What else am I missing?

The fact that 90% of people don't give a shit about ads, privacy or their operating system in general. They want a machine to open a browser, that's it. If Windows comes pre-installed, they'll use Windows.

The only realistic chance we've got is that MS shoots itself in the foot once more by all that Recall crap and businesses drop Windows. But that's a long shot.

Even if ai took over 90% of all coding work, that still wouldn't affect more than maybe two hours a day.

Paying 420€ per month at most for comprehensive healthcare and 49€ per month for regional/urban public transportation nationwide is really a chore.

And additionally, I even have to live with the burden of getting my master's degree almost for free! It's horrible over here! I can barely enjoy my 30 vacation days thinking about the situation!

It won't. Some people will scream bloody murder, most people will ignore it.

SO was in decline anyway. Most answers you'll find are several years old and outdated, because some idiot thought the new ones are duplicates.

So now a few people will leave, the spamming idiots will keep spamming the platform with low effort nonsensical answers and its relevance will dwindle just a bit faster.

Look at Reddit. Last year there was a huge outrage and today it's pretty much the same as before.

Most people don't care. Most people feel so powerless, that they'll accept every privacy scandal, every exploitive business strategy, every sellout of their platform.

I have to say, patents are my only real concerns regarding GMOs.

Most of the other concerns can be tested/ruled out, but patents could absolutely fuck up entire continents and literally enslave millions of small farmers.

It's 100% within the realm of possibilities that Monsanto puts a gene drive in their crops so suddenly every plant in a 20km radius produces "patented" seeds.

So you chose war?

Killbots have a hardwired kill limit.

.... And they're able to make chips good enough for their military.

Russia's military is in large parts only slightly refurbished soviet gear. For a T72 or even T90, a 90s era chip is still good enough.

Why do you think they dismantled all those washing machines? The microcontrollers in there aren't high tech at all.

Thing is, you have to measure from the user base on the underside, this graphic obviously uses the wrong method.

I mean, hardly anyone complaining about Java does so because of JVM bytecode.

I'm not sure, where the wasm hate is coming from.

Sad but true.

This country is desperate for workers and too stubborn and racist to actually let people work here.

Exactly. These people are downright evil. They at least accept that their actions kill thousands of people. Why would I has sympathy with a psychopathic murderer?

No, it has to be from the silicon valley, otherwise it's just sparkling oppression.

It started even earlier, after the ottoman empire fell/dissolved, British and French diplomats basically drew lines on a map Scramble for Africa style and created new countries out of nothing.

That created tons of tension already.

That's actually a more general problem here. Or maybe indicator.

Trump will spout an opinion on everything, but at the exact point where his opinion actually matters and would have consequences, he dodges and claims ignorance.

What a coward.

It's market manipulation for money laundering purposes, nothing more.

It's the high street version of putting an empty box for sale on eBay for 10000€.

"People that annoy you"

I literally got the description "make it look cool" in my current project.

We all know the context and can roughly guess what it means, but still...

Momentum. It's still the most popular platform for many niches and it will stay popular as long as it's popular....

Yep. The initial idea was to have a cheap SBC, that you could give to an entire classroom without being worried too much if some of them break. 35€ are not exactly cheap, but doable. 80-90€ is simply not viable for that purpose anymore.

At the same time, for more serious projects, it's lacking too many features like sata, pcie, etc., etc.

I feel like RPi is coasting on momentum, without a clear direction.

If you wouldn't be such a reader and instead memorized things like God intended, you'd know, that this sentiment existed for at least 2000 years:

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

• /u/Socrates

Many women seem to assume that penis and balls are attached actually between the legs, just like where their vaginas are. They are surprised, if they're told, the whole assembly is actually more "at the front".

The reverse is also true, BTW. A lot of boys struggle finding the vagina because from their perspective it's waaay too low.

We barely understand our own bodies, it's not surprising that we have problems with other sexes bodies.

It's baffling to me, that the US always claims to be the champion of freedom, but runs most of their education like part-time prison camps. My school here in Germany didn't give a crap about anyone's appearance. If you're street legal, you're fine in school.

I'm currently in the "Elvis getting fat" phase.

The German one is not that... Liberating:

So lang das Deutsche Reich besteht, wird die Schraube rechts gedreht.

As long as the German empire exists, the screw gets turned right. It's a bit dated.

It's the lack of perspective. There's nothing to work or live towards.

I'm in my early thirties and grew up in the last years of the "it's getting better" time, but nowadays it's all gone.

The political system in all of the West is ossified and unable to solve any of the real problems. Society is dominated by a gerontocracy. The economy is fucked for almost all participants, except the very few at the very top.

My generation will not have better lives than our parents. And there's absolutely no hope for it to become better . In fact, it's likely getting way way worse for most of us.

But then you aren't forced to buy a new phone every few years?

War and peace aren't that simple. Russia already shot a passenger plane down and nothing happened.

Windows 10 was supposed to be the "last version" of Windows and Windows 11 requires a lot of hardware that older machines simply don't have, most notably TPM. Microsoft creates thousands of tons of ewaste for no reason and the owners of this ewaste have to spend thousands or millions to replace machines that are perfectly fine.

Yes, you can circumvent these restrictions, but not as a business.

He starts sounding like Kim Jong Un.

And for what reason exactly? IPOs are either for owners to cash out or for the company to gather investment money. RPi doesn't really need money, they sell an extremely popular product. They literally can't produce enough product to quench the Pi thirst.

My guess is that all those artificial restrictions plus regurgitation of generated content take their toll.

There are so many manually introduced filters to stop the bot from replying "bad things" and so much of the current internet content is already AI generated, that it's not unlikely that the whole thing collapses in on itself.

Compared to Valley workers, Germans are still cheap. 100k is a very very good salary over here.

Teaching complete "clean slates" is a great way to re-evaluate your understanding.

I've had to teach a few apprentices and while they were perfectly reasonable and bright people, they had absolutely no idea, how computers worked internally. It's really hard to put yourself in the shoes of such persons if it's been too long since you were at this point of ignorance.

They had huge scandals about revenge porn and child porn in the past. It was so bad, that they deleted a substantial amount of their library, just to be sure.

BTW the brand is still Pornhub, but the company using that brand gets renamed. Hardly anyone knew that name anyway.

And the new Teams is not simply a replacement, no. It's called "Teams (for work or school)" or something, while the old app is "Teams classic". Both look the same and are the same sluggish mess. So why exactly did we do all that crap?

Maybe that happens if you design a car like an iPod with a bunch of engineers living in California and Texas.

We had the opposite problem. Mandatory training by an external company. They sent an email to everyone urging us to click here and do the training, otherwise our company might not be certified!

Even ignoring the pushy text, the entire mail looked sketchy as fuck, generic company name, low res logo of our company badly photoshopped into a banner.

So everyone ignored this obvious spam and our company lost the certification.

I don't think that's the point.

Summary: nothing of value
