Ok, lemmy crybabies. Me and my millennial friends all graduated from a university in Europe. None of us were born rich, but we’re all well-off now. By now everyone lives in different country, works in a different field, but literally everyone can afford a mortgage, a car, a ski trip, and maybe for their partner not to work for a few years if kids would be born.

Yet, imagine that, nobody really planned for their career to be lucrative. People just did what they thought was interesting and did it well. Only one dude was after money. He went into banking and now probably makes close to a mil annually.

I reiterate. All that was necessary for a financial success was to find an interesting job and do it with passion. To me this sounds like a communist dream.

And yet lemmy keeps telling me every day that it could only be possible if all of us were born rich, or sucked to corpos or whatever. You’re just a bunch of sore losers, lemmy.

Enjoy your holidays and think about your life choices.

I haven’t seen that birth certificate yet, have you?

Better Trump than the illegal immigrant Kamala. So my vote goes to him.

Is it you, lemmy, brigading that GitHub gist? @ZendeskTeam is being is already dead, but don’t worry, you can still come and give them another kick.

username checks out

I hate that this is even a feature in the web standard. A result of some massive corporate corruption for sure.

You draw new borders and stop shooting, that’s a start. You then keep the agreement by having enough military for a new invasion to be undesirable. Simple game theory. Trust and promises only work for societies that mutually respect each other.

You can theoretically learn it is not the point. Your point was “I can learn how to code up a website in a week, and my degree wastes 4 years”. No, it doesn’t.

Trust me, if you wanna learn German by being airdropped into the country with a dictionary, you’ll have a very very bad time compared to what Goethe Institute teaches.

Because in order to properly speak the language you need to know the grammar. And you will almost certainly not ever grasp it properly on your own without guidance by an experienced educator. Germany is full of those people who after decades of living there keep making awful grammatical mistakes. While people who went to Goethe Institute usually don’t.

Same for people who learn JavaScript from a tutorial and suddenly they’re a web dev, but understand nothing about algorithms complexity and so the whole fuckin internet is so slow it hurts.

Precisely because of that attitude of yours.

It takes a day to learn how to train an AI model in python. It takes a PhD to understand what you’re doing.

Coincidentally, i constantly get documents randomly default to the US letter, which I don’t even know what it means. I only ever seen A4 in my life. Annoying as hell.

Have you considered that you’re a victim of a default country syndrome?

On linux: I take a printer, plug it in, it gets autodiscovered and prints. On windows: I spend forever doing random shenanigans to get it working.

Same goes for hardware upgrades, bluetooth headphones, etc etc.

I dunno what you’re doing wrong. Maybe the distro? Any flavor of Ubuntu should work with most supported peripherals at zero effort. If it doesn’t, it means the device manufacturer never bothered with a driver for linux and you’re completely out of luck.

Please, teach me in a week how to write my own compiler and under what conditions re-compilation converges.

Sorry, I don’t know what’s a for loop or what’s a set, I only know how to do 2+2 in excel.

Go.

Your immutable distro will not be tailored to your hardware by a team of qualified and paid engineers. I’m not entirely sure why the heck do you think immutability is the differentiating factor here.

Or have just enough hotels for how many tourists they want. Who cares if 3 billion people could and would visit Barcelona tomorrow. Nobody is obligated to build enough hotels for them.

Barcelona has 12 tourists per capita per year. They could easily do with a half of that.

yep, a tiny boot error and suddenly you need to punch commands into initramfs. good luck with that headlessly.

asshole design

You have correctly identified that it’s not a lack of technological advancement that is holding our society back.

Now go solve social sciences, economics, psychology, and neuroscience. Come back and we’ll talk about how to design a world where nobody happens to install a motion sensor with a wrong range.

Last time I installed slack through flatpack I couldn’t send any files. Not through drag-and-drop, neither through the filepicker. The latter was just empty.

Downloading files from slack also had awfully weird side-effects.

Slack doesn’t have an apt repo, so I download debs and updat manually. Maybe once half-a-year.

If that’s the experience I’d get on my signal through flatpack, I’d also rather be downloading manually. And I’d even compile from source rather than deal with that flatpack stuff.
