Blockchain? Oh, hah, no no... none of us were ever hyping up a tech we didn't understand as the solution to literally any problem.
Say, have you heard about AI? It's a revolutionary technology that's the solution to any problem!

The reason you "git blame"
Like 85% of the most recent YC class are "revolutionize x with AI" crap.
...according to my union statistics...
I mean... you've got to be trolling at this point. No one is this clueless.
LGTM!
Plus it has a large library of great games that can be found cheap/used. Easily worth $100
Most of what you'd be playing on PS5 are PS4 games anyway
I'm really good at searching Google. I'm a "prompt engineer" too
Whoa. It's like I'm seeing clearly for the first time in my life. You've opened my eyes and I will now immediately stop enjoying things because you, for some reason, feel so weirdly insecure about your own tastes that you felt the need to write, like, 25 paragraphs (that I absolutely did not read) seeking validation from internet strangers.
Really though. What was the goal here?
Ergo keyboard and vertical mouse.
I'm currently using the Logitech K860 and the Logitech MX Vertical. Easy rec - cost effective, easy to get comfortable with as opposed to the more intense/expensive options.
Made a huge difference for me.
On the off chance you're actually serious.
The thing I was pointing out is that you have a union. Unions are actively and aggressively busted by US companies. Almost every US state has "at-will" employment laws that mean you can be laid off at any time for pretty much any reason at the drop of a hat.
All of a sudden that 400K or whatever you were expecting to make this year turned into $0. You no longer have health insurance. Those RSUs you had vesting this year are gone (and those RSUs made up a big chunk of your compensation - that's how people get into the 300-400K+ a year numbers).
The highs can be high, but the lows are very low.
Which is fair. If it's something you use all the time, obviously an app is usually going to be the way to go.
But the reason they want you to install the app is so they can send push notifications and track you more effectively
I actually winced
Yeah, it's a lot to pay for a keyboard that might not work out for you. That's why I suggest the Logitech.
I'd prefer one without the numpad, personally like the old Microsoft Sculpt, but for some reason MS refuses to update that keyboard to a more modern, lower latency wireless tech.
I'm currently flirting with some of the mechanical options like the Moonlander, but haven't yet pulled the trigger on that one.
As for the mouse, seriously the vertical mouse made a HUGE difference for me. More than the keyboard honestly.
I feel like we're splitting hairs here. MIT is an extremely permissible license. The fact someone could take this and make a closed source fork doesn't affect the existence or openness of the MIT licensed releases
A classic
Bluesky is still in beta. It's intentionally not open to the general public because federation hasn't yet been opened up and they only have one instance running.
The nice thing about Bluesky's architecture (over ActivityPub) is the fact your content and identity is portable. So you can move over to a different instance as they start to come online.
I think the important takeaway from articles like this is the fundamental misunderstanding of decentralized social protocols. It shouldn't be on one central authority how things are moderated globally. These kinds of articles kind of prove the point.
Buy the cheapest MacBook model you can find with an M-series chip and as much RAM as you can stomach the cost for.
I'd say 8gb is barrrrre minimum for doing app development. You'll want 16gb.
Listen, I'm the last person you'd expect to recommend a Mac. I am an Android guy. No other Apple products in my place.
...but I've owned every top end model from pretty much every relevant PC manufacturer just trying to find something as reliable, hassle free, and well built as my work Mac and it just doesn't exist.
The MacBooks are just in a whole other class. The battery life, the standby time, the speed of those M1/2 chips, runs cool and quiet.
I'm neutral on MacOS. It tends to stay out of my way. I don't use any of the Apple apps. It is usually stable as hell. My work MBP currently has an up time of 68 days without a reboot, and the only reason it rebooted last time was for security patches.
Build quality is unmatched, screen is great, trackpad is still a generation ahead of anything else, keyboard is great.
I accept my fate, Fediverse. Roast away

Even their web and mobile clients are FOSS
The FUD and misinformation on here about Bluesky an AT is wild
Just because people use "for the children" in inappropriate scenarios to further an agenda has nothing to do with this discussion and you know it.
If you make a tool to essentially hide people's activity online, you KNOW what it's going to ultimately be used for.
...and you clearly think it's worth the trade off. So no need to continue
Not defending LMG's mistakes, but GN's opinion that you should not ask for comment doesn't hold water.
GN definitely has an agenda here. He made several comments that made it quite clear he's resentful of LTT's success.
While I don't think anything he reported is false, it's all wrapped in a narrative that relies on implications. He certainly makes a whole lot of hay about a few small mistakes and heavily implies LTT is in the pockets of their sponsors and a conspiracy theory that LTT is only successful because of some connections and preferred treatment by YouTube.
He's very much trying to establish a narrative that LMG is wildly corrupt and undeserving of their success. However, a lot of it comes across as sour grapes.
Locks don't make predators untraceable
You really can't have it both ways. It's morally bankrupt to launch protocols that clearly will be used for abhorrent purposes and simply hand wave it away because you're uncomfortable with the reality of the situation.
I think we all wish that weren't the case, but it is.
Saying crap like it wouldn't be a problem if law enforcement would just "git gud" makes you complicit
Making it more accessible helps the innocent more than it does the guilty.
Source?
There's literally no way you can back up any of these claims. It's just what you want to be true.
All I want is for you to admit that you think protecting the "privacy" of people's mundane text conversations is worth enabling Terrorism, Child Sexual Abuse, Human Trafficking, Organized Crime, etc etc etc
To be clear, I think people should have a basic expectation of privacy. But at what cost? Like we've established it's impossible to have one without the other.
Ok,.cool? 70% of those don't apply to this conversation at all.
Look, it's clear you're willing to twist yourself into a pretzel and play whataboutism because you refuse to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth. That's fine, I get it.
Nearly every aspect of our society relies on the exploitation and suffering of others.
This is empty virtue signalling and false equivalency. Just say it. You think there's a unknowable volume of real life, actually happening, enablement of the pain, suffering, and death of men, women, and children you're willing to accept so Google or the government or whatever can't read your irrelevant and unimportant conversations
If that's what you have to tell yourself, fine. But at least be intellectually honest here and admit you're simply willing to condone child abuse because you think Google or whatever looking at your texts is more egregious
Did it work? How do you know that? A consumer of your package sends a int when your package expects a string.
What now?
