I love the UI. You know what's clunky? Amazon. Amazon's UI is awful and their search is the worst (it's just about useless and I think that's by design.) It looks pretty though and I doubt you'll hear people on Redd

If the population isn't growing then there shouldn't be concern about the economy not growing. Unlimited growth isn't sustainable and shouldn't be expected.

Looking back I think the optimism for the internet in the 90s and early 2000s wasn't nearly as inaccurate as everyone says it was. There was certainly a lot of nonsense but I think most of what people thought would happen did end up ha

I'm totally ok with believing statistics that don't match my worldview. I've even adjusted my worldview because of some statistics I've seen but my understanding is that those statistics are flawed. A very important part

I live entirely without a smartphone. I hardly ever even carry my Alcatel phone. It's a lot easier than you would think.

I don't think NPM is interested in taking responsibility. IMO at this point the responsible thing to do is just don't use npm.

And that's what happens when only products can trigger push notifications on most people's phones.

Computer monitors and projectors are still free of the nonsense.

If bash had some way to specify that a command is "pure" (doesn't mutate anything) you could do this there (among other nice things.)

Man I really hate SPAs. Unless it's something like a drawing app or whatever where the back button doesn't even make sense they're usually awful.

I'd imagine power shell has some way to pull the available parameters out of cmdlets (they probably all inherit from some cmdlet class or something.) On bash you have to get this from somewhere else.

And most look pretty much like that.

I almost exclusively use FOSS. Most of it was ported a decade ago at least.

I'm not convinced deflation is worse than inflation anyway. With deflation people hoard currency and with inflation they hoard assets.

There's a conspiracy theory going around that the overreaction to Covid was because people wanted to hide how rough things were going to be economically.

God only knows why we still have net immigration. I guess despite the way minorities and lower classes are "oppressed" we're still better than everywhere else somehow?

But we still need H1B visas because the domestic population doesn't have enough coders.

At some point you just run out of money, which happened before the inflation really got started.

This looks exactly like what one of my friends in college wrote.

Also you can work from a restaurant and be surrounded by food and young women instead of the office where you're surrounded by cubes and grumpy old people.

I can't understand what on earth your comment is supposed to mean. Are you saying most people working on the kernel don't expect it to run on PCs? And so there are no resources dedicated to the suspend states? Also of all the diff

Why do people think this is so hard? I was onboarded remote. They send you a laptop and you do scrum and pair programming over your chat app.

Buetooth is just nasty and it's one of the few interfaces I feel uncomfortable turning on even on my Linux devices.

Newsgroups are still there. I still read and post to them as do plenty of other people. Your ISP probably doesn't provide a news server anymore but there are plenty of free ones for the text only groups.

This breaks a lot of sites that use custom fonts as compressed replacements for monochrome SVGs.

So here you get the worst of both on a slow connection. - The page takes an extra 100ms to load - ~ a minute later (when you're halfway through reading it) the content will jump by some large amount. There isn't a nice way to do c

Hibernate is all in the kernel. You trigger it by writing to a file in /sys. Your DE choice has nothing to do with this. Most things on Linux are actually like this, where everything is in the kernel or some other small project and the

The Android userspace is absolutely god awful and makes those projects hard. This would be running straight GNU/Xorg/wayland.
