I’m what you could describe as an optimistic nihilist. I understand it might now satisfy everyone, but for me, the certitude that we’ll ultimately all be forgotten and erased from existence, as time passes and the universe slowly drifts into heat death, is an extremely liberating idea. The lack of an objective overarching meaning to life means that I can choose one for myself, and I genuinely think the best way to do it is to try to make everyone’s time on this drifting ball of rock and magma suck as little as possible.

All this to say, I don’t really fear my own death, but the impacts it’s going to have on the people I love.

This. I haven’t touched PHP since 7.1 dropped, but error messages and stack traces were pretty far down my list of complaints about the language.

Every time I see these comments, I wonder if I was just lucky with my scrum masters and most actually suck, or if it’s confirmation bias. We don’t have a scrum master where I work, but my whole job as lead is keeping things rolling, and this would be just unacceptable.

Did I miss something OP said that made you think that? I’d indeed be happy I could smoke again, too. There’d be existential crisis and all, too, but cigarette would 100% be back. Man, and it’s been like 10 years, imagine someone who just quit lol

I remember the split-screen multiplayer to be insanely fun as well.

There is zero way these people didn’t know this would eventually happen. Anyone who was looking at this going on with a critical eye would have seen it coming from a mile away. Tons of more senior tech workers knew it would happen eventually. The market is especially rough for juniors right now.

I haven’t really looked at his content in a good while. He seems to have gotten more confident in front of the camera. Some of his earlier stuff felt quite awkward at times, IMHO.

As usual with these laws, the people writing them are most likely completely removed from, don’t really care about, nor understand the underlying technologies they’re legislating on. Easiest example to illustrate this is looking at countries pushing for (or already adopting) anti-encryption and online age verification. It’s almost always with those half-measure laws that the most dystopian, privacy invading, abusable stuff gets voted through.

A toothbrush and a decentralized social platform may have different needs

I’m pretty sure spoiler tags are just not part of the markdown specification. This would mean it’s probably easy enough for an application developer to just take the raw comment and pass it to what I assume would be a markdown rendering library (haven’t done app dev much), but spoiler tags won’t work without some additional work.

Incorporation and ownership/funding are very different things. How are they all “owned and funded by governments”?

Both were just a pain in their own right, IMHO. My previous Focusrite interface was quite fiddly to get working with ALSA and just worked OOTB with Pulseaudio. I also don’t miss messing with ALSA/JACK at all.

Pipewire has pretty much been a drop-in replacement for me, with how it can act as a Pulseaudio backend.
