  • PGP can also do that, properly implemented, a PGP key with a large web of trust, can be just as effective at making immutable certified statements without having this weird cash based speech thing that crypto has going for it.

    The fact that every single action you do with crypto involves spending money is ridiculous. I don’t mean the scams and stuff, I mean, every single thing, every transaction, every smart contract, every interaction, who wants to play around with a system that just pilfers your cash from you just for the privilege of exploring it.

    At least with aws I can run code locally before they rob me.



  • Declarative, functional code is by definition much closer to ai prompts than any imperative code. Businesses are just scared of functional programming because they think that by adopting oop then can make developers interchangeable, the reality is that encapsulation is almost never implemented in a proper way and we should be instead focusing on languages that enforce better systems over slamming oop into everything.

    Hell, almost every modern developer agrees that inheritance is just bad and many frown upon polymorphic code as well.

    So if we can’t properly encapsulate, we don’t want inheritance or polymorphism, we don’t want to modify state, what are we even doing with oop?




  • I just don’t understand how someone can read all the warnings, get a driver’s license (implying their knowledge of the rules of the road) and presumably have years of driving experience and magically think it’s ok to just stop paying attention.

    It doesn’t matter if the car fully promotes itself as self driving, it doesn’t matter if the laws surrounding it still require you to be present and in control.

    It’s no different than 1000hp cars, just because the car is marketed as such, doesn’t magically make it legal to go 200mph.


  • This is so not true unless you are using some super stable old Debian release and aren’t doing complex work.

    Most DEs are super buggy, especially the darling child kde, which right off the bat makes things not super stable.

    Additionally some of the most loved distros are rolling release and inherently unstable.

    Hell, I use multiple distros daily, fedora and slackware, I also use windows for work, windows is by and large more stable in my experience.

    Slackware has kernel panics monthly, kde crashes on fedora, Wayland has too many problems to count, meaning I have to switch to x sessions all the time.

    Most GUI software I use has tons of visual glitches.

    Yes it’s tolerable, that’s why I still use it, but I wouldn’t exactly say it ‘just works’

    I would estimate I restart my fedora computer about 4-5 times more often than than the windows computer, and usually I have to restart fedora because of serious hard crashes (e.g. kde crashes so hard that I can’t even switch to a tty, meaning I need to hard reset)
