You think the Rockstar marketing team is trying to scam people with a shitcoin? I am not shure even greedy CEOs would sign that...

I mean that and the leaker is German and has been active for a while as it seems

Any distro can break at any update. If you've ever done a major upgrade on any fixed-release distro, you have very likely experienced some sort of issue.

And the solution is very simple (and the same for all distros): Enable Snapshots, roll back if important stuff breaks.

...That they have to shut down all the time because of droughts. And they basically need to rebuild half of it, because the maintenance cost is so high, it is constantly pushed into the future.

Few emissions? Yeah. Good? Nope.

Believe it or not, they sold all 20

I won't miss writing code. In part because I still do when I feel like it, but also because most of the time it is extremely boring. A mere mean to a goal for which you probably have the path mapped out in your brain already. It is basically just busywork at that point.

There are these moments where you need to squeeze out performance, where you change something about the UI or generally visuals and get a pleasing result, or where you discover a small tweak that collapses a lot of complexity you originally planned for - but that is, in my humble experience, not the norm in programming. The vast majority of code is boilerplate or stuff you have already written a thousand times in some variation. The more experience you have the worse it gets.

I was ecstatic when I realized how good agents have gotten, realized how I could focus on design and architecture and with small corrections, get more than adequate software. Because for me personally, programming is the least fun part of software development. Most of the time that is. And you can hate it all you want, but programming is a skill worth nothing on its own now, and it will never be again. You can take solice in the fact that you can still do it for fun if you want to.

Wait, you are not telling me you use a single 3 layer piece to wipe, are you?

Just remember: Rule 34 exists for a reason.

It is an important topic - don't wanna get your boy pregnant by accident. Thorough research is a must

I would actually love Proton to spin up a service for age verification that actually does just that. Be it only to see how fast governments start complaining when they tell them they don't have any data on their users...

I don't want my stuff streamed to even a small company. I'm talking OSS and local processing. I'm mostly into it for AR with smartphone integration, I wouldn't mind having no mics and no option to permanently store any images of that thing

Why would I? For AR you need mostly spatial data and you can drop the rest. Actual image data is more interesting for stuff like live translation - but it is well within my own interest to not have this stuff send anywhere.

If you want to avoid eyes and ears everywhere in genral, I have bad, smartphone shaped news for you

I'm all down for smart glasses, I just don't want anything megacorp on them. If they are to have mics and cams, I want those for AR and voice commands, not to stream me taking to piss to creepy Zuck and his pervert friends.
