It is true, and I counter that with if you choose to live far away from people then you will be prioritized less. Things get fixed faster when there are more people affected, so when you choose to live miles away from anyone, when your power goes out it’s not a high priority. I argue that that’s their choice, and that it’s deserved when it also costs much more for that one person to have power compared to thousands of people getting power for relatively the same cost in an urban area. Harsh I know, but that’s how the money flows. They can always move to an urban area if they choose that services are more important than living rurally. More or less I agree with you, but I would tell them “you chose that”.

Same! They’re absolutely terrified of my city and to me it’s like, what the place where I walked to get my bagel this morning?

Yes that’s what I don’t like about Stoat. No one is going to create logins for 7 different Stoat servers, they need to have a single place to access, and then join others from that one. Average users don’t want to know about servers or DNS names or anything, they want to click a button and start talking

I was always disappointed that Stoat (terrible rename btw) pushed federation out of their roadmap. If that would have taken a front seat it could have been a real discord clone. Anyone could spin up a server, and it’d be simple enough for users to understand. It honestly could have been the next IRC.

God people in rural communities are so stupid when they vote. I live in a very lopsided state. Just for ease of understanding, about 80% of the state is rural, but also 80% of the people live in the cities. Rural folks often forget just how many more people live in cities.

So they get resentful and say “why are MAH tax dollars going to all them city folks”! I’ve had this talk so many times with them, why should they pay (like pennies or their salary) to my city improvements just because they’re state taxes?

Well, rural guy, because in actuality “us city folk” subsidize all of the rural state. They think they’re paying for our stuff but turns out density is way cheaper and way more economically viable than rural. So we subsidize them all the time. I always remind them who do they think pays for the roads, the infrastructure, their state parks? It’s not them and their low tax income. Their life depends on the city people

And then they vote to hurt us by cutting programs… And forget that we were paying for them to be on those programs.

I hear the first screenshot.

From OPs anger I think we can assume he may live 1000km further north

It means extremes for sure. It’s why the hurr durr it’s cold out people are morons, our climates are changing. Warming causes global changes.

Some areas get drier like California. Some places get colder. Midwest of the US gets more intense and frequent tornadoes and extreme storms. My area is getting more rain.

Take what you already get in terms of extreme weather, dial it up to 11.

I sleep in a big bed with my wife

Whose morality? Who gets to define it?

And neither are supposed to be punishable by death.

Remember, when you buy blurays and DVDs, they stay on your shelf even when corporations decide they want to change things

Don’t. I think it honestly has a place. Now that place is vastly different from what business bros think it is, but it does have a place. I think writing tests is a great reason, and it’s a good double check. Writing documentation is good, and even writing some boilerplate code and models. The kicker is that you need to already be an engineer to use it, and to understand what it’s doing. I would not trust it blindly, and I feel confident enough to catch it.

It’s another tool in our belt, it’s fine to use it that way. Management is insane though if they think you’ll 10x. Maybe 2x.

Yeah was worried I went to my state’s university at first instead of a “good” school. No one in companies care, the only ones who care are those in academia. Now I hire people and you’re exactly right, I look for a degree, I don’t care about from where.

As an engineer who spent most of my life coding fintech services… You do NOT want to meet finra, finsen, or any of those agencies. Best case you are sued for millions. The step after that is immediate arrest.

It’s more that it’s indicative of the engineering culture at Logitech. Business bros cry for more useless features and don’t allow any time for infrastructure or technical debt. An unautomated cert like this (or no teams who monitor it) just screams process failure and lack of business allocation of engineering resources.

Guy whose job depends on slop wants you to stop seeing slop as slop

Thanks for letting us know, in fact it may be worth a today I learned style post because I don’t think people know this

And now you’re just insulting me, so I’m not going to respond further.

Awareness is not doomerism. I’m plenty aware of everything going on. It also doesn’t mean that I’m here saying the world is shit and going to shit and that everyone should feel miserable.
