Agreed, the narrative to which you’re responding is the sales pitch and won’t be born out by reality long-term

I’m not even sure which elements of this are bait, sarcasm, or douche

FFS I was just about to buy myself one and now I’m obviously gonna have to wait until November

Oh, wait, I can just upgrade it. Nbd.

It’s a sales and letting agency that operates at least in the UK, dunno about elsewhere

But how much copper they gotta steal to pay for driving out to it? I need to check the price of copper.

Yeah but (with the exception of Pokémon) the graphics have moved on a bit

Once your computer’s working to your satisfaction, pretty much all you’ll need to do is alias sudo packman -Syu and try to remember to run that every so often. The arch Linux wiki is second to none, and if you stick with the distro you should find it all feels very familiar in no time.

Where I live, they haven’t all been. I suspect many feel about guns and pot the same way as you feel about drugs that haven’t been legalised in your area.

Anyway, legalisation of drugs isn’t the hard bit, it’s the regulation that can be tricky to get right…

Sometimes people just take drugs because drugs are fun … Not all of them are despairing or desperate…

The best calculator app is the interpreter for the j programming language

Male pattern baldness has something to do with testosterone I think? Like, ppl w/ more testosterone tend to lose more hair or summat

Tbh I have always had limited sympathy for people who want to be ‘developers’ but can’t be arsed to actually learn how to do the job. Will it suck for them? Yeah, probably. I kinda think they deserve it though.

It was already like that! Before it was vibe coding, it was dissembling in interview, leaning on your colleagues, and switching job every 3-6 months. But let’s not pretend there won’t also always be a class of people who actually find the challenge of programming to be interesting. People aren’t gonna suddenly change their nature just because there are new tools to inflate yourself with. An analogy might be that nobody knows how to calculate trig fns from first principles any more because calculators exist - this is patently false.

Absolutely not. Lifeguards literally save so many lives. Maybe it’s different in the US with its weird power structures and motives, but lifeguards are more like the fire brigade than the police here…

Yeah a grass lawn with no flowering lawn plants is dull and borderline sterile anyway. At least it’s not being replaced with AstroTurf

It was a glib joke that I wouldn’t have paid a creator to make $someRandomContentThatIWpuldntHaveSoughtOutAnyway. Honestly don’t care for AI art on aesthetic or ethical grounds tbqh, just a throwaway comment on the internet.

Yep very true. I actually intended my comment as an agreement but I guess something got lost in translation, lol
