In 2012 Microsoft launched Windows 8, which was supposed to be a first step towards transitioning the OS into a walled garden. They clearly intended to shut Steam out, eat Valve’s lunch and take over PC gaming. In the end they backed down, but Gabe took the hint. The consequences are still steadily unravelling today.

So I’m guessing this was before actual ears were invented, and all you got was a couple dumb tiny holes to pick up the noise?

Linux isn't (just) better, it's also more FUN!

I ditched Windows for Linux some weeks ago precisely so that my OS stops fucking me over.

When management forces you to use AI

Right? We got two opinions on genAI among our non techs:

"genIA is a joke and cannot replace human creation."
"Are our programmers writing all the codes instantaneously with genAI yet? Our competitive edge is at stake! O the productivity!"

There’s definitely an opening there, but it’s an uphill battle.

Very wrinkle brained. Much time spent in the river.

Debugging

Aw come on, debugging can be fun. I love the investigative vibe of it. You get to be your favorite detective. You start asking around. You pin the the culprit. You get closer and closer to damning evidence. And then Bam! Fixed. Another mystery solved. Mine’s Columbo.

I've been playing an MMO that you can only play via rest API calls: Artifacts

That sounds really awesome. Can you be bullied by stronger players, or you can just do your thing and interact if you wanna? Not into competing/fighting other players personally.

What kind of music do you listen to?

IT is not known to be a very diverse field, so I guess it’s not surprising that some music would be more popular with our crowd.

I like post-punk, post-rock, shoegaze, synthpop, electronica, dungeon synth, ambient, chanson française, that’s mostly it. If I had to pick one all time favorite band Cranes would be it. Discovery of the moment is Dry Cleaning.

That captive aardwolf is scared though. They're not ordinarily puffed up like this. A chill aardwolf is a smooth, slender boi.

"Works for me"

I agree with you that failing to support multiple browsers is an old problem, but I think the cause has shifted.

Back in the last century, supporting both browsers amounted to sniffing the browser and implementing the same feature twice. document.layers vs document.all for example.

Nowadays I think the problem is different: we just don't know what's going on. The site is transpiled from TypeScript, written on top of React or Vue which drastically switches paradigm (bonus for Tailwind), packed with building tools, and the average dev has little understanding of what actually comes out. It's a tall stack of leaky abstractions on top of the already tall one of the web. The dev is pretty sure it works on Chrome so they say it does work there, but it was not even a deliberate choice.
