Thanks for the history, I am not surprised it evolved like that. Reminds me of Agile. It was a great concept that morphed into 'micromanagement with extra steps' in many shops.

This is a common excuse for a lot of box checking nonsense and we both know it.

I use more than one computer, it's more like 8 times a month for me.

Right, but if I take your perfectly reasonable and mature position then I can't prove to the web how edgy and superior I am!

Thanks.

Thanks. A helpful response instead of a smarmy one. Refreshing.

I have stopped using Brave. Fuck those guys.

I just wish Firefox would update less frequently. It's way too often.

"Disagree and commit" = do what I say or quit. Worker exploitation has many douchey buzz phrases.

In a few topics / threads I have noticed more nastiness (some of it thinly veiled as condescension). Even a little bit of it on beehaw. But, it's still not as bad as I remember on reddit. I have blocked some people and communities on lemmy, and that has helped clean up my feed.

Gorgeous photo.

I appreciate them attempting to be scientific in a very messy space. But polling and surveys are notoriously unreliable for quite a few years now. There's many reasons for this, but one is pretty simple: people lie. Everyone is trying to play shitty little manipulation games on each other. It's a post-truth world, unfortunately.

There's a theory that societies experience 40 years of progress followed by 40 years of regression in an endless cycle. I hope the theory is wrong. I can't take decades of these idiots running things.

Few things are as fun as coding on a personal passion project.

Cringe is far too overused IMHO. Especially online.

If something is "lame" it's probably unoriginal, derivative, boring, or annoying.

Is there a date range on the bad ones? I own 3 different 2TB extreme portables (around 4-5 years old) and have had zero issues with them. They are not the model specified tho (i.e, they are not SDSSDE81-2T00).

Yup, illegal does not mean immoral or unethical. It just means some rich or powerful person doesn't like what you're doing. There's a lot of overlap, of course. Many illegal acts are also immoral or unethical. But it's not a 100% overlapping Venn diagram. Also YT is kind of evil, so it's piracy against an evil corporation as much as the content creator. The smarter content creators have sponsors and embedded ads and don't rely on YT for anything.

You keep making this about ego or me trying to "sound smart" and it's utterly exhausting because I'm trying to encourage others, not prop up myself. It's simply not about my ego or self-esteem (no matter how badly you want that straw man to stand up). My entire point is that people should trust their instincts more than they do. And no, I'm not absolving him of any crimes by doing this (that's more straw man).

Since you insist on projection, I'm going to indulge in some here. It sounds like you just want to engage in a virtue competition here, and you're reading a lot of consequences and implications into what I said that, in my view, are simply not there. It's not that I think everything you're saying is wrong. It's not. It's just so twisted out of context and I have to ask myself why. Is Pixel arguing in bad faith in order to do what Pixel is accusing me of? Which is to look smart (or virtuous) on the internet? I don't know, but the optics are pretty bad at this point.

Evidence is better than instinct, no argument there. But you don't always have access to evidence, and ignoring your instincts to jump on a fan bandwagon is ill advised.

This reads like it was AI generated.
