Okay but why? Isn't the point of the pine phone to not have Google services watching your life?

Good luck in search results.

I'm actually more surprised to see the hacker news crowd actually has a sense of humor. Where has that been hiding for all these years?

Rust gives many times more performance than go but is harder to learn: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

Such a weird article. Gnome is an awesome desktop, and I can only assume the article author is used to Windows.

No desktop icons? Yeah we don't use that anymore, it's not 1990. We type one or two chars in the program name and press enter. If you want icons, you can have it through extensions, but it's a very old paradigm and you really should stop clicking icons to start programs. There is no need.

Gnome has a single button for Do Not Disturb, and now you have no notifications from any programs bothering you while working. How cool is that? Being able to actually focus.

I could go on but I don't actually care enough to do so. Someone being wrong on the Internet is OK. :)

Umm I switched away years ago to Duckduckgo but currently trying out Kagi which is even better.

Jeff Pezoz needs more money.

All information, and people are giving it to them for free. There is billions in dollar of profit from selling peoples data and the user gets nothing of that.

Because Google doesn't want you to have privacy and avoid tracking. They are in the camp that wants more of it, and they want to control it fully on the entire world wide Web.

You can have as many as you want.

Linux daily updates takes about 15 seconds (if you are on Arch) and can be done whenever you want.

Maybe that should be called a feature now in 2022, when comparing to Windows getting worse and worse.

You are on the Internet - you can find out anything (uncensored). :)

But yeah who has the time...

Hopefully tomorrow so we can stop worrying.

It's not a tell, I just used an example. Put any colors or genders in the example, the specifics don't matter for what I'm trying to say.

It's pretty much in every tv show if you watch TV. Strong woman = rude woman. Which I think is so stupid. It's not strong to be rude to people. It's just bad behavior and turns you into a bad person.

It has gotten to the point that we now have "strong wimen" insulting men everywhere but if the tables are turned, men cannot be rude to wimen because that's completely unacceptable.

I know this is the classic thinking about these things. But working in a company where they keep bringing in new employees that are rude (the "strong woman" template), it has given me something to think about.

It's just not a given that reducing out-groups makes a company culture better. It can make it worse to include those groups sometimes. It's just hard to know before.

But it's morally right to not exclude people so I'm of course supporting that. Just saying it may not be a sign of a good culture even though we may think it is.

Diversity has nothing to do with company culture being good or bad in most cases.

Example: Let's say the company has 100 employees and 90 of them are white and 10 of them are black. As a white engineer, it won't help you if they invite more black people to work there.

It's much harder to know if 90% of them are assholes and diversity will never help with that.

Kudos on the self insight there buddy. Not everyone bothers to self reflect about why they do the things they do. But they should.

Software like VS Code lives in cycles. It's popular now but you will see it being less popular every year. People will notice how it grows slower, buggier, and probably some unpopular decisions by Microsoft will annoy users. This is the default path for big software.

Vim will always be there and because it's not backed by big tech, it will continue to be modular, fast and modern.

Much like Linux, learning it means you are free, powerful and you will not get affected by the whims of big tech. This is very valuable.

Every year you use free software, you invest time in skills that won't go away and will support you for life.

I use treesitter from neovim so it's pretty crazy fast. :)

Install lightspeed and you will be amazed.

I see you are a man of culture.

And I really like the lightspeed plugin you have in your playlist there. So effective navigation.

I also use neovim session plugins which is great when having several projects.

Real science can also be debated and questioned, and two or more sides are heard on important topics.

We have $cience now.

Those are pretty awful networks... LinkedIn? There is much to say about that crowd... :) People literally advertising themselves all day long and upvoting politically correct stuff for virtue signalling to their followers. :)

I would recommend reddit for real humans, but stay away from the front page. It's awful.

I check the top posts every day for technical news but having fun is not the intended purpose of hacker news i believe.

If I want to chat with fun people, I use reddit.

We didnt have giant tech companies saving every search, every click you do, selling/giving your personal and private information to advertising and intelligence agencies.

We also didn't have this kind of massive centralization where most of the global internet traffic goes to Google, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon etc.

Sure you can find tiny spots on the Internet with 10 people. It's still not the same at all as to what is used to be.

You do know how to fix it - you don't loop in others until you want to.

The problem is our industry, forcing developers to exhaust their energy on pair programming in open offices. May as well be in a daycare center with children all around.

Completely agree with this, and this is why I simply don't loop in others.

I wrote a program the way I think it should be. Clean code, super easy to understand, super low complexity. Anyone can understand what it does.

Thats fun for me, when the code is very simple, reads like English and there are no complex functions.

I don't do real software engineering however (just business intelligence and python programs to extract and load data). But when it comes to looping in colleagues, I avoid it for the same reasons as above.

Its exhausting.

Hah - I wish it was that easy to know what the truth is...

Some of us see it, some of us don't.

I think the world is mad now personally but the majority seems happy with it. Lol
