You’re arguing the wrong points. You didn’t really read what I said.

I don’t care about Javascript. I don’t want my computer catching dependency hell or cryptominer herpes.

I don’t want that shit rawdogging my system, go package it up into something sensible. I don’t want its entrails all over my system and I don’t want it breaking something elses dependencies.

I mean, last time I checked the kids in cages can’t vote yet. So its more than just voters.

I live in a city. Shits dope. Sounds like a skill issue, maybe you should upskill and move to a city where we have ✨things to do✨ other than sit at home and be terrified by cable TV.

Ha. Eventually, the bottom will drop out the market as low-cost NPUs pick up the model running. A good enough open model will emerge and there wont be a market for a paid model.

We’re already kinda seeing it on the hardware side. Eventually it’ll all dissolve into the hardware like how MPEG2 decode hardware for DVDs was once upon a time an expensive addon accellerator card, but is now fractions of a square mm of gates laid out as part of a larger assembly within the silicon of your GPU.

Previous employer gave me an m1 pro and it just lived in a drawer until I quit.

I’m sure some salesrep got a nice nearly new linkedin machine after that.

The hardware is nice to touch but it is unethically designed by assholes who hold you, the device “owner” in complete contempt.

That was my first reaction until I noticed its object-orientated.

Then I baulked at having to rawdog node and npm on my machine.

no thank you.

You get to use the TPM for something other than being entirely anti-consumer in function!

Its… something!

Eventually the circus has to go away because the cost of tokens is too high - its literally cheaper to train software developers.

Also, the cost to business from having business-continuity-ending events is gonna eat some of these businesses.

I recently got allocated an m5 macbook.

They last like 15 minutes before they’re chipped and scratched, the version of Bash they ship is a million years old, the UI is a fucking mess. Package management is a mess. The walled garden is a mess. I have had to brew this and fix my path for that just to have a working environment. This is ignoring the soldered on RAM bullshit. Can you even do memmap= to recover from bad soldered ram on a macbook or does it just become ewaste?

They sound nice and they feel nice until they’re scratched.

Also the keyboards are heinous.

If Jobs was alive, he’d be punching people for re-inventing Vista Aero.

I thought the UI was supposed to be good.

Fuck these devices.

I’m glad it smelled as suspect to someone else.

Its threads like this that make me glad that these people are running around making infinite work for me to be doing, fixing the messes these people are making.

Alas, noody wants to pay for the work to be done

The world is full of clowns and I don’t want to be in their circus any more

Yeah, I’d imagine its more a “Steven Miller forced to consult AIPAC handlers” than thinking about anything

forty tonners rarely turn up in your cul-de-sac with shagged roads, but nobody has a front garden because everyone has two crossovers.

its a funny sideshow everywhere until consequences come home for these people. alas.

Children who can’t learn not to touch the stove top without doing it at least once themselves…

A big bag of doritos should be no more than $1.99.

Because store brand is a dollar.

Their MBA-filled clueless management team did this to themselves, and will be rewarded anyway.

Absolutely lawless country lmao

Outrunning the chopper is more about endurance. Or its a lotus carlton and it just… leaves the chopper behind and disappears into the night.

40RA was one of the most prolific getaway cars in britain.

Is it a war on US tech or is it a response to an ceaseless assault of US tech industry bullshit?

Its because their concept of immigration is sitting in Mexico waiting for 20 years to be allowed into the US finally.

And because of American Exceptionalism, they expect to be an exception.

That and within the US, there are loopholes and gotchas you can use to get a visa faster.

Oh hey its that picture that the americans claim was them blowing up their own shit, the iranians claim they blew up, and was likely involved in a bungled mission to take Iran’s Uranium, which then we got told was a “successful rescue mission” without once seeing the rescuee in question.

I think its bollocks along with a lot of US claims.

Is “upward bullying” just “receiving valid criticism”?

They get paid inordinately, they can pay for therapy and thicker skin, fuck 'em.

It appears the article is more interested in telling us upwards bullying exists, is bad and they should be supported when it happens without actually giving any examples of what the fuck they’re talking about.

Looking at the Authors LinkedIn, it would appear this person is a nothing burger and should shut their fucking dickholster. (That’s right Bruce, I’m upwards bullying you you fucking know-nothing no-real-job-having failson. Eat a dick)
