During COVID, I was bullied by my bosses and severely depressed. I gave my 2 weeks notice and, as part of transferring the knowledge, I drank a few strong beers and made a Zoom presentation in front of 50 people about some obscure assembly language stuff that no one cared about because it was too weird yet essential for the company. After one hour of being perfect, I answered some questions and I went back to sleep.

I won’t do it again though because it’s bad for one’s health, but it was awesome.

I achieve better results when I’m drunk-coding.

AI slop, not programming. We have a winner!

Or live in a country with laptop-filled landfills or free old laptops roaming the streets.

Sad truth but regular users don’t care about security updates.

Every time for a long time. Regular users would have more reliability with Linux but they are apathetic. Also they only need LibreOffice and Firefox but don’t want to accept that fact ant dont believe it exists on Linux.

My engineer father (who was secretly a dumbass for 60 years) asked me if Linux can even run programs. He has a Windows machine full of viruses…

The command line of jj makes sense and is easy to understand. I have to use graphical git clients because I want to cry every time I have to use its CLI.

screwing up git commands

You mean “using git.” It’s the only piece of software that I hate with Oracle. Jujutsu is a breath of fresh air and I can ignore that git ever existed.

I would ask for a refund because it’s a broken TV. I’m not kidding, who the fuck accepts this?

It’s not smart if it’s not connected to anything. Only HDMI.

Please tell me because I have been using Windows at home and at work for more than 30 years and I still believe that most people only need Firefox and LibreOffice.

For the past whole year, yes. Hacker News is now 1/3 technology, 1/3 politics, 1/3 AI. It’s annoying.

Yeah, it’s very easy… as long as it’s working, which it is not, at all.

And in a million years, people will still do everything possible except install Linux. Ubuntu is 20 years old and it was already a decent alternative to Windows back then. People are idiots and we shouldn’t be sorry for them.
