I never had any social media account. Never. When Facebook was still in diapers I have predicted what will happen (while what really happened was far worse) and distance myself from it and warned all the others who, normally, didn't li

LLMs are a symptom, not a solution. Just another over-hyped bullshit (those downvoting will agree in few years or never as they are the ones riding the hype) that its only concern is to boost company stocks. Google is the proof, their searc

I would buy the book. Just translate all "new language" concepts into well known concepts from networking and system administration. It would be best seller. If I would only have a penny for each time I wasted hours trying to figu

I agree, but what pisses me the most is that today higher level abstractions (like cloud, spring boost,...) are hiding lower level functionality so well, that you are literally forced to use obnoxious amounts of time to study documentation

Android: Settings -> About (just checked mine, 10. . .*), check your IP. We have 3 providers in our country, all 3 are using ipv4 "lan" for phone connectivity, behind NAT and I am observing this situation around most of EU (Ger

How long did we need to support ipv6? Is it supported yet and more widely in use than the ipv4, like in mobile networks where everything is stashed behind NAT and ipv4 kept? Another protocol, something completely new? Good luck with that, i

Yep, if you capitulate from the start than nothing changes. And you as a user are giving them a chance to lock you into custom OTPs (that are just little changed standard OTP to force you to use their app so they can track you, steal your c

With FreeBSD they dont need to make it open source.

Yes, I am aware, that Apple is trying very hard to be the only one in ecosystem, that is tracking you where you cant do anything to avoid it due to completely closed phone. With such a cure, you don't need disease. That is why I was us

I don't really understand your point. Company A is corrupt, the company B and C are corrupt too (and D, E, F,...). We have 3 corrupt companies. Why would here be any problem saying that company A is corrupt? Or from another perspective

Not my argument. You are fighting Umberto Eco ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umberto_Eco ) here. Let me repeat him as you probably didnt catch it (I dont understand how, but this is one of the things, I dont understand

Whatever. I don't have time to fight every logical fallacy you produce. I think I have explained it well, there is no need for me to bother with everyone who doesn't understand it.

No. Crocks became popular after Idiocracy. Check the year they were shooting as it took them a few years to release it. Chat with Mike Judge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBu_RpKqCg8

I understood immediately where you are pointing. And I wish you would be right. Correlation does not imply causation.

Nope, I am quite rational here and if I wouldn't witness change in society, I wouldn't believe it. I am seriously worried for humanity, as what I am seeing today is: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808 (and

I was thinking a lot about it, but at the times of IRC and forums (and modems ;) ) this was not an issue on society scale. Facebook actually revolutionized it and made it available to anyone including showing the more contraverse opinions t

Trust Is Built in Drops and Lost in Buckets Negativity? Yes Facebook was negative for 20ish years and as a result of their behavior technical people don't like them. This is not something, we are wrong about even if your "negativi

For 1000$ difference in price, I wont buy those blends, there are zillions of others to try. So simple. Anyway, I have checked and there is some temperature control + you can get more if you turn up the steam making and turn back to espress

So we agree on most important factor. You can get a great espresso from 5 times cheaper machine. This is what I was claiming. Price / performance, not worthy. I mean, audiophiles are also buying audiophile routers (digital technology i

Yeah, I am also curious to see coffees on both done by professional barista, blind tasting and the results. edit: found something, but unfortunately, not the same barista and only two tasters. Plus decorations on milk gave a hint who made w

Actually higher end ones are at 20.000 euros, so I will rather drink my 6666 espressos in bar, made by professional, on 20k euros machine with zero effort. I am good for next 18 years.

Should I mention audiophiles? The first feeling when you turn on a new system, it will never come back, until you get an arguably better system... And the rabbit hole is deep. How much did you pay for grinder? I think this is worth (for esp

It is a different type of coffee, you cant compare. And "understanding it is a luxury" is why the prices are extreme.

Wrong narative. I love espresso. But comparing it with 250 euro espresso machine, I highly doubt that it will make 500% better coffee, for wast majority of the owners, cleaning one < 500 euros machine regularly would make more difference

Would love to play with it but for this price they can keep it. Dont understand me wrong, love the idea, but selling it for this price is just crazy. Consumers should be more aware that if they can afford something, this doesnt mean it is w
