Took me a moment

I enjoyed this so much more as it was at 24 upvotes when I came upon it. Just barely qualifies for plural of dozen.

The only important topic.

I don’t fucking care about peeling paint and aelge, or the world cup, or the heat wave (unless we’re talking climate action).

Thank you for using your influence to send this message, and for beautifully putting into words what we all feel.

Not a meltdown at all. Calmly spoken nonsense. Title is clickbait. There, I’ve slammed them.

No no no! The “show all posts in reverse chronological order” cannot be a description of an outcome; it is phrased as a request or a command. The outcome description would be “posts get shown in reverse chronological order”! Also there is no way to show all posts, that’s not really possible with finite resources.

Unless you were thinking of an algorithm that prints out text “show all posts in reverse chronological order”, then you are completely right in that being the outcome.

Article is fluff, just read the source of info: https://www.firefox.com/en-US/whatsnext/

I like built in ad blocking and further privacy protection. I’d like to see more of it, to firmly establish where firefox stands in the big tech war against personal freedom.

Unpopular opinion - for me Firefox is a joy to use. I appreciate that we still have a strong alternative to web monopoly. Sure things could be better but when was this not true? I’ve used it for many many years and there’s nothing on the horizon that I would consider as alternative.

I spent few years using it professionally and mentoring others, but never felt comfortable with it. Small eternities spent fighting the language constructs and solving typing puzzles. My take away is that I could just barely fit the C++ in my head and then there’s no room for anything else. I’m done with it for good.

Being in “this is obviously wrong” category, I have no choice but to downvote this.

This is my 2nd favourite Mac track, but that’s just because the Albatross takes me somewhere out of space and time. David Bennett has a great harmonic analysis video that made me appreciate The Chain even more.

I sense a story? Tell us more, why’d you get it and then remove it?

Not to my eyes. None of the tells are there, looks very coherent.

Achievement unlocked: learning from past mistakes.

Not kind at all!

Do it to have a laugh but don’t kid yourself this will change anything. Your time is limited and precious, the machine can scale beyond our comprehension. It doesn’t feel and can’t be humiliated or humbled.

The flavor can get quite bitter depending on the plant. It combines really well with tomato sauce.

I like kale and potato stew, I’d pick it over eggplant or quinoa.

Concerning. There’s also the fact that city populations are being bombed, but yes, Phillip Morris products might be smoked before the profit is made.

It’s not even about skill atrophy, it’s more subtle. You can quickly relearn forgotten skills.

Unlearning a habit, on the other hand, is much harder. If you get into habit of reaching for AI anytime something hard needs to get done it’s going to wreck your internal motivation and reward system. meme_historian describes it really well in this thread, I noticed the same thing happening to me.

PoV: I’m a dev and I want to put my code out there. GH is basically a social network that aims to show my project to like-minded folk, no other service does that. Personally I enjoy this social aspect and occasionally check on GH feed to see what the circle around me is doing, to catch sw trends.

Why would I be concerned about privacy when the idea is to make it public? GH is just a free host that happens to be most popular and it would reach most eyes, the best chance of getting back some contributions.

If I used any other git hosting service - my code would be scrapped just the same, but would reach almost no human. If I tried to publicise the project myself, the other devs and potential new users will be far more likely to click on a GH link than any alternative. Self hosted solution would get least clicks. People like familiar URLs that lead them to “safe” sites.

Among big tech, I actually prefer Microsoft over Google, Meta and others. Yes, MS is just as disgusting, but at least they are grossly incompetent and only manage to execute a fraction of evil schemes they come up with. It’s funny to watch actually.
