The problem here is that the technology is owned by capitalist overlords.
And their goal isn't improving your QoL. If that was the goal we would already enjoy 4 hour work week long time ago.

It is a double edged sword.
If you're already experienced developer and you use it skillfully, validate produced code it can help.
If you aren't (and unfortunately everyone thinks they are better than they actually are), it actually can do the opposite, it can help generate a lot of junk code.
Now when working in a team usually majority of people aren't that great developers typically there might be one or two star developers. The problem is that the other people will still use AI and generate MRs. Reviewing those is extremely time consuming and no one wants to do it. It's weird to say what's exactly wrong with those MRs they seem to do things but they seem to do things in a more complicated way.
The thing is that no one wants to review those MRs, everyone is afraid to point AI slop, so the quality of code goes down and even the people who previously were good are getting lost in the code themselves.
Really? I saw two of his articles and also interview and everywhere he was negative about it.
They've basically reinvented a mix of payphones and library PCs, but more invasive and more expensive
No this isn't even the same thing. Library PC is made available to you for free (paid via taxes). Payphone was a bit a different breast, as they supposed to make phone service available at any place when before we had cellphones, although they were also available for free (you paid for making calls though).
Over here they want to remove ownership. Instead of owning a house, you rent an apartment, instead of owning a car you pay to use self driving one, instead of owning a movie or music (yes, I know) you pay for streaming service, and now you won't even own the computer in your pocket.
Basically they want society where we don't own anything and only pay subscription fees to live. This push toward that world is called technofeudalism. Only billionaires own things and we are just serfs at their mercy.
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, is the proper name, but sometimes people anglicized it to Bavarian Motor Works.
LOL, I thought the whole point of this was to encourage people to migrate to the new layout.
It's crazy that few days ago I learned what BMW stands for and now I see it everywhere.
Is that pop-up on the "new" Reddit?
Firefox (including the one on Android) has extension called libredirect which... redirects to those privacy oriented frontends for lurking.
I was heavily addicted to Reddit and I'm glad they allowed me gradually get off of it with the API (never installed their app) and now blocking read only access (which made me use libredirect).
Given that content quality is also degrading I never felt urge to to use the app, now I don't log in (using the lurking portals makes it more disruptive to leave a comment, I always log in using private tab) and I suspect I eventually will stop using even that (there's only few subreddits that I am still interested in).
Next we learn that the crackpot theory about lizards living among us is actually real.
They also track faces and can even report gender and race if their customer thinks that's useful information.
It is a thing. Now, locals might be ignoring it, but that's because they know where it is unlikely they will get caught. If you're not a local it is better to keep it or at most drive the same speed as everyone else.
I've been in Poland recently and the speed signs seem to be designed to make very hard to maintain them, like they want to have easy way to ticket anyone.
Like you're driving, there's 70km/h then 50 then 70, then 90, then 50 (pedestrian crossing, it is always 50) then 90 and all within short distance. I noticed that many drivers either go faster over 50 zones or if they in 90 zone go slower so they don't have to reduce speed from 90 to 50.
In US (or at least in California) seems to be more stable. So you have 35mph on roads, 25 on residential areas (usually you don't go through them unless you're reaching your destination) and 65 on freeway. There might be some signs that modify the speed (make it higher or lower depending on condition of the road) but it feels justified.
I also visited Czechia and their speed limits seem to be more reasonable and easier to follow.
