Because old kindles are about to show up on ebay for like $10-20 - how much do those open alternatives cost? They’ll be useless bricks to a lot of people - some will figure out how to use them in different ways, some will throw them away, and some will try to sell them for dirt cheap.

That solves maybe a single problem associated with AI. Energy and water use is still massive, nobody’s job prospects are improved in any way, the brain drain still happens, and creativity still goes to die in a corner.

Meh, Edge is no worse than Chrome at this point (because it’s chromium now)… Which is still mediocre, but it’s not horrible

Hard to say, but I think so? (USA)

I make a lot more money than they did, but am often very stressed because my job is relatively high-stakes.

I have a happier marriage, which is probably the most important factor, but have found it quite difficult to be a parent. Obviously nobody else feels this way 🤪 but for real, I think parent responsibilities have gotten totally out of hand - I used to roam the streets until dark at 10 years old, but now you get the cops called on you if your 12-year-old walks down the street unaccompanied.

My parents lived through the Vietnam War and Iraq/etc, but the world still feels significantly less stable than even during those times. I worry my children are going to grow up in an openly pedophilic, labor-obsessed dystopia (as if we aren’t already there) - the stress is astounding.

Man, people can’t help but post stuff they like and is popular, not stuff that’s almost never talked about. Anyway…

Man, you really missed an opportunity to suggest something like… Friends or Superman after that

Because they don’t get any money if you’re not forced to scroll past 147 ads while skimming the article for details

The only way to get better is to keep trying 🤷‍♂️ you’ll start slow and hitting wrong notes n, eventually it’ll be slow and right, until eventually it’s almost fast enough.

Also, look for a guitar teacher 🤷‍♂️ lessons are generally not that expensive and just a few can really get you started

I’m pushing 40 now and it’s way too late to start, even as a midlife crisis.

What? “Pushing 40” is very literally PRIME mid-life crisis timing. Go buy a fuckin’ board, just take it easy on your joints.

Nobody making these sorts of arguments is going to go through a list of over a hundred links. What an absolutely ridiculous way to try to convince anyone of anything.

None!

…but that’s because I’m on the shitter and not at my desk.

idk, just don’t live on the one road in New Jersey that this picture was taken on with a fisheye lens to make it look worse?

Good. I’m tired of the armies of 12 year old kids with absolutely no awareness or caution whatsoever on bikes that can easily go 30+mph.

Tim Sweeney vocally supports child porn and deep fake porn? He certainly looks like the type of creeper, so I guess I’m not that surprised.

I wonder how many times he’s been to Trump and Epstein’s Pedophile Island 🤔

Most answers on SO are either from a doc page, are common patterns found in multiple books, or is mostly opinion-based. Most code AIs are significantly better at the first two without even being trained on SO (which I wouldn’t want anyway - SO really does suck nowadays)

I also appreciate the increased security

This hasn’t been true for a long, long time. Mac was only ever more secure than windows because not enough people used them to make them worthwhile attack vectors. Nowadays, iOS sees just as many vulnerabilities as every other popular OS.
