Anybody who disrupts capitalism should be punished. We've done it before and we gotta do it again.
The whole point of capitalism is self determination. Not to dominate the world, we're not anarchists. But these criminals are pulling massive amounts of money out of the economy and that's not acceptable.
Most Linux package managers sync the list of all packages they can download. I wonder if some sort of system like that can be used to federate web searching.
there is a small subset of outwardly powerful humans who deeply suck
Yeah the deep shadowy cabal of suited white men pulling strings. I've heard of that and I disagree with it. I don't think it exists. Maybe there are some big people who basically own their industry, but I refuse to accept that they exist outside of the media and insurance sphere. Media has no power unless government reinforces it, and we regulate the shit out of insurance companies. Now that's not to say that we don't regulate insurance enough, there's plenty more control we the people can and need to take. Maybe there's one or two other industries that are owned by a powerful person. But I refuse to believe that my government that I pay tax to, vote on, and listen to is too weak to snuff out a company that grows to the size of a government. FAANG is 10% as powerful as the US Federal government and I refuse to accept that it's more.
We've seen our government repeatedly stomp out monopolies in the US and outside of it. There are plenty more to stomp out, but just because it hasn't been done yet doesn't discount the strength of us Americans projected by our government. We can change, and its hard.
I have ideas of things to do, but since I am starting from 0
Perfect! You've taken the hardest step. I can give you advice from here.
Computers only really do 3 types of work, there can be more but most can be summarized like this:
Displaying things on screen: this only ever happens on the end user's device. React and React native are the best options for that.
Copying data from one spot to the next: simple operations to get data from one location, reencode it and send it somewhere else, wether to the end user's device or another database its all the same work. Typescript is best suited for that.
Hard work: processing large blobs of data like reencoding pictures and videos, consuming megabytes of data at a time and running a calculation. Go is best suited for that.
We programmers share our knowledge freely in user manuals, tutorials, articles and YouTube videos.
But in my experience the only thing that I see slowing down new programmers is motivation. You can't really learn code without having a reason to apply what you've learned. You have to come up with a reason first, That's my best advice.
I'm a programmer and I don't think I've ever been asked about my education.. not that I have much I'm mostly self taught. Even so, I can't imagine what more education could give me to show in an interview.
The opensource community changes SOP for all of us basically every quarter so how is my education supposed to keep up with that?
The one thing I never understood about breaking up the giants is how are the remaining components gonna compete. Bc "YouTube inc" would benefit alot from "Chrome inc" and "Android inc". It's not like when we broke up the oil giants into normal sized oil tycoons that compete against each other. These are completely unique businesses that just feed off of each other instead of taking from each other.
Downvote me if you must but what if Apple accidentally became the Privacy community's greatest ally? I know it can't happen bc they'll always keep a back door for their data mining
