Here’s how the articles have progressed over the decades.

• Kids don’t comprehend the consequences of poor education. Formulating ways to help children understand the need to have a good education. (This is the, “Teacher this stupid. I’m never going to use this in real life anyways.”). Babies and adolescents and teens and their screen time. Bad attention span because of so maybe

Youtube and Facebook happen. Then Instagram.

• Kids want to become stars. They increasingly want to become youtubers, actors, dancers, musicians, influencers, models, fashion designers, personal shoppers, marry into wealth, be the idea person of a startup that will make them billionaires. Day trader. Sports gambler. Onlyfans. Twitch streamer. Etc. Anything that doesn’t require a lot of math, reading, legal rules to know. Making your hobbies your job. Your childhood embarrassments will follow you your whole life.

In the meantime smartphones

• Kids won’t put down their phones in class. No attention span. They don’t go outside and socialize. They use online speak in formal writing and speech. Extremist views. Too dependent on autocorrect, speech to text, and text to speech are decimating their ability to read and write. Constant social media. Facebook and Youtube and then Twitter and Instagram and constantly trying to keep up with trends and fashion and skin care. Body dismorphia. Depression. Cyber bullying

Then AI

• Now AI’s can write whole papers and parse images and write ELI5 summaries paragraph by paragraph so kids don’t have to interpret or learn new words. AI as therapist. AI as friend. AI as trusted advisor. AI does math well now. Take a photo of a math problem and it can figure it out. Instead of texting/email/reading like before, speech to text and text to speech but way better than before. Kids use AI to write romance letters and break up letters but forget to replace sections where it wants you to replace with appropriates names and locations but kids don’t read so sometimes they make it to the target receiver and hilarity ensues.

Turns out childhood embarrassments are so publicized and monetizable for being an influencer that people seem shameless now which is a separate issue. Deepfake porn like porn before it is an issue and progressively not one over time as it becomes more and more common and people desensitized

And that it is now AI doesn’t make it as the full replacement of all previous problems. It’s compounded on the previous challenges that have yet to be solved.

Didn’t they jack up Fortnite prices for whatever sort of DLC they do. All I remember news about their “metaverse” creators being enabled to sell for in game stuff and it being as predatory or worse than roblox

Most people are single issue voters and demographics don’t change that. Race/sexuality/gender does not imply some deep overarching ideological alignment to the degree that people treat those as. It’s just some single issues and/or social group tribalism and then outside of that, they’re often all about themselves and everyone else is lazy/entitled/whatever. Spend enough years regularly doing political/community/social outreach/work, town halls, etc. Things that put you regularly in contact with people in need or saying they have unmet needs and listening to them. Also spend enough time in art communities. Surface level people may sound like they’re really about some humanistic standard. Doesn’t take long until you unravel to find someone that’s just really about getting there’s

Watch out of people that make aesthetics, popularity, a major part of the their personality and how they judge people. Social justice as top care on their socials and verbally, but racist as hell in practice with how they date and treat people and talk behind their social group members backs. Social justice peacocking but in practice finds poor people uncultured and disgusting before ever talking to them. If they dress the part, they’re an artist. If they’re an artist that wears worn down clothing, they’re uncultured and likely problematic.

Away from that, I don’t know anyone that brags about buying a knife set that’s a fundamentally good cook. Someone getting started trying to get good may get one but they usually want to get rid of it not long after trying to fundamentally do well in a kitchen. Social status home cooks may know a small set of recipes but just change the size of their pots and pans and they fall apart. They can’t scale with portions and don’t know ingredients independent of a complete dish. Knife blocks, people regularly just drop a knife in the slot and dull their knives. Knife blocks also have so many redundant knives where they’re like 1cm different in size. Same with pan/pot sets. Also non stick stuff. Have like one for fish and eggs and a silicon spatula to flip. It’ll last a super long time. A non stick pot to boil noodles in, fresh noodles are in and out. Dried noodles don’t even take that long. If you’re cooking some chunky noodles and you can’t manage stirring it occasionally for 10 minutes, come on. Other stuff, learn temp control and your ingredients. Stop burning stuff. It’s practice. And when you mess up, learn to clean your encrusted pans. You’ll get there

