Eric Schmidt was amazing as CEO. Then he left and Page took over. He was okay, but nothing great. Then Pichai took over. He is an absolute douchenozzle and is basically there to just make as much money as possible all while trashing everything that made Google great. Google search sucks nowadays, YouTube is overrun with ads, and nothing interesting at all has happened with Android in a long time.

I think it’s incredibly ironic that it’s made in China while being marketed as ethical.

It’s extremely heavy on functional programming terminology and patterns which are notoriously not approachable by normal people.

It’s a different community.

Any senior developer who says that should instantly get a demotion to intern.

It’s an interesting question. I’m not sure what I think.

I would say gambling is more of a child’s game which is made bad for adults by making it about too important because of money. Lots of board games could be considered gambling if they used real money, so I’m not against that.

Definitely against banning end to end encryption.

Kids cigarettes - I had them as a child and thought they were cool, but then I also never took up smoking. I tried it once or twice but that’s it. Never had any desire to actually do it. IMO it probably depends on how you’re raised and your environment. I also watched a bunch of violent movies, but haven’t gotten into a real fight yet and not a violent person.

IMO thinking candy cigarettes cause kids to take up smoking seems similar to thinking GTA causes kids to commit crimes.

What it comes down to for me is that we’re human beings and have brains. If someone is influenced by candy or games to take up smoking, gambling, and crime, then they are dumb as fuck anyway and their parents and teachers have completely failed them. That’s the real problem.

From what I understand, many large tech companies will leave UK if those laws are passed. I highly doubt it will happen, and if it does, I bet it will take about five seconds for the government to realize how vastly they fucked up.

You can log into non-world instances using world credentials?

No since I don’t use Windows.

lemmy.world isn’t run by communists

This is actually unironically a major benefit of Rust - compile time errors are supposed to be for dev mistakes and runtime errors supposed to be for user mistakes. Way easier to debug something at compile time instead of runtime.

Why were you downvoted for saying this? I will never understand people…

Very well said.

Ideas stand for themselves. A lot of times tweets are just run by some intern anyway.

You could suggest they go to Mastodon and reference other companies which do. There are probably easy integrations for them so that they can just automate their tweets to both Mastodon and Twitter at the same time.

I had the same experience with /r/winstupidprizes recently. There was some post were someone just did something dangerous but nothing bad happened at all. Not even a little bit. It was upvoted thousands of times, had a ton of comments, and only a few of them were calling out how it didn’t make any sense why it was getting upvoted at all.

I wonder how many were bots vs stupid people.

It might be interesting to see if we could create “honeypot” posts like this which are super stupid and outside of the point of the community, then just keep track of the accounts which upvoted them.

The dev updated it a couple days ago so you could get Pro / ad-free with a one time payment.
