    That is not even true. Most JS apps are smaller than photos on the page. High resolution media is the main culprit of web page sizes. Anyway, what's 20mb for 2gb ram pc? Nothing. T…

    > They are slow because Windows got heavier while the hardware stayed the same. That is not true. They are slow, because ALL software got better and more advanced and that is not o…

    It seems you could use a human instead then? If you have so many apps, you could hire a junior to help you. There is additional satisfaction of bringing new person to the IT too.

    What I mean is a script that can look through the logs. They are known and deterministic (if you properly handle errors) and you can analyze them statistically. If you don't know w…

    > What are people doing to burn through $3k in tokens? The short answer is: they are doing slop. Most of the coding can be done quickly with a keyboard, intelisense and maybe some …

    Most of it doesn't require AI. You could generate automation scripts that do that, except of customer support. People became dependent on AI in places where it never was required a…

    The main difference is that on Linux you can do it on gui. It's much easier to explain and convice the user to click "allow executing file as program" checkbox than a xatttr obscur…

    The only small thing you forgot to mention - it requires use of AI. Open Ai to be specific. I've got baited.

    That's the most delusional thing I've read all month. Sometimes you must deal with problematic people. Ever heard of Daryl Davis? Be like him 1% and world will be a better place. D…

    Do you research everybody you engage with? Are you a fed? He went there to refute some claims about himself, like a man, instead of crying behind organization brand on social media…

    He didn't say anything about Gos devs in there, yet they say he did. It's just not true. Do you have a Facebook account? Facebook is full of scams, are you also a scammer? Probably…

    Rossman only ever commented on kiwi farms on a thread about himself. You are lying again, confirming the words of the parent comment. And deserved criticism is not harassment.

    Looks it's time to move on. New platform and tools will emerge, I'm sure of it. The only way we can fight corpos is not giving them money and not talking about them.

    It's redundant in single thread environment. Everyone moved to mobile while pages are getting slower and slower, using more and more memory. This is not the way. Immutability has i…

    Why not use a phone that allows you to use the full version ublock? Ios is everything that is wrong with software today in one package.

    Don't enable smart TV mode. Dumb TV mode is still android, so you can install apps, but there are no ads.
