Whenever I meet another web dev, they either have a job as a web dev, they’re looking for a job as a web dev, or they’re trying to create a startup. There are no hobbyists.

The funny thing is you’re both right.

I think that funding creators is great if you have the money and the inclination. I just don’t think that it makes you an asshole if you don’t.

There are creators whom I fund because they give me exclusive extra content on their Patreons or sometimes if I just think that their work is important enough and I want to see it continue. If I decide that I need that money for something else, that’s up to me.

Humans are corruptible, no matter who, and even the best of us would be corrupted when it comes to someone they love.

Agreed! That’s why I think it would be better if the workers ran things, instead of a few corrupt CEOs.

I’ve always loved Linux, even when it was kicking my ass. I can’t imagine approaching it with the attitude “Ugh, I have to force myself to use this thing, and I know that it’s going to frustrate me”.

That sort of thing is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because everybody has cognitive biases. Since you expect it to be frustrating, you’re going to remember all the times that it is and forget the times when it isn’t.

Even when the Proletariat does win, they often still install a dictatorship. Because those are the kinds of people who lead revolutions.

I’ve gotten the warning, but I just close the window and watch the video. Is that how it’s supposed to work? Because, if so, it’s only a minor annoyance.

Ever since I switched to Arch, I’ve never had to restart to update. I always restart anyway, because I want the update to apply to my current session, but I don’t have to.

The illustrations in the original book were very…um… politically incorrect.

Do you think that you could’ve gotten those people converted to an Indian diet, and they would’ve remained vegan? Getting people to go vegan in the first place is extremely difficult. Try getting them to go vegan and replace their diet with Indian food.

“Bigotry” is an umbrella term. Racial prejudice is a type of bigotry.

Zuckerberg had the same problem with his metaverse idea.

Although, to be fair, I don’t know if there really is a way to make that idea successful. Like flying cars, 3D interfaces are cool in sci-fi but impractical in real life

I don’t think I have to explain how more people having more available hours to work is a better societal alternative.

It’s only better if a human cashier can do the job better. Otherwise, you’re just making humans do money-work as an excuse to give them more hours.

For example, I could do everything at work on a pad with a pencil instead of using a computer. I would certainly have more hours!

The reason why that sounds insane is because everybody recognizes that using a computer is much faster and more efficient, so you should use that instead.
