My 75 years old mother can do it completely unassisted…

There's backports to install specific programs.

But I'm not here to convince anyone.

Use a stable distribution like Debian and maintenance only happens every 4-5 years, if you don't mind staying with older software.

He was doing neither. He was using a 3rd party API and has no idea what it costs them to actually run it.

We now have electric kickbikes… they aren't any better looking.

Is still there some indian online to guide them through difficult intersections?

I use them to generate obvious AI text that talks badly about AI on linkedin and get people riled up!

> Productivity gains of around 10 to 20 percent in most knowledge work.

Wasn't there a recent study that showed people perceived a 20% increase while the clock showed a 20% decrease?

Customers of slack care if they are paying tens of thousands for "waiting for slack to start"

Is the customer asking for a product that takes 5 minutes to open? Eventually customers do move away from crap… they're just very slow.

> There is a huge scientific merit of the algorithms for reaching a distributed consensus when not all participants can be trusted

Yes, they existed a long time ago and aren't wasteful as a way to generate "value".

I doubt customers specifically ask to make the product really large and slow.

My point being that the 20% right wingers aren't really a 20% minority… they're more like the majority.

I assure you that 20 years ago websites with chats existed and they worked fine. Which means they weren't so huge because it would have taken days to download that amount of stuff.

My org hasn't moved away but I use localslackirc to connect via my preferred IRC client.

I get perks like not seeing reaction emojis, gifs, and being able to mute the constant flow of @channel notifications by configuring a list of people or channels from which I am not interested in getting these generic notifications.

Also most importantly, since my company recently shifted from treating us like adults to telling us we must only work on the assigned tasks and for no reason go out of task, I configured it to not join general discussions channels where people ask for help and such things. In theory I'm on them, but from the point of view of my IRC client I'm not.

It re-joins automatically if someone mentions me specifically. Unfortunately it won't fetch the history when this happens so I might need to open the real slack to get the context before I can answer.

Anyway, it has worked mostly fine for me… I can have decent battery life and I don't get most of the useless notifications.

I don't know where you've met all those programmers who are good at their job. In my experience the ones who don't care beyond the questions "does it compile? Does it pass the test suite?" outnumber the ones who ask questions like "is this even the correct approach at all?"

Is being a tax haven and doing propaganda to tell your citizens how virtuous you are economically (what NL has been doing for several decades) not right wing populism?

If you are a regular at a bar of a well known nazi, you're a nazi.

Well, right wing lovers at work have asked me to take down sarcastic images of elon musk doing a "totally not nazi" salute, just in case someone who voted for trump might be offended.

Separate stack still uses memory, you need to prove the bounds.

recursion on embedded devices is terrible… you have very little memory.

Did Kamala ever say anything at all against what israel is doing?

Censoring people who disagree with you is not the same as no censorship.

> where the news happens

It never was, despite what lazy journalists led people to believe.

To me it's very useful. Whenever someone tells them go is their favourite language I know they can't be trusted.

Ads industry is already way way overvalued.

You can and I've done it… but you can't expect anything to be able to decompress it unless you wrote it yourself.

And? A single country can't decide to do that even if they don't have euro.

The original one is behind an extremely thick layer of glass that completely distorts the colours.
