To be fair, the use of absolutes like "never" is a red flag. If the statement were "code is often not the hardest part", that's certainly plausible and debatable depending on conte…

IMO it's the end of the end of a free Internet. Toxic social media traffic, spam bots, hackers, and AI have taken over the majority of internet traffic a long time ago, thus the be…

I can appreciate how "building social is hard" in 2026, but is trying to be social on the internet still a worthy goal? The world has such problems with isolation and distrust that…

Microsoft trying to run a Ruby on Rails + SSH + Git system.

WTF is that URL? I'm NOT clicking on that. LOL

Agreed. Mozilla has problems, but bleeding funds from Google to fund their competition has a satisfaction factor. I'd rather sign a petition to keep the Google daddy fund going unt…

Imagine having someone, anyone, that you felt comfortable sharing your feelings with. Amazing. I've known my best friend for 50 years now, literally since kindergarten. One person.…

Yikes. The hottest of takes there. Wow. I know he's super-rich now and I'm not, so whatever.

Whatever this means, I hope it means less censorship. That's all my feeble brain can focus on here: free speech good, censorship bad. :)

With the massive tide of browsers converting to Chromium under the hood, I wonder how long Apple can hold out. Fingers crossed they keep allocating budget for it.

Not to disagree with you specifically, but this seems a good context to make this point: Maybe I missed the memo that we stopped hating monopolies? Every browser worth considering,…

Or start limiting Internet usage.

Firefox is usually great for me, but with Chromium-based browsers having such a massive market share monopoly I do occasionally find a website that doesn't work properly on Firefox…

That town needs a new Chief and a new Mayor.

"What to do instead of Mocking" should be more like "Enhance your use of Mocks with better unit tests and integration tests". The listed complaints sound more like problems with sl…

And they're shocked that people want to run ad blockers? LOL

The `security` tool is handy too. I like the ability to store passwords in the `login` Keychain and automate using them in the terminal using `security find-generic-password`. secu…

LOL I'm sooooo surprised. /s

Wow.

The government refuses to hear arguments against government surveillance of its subjects. Shocking. Next we'll be surprised that Congress won't vote for term limits.

This. I was so confused, like "Korea is not a place; South Korea and North Korea are both places, and are vastly different, so what are you on about?" level of overthinking.
