You’re so kwel and super smart. But now it’s time for Coco and bed, and let the adults talk
- Comment on There you go little guy 1 month ago:
Sorry if it sounded aggressive. This topic hits close because I have at least 2 very close friends that continuously ignore speed limits and no argument dissuades them of the “speed limits are a way of controlling the people” mindset, et al. And I feel they’ll have a nasty accident one day
- Comment on There you go little guy 1 month ago:
I don’t disagree it’s disproportionate. But you know how rich and poor can avoid fines? Just fucking respect the limits
- Comment on There you go little guy 1 month ago:
Holy Molly that’s a bunch of bullshit you’re saying. Just drive below the speed limit and stop making excuses

- Comment on FAA grounds SpaceX after rocket falls over in flames at landing 2 months ago:
Can you explain how a booster that flew 23 times is a loss when no other companies are doing it? I don’t like Musk but people need to separate their views of him from SpaceX
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding" 2 months ago:
I don’t believe for a single instance that what he says is going to happen, this is just a play for funding… But if it were to happen I’m pretty sure most companies would hire anything that moves for those jobs. You have many examples of companies offloading essential parts of their products externally.
I’ve also seen companies hiring tourism graduates (et al non engineering related) giving them a 3/4 week programming course, slapping a “software engineer” sticker on them and off they are to work on products they have no experience to work on. Then it’s up to senior engineers to handle all that crap.
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 3 months ago:
I mean I get their feelings. Netflix et Al started with reasonable prices and then the greedy fuck heads raised the prices, so I bet Reddit would do it as well.
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 3 months ago:
The truth is in the better days of Reddit I would’ve paid 2 or 3 dollars to access Reddit if that helped maintain it sustainable and if some of that money reverted to mods. Now? Reddit can burn
- Comment on The Air BnB market is very competitive 3 months ago:
That’s a pretty bad argument if you’re making a case for these buildings. “It’s better than the streets”. What’s next? “Water and bread are better than being hungry”? I think we should cross a line somewhere.
I’m not making a case against those buildings, just your arguments is shit.
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
So someone who wrote their own functional operating system and browser from scratch which he is now targeting the public with, is not comfortable learning something new?
You are all assuming that the project will be c++ only when the authors haven’t said anything about the matter. Who knows if they aren’t open to moving to rust? The project is originally in c++, not only but, because that’s what the target OS supported.
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
Let’s be honest, we both were childish :)
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
English is not my first language. I saw the mistake and left it here. You, mature as you are, fixated on that simple mistake instead of answering the main point
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
I’m not sure 10 years old are allowed on the internet. Isn’t it time for Coco and bed?
- Comment on Recommendations for cheap hardware upgrade 5 months ago:
They are power and space efficient. That’s fascinating enough.
- Comment on Woodworking as an escape from the absurdity of software 6 months ago:
To me it feels like people romanticising their hobbies/escape activities. If they started doing it as work soon enough they would have lots of pain points and stress. Sure you don’t have CVEs or libraries to update but the deadline for that chair or cabinet you were commissioned is coming and you can’t just get the damn thing right. At the same time you have another customer complaining that you need to check some other stuff you’ve made that isn’t working right … see where I’m going?
I know a lot of people in the trades and they have very similar or analogous pain points as me in software.
- Comment on LinkedIn is the latest company to get in on gaming 6 months ago:
Ah the marvels of infinite growth and capitalism. Are we still allowed to say enshitification here?
- Comment on Half Life 3 6 months ago:
I think HL3 will only happen to push some frontier in gaming, like they did with Alyx and VR. It’s the only safe move with that franchise and all the hype

Librewolf. If all else fails I’ll pop my old Emacs config and browse whichever websites I can there

That’s a very good way of me leaving Firefox behind…

That’s because it doesn’t. He is the top level manager but there are many more engineers “under” him moving the pieces into place.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 1 year ago:
Nop what you’ve been doing is paying a billion dollar company to keep making their, once free product, worse so people can pay to make the bad parts go away.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 1 year ago:
To me, the ad tracking industry is completely out of control, and I’m not going to disable my ad blocker. So I signed up for YouTube Premium.
And you’re paying to keep it that way. You’re not paying for the added value YT Premium supposedly has, but to disable the enshitification they added on purpose for you to pay.
The only added value premium has is being able to switch off the screen and maintain YT playing. Still I’m not paying a 14$ subscription just for that. I pay that value for much more valuable software for my every day use with real added value.

Clearly they need to understand how… much data they can manipulate at once