Gardening. Develop and maintain your soil. Your aesthetics won’t make up for poorly maintained soil. And if you’re starting with rocky dead clay, no till gardening doesn’t apply to you yet. You can till at least once here to quickly deal with compaction and introduce life to your soil. If it’s your first year, be patient and don’t be shaming people. At least make it a few years instead of being a first year asshole and then quitting because gardening takes a lot of maintenance. A lot of repetitive busy work

Decor, if you newly own the place, consider how old the pipes, insulation, electrical is. You may want to handle that before piling in new furniture, decorations, painting walls. Also what happened to the whole environmentalism stuff. In my experience people that place a major emphasis on decorations to express their individuality and/or aesthetics are often vocal environmentalist but mostly fail because of their need to show off.

Aesthetics hide a lot of mediocrity. Don’t be fooled by aesthetics

It’s interesting to follow. Like a dozen solid engines of differing sizes for different needs. Decades of work to get here. Tens of billions of R&D done to get here today

Well put in the money out of the bloating profits and make more to meet demand. If not, there’s no dilemma. Go buy what you need to operate where it’s available

I used to be obsessed with lastfm before all the streaming services. Had my hundreds of gigabytes of music downloaded mostly found through last.fm similar music/artist links and everything I played on needed to be from a player with scrobble support

I post from a vpn all the time. Sometimes it’ll complain and not let me because of VPN and then I just switch node and it lets me. It’s not even country based. Like I can be on a node in Mexico, get blocked, switch to another one in Mexico and be good

Retro handhelds should be perfectly good to use without Google play protect and Google play services. Retro handhelds play emulators. Should be good with something like Graphene and ideally go to regular Linux instead. Maybe with KDE Plasma Bigscreen

I do not use it as my default text editor but I use it practically every working day. Plenty of times it’s the only thing I have available to me. Pretty often vi is all I have to work with

It is impressive how I almost always hear about Claude stuff for paid programming services and never copilot. Normal search engine replacement stuff, I’ll hear almost exclusively about people using ChatGPT and Gemini. Then people self hosting, I’ll hear all the free stuff like Deepseek, Kimi, Qwen, …

People just talk trash about copilot. I swear even Proton Lumo gets less heat and when people want upgrades, they’re all urging Proton to add the latest Deepseek, Qwen, Kimi, etc models to their algorithm. Microsoft has got to have one of the most hostile to themselves customer base to be rivaled only by companies like Oracle

I and I imagine barely anyone ever heard of Codeberg until the past year like me when I made an account and the website was loading at a snails pace. Github, Gitlab, and Bitbucket are way more established.

Every employer I’ve worked for either uses Github, Gitlab, or Bitbucket in that order of commonality. Then any that self hosts uses Gitlab either free or Ultimate. I imagine anyone writing pipelines would like to stick with what they’re comfortable with. I imagine migrating gitlab ci to foregejo actions can be annoying especially on huge projects unless you’re already using something like Tekton to build out your own CI pipelines. How I see my project managers use Gitlab Ultimate features to link together issues, milestones, commits, merge requests, branches, epics, create filters for the issues boards, etc - I’m impressed.

A lot of co-mingling between different groups within the organization to create some levels of siloed operations. There’s stuff like sharing user databases between Gitlab and other products that aren’t gitlab. API stuff where you make a gitlab account and it propogates to other services and that even includes stuff like group management in gitlab and other services non-gitlab. A bunch of stuff that I barely have to work to achieve like getting sonarqube or other services to easily integrate into Gitlab pipelines and create conditional actions in them and the merge requests comments to notify developers of findings. I have no doubt used very little that’s out there that offers easy integration into Gitlab and Github workflows.

