I don’t think the point is that you can sue them if it only lasts 13 billion years, but the under current conditions it’s projected lifetime is 14 billion years. Which is a very big number, meaning it’s pretty much guaranteed it won’t break in 100, 1000 or 10000 years.

Same for batteries.

Any volunteers for testing the claim?

I mean, if a single distro is what we’re after, isn’t there already ChromeOS?

No, we hate people who want to execute others. We hate people who think that authoritarianism is in any way connected to anything resembling communism.

We hate people who worship mass murderers. So no, socialism sounds nice, what the wannabe communists on tankie instances are doing on the other hand sounds just idiotic.

What’s the framework situation? I was planning on buying one next year.

What would you expect out of Russia?

Well, I use Obtainium to install all my FOSS apps directly from the repository.

I also built a game for kids (available publicly) and then made a plugin just for my kid which includes some licensed characters, for obvious reasons I can’t put that onto the Play Store, so apk installation it is.

SailfishOS os daily drivable IMO.

Take a look at SailfishOS, it’s good.

We call it statistics around these parts. But yeah, it’s guesswork.

Yeah, their work-the-workers-literally-to-death culture is top notch.

Yeah, that’s true, everyone thinks they want a senior where usually someone who’s not a straight up junior is more than enough. And a fast learning and motivated junior is the best you can get, IMO, though those are pretty rare as well.

I have the opposite experience, when I was doing interviews I just skipped the very obviously underskilled people (which, IIRC were in the single digits) and interviewed pretty much everyone.

For context, I’m the main architect and dev of the company I was hiring for. Most of the candidates were horrible.

The main factor, IMO, is that everyone wants good engineers but good engineers don’t change jobs that often.

Meaning most of the candidates you interview will suck in one way or another.

And everyone calls themselves “senior” nowadays.

That’s probably your social bubble. My company is currently deepthroating everything that has AI in its name. I jokingly mentioned they should rename the company to Jira&AI, the joke was not well received.

Anyway, most people I know (including me) are somewhere in the middle - not quite fans in the traditional sense, but definitely not disliking AI.

They still don’t. The analysts do and the programmers then implement it based on specifications.

Did you live under the impression that all the smart missiles, smart guns, smart everything didn’t already require programmers?

Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.

And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).

Don’t watch those, though the few I’ve watched didn’t really have that. But it wouldn’t surprise me.

But I think with kid shows it’s much more dangerous, they soak up the patterns and internalise them.
