I don't have a subscription anymore, but you reminded me that the new Severance is already on The Pirate Bay, thanks for the advice.

Or fix a simple syntax error. I've seen that a few times from juniors who thought they were too smart to learn, and it's painful to watch.

That or when SourceSafe was literally deleting random files because it was full of bugs.

Until they were bought twice and royally fucked up everything that was good since the 2000s.

Protect Israel? Never heard of that anywhere, it seems ridiculous. Also no one is encouraged to do business with anyone. It’s a personal spiritual thing, not a club (at least in liberal lodges).

You can use Ghidra to decompile it but it's a tiny bit more complicated.

That is absolutely NOT what I was saying.

When I was young, we had to buy compilers that cost $1000. Everything is free now. I don’t know what you need.

I’m not complaining that poetry is too hard because dictionaries are too expensive. It’s a lack of willingness to learn that is holding people back. The barrier to entry has never been smaller. Install Ubuntu, the end.

What’s your next step? Me working for you for free? I’m not complaining about poets, wood workers, plumbers, or people who build houses. Do you think you can build a whole new civilization with lazy entitled people?

Or you can be an idiot. Which might explain why so many people watch.

(warning: I hate "vibe" coding for a lot of reasons, and even more what it represents)

LLMs are the opposite of anything ecological IMHO.

What if you could build just the habit-tracking app you need

We have a thousand of those already. A better example is needed.

mold an existing app

That's not how any of this works. One more reason to shun those who do not care and take the time to understand what programming is all about.

the capital requirements of software development from millions of dollars

Linux is free FFS, install Ubuntu today and you have all the languages you'll ever need. How is ~~code vomit~~ vibe coding helping? Also LLMs are very expensive to run right now, it's the worst example.

Last but not least, I hate how all the CEOs, managers, companies, and random people try to: pretend that open-source does not exist, change the meaning of the word open-source by associating it with binary blobs, and show developers as selfish people ("tech wizards") who want to keep the technology for themselves.

You don't want to learn how computer works and it's fine, it's your right, but don't pretend it's anyone's fault.

Gimmick for me. I like innovation but I don't see the point here. The rectangle shape was almost perfect from the start like a TV or any screen. You can't really improve this except by using new magical technology like holograms or brain implants.

Also all foldable phones do break around me for those who bought them. Doubly stupid idea.

And that’s why I hate ads and advertisers.

 

Hi, since I got a better job recently, I wanted to give some money every month to the various organizations available out there. I have found:

My question is: on the u24 web site, I can send money through PayPal for most aids (humanitarian, medical, etc.) EXCEPT for the defense fund. Does anyone know why? Is it because it funds robots and maybe drones and PayPal would not appreciate that?

I'm asking this question because I have never seen this mentioned anywhere since the start of the war. Thanks for reading.
