That anger and lack of self-control is fine as a vague blogpost maybe, but as an actual developer? Hell no, anyone who thinks this is acceptable has no place in any important field. Anybody who can’t control their emotions and act efficiently when putting criticisms forward is worthless, 30+ year old accomplishments they’ve been coasting on notwithstanding.

“I’d like to be a nice person and curse less and encourage people to grow rather than telling them they are idiots. I’m sorry—I tried, it’s just not in me.”

He self-admittedly doesn’t care about people growing and improving, which is the single most important aspect of being a developer. He’ll probably accomplish more than I ever will, but you know what? I’m still going to pass on better habits to the next generation, because in the long run they will accomplish more because of people actually encouraging that growth. It’s just that selfish, self-serving, admittedly less extreme, Andrew Tate-style toxicity in its earlier form (and being a KotH fan, you’re probably familiar with that episode from the newer season showing how Cotton’s behavior relates to those types, so hopefully you get what I mean).

Fuck that, this is what creates those assholes and makes people unable to work in teams and we should be doing everything we can to push people like this out of the field, because it causes more harm than good. I’d rather have some fresh out of college kid who can actually communicate like a human and work with people while giving/receiving criticism without throwing a tantrum on my team than a Linus.

When Linus is nothing but a grave people piss on I want better people to have taken over, not the same. The entire basis of computer science is building off a previous iteration to make things better, and that should apply to the people too.

Yeah, but a better person could be not-wrong without turning a single sentence criticism into a multi-paragraph rant only serving to stroke their ego. Turns out people can be “garbage” despite being skilled at something.

Cause the “amazon shipping box” part is silly and doesn’t really give any info people don’t already know. The title is funny too since there’s no real point being proven. Growing your own food is cool, just nobody thinks you need a massive garden to do so in the first place.

“I will never look at cardboard boxes the same” now that I know they can be filled with dirt!

amazon potato can’t beat real life potato because box can hold potato too even if not amazon potato

“In my head, yesteryear was a time when the average American had access to and wore mass-produced yet well-made pieces from J. Crew and Lord & Taylor (not Uniqlo and Shein)”

Do people not like Uniqlo??? I’ve gotten a good amount of clothes from there and it has always been good quality for me. Tbh I don’t even know where else to look that isn’t crazy pricy or super cheap quality.

It’s a nice extension of your PC but don’t worry about it if you don’t have money you can absolutely spare. Even then, as others have mentioned, look at used ones because they’re a lot cheaper.

These games have some of the best OSTs of any, easily

Nintendo the only condition I have if when you use this is that the antenna has to be off center like in the image

Spreading the word about it and maybe simplifying the process a little is good, but I don’t think the goal should be to become mainstream. Then you just end up with Reddit again, fediverse or not. Having a small technological literacy test to filter people out and keep communities somewhat small isn’t necessarily bad, it keeps things higher quality and focused by ensuring only people willing to put in at least a tiny bit of effort join. Like how, on Reddit, the “default” subreddits were complete garbage, but the smaller communities people had to put in some effort to find actually tended to have good content.

I got excited after hearing how much people love this one, I usually play every ~5 or so they release and just pick out the best, but sadly the performance was so bad I had to refund it. I have a bit better than the minimum specs on steam (and the minimum specs are a ryzen 5 and gtx 1070, shouldn’t this be the standard target?) and ran everything at low, 1080p, and couldn’t get past 15fps.

There are better looking games from ~5-10 years ago I can run at 1440p or even 4k 60fps on high settings, I wish game studios would stop trying to go for the most intensive possible graphics effects with how diminished the returns are for it.

A standing fuck

heh…guess you don’t have a standing desk like me? guess you don’t have superior posture? i’m basically exercising. i don’t even have to eat healthy or go on walks outside anymore.

(i have a standing desk btw)

If you care about upgradability and replacable parts the Framework is awesome, I love mine so far. But you can get a laptop with better parts for cheaper otherwise, so it’s probably worth just finding something that just has a compatible architecture if that aspect of the Framework isn’t a major thing for you. But also I’m typing this after drinking half a bottle of wine so honestly just ignore this entire comment, I don’t want the pressure of you making a financial decision based on this. Ok bye.

I like them for Pop!_OS but I have that installed on a Framework

I have never thought of a roach as cute before. I still haven’t, but this is the closest I’ve gotten.

Seriously. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea should leave the community, so ultimately this may be a good thing, so long as this community is kept here and passed to other people.

It’s very fun, feels like a return to simple web chatroom type games that I’ve really been longing for. It’s real enjoyable if the idea of casual fishing with some random people seems appealing to you!

“Just by being born here, our son benefits from the love, support and hope of so many people — even though he has achieved absolutely nothing in life yet,” his father said.

Sounds like this kid needs to get his act together. 2 years old and nothing to show for it!
