Police brutality was an issue in US for about 250 years. It’s part of the system, nothing will be done about it.

Other than Garmin GPS I don’t think I own any devices that require an app to function. Just don’t buy this shit.

How do you sing up?

I have an idea! Let’s validate their regime by organizing big football tournament there. That will show them!

Dinosaurs want to break out again but giant asteroid is going to destroy the earth so they team up with humans to stop it. Dinosaurs offer their asteroid know how in exchange for freedom.

IDK, maybe this?

What future job market?

Shut up! If you don’t use Amazon how will the rich people go to space?

Honestly I wasn’t expecting to see a significant increase. It’s a nice surprise. If we get to 6-7% Linux will be much harder to ignore for software and hardware providers. Personally I’m good on software but better wifi drivers would be welcomed.

In my experience rust compiler simply moves the errors to earlier stage of development. With rust I write something and get bunch of errors right in the IDE. I spend some time fixing those and when all the compilation errors are gone in 99% of cases the code works and does what it’s supposed to do.

With other languages I write some code and the compiler/interpreter says it’s all good. I then run it, get bunch of errors and have to do some debugging, move back and forth between the editor and the command line/browser/application and fix all the bugs one by one.

So yeah, rust compiler complains a lot but it’s to make your life easier, not harder. For me working rust way is just much more pleasant. I get immediate visual clues about the errors right in the IDE. When I finally get it right and all the errors dispersal it’s like solving a small puzzle. You know you got it and it feels good. With other languages you think you got it all the time only to find another bug when you run it. Doing it this way is much more frustrating.

Actually, in Java 24 it’s:

void main() { println("Hello World"); }

Posting shit on youtube made you tired? Poor you. Go do so real work instead.

Ketamin kicked in and he thinks people like him again.

He’s toxic now. Giving money to candidates will have the opposite effect.

You don’t ban pipes, because they can be used to make pipe-bombs. You ban making pipe-bombs. Your proposals are so broad they would ban way too many things that are ok.

Ok, I see your point. You think that videos or random kids dancing on TikTok or kids you don’t know doing theater are somehow valuable are should be protected. Personally I don’t know who enjoys those videos and I think banning all of them achieves the desired goal without sacrificing anything of value. I thought that only other kids watch those videos and that everything about it is harmful. It basically trains easy to influence kids to fight for internet points, teaches the the wrong values and promotes bullying. You clearly think that having kids on TikToc have some benefits. We’re not going to agree about this.

As for phones, if we have science proving that they are harmful to kids I don’t see how they are different from cigarettes or alcohol. Then again, we let parents fuck up their kids in many different ways so I guess you’re right here and we should leave it to them. Their are free to take care of their children if they want to and we can’t force everyone to be a good parent anyway.

Football fans would willingly go to a gulag to watch the World Cup. They went to Qatar without any hesitation. 99% of people don’t take politics, human rights or morality into consideration when planning entertainment.

Catching former ICE agents and smashing their heads with baseball bats I suppose. Or carving ‘MAGA’ on their foreheads with knifes.

No, I don’t mean prompting users. Typical ways to increase conversion rate are locking popular features behind the subscription (like you need premium account to comment), making some content available only to premium users or limiting the amount of content you can access as a free user (like only 2h per day). So far I’m still watching videos on youtube without even creating an account and without ads (ad-block).

Is it because it’s not how they make money now?

Sorry but you’re completely missing the point. You can’t compare 5% conversion rate of a subscription-first model and ad-first model. Youtube is optimizing their business around ads, they are definitely not doing everything they can to increase their conversion rate. ChatGPT on the other hand is aiming for as high conversion rate as possible. I don’t know if 5% conversion rate is high or low for ChatGPT but comparing it with YT simply doesn’t make sense.
