There is something I think that a lot of people find very self soothing by just refusing to see what is actually in front of them so that they don’t have to actually do anything about it. There is a certain satisfaction that people get by t

Lots and lots of people accurately predicted this multiple years out at this point. They were continually dismissed as alarmists by supposedly “serious people”.

JFC… I’m begging for you to please think about things like this in ways that aren’t strictly about “the economy”. It’s so so so clearly a net loss for society it’s not even close. You have to literally ignore everything else other than this

See also the decline of media where they learned very early on that rage generates by far the most clicks and hollowed out their entire fucking industry to sell more ads. Honestly a number of really really significant societal problems have

I was quite glad to see this quote in there: > Dr Johnny Ryan said "Today's court's decision shows that the consent system used by Google, Amazon, X, Microsoft, deceives hundreds of millions of Europeans. The tech industry

I guess that’s the thing, when I now look at the commits it’s way past what’s reasonable for nest. I see chromium is rolled back in for example, flutter is back in there, everything seems to be getting the bazel treatment, I see a bunch of

Thanks for that insight. Obviously there’s a lot of context in there that isn’t at all clear outside. One part I find hard to reconcile with all of that is that even just looking at public facing stuff alone it seems to be under VERY active

In practice it bears almost zero resemblance to its stated functionality and instead is really just an extension of personal preferences of a tiny minority of people. It’s embarrassingly unfit for purpose. This happens all the time where st

Fuchsia as the core makes much more sense. It replaces Linux for a start and completely changes the security model to something a LOT more defendable among a bunch of other benefits.

@dang why is this flagged? The flagging system on this site is so incredibly bad. It’s always a tiny handful of users trying to control what others can see with zero logical consistency.

I suspect there is going to be an amalgamation between ChromeOS, Android and Fuchsia. There is heavy work underway in fuchsia currently to provide Linux kernel comparability via a subsystem they call starnix. They are already I believe look

This is literally THE scam Elon, Thiel, Sacks and others are running as they gut the government. Sell assets like government real estate to themselves at super cheap rates and then set up as many dependencies as they can where the governmen

Flutter have been doing quarterly releases for years I think they are going to be fine, I don’t think Android doing 2 releases in a year is going to present any kind of problems whatsoever for them.

It’s so fucking obviously illegal when you think about it rationally for more than a few seconds. We aren’t even talking about “fair use” we are talking about how it works in practice which was Meta torrenting pirated books, never paying an

It’s only maybe for the past two years now that it’s even been promoted as a general purpose language, which I think was a huge oversight on the Dart team’s behalf. For a long time they would just promote it as a great way to build UIs. Wha

Tooling, documentation, language design, balance across a million different competing goals, interoperability, deployability, simplicity, expressivity and much more. It’s just a REALLY REALLY nice modern language with a team of very smart p

Agreed, one of my pass the time activities during covid was basically just spending the year trying out and evaluating different languages across a whole range of different metrics and features. For me Dart was the clear winner and I’ve nev

Self identified libertarians have for at least 20 years now seemed to have had an almost singular focus on age of consent laws and tax avoidance. It’s a magnet for the dregs of society.

You say this like the threat of getting sent to the gulag without any possible recourse isn’t the other option in this scenario. This isn’t a hard decision.
