I don't understand the penny pinching in this post. My shitty laptop costs pretty close to 3k with all the mods I have on it. My work laptop came it at over 5k. A descent desktop for a developer can cost around $10k. My fancy dream mac

I don't care about it now as a full time employed adult. As a university student I could have well become a full time maintainer of some of the scientific libraries that have been neglected since the 80s. Now as a gainfully employed pr

Expenses like paying their employees. I will never understand how so many people in tech think that not for profit means never make a profit, or pay anyone for their time. But somehow spending money on corporate funded machinery is fine. Wh

Google seems to have entered terminal senility. In my circle of friends googles search engine is pretty much useless, they have killed all the useful applications we used and now this. I can't help but think that we are seeing the goog

I remember the crypto wars. The US government has always controlled the internet. It just made the strategic decision that having a 'free speech' platform accessible to the thought leaders of the 21st century between 1980 and 2010
