At this point, it’s very clear that people nowadays choose Rust mostly to be part of the cult rather than clearly understanding its shortcomings and advantages over languages such as C, C++. It has gotten to the point that some devs after w

Of course I can’t prove it, but i am guessing some kind of “AI” is doing that. Humans rarely use emdashes.

> LinkedIn does not support smaller companies. Pity, but even then is it worth to hand over your very personal data to multiple companies for the sake of blue tick? Not judging, genuine question.

You can verify yourself using company email address - maybe I am being naive to think that it’s much safer, but it’s way better than handing over your ID data. I never understand why people supply too much info about themselves for small ga

Mostly true, but AI accelerated that process: - Senior Engineers now often is sufficient for most tasks, Junior Engineers seems like a burden rather than a boost during development process - Companies feel comfortable with hiring fast and f

Yes, you really are brainwashed. Calling someone's view a propaganda without a sensible argument is bullshitting.

Microsoft is its own worst enemy. Microsoft had a chance make even better OS than XP and 7 and convince millions of users to use Windows. Okay maybe with Office products the ocean was already red, but still, instead of disgusting its millio

Glad that I removed my SoundCloud account right on time. I think it’s only a matter of time before a service gets breached. It's best to use unique random username, email, and password for every online account. Also, providing only the

Yeah, it’s hard to not call anything opposing your view a propaganda after being brainwashed for 24/7.

Since when Cloudflare started to fight for Open Internet? Thanks to them last year we weren’t able to visit many websites. If that’s how they perceive openness, they have to think twice.

All the European Commission is interested in is getting software cheaper or for free. If they were truly interested in freeing themselves from non-EU software, thereby preventing potential interference from (mostly) the US, they wouldn’t ha

If Steam decides to suspend your account, you have 0 game in your hand. But I agree, sometimes central place to get your software might be more reliable.

I use package manager too regardless of OS, but after all Microsoft Store isn’t for tech-savvy people, right?

by nalekberov 10mo ago
Seriously who needs a Store App on a desktop OS? The process should be as simple as visiting app’s website, optionally paying, and installing. No middle man, hence less point of breakage.

Why data brokers are allowed to collect your data without an explicit consent in the first place is a question no one yet seems to address.

Games are cracked at day one, sometimes hours after. Apparently DRM is not a solution here. If pirates know that, people at Valve certainly do.
