The problem is if we’re not just saying “yes” to everything, especially AI, we’re sidelined and ignored. So what inevitably happens is there is a bifurcation of the employee base between those who have actual principles and experience enough to see the bullshit and enshittification that CEOs are doing with “AI”, and those who will continue to lick their boots in order to get paid. “AI” is yet another in a long line of divisive tools that leadership are happy to employ.

Literally nothing is disqualifying for his supporters. This is what they want and believe. This is what a lack of proper critical-thinking-based education wreaks.

If Kamala wins, and the house gets Democratic control, this nightmare, for now at least, will be over, despite any threats Trump and his ilk will lob. If either of those turn out the other way, I do not expect this will end well.

I also have family who support him. It is the worst feeling seeing people we respect (or at least had respected) turn into Trump sycophants simply because of identity politics and hatred of anyone who isn’t them.

It shows who they have been, this whole time. And it’s like being shot in the heart.

Nothing will turn his supporters. They already sold any shred of intelligence they may have had by simply supporting him. They know exactly who and what he is — and they love him for it.

That’s because it’s pure bullshit. And this repo will be deleted or abandoned in a month.

Good news is that he’ll be quite dead soon from all the fast food and his old age. I would piss on his grave if I could.

Anyone who still uses Twitter either condones what Musk has done and is doing, or is completely oblivious.

I long for the day it dies the death it deserves and Musk is left holding the bag having to pay all the debt. If only he’d be forced to do that, but like all rich assholes, he’ll get out of it somehow.

Policies that have been in place since Reagan, but sure, let’s land it all on Kamala Harris, right this moment.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with sowing discord and divisiveness instead of dealing with the actual immediate threat — a self-admitted wanna-be dictator with a sycophantic Supreme Court and nothing to stop him from immediately ruining the country.

If Trump gets in, it’s because of the immensely ill-informed, willfully ignorant, or havoc-wreaking/rapacious voters, not because Kamala wasn’t raked over the coals.

Keep trying this bullshit, I’m sure it’ll work on some.

His foreign policy of “Fuck you unless you pay us more” is preferable?

Also, her name is spelled Kamala and I’d wager you know that.

But thanks for trying.

Making this election about this one issue is exactly what Trump (and his ilk and foreign supporters) wants. People are falling for it again just like they did in 2016.

If you want everything to burn, and the US to cease being a country, then by all means, vote for Trump and fuck over the rest of us who are actually reasonable people who would want reasonable solutions to a wide variety of issues.

Damn good point! I feel the same way about CEOs as of late and how they think AI is going to solve everything, even problems they invent just to say they’re using AI.

In my experience, as a 25-year developer in mostly OOP languages and frameworks, is that people who attack OOP usually don’t really understand it and its usefulness.

And to be fair as it relates to attacking languages or language concepts, I attacked JavaScript without fully understanding it, many years ago. I now understand it more than I ever have in the past and it has some good qualities.

So these days it’s no longer the languages or language concepts I take issue with (though I’ll joke about JavaScript from time to time). It’s the developers who misuse or misunderstand the languages or concepts that irk me. And especially the developers who think being lazy is a virtue.

And I won’t bother to watch it because I know all I need to know about the moronic felon. Enjoy the show :)

I have been using Linux off and on for 25 years (using the server pretty consistently, but always hedged with the desktop for various reasons). Since Proton and GE-Proton allow every game I want to play to work in Linux, back when Recall was first announced, I decided to finally stop hedging and went all in on the Linux desktop.

And I’m not going back. Everything is working for me and Microsoft can screw off if they think I’m going to allow such blatant spyware in my house. Their telemetry was always suspect, but this is now overt despite any assurances they attempt to make.

Edit>> And their “oh you can uninstall Recall” isn’t trustworthy when they will easily reinstall it with a Windows update (they have done this in the past with other software — notably Edge and Teams).

This article sounds a decade old.

systemd attempts to cover more ground instead of less

Have I got news for the author about the kernel he seems to have no issue with. (Note: I love the Linux kernel, but being a monolith, it certainly covers more ground instead of less, so the author’s point is already flawed unless he wants to go all Tanenbaum on the kernel, too)

This is the programming humor community. Emphasis on the humor part.

Oh so now that the oppressive ideology and regime are affecting them, too, the men suddenly have a problem with it. Seems we’re at the “and find out” stage.

One of the few giants upon whose shoulders we all stand.

It’s nice to know we can break the law and get away with it, as long as it’s within the scope of our duties.

The flaw is that journalism and journalists today no longer have any integrity and fidelity to the truth. They only have fidelity to what gets the most clicks and what makes the most money.
