I can’t be bothered to learn git.

How to become unemployable as an engineer 101.

Dumb take. I don’t need to sit down and have a beer with my anti-vax MAGA neighbors to understand them. I understand them just fine, they’re brain damaged morons.

Well that other guy said it’s only 66megs so, you’re wrong.

Great rebuttal. Really got him with this one.

That ship has long sailed unfortunately. The industry gave up on optimization in favour of praying that hardware advancements can keep up with the bloat.

What reason could there possibly be to ban masks other than anti-science COVID denial.

I’d be afraid of this restaurant’s sanitary practices at this point. Do they believe in soap or is that also a hoax?

Sam Altman was actually president of Y combinator from 2014 - 2019. An interesting connection when you realise HN has been actively removing news critical of the Gen AI bubble hype.

Libraries offer far more than just books. They often double as community centers and offer lots of free services that could really help lower income demographics. They actually also offer audiobooks a lot of the time.

Besides all that, of all government services that are available, they’re cheap as fuck to operate comparatively speaking. The only reason to target libraries is because it gets the mouth breathers thumping. Nobody burning books (metaphorically and literally) has ever been on the right side of history.

Are you new here?

Regardless of intention, the US government put its stamp of approval on a lot of misinformation during the pandemic. Whether that was an attempt to deceive or just incompetence, it doesn’t inspire trust at all.

This is just blatant dog-whistling. What misinformation, bruh. Share your crazy conspiracy theories so I can dismiss them out of hand.

OP is an anti-vaxxer and COVID denier so, adjust your bullshit meter accordingly.

It absolutely does. If you’re rejecting basic, verifiable scientific facts based on your politics or religion, you’re fucking stupid.

How else was he supposed to keep the user base up!???

You just described colonialism.

Yep

That being said, just yesterday I looked at the man page for gcc because I wasn’t sure how to use a specific option and it was very useful. Gave me exactly the info I needed.

Maybe there is some merit to simply reading the documentation instead of asking to be spoon fed… I’m prepared to be downvoted to oblivion for this opinion.

My point was to illustrate a comparable big corpo’s flippant response to negative PR.

We’ve entered a stage in the software industries development where these mega corps are making so much money off of your data that they simply don’t care about PR, very often responding to negative PR in a consumer hostile manner.

Besides, Microsoft has been scraping personal data through Windows for over a decade. Why would they stop now? Business/enterprise licenses will likely have the ability to disable the recall feature. Regular consumers can go fuck themselves, as usual.

Would Microsoft even care? Do normies think about this kind of thing?

Google’s gemini has been delivering some pants-on-head stupid results in the search and Google’s comment on the situation was basically “ya, it do be that way”.
