  Sure the dev doesn’t owe anything, but he is actively putting in the work to remove existing support. Instead of just doing nothing he is sticking it to the linux user by removing support

  Then explain to me how the bazillion other open source cross-platform Windows-first projects do it. Dropping support for Linux moving forward is fine, but actively going out of your way to remove the existing support is petty and just an asshole move. Especially when paired with a license that restricts 3rdparty packaging.

  Seems like a skill issue on the part of the dev. GitHub lets you create issue templates and even forms. He could have made it so that every issue creator is warned that packaging issues will be ignored and closed without comment.

  I’m not bitching about the existence of code agents in general, I’m bitching about the general attitude of “Code Agents will replace programmers” because no the fuck they are not.

  They can produce one-off apps and scripts fairly well to the point where non-programmers can solve their problems (great!) but they lack the necessary sophistication and context to build long-lasting, maintainable and scalable applications, which is what you are hiring developers for in the first place

  correct, but if you’re paying someone to make you a dish you wouldn’t want them to just slap a frozen fish in the microwave and serve it to you. That’s what using AI to build enterprise applications for customers is like.

  when right wingers use words like “deregulate” they actually mean they want to regulate it so it fits their agenda.

  We already went through this in Germany, where gendered language was deemed “ideological” and “prescribing how to speak”, despite there being 0 laws requiring gendered language, and at least 1 order actively forbidding it. Talk about “prescribing how to speak”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do. Driving 61 instead of 48 km/h increases your distance to stop at an emergency by almost 8m. This is assuming 300ms reaction time. By the time you would have stopped at 48km/h you would still be ramming whatever it is you’re emergency braking for with 40km/h 15km/h if you go 61km/h.

  Speeding is no joke, please read about how braking distance scales with speed. Especially if you go 50km/h in a 30 you’re spelling a death sentence for anyone and anything running into the streets. And no, “they shouldn’t run on the street” is not an argument, children and animals will always do unpredictable things, and being inattentive isn’t a reason to execute someone

  Edit: used km/h instead of m/s in my calculations

  In other words, the child that ran on the street would be dead.

  if you want to know how well ICEs can perform with a functional rail network, look to Spain’s renfe. It’s built by Siemens and basically an ICE with a purple strip.

  Hence why I never tidied up my room as a child. My mom is in on it

  agreed

  Maybe dumb question, but I didn’t follow this too closely: Why don’t they just update their software and install a backup?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  with hyphenated names: what would the children do then? you can’t keep adding more and more names like that (both practically and legally in some cases). serious question because I’ve also thought about that