Our pipeline inserts milestone links into our changelogs. We use the Gitlab project wikis and release pages. We use the gitlab package and container registries. Self hosting runners is super easy. There are a lot of 3rd party services that host github and gitlab runners that are really click and they’re ready to go. I don’t have enough experience with Codeberg yet but Gitlabs CI file text editor and the browser embedded VS Code I find very useful.

On Gitlab, these are very useful. I’d want something similar on codeberg rather than dealing with all that myself along with other key/token management

https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/variables/predefined_variables/

For the most part, I would expect people to go where they’re most familiar and at work they’ll be most familiar with Github and Gitlab and if you want your code to be seen, you’ll go where the bulk of developers are

I test out Gamehub and GameNative on the regular and it’s OK right now. Like it’s way worse than Proton on Linux in 2018 but I like to think if it was Valve doing the integration, it’d be 2018 Proton great. Also Android Linux peculiarities rather than regular GNU/Linux/other Linux. This would probably so much better already if we had normal linux phones rather than Android linux. I’m expecting the Steam Frame to show us amazing stuff. And someday buying some used X Elite laptop to test will show off way better compatibility than an Android phone even if the Android phone has a better GPU/CPU by that point

it has some recent commits on github. I think it can regain momentum. nothing compared to zed. This Zed fork may be suitable but I think it’d be better if community members went and gave lapce another go rather than continuing to base on and effectively be contributing to zed

I think first would be wait to see how well it can be decoded/transcoded on CPUs for peoples current equipment. Won’t be able to have as many concurrent streams as codecs with hardware support. AV2 hardware is probably years away. I’m certain AV2 hardware will succeed unlike VVC which had a blip of support with Intel then abandoned the next generation of Intel chips. I’ll switch to AV2 once it has similar adoption to like AV1 today so like 8 years from now I guess. I’m guessing similar amount of time for hardware support to be as ubiquitous. Not sure if it should be quicker with how dead in the water VVC has been for 6 years or slower because people upgrade hardware less frequently now and honestly h.264 is still good enough and AV1 is really good enough so any rush to AV2 will mostly be hyperscalers trying to cut down on bandwidth and storage costs

McDonalds sucks. back on reddit I do enjoy the fastfood reddit for the nostalgia but that subreddit reminds me how many people only eat what they’re comfortable with or are too scared to even try cooking for what seems like performance anxiety. Also the regular posting of someone buying fast food through doordash and getting trashed for doing so. Both marked up doordash price compared to the store or the restaurant app and the fees from doordash. A lot of people use doordash to order fast food. I’ve caught my friends doing that rather than using the stores dedicated app with better deals. Even for pickup. It’s insanely lazy and short sighted. At least download their app rather than using doordash

I’ll try it. I still want to make a move off of vs code/codium. I keep zed and lapce installed to keep an eye on but at work everyone uses vs code and its familiar to everyone. I don’t know why more people don’t give lapce a try or more attention. Zed seemed like it would be corporatized in some way since the beginning. I can see why editors like Kate aren’t super adopted with the lack of plugins like vs code but it seemed like Lapce has a pathway to be as extensible

I did not make an argument for why you would not make the purchase. I’m making the argument that it won’t be scarce later in the year because gamepads for PC don’t sell in the volumes like consoles. They’re not used at volume as consoles. People will buy it. People that already have gamepads are less likely to buy it, but they may still buy it. I am addressing the OP who is asking opinions on likelihood of the controller being scarce later in the year

I didn’t say it would be a rare thing. The question is whether someone believes the steam controller will be hard to get later in the year as stated in the OPs post. I do not believe it will be hard to get

what percentage of the 10 million people do you expect to buy a steam controller and how much would that compare to playstation, nintendo and xbox owners? That’s 10 million steam gamers that already have gamepads to play on steam and the other 85% playing with I’m assuming mouse and keyboard. PS5 has sold ~100 million where each package in a gamepad plus all the additional that you see in stores and have been purchased. Do you believe this steam controller will be hard to find and why? It seems to me that the manufacturing of gamepads is not a struggle considering how many are available and that the steam controller has a release date already rather than the machine or frame

This is extremely interesting to see. I’ll eventually download it and see what people make
