As we all know spam text messages aren't a thing since it's very costly and hard to spoof cell phone numbers.

Clearly ego, you can always tell how full of themselves they are based on their media personalities going on the podcast circuit before product releases.

Weird, I rather have more government mandated vacation, public healthcare, and a pension system that doesn't mean I have to work in my 60s but I understand people have different priorities in life. Hopefully you move beyond the consume

Do you know of any other foreign governments that explicitly try to influence a host country at the detriment of its people? I can honestly only think of Israel + the US being the two worst offenders of this. Who else do you think is doing

A settler colonial apartheid state is bigoted by nature. I don't understand your defense outside of the word "bigoted" making you upset when you should be more upset at the rampant colonialism and genocide being done in the n

Progressive campaigns are more effective in capturing voters. We're talking a potential 8/10-to-1 differential here, sometimes more extreme for local campaigns. But yeah if you only rely on money and not people power campaigns are

I'm lobbying the government by helping elect politicians into Congress that want to impose a national moratorium on new DCs and helping organize groups across the US on how to properly resist these things.

That's fine, maybe they don't want casual users like you to be part of their community. There is a reason to prefer group coherence over availability. Availability doesn't actually help the group for most online communities,

Yeah but then VC use these metrics to fund projects and suddenly what was previously a joke now becomes a way to make wealth.

I'm a US citizen and I recommend people avoid most US corporations all the time. Helping US corporations does not help the blight of everyday Americans, all you do is make like a few thousand billionaires more wealthy. I also find the

50% productivity gains would be seen in real economic data tho, you're talk about potentially $5-15 trillion in real GDP gains; all we are seeing is just more mass consolidation of wealth into the hands of the few, we're even at t

As a US citizen I do not care about regulating China, they can figure out themselves. Just as they figured out how to imprison their corrupt CEOs, I'm confident they won't let corporations destroy their society like the US. I rath

Don't think open submission feedback is worth much anymore, at least not the amount of effort it requires to curate it. Having friction still seems like a great way to get decent feedback nowadays rather than needing to manually curate

Having people personally go out of the way for a little bit of friction tells you how valuable, and perhaps, serious these people are. I'd rather have that group of people contributing to my projects than fly by night agents that just

During the DOGE massacres last year where various tech bros were destroying the federal government, most of the stories were flagged from the front page of this site. There is a strong bias at play here, please remember when discussing anyt

Seriously. I did not consent to these companies to be manipulated into giving them money. It's an invasion of the public sphere, and worse it is highly authoritarian which should always be resisted on principle.

There's a lot of archaeological evidence that art + toys were made before tools by a good amount of time IIRC. It makes sense to me as humans were always social creative creatures and the ideas that we didn't want to express ourse

Because it's written by a type of dev that thinks everything should use JS because that's what they used for 6 months while working at a FAANG company before getting laid off and since they worked at a FAANG company clearly they k

I think it's time we start questioning more of the valley's mindset when it comes to good business and software practices. From lived experience it typically results in unhealthy work environments at best and society destroying at

Sure, they're backed by a VC company that is all in on LLM hysteria so everything they backed will have to back that narrative so they can dump their wares for a profit. It will cause the community to fail because VC dev tooling is uns

I've always wondered if I was using containers wrong because none of them I've ever had to create were complicated. Maybe it's because I choose tools that make local development easy (Go + sqlite + various CLTs) or maybe it&#

Dude the Flock cameras created this outcome. This is why the profession needs to have licensing and civilians should be able to sue said software devs for this amount of negligence.

Do you think it's acceptable to do the work of multiple full time positions? I can't imagine it's very sustainable, nor healthy for you (both body and soul).
