America voted for cons, crooks and thugs. And is getting conned, crooked and thugged.

Entirely predictable. And well deserved. I say this as someone living and suffering in America.

There is no one else to blame but ourselves. The future is bleak.

We should start recommending UIs as the default way to learn Git. It would solve a third of these problems and another third wouldn't even come up.

If you later decide that the CLI is faster, go ahead. But first, people need to see visually how they can interact with the tree.

I like fork.dev, but most clients are pretty similar at this point.

Happy to see that Nintendo is treating the switch more like how they traditionally handled their mobile platforms instead of their consoles.

Iterating instead of throwing out everything with each new version. There is a part of me that is going to miss the, do weird shit and see what works, Nintendo that brought us some really fun ideas. But a stable Nintendo just being able to continue putting out great games has its advantages.

I am curious about the specs, but honestly don't care much. The only real issue the Switch had was being able to keep up with some of the games put on it with FPS but it still had beautiful games (like Tears of the Kingdom). So as long as it is actually a decent spec bump I am happy and have zero care to compare it to the other consoles (but I am sure people are going too and scream that it is "underpowered").

The biggest thing I am curious about, will it be OLED since that will be disappointing to go back to non OLED from the OLED Switch. And Price.

Micropayments for page views. Just let me pay you what the ad guys are paying you and I'll do it.

People are choosing the cheapest option because they don’t have any money. It’s not that complicated.

Airline loyalty programs should be illegal in view of environmental concerns.

So is art itself. AI art is the ultimate fuck you to the IP/Copyright crowd, and the fact that the supposedly left wing artists are turning into Luddite copyright trolls at the moment that their field becomes opened to the masses tells me that most folks who purport to hold left wing sympathies actually don’t. I always knew that the performative leftism thing was bullshit. RMS, Aaron Swartz, huggingface and mistral are far more liberatory than 50 years of Marxist artists wasting our time with empty claims of liberation

Never ever claim to support the poor if you get butthurt at the idea that poor people can now access tools to create beautiful art. And if your first thought is to take shots at me for claiming that “Ai art can be beautiful”, you’re part of the problem!!!

100% this. For a C++ or Rust programmer this reads so weird.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on JS here, and I have lots of beef with C++, but I fully agree with your take that TS barely scratches the surface of the statically typed world.

I'm spoiled by the "search the menu" thing in vscode, intellij and devtools. I wanted that in Photopea today because I couldn't find the darn paint bucket tool. If everything had built in AI (which seems to be happening whether it's good or bad) I could probably just say or type "paint bucket" which I guess is only marginally better than a fuzzy search.. but the iterative process of AIs where you can kind of lazily ask it for things and then correct it when it's wrong sure is nice.
