I'm too Linux pilled and thought I was going to read an x11 hate blog. I guess Twitter sucks too, though.

The blame and mistake isn't honestly on git, but the rest of the tooling ecosystem. This wasn't a snap decision and the fact that nobody thought to get ready in the 6 god fucking years that this has been planned is the real problem.

This will be painful, but only because apparently nobody was willing to just start supporting it 5min before the deadline.

There's no reason to use md5 if you don't care about security and only want speed. Non-cryptographic hashes are incredibly fast to calculate and there are far faster hashing algorithms if you want to go that route. Using md5 is a "I don't want to think hard" answer, and if you don't want to think hard, then you might as well be secure in your default answer.

From a completely unscientific but 'experienced' perspective I think the problem is that life just gets in the way as you get older, and you prioritize your own life rather than trying to learn.

Whether neuroplasticity means you can learn things later or not, the opportunity to learn things later just isn't there without effort.

Having a job, kids, a mortgage and no social obligation to learn in a structured and organized way probably impacts you more than anything neurological.

There are plenty of examples to the contrary of this. In particular, I know that factorio has literally never gone on sale on principle, and has only ever gone up in price upon leaving early access. Despite this, it shows up with some regularity in the store.

It's certainly the case that Steam can be a rat race for developers to get attention, but I don't believe your framing is accurate.

Hasn't this been a thing for a long time? Personally I don't eat more than one "proper" meal a day unless I'm being physically active.

I think it's fine. I don't like cooking that much and it's less effort.

That would be true worst case, but you're never running inference 24/7. It's no crazier than gaming in that regard.

Are you really that spite driven against your children?

I don't know that the OP or anyone else necessarily disagrees with you here. It's one of the reasons that I believe we're fucked when the bubble pops. Every other sector is shrinking otherwise, which is only making the mania more extreme.

Trump has fucked the economy, but I don't expect the next administration to be able to pull off a miracle and fix the mess we've created within the next 10 years. Foreign relations and our status as the reserve currency are shot to hell. The US is going to have to answer for our behavior.

This is the central reason I choose not to engage with most posts. It's a toss up whether I'm talking to a rational human being or I happened to walk into the side of the antinatalist hyper accelerationist ML willing to die to defend the most obscure take about consent or something.

I would love a more healthy, less terminally online discourse on Lemmy.

No, It's the children who are wrong!

Don't dead Open inside?

This is incredibly reductive and at best looking at mumble through Rose tinted glasses.

Mumble has had a rocky past as a useful piece of software and it's absolutely not been a discord competitor any more than TeamSpeak is a discord competitor.

Maybe it's changed recently, but mumble has not had the feature set that made discord useful in the first place.

So he didn't literally say it word for word, but the vibes were there.

It has nothing to do with AI, I see it as highlighting the irony in the "pull yourself up by the bootstraps"/grind set mentality. They're stuck in a situation where their options and capabilities are limited, and rather than suggesting something realistic or achievable they're being recommended things that are impossible to do while stranded at sea.

You could possibly make some "let them eat cake" type allegory as well.

Phoronix comment sections never fail to be cesspools

You clearly don't use digital signatures in PDFs

I continue to protest against this claim. Blacklisting the kernel module does not work for a bunch of distributions including Alma, Rocky, RHEL and others because they have this module built into the kernel. There's no module to remove. You must use a syscall blacklist or similar mechanism to disable this.

Since we're talking that era, Sliders was a great show early on and it's a tragedy nobody knows it.

I read the first book or two series in middle school(‽) and it was pretty good, if I recall correctly this had a pretty good sibling relationship, and the only thing stopping me from finishing it was the library didn't have the rest.

Definitely don't just dismiss books for YA though! There's no reason you can't enjoy a good book because of the target audience. I still re-read my favorites all the time, and try out new books.
