I am tired of the boomer narrative of that it’s always those “young people” ruining everything. Oldest millennials are now in their mid-40’s. Or even worse, the youngest gen-z people are almost 18 now. These people have been paying their taxes for years on end now.

The only terrified people in this scenario are the literal parasites who don’t pay anything, through loopholes and theft

The lone defender of the billionaires at this point says everything we need to know

Congrats to the devs. Biome is awesome, and it’s been a pleasure to use it

I’ve switched my Nix setup to this sudo implementation a while ago, and have noticed no downsides thus far. I’ll take the memory safety, with a fresh codebase

Sarasa Gothic + Iosevka for just about everything

I love OSS but I won’t sacrifice my experience just to go fully libre. Sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. I’m glad it’s an option for people who do want that though

That makes a lot more sense now. Love me a project with a fun story behind it

Sometimes I grab a pizza from the refrigerator isle at my local Lidl. They’re definitely not fresh or gourmet quality, but for 2.90€ and 15 minutes in the oven, you really can’t complain

That’s the good part. There’s plenty of choice, and it’s easy to swap

What is happening to GNOME is truly one of the biggest fumbles in OSS. They could have just continued improving things, but instead choose the path of most resistance, refused to commit to any logical strategies for further improvement, and are now stuck in a loop of nothing getting done

That’s kind of the point though. One of the foundational pillars of a good distribution is mature package management, and that includes not relying on self-updaters that will pollute your system with untracked files

I used to like purpose-made IDEs when i was just starting out with Java years ago, but these days, these are a hard sell for me.

A lot of Jetbrains plugins are incredibly opinionated, and you either have to use it their way, or gut the IDE, where half of its purpose loses value.

DIY editors like VSCode aren’t perfect but they’ve opened up a whole new market for things

Yeah that checks out. I’ve found out about this in a doubly infuriating scenario.

I was home abroad on a holiday, and they billed me for my regular monthly service. So naturally, i got slapped with the 25$ rejection fee, and then my bank decided to pay the overdraft on the second attempt, resulting in another 45$ in bank fees for that too.

Everything in the US is purposefully designed to fuck you over.

We used to own a 2008-ish Wrangler, and it’s the single worst car anyone in my family has ever owned. There wasn’t one redeeming quality about this vehicle, except for that it makes you look like an asshole, and apparently some people are into that

Are you trying to say that error 43 isn’t the only thing you’d ever need to know about it?

The Microsoft support forums are on a whole level of their own, when it comes to being useless.

sfc /scannow and the troubleshooting button in the settings do fuck all, and compared to the usual systemd journal, the event log rarely gives you any useful information whatsoever

There are plenty of uses for machine learning, that are genuinely helpful and useful, but the way people shove generative AI, and surveillance down everyone’s throat needs to stop

I’ve blocked SO from my search results. Either the answers or useless and wrong, or they point to another thread, where the answer has also been useless and wrong. Not to mention how passive aggressive the people there are, all because they want to farm imaginary points

This is not mildly infuriating. This should just be illegal. Paying money to close your account is beyond infuriating

Any time a shell alias would be useful, i have to setup an equivalent of a makefile anyway. My current setup has no aliases active, for the same reasons as you

Turns out free speech costs 40% more now
