Real programmers will write in a way that user’s resources are not being wasted because you need a full browser, a JS runtime, and DOM juggling, to show even the simplest application.
It’s not rare for simple JS applications to consume over half a gigabyte of RAM on startup, and way more CPU than their native counterparts. That this was normalized and even defended is stupid.
Blaming old people is a defining trait of the young. When young, I remember blaming my parents for bringing me into this world that didn’t give me the things I wanted easily.
Maturing as an adult means taking responsibility for yourself, and doing the things you can do to improve your situation.
Of course one can keep blaming old people for everything until you’re old enough to be blamed, if that’s your jam.
Beware: you are now a different person than the one you were when you read that book for the first time. You could find it boring or silly if you read it again for the first time.
For you to have fast internet, someone had to lay out the cable from their comm centers to your house. They can still be overpriced, but they have a lot of infrastructure that VPN providers get to use for free.
Would you be disgusted at a dare to drink a liter of saliva from a mystery donor? That’s disgusting, because we’re instinctually averse to things that could make us sick.
Yet we drink one liter of our own saliva every day, but we’re used to it so it doesn’t make us sick. It’s normal but still kinda gross.
My point is, bodies do a lot of gross things, and our instincts usually squirm at the gross things other bodies do, but we have made peace with our own. It’s gross, but we don’t hate it, it’s doing the best it can to stay alive.
Kububtu was also rough around the edges even until 22.04 LTS, but 24.04 LTS finally delivered a stable, far more customizable desktop than regular Ubuntu.
So, it seems like I wouldn’t be able to change your mind because you’ve already made your position firm? Isn’t it neat that it’s happening in this thread?
I’d expand it to arguing with people who don’t want to challenge their postures. It’s the human condition that we substitute thinking with emotion by default, and it takes significant cognitive effort to mitigate that.
This is a disadvantage of the Fediverse: the owner of the instance dictates the rules, and the moderators are as prone to power trips as they are on Reddit.
Be glad you were banned from blahaj, it’s in the top instances of intolerance to group think defiance. If you manage to get unbanned, you’ll be always at risk of another impulsive ban.
Real life is hard enough to add gratuitous drama to it.
IIRC he was a talk show host, and I’ve always thought he was so flamboyant as a parody of how talk show hosts prioritize the show rather than the talk.
I think he is a brilliantly designed parody character, but some people have taken him too seriously.
Excuse me, but that’s like saying “my sex is 20x10x10x10”. The combinations are still in the thousands even if you use different notation. It’s like representing male/female as 0/1 and saying it only uses one bit, but everyone still hast to remember the name and expectations associated with that bit.
A sentient species with so many sex combinations would not bother to name each one, or attach specific sociocultural traits to all of them. Humans, for example, know like 10-20k words, passing sex ed would be like reaching master level in a foreign language. It would be a tag with less meaning, like age, height, or blood type are.
