Nah, I got a gig that lets me work how I want within reason. I’m just sympathetically neurotic.

Here’s another John Williams fact: his son Joseph Williams is the lead singer from the band Toto.

Side fact, he was not the lead singer for “Africa” in 1982, so it almost doesn’t matter!

I think that depends a lot on what you’re expected to do. I’d write an email like this if I were expected to be an effective developer on a Windows system. I use Linux because I use vim, not the other way around. I can’t WSL for linux to use tmux or something and be nailed to one laptop screen, it just isn’t worth it. Besides the whacky clipboard problems, it’s just not sustainable to be permanently containerized in your host system IMO.

Now if you are using an "I"DE like vscode or something it’s maybe not so bad because it at least plays on windows. Gvim is trash, and the whole reason to really lean in to vim/nvim is to sew your development environment right to any other program you need.

IDK, there’s a dollar value beyond which I would not care, but it’s a gross amount.

Chess.com. Its totally worth it for the game review which is the part of it I’d consider a “service”, but there’s other good stuff in there if you like to play.

I heard the nav is shit though for the self driving. Basically always just takes you home.

Holy shit let’s get someone to make them! We will be rich!

Nope

I mean sure there’s all of that… But consider this:

1. A horse doesn’t play music, or pick up where I left reading on my audiobook.

2. They don’t have mirrors or a seatbelt, so how safe can a horse REALLY be? 🤔

I’ve got 2 of them and we will just drive them until they die. It’s the only option.

Lots of complexity in a hybrid, and gas does eventually go bad if you don’t use it. Though when I used to have a motorcycle it always ran after the winter in the garage so idk how long that actually takes to happen…

I drive a 2018 tesla model 3. I wish I did not drive a tesla… Some other EV that can use the supercharger network would be good.

Your last paragraph nails it. I’m not trying to get the whole world to switch, but I’d be happy to get the like minded peopleout who haven’t switched.

When it stops being a tool that works for me and starts working for corpos, well, then I will be in the minority again.

This topic used to come up all the time on Reddit subs, but this is the first time I can remember seeing it on Lemmy.

Alcohol not until I was 20. Weed not until like 25 I think. You’re probably about around the average age to try for US kids and a little late for euro kids it seems like.

Whoa! Black Betty.

There’s a little space between being pro-AI and refraining from shoe-horning really clever burn words like “slop”, “clown”, and “dumb” into the names of things. It shows the same mastery of derision and humor as playground fart jokes. Chuds trot those out, and it’s a huge eyeroll; we can do better.

I’m going to also add here, as a separate comment, that I am omni leaning toward carnist, but I’ve got quite a lot of respect for @TheTechnician27@lemmy.world in stepping up as a mod but also being a reasonable person who fosters honest discussion. Not my first +1, but I’m always happy to give it!

I also find “carnist” to be sort of a try-hard word in regular use, but the other part that SHOULD be said is that choosing to use it is useful for perspective switching. Typically being vegan or vegetarian is a minority position so the language in general basically normalizes omni eating habits. “Carnist” as a turn of phrase makes it possible to shift “normal” to more closely match veganism.

Edit: You basically said this deeper in the thread, oops. Still I’ll leave it because maybe more people will see it.

Gotta always be prepared for the Roko’s basilisk eventuality.

Controversial maybe, but I think you missed “slop” in regular conversation, specifically hybrid words (see microslop). It’s one thing to write about it in an AI thread, but douchey to me if you bend a conversation to it then say it out loud.

Hey bozo, it’s spelled “counterargument” you absolute fleshbag! 🥏
