You’re obnoxious. Hexbear is one of the largest instances, comparable to lemmy.ml which is where this was posted. There are also users from lemmy.ml and other instances agreeing with OP.
You’re just a huge fucking baby that thinks encountering lots of opposing opinions must be some grand conspiracy against you.
And if you need examples I invite you to read all of the responses in the thread objectively, and not as a hexbear user with already hurt feelings.
I actually did re-read the entire thread extremely objectively (I put on my maximum objectivity cap) and I stand by my initial conclusion that you’re a huge fucking baby.
Yes because people never communicated over the Internet before Glorious Visionary Entrepreneurs from the Great Private Sector took hold of it and gave us all these Valuable Products, they just sat on their ass wondering what to do with such technology like complete idiots.
I swear free market ideology is the dumbest shit you can possibly believe in, I’d sooner become a fucking Mormon.
Engineers and designers made it great. Reddit could very well exist without capitalism (see Lemmy). What fucked up Reddit was explicitly capitalist incentives.
How would you have communicated without someone owning a server and paying for it?
You do realize the Internet first started being used by universities and the military, not the private sector, right? I see literally no reason why Internet infrastructure couldn’t be publicly owned. It could function pretty much like any other public utility.
Sorry I just don’t buy into the ideology that the free market has this kind of “magic sauce” that makes everything innovative and better.
The early Internet was filled of people doing all kinds of cool things for free just because it was interesting to do, the only thing the private sector did is provide the base infrastructure, this is something the state can easily do too. All kinds of communities, FOSS software and media popped up and none of them had VC funding or expected any money out of it.
It was only in mid-late 2000 that capital really sank its teeth into the Internet properly.
I’ll never mention anything on the plane of course because I realize the parents don’t really have a choice and small children will inevitably act like small children but I can’t really help being annoyed by their behavior either. Some people just don’t like kids and that’s fine too.
I’ll take Linux hardware support over Microsoft any day of the week.
I’m really undecided on this. It really depends on the type of hardware, for example when dealing with graphics card drivers, especially nvidia I’ll take windows over linux any day. On the other hand on Linux I don’t have to install drivers for almost anything and things mostly just work unless the device is brand new.
I’ve been using all of the major OSs and they’re all good and they all suck in their own way. Windows does suck a bit more than the others, but I don’t think it’s as terrible as diehard Linux fanboys make it out to be.
I still use Windows on my home PC because bideo gaems and music production. I’d prefer to use Linux instead but oh well it’s not the worst thing.
If the democrats truly are the only viable “left” option then the only reasonable course of action would be to burn the whole state apparatus down and start anew.
You won’t advocate for that of course because the fact is you don’t really care about things being better, you care about pretending to be on the moral high-ground, so vague platitudes about things getting better in the abstract you get from democrats is just enough for you, because you probably endure no economic hardship and politics is just an extension of sports to you.
In principle I agree but considering the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel are participating in all competitions without any sanctions I don’t see why we should be making a special case for Russia.
From what I’ve heard from Google employees Google is really stringent with their coding standards and they usually limit what you can do with the language. Like for C++ they don’t even use half the fancy features C++ offers you because it’s hard to reason about them.
I guess that policy makes sense but I feel like it takes out all the fun out of the job.
No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.
ThinkPads are far superior than MacBooks for longevity
Not sure that’s true. I have a pretty top-of-the-line ThinkPad (3 years old) and it started falling apart after like a year of regular use. Maybe years ago that was true but nowadays I feel like everybody except maybe Apple has crap build quality.
It actually doesn’t have to be. For example the way I use Github Copilot is I give it a code snippet to generate and if it’s wrong I just write a bit more code and the it usually gets it right after 2-3 iterations and it still saves me time.
The trick is you should be able to quickly determine if the code is what you want which means you need to have a bit of experience under your belt, so AI is pretty useless if not actively harmful for junior devs.
Overall it’s a good tool if you can get your company to shell out $20 a month for it, not sure if I’d pay it out of my own pocket tho.
I don’t think it’s gonna go that way. In my experience the bigger the chunk of code you make it generate the more wrong it’s gonna be, not just because it’s a larger chunk of code, it’s gonna be exponentially more wrong.
It’s only good for generating small chunks of code at a time.
Oh that’s definitely going to lead to some hilarious situations but I don’t think we’re gonna see a complete breakdown of the whole IT sector. There’s no way companies/institutions that do really mission critical work (kernels, firmware, automotive/aerospace software, certain kinds of banking/finance software etc.) will let AI write that code any time soon. The rest of the stuff isn’t really that important and isn’t that big of a deal it if breaks for a few hours/days because the AI spazzed out.
I’m on a relatively well known private tracker. It’s just a kind of a tradition of some release groups to do this. I think it goes back to the times where this shit was shared through unstable FTP servers where you needed to restart the download of a file if the connection broke so they .rar it and split it into a dozen or so chunks. Nowadays it’s almost certainly unnecessary but they still do it.
I’m a dude but I’ve read experiences from some women online that they’re actually perfectly fine with men blowing their first load quickly, some even considered it flattering. After all you can go for a second round relatively quickly and what I’ve heard most women are fine with that so maybe doing everything to last longer right off the bat might not be the best thing.
I’ve found that people just do that because they think it’s necessary, even on social media where people don’t generally really give a shit about swear and sex words.
Hey, we should all really stop using racist slang to refer to customozation
