...that is all.

Yeah, I've become the old greybeard I used to make fun of. The Tech version of a hero living long enough to become the villain.

Now, get off my lawn! ;-)

Correction, no, you're right, I did assert some problems are imaginary. Only the truly mentally ill could look down, see a penis or a vagina and wonder "what the fuck am i?"

Yeah, THAT'S an imaginary problem of the dumbest order.

Nobody cared about the commentary on his feelings about Apple...

So you don't really have any refutation other than "I'm sad".

I didn't say people whine about imaginary problems. Their problems are absolutely real.
YOU'RE the one endorsing catastrophism. The problems they're facing - we don't have enough money, we work too hard, etc, etc - are NOT unusual, are NOT new, & never before (afaik) in human history caused this sort of a wave of infantilism "well fine then I guess I just can't have kids! mwhaa!"

It's taken a lot, but the leftists have managed to convince an entire generation that they're exceptionally incapable and unable to save themselves, just so you can offer Caesarism and the Great Nanny State to take care of them. Brilliant, I have to say. Fucking sadistic, but hey, it wins you power so I guess you win?

Pretty sure whatever he died from came from bats. Or hamsters.

There's no reason to leap to the conclusion that whatever killed him was because he was actually working directly on it. That would be irresponsible.

LOL yeah botched execution. "First all female execution team at request of Pike"

"We at Siemens have seen how successful SCO was, and think we can be just as successful!"

The only chance any small team is going to have of making an alternative web browser is to leverage LLMs.

Not saying these guys will succeed, but if not, LLM use is not the reason why.

Republicans cannot be elected here. Just won't happen any time soon.

So Republicans join the Democrats. Local media calls these people "moderates" - no, it doesn't make much sense, just the accepted code word. Most of the current batch are funded by more or less reactionary tech billionaires. (The older set are less, the newer ones more.)

So yeah. You have to read past the label. Democrats here are such a big tent that we let Republicans run things a lot of the time if they wear a fake mustache and mumble something vaguely progressive-sounding now and then. But they do whatever's good for AirBNB and Salesforce when they're not servicing commercial real estate.

Like I said, you're dogmatically dedicated (read: closed minded about the matter) so IDGAF what you think. That's why your reply doesn't even faintly engage with the point. Come up with a clever bon mot for your congregation and you win, right?

The objective, irrefutable truth is that
- by any measure at all, humans have had it worse, often VASTLY worse
- nevertheless, they didn't all just hold hands, wave their Gays for Palestine flags, argue about woman-penises, and decide weepily "this life is just too hard, I'm not going to bring a child into the world"

I don't think people looking for entertainment are going to pay to watch a propaganda hit piece.

The SF Democratic machine is all in on Flock. That might have something to do with the Flock being in the SF Democratic Party.

Mar raised another concern: Two of the committee's current members -- Lily Ho and Trevor Chandler -- work for Flock. Last month, the San Francisco Standard reported that a prior version of Mar's resolution was removed from the party's agenda by a subcommittee chaired by Ho. Neither Ho nor Chandler offered to abstain from voting on Wednesday. The committee does not have rules related to conflicts of interest for issues like this one, Tung told Mar. They then proceeded to count both Ho and Chandler's votes.

Modern JavaScript and CSS are insanely complex ... and are not just for silly decoration, but for needed functionality and things like WCAG compliance.You sure have your work cut out for you.

I very much want real alternatives though, and I do genuinely wish you success!
