    This is all excuses. The fact that Trump made it all the way as the primary candidate for the GOP means that Republicans were okay with what he said and what he did.

    For a normal person, it shouldn’t even take a second to choose Harris. But this isn’t the case. Trump won the popular vote and the presidency despite all the crazy shit because a sizeable part of the citizens voted him in regardless of the reason.

    And not only that, but Republicans won the senate and well on their way to win the house.

    It is about to get real bad, and Americans have themselves to blame for that.






  • I mean, even as a sexual person, when you stop and think about it, it is indeed gross.

    But my reptilian brain craves it. And my logical brain just doesn’t give a fuck anymore about how it looks like. I mean, I change diapers full of shit and piss every day and I’ve seen my two children be born in an ungodly amount of juices. My threshold for being grossed out has become a lot higher.

    The issue isn’t you doing your hobby projects however you want, it’s people being paid and produce LLM generated code.

    And the biggest issue is managers/c-suites thinking that LLMs can replace senior devs.

    And the biggest biggest issue is that the LLMs in their current mainstream form are terribly bad for the environment.

    It’s rarely the case. You rarely work in vacuum where your work only affects what you do at the moment. There is always a downstream or upstream dependency/requirement that needs to be met that you have to take into account in your development.

    You have to avoid the problem that might come later that you are aware of. If it’s not possible, you have to mitigate the impact of the future problems.

    It’s not possible to know of all the problems that might/will happen, but with a little work before a project, a lot of issues can be avoided/mitigated.

    I wouldn’t want civil engineers thinking like that, because our infrastructure would be a lot worse than it is today.




  • The direction that the company is taking. Clearly that Bitwarden feels like other open source projects are diverting revenue from them.

    That’s a small step towards enshittification. They close this part of the software, then another part until slowly it is closed source.

    We’ve seen this move over and over.

    Stopping your business with Bitwarden over that issue sends a message that many customers don’t find this acceptable. If enough people stop using their service, they have a chance to backtrack. But even then, if they’ve done it once, they’ll try it again.

    Your current price is 10$/year now. But the moment a company tries to cull any open source of their project is the moment they try to cash it in.



  • Using Windows is terrible right now, but we’ve spent so much time using it that we developped workarounds and knowledge of the OS.

    When you switch to Linux, it’s a different OS altogether, and that’s not counting the different flavors.

    So yeah, all that to say that the pain and friction pass quite rapidly and you are left with an uncluttered OS (until you fill it up with useless crap).

    Corpos have worked so hard at making the UX “seamless” that people aren’t used to fiddling with the computer anymore.
