We need to democratize the internet again, every generation there’s a ma bell pretending they own the internet. Current Gen is Google, AWS, Azure and the like, with ISPs just making sure they get their cut.

I don’t have an issue with these services existing, but in such a way that everything depends on a couple companies? Dangerous for everyone.

As a Linux enjoyer, I agree with you but try not to sound so negative, it’s off putting to normal folks.

Finally, some good TV :)

I probably have some bad karma :(

Yikes, I didn’t know I was being hostile, sorry I hurt your feelings.

How does that help me though?

I don’t have an opinion on the man personally, but I won’t buy a Samsung TV as they are ad riddled, terrible to use and are pretty fragile.

Not that you aren’t entitled to your opinion, but software running on a Tesla is, in many ways just as mallaible as code on a vacuum robot.

There are several challenges, but basically the protections stopping people from reading and writing firmware would need to be defeated.

I think there have been some software jailbreaks on earlier models already that have been patched, but software is complicated, it’s hard be bug free.

Lol why do they have to do things in the most cartoonishly evil way?

To be a pedantic dick, those aren’t really programming languages. Their purpose isn’t for writing at that level.

It’s bullshit all the way down.

Lol uh I mean I don’t think the author* is giving the generally normal people just working their job enough credit. In my anecdotal experience, the growth mindset stuff is just an excuse to say certain things at meetings, or make certain decisions, nobody is extremely bought in or anything.

In fact, I knew some folks that left Microsoft because of the growth mindset changes for more “old school” places like Boeing.

Generally speaking I think all these companies have some kind of cultish exterior, I can say this about Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook for sure. If you’re ever let inside the walls though, it’s mostly regular people trying to live their lives.

I’m gonna assume you don’t know any better. Not saying there aren’t bad or stupid middle managers, but usually the middle manager is the person who got shoved into a “management” position they probably didn’t want, and all they really get to do is take all the heat when decisions they didn’t make blow up in their face. It also usually comes with false promises of raises but upper management never really intends on giving it.

It’s like, top level squeezing the bottom out 101.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Python, like most languages, can be as complex as you make it.

Oh shit, what would I do without… Scout Analysis?

Brother, life is too short not to leave when you want.

Androids best advantage used to be full control of the device… Those were the days. Then it started with saying they know better than you, then locking you out. Now I’m waiting on a new, better solution.

Honestly it’s not like native Linux is too far fetched, but there would have to be a big open source common ground device collaboration.

I will say that the Google Auth prompt in particular is just this huge nuisance and a horrible experience. People should feel stupid for including it in their web experience.

How else can we make money off of other people’s work?

This is just like that China social credit system
