Yeah the obsession of like “make it a home” is weird to me in a world of rising living costs and very few being able to afford a house. My apartment complex just raised my rent $200 this year and that’s low compared to the market. Why the fuck would I put posters or photos up I’m going to have to take down when I can’t afford the next rent increase next year?

There’s plenty of criticisms to be made against Apple, iOS, etc, but “the only good thing” is a super generic and reductive statement. Proper sandboxing, app review by humans for people just hitting “install” the A chips leading to the M chips which are forcing competition, are all good things, and there’s more. Apple is overpriced, molds the market, fights against being a monopoly, takes advantage of international supply chains and people, that’s where they deserve the most criticism rather than their engineering specifically which has caused a bunch of really good tech things, not perfect, and not binary

Ironically I believe flash mostly died for that as a founding moment on why apple would not support it on iPhones. Adobe only finally killed it after safari decided it wouldn’t support it

But also implemented incredibly stupidly. You are purchasing a url in a blockchain that points to a server a singular person or org owns in most cases. That gets rid of any point of the blockchain. With enough money I just buy that server, the image url you purchased is now under my control and now it’s porn or something unless you pay me to restore it. There were very few NFTs where the actual thing you’re buying is on a distributed blockchain rather than a pointer to a centralized and privately owned server. In programming terms it’s what rust does to prevent bad pointers with doc.rust-lang.org/…/ch04-02-references-and-borrow…

But do ants taste like soap or cilantro

We need a study on if that’s the divide. If you can smell ants you also think cilantro tastes like soap

Yeah one of my favorite little stories / poems is something I read on Tumblr years ago. It’s currently attributed to Swan Jolras:
we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering “is there anybody out there” and hoping and guessing and imagining
because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe
and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us— we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, we’d never get to meet them
and then
we built robots?
and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image
and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more! , maybe we’ll be gone
but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?
the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.
and they told us to tell you hello.
The astronauts of today from various nations literally live and work together in shared space stations, less concerned with who’s tribe is better and more concerned with, you know, space, which is vast and doesn’t give a shit about our petty differences

Not to mention generally enterprise devs aren’t beholden to public launch dates set externally by publishers and therefore end up burning out really fast trying to make a deliverable happen. Not saying that doesn’t happen elsewhere in software, but it’s really common in the games industry

conservative feminism
Ah yes the old
freedom for American internet choice act
Or whatever that actually means that the ISPs in power have the freedom to maintain control without competition and ensures Americans have no choice in internet provider
E.g. it’s literally the opposite of what it says on the tin

at what point do we expect the individual to forfeit their life for their morals?
The amount of “why aren’t Americans just going out, buying guns, and shooting suspected ice agents” has me think too many aren’t thinking through this question rationally, unfortunately

Fuck that “professor.” A college degree is an overpriced commodity and they are falsely charging students by not teaching them the course

I also sort of blame it on the social media culture of being “constantly connected.” In some workplace cultures, (especially outside the dev space), not being constantly visible and grinning is the same as not consistently posting happy updates on your feed and consuming them.
I remember in my last job we had an “open office” plan after buying and renovating a huge space, and I found a niche little area to set up my desk without people staring at me and when people came to ask me questions they would say shit like “oh so this is where you’re hiding!”
Yes, on company property in the main workroom seated at my company desk using my company computer.
Thankfully my new job is fully remote, so fuck all that weird social noise when at the end of the day I’m just whoring my brain and fingers out so I can pay my rent and buy groceries
