims and Karens calling for support, but they’re going to regardless, those types will always find a reason.)
