that is an ungodly 40 minute read without much of a takeaway. Here's the AI generated tl;dr

The author recounts a reluctant experience with public speaking, stemming from a past incident where he discussed topics beyond his audience's expectations. Despite initially hesitating, he revives his experience to talk about "Computers in the Movies," drawing parallels between the portrayal of computers in films and real technological advances. The author highlights the impact of movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey and WarGames in depicting computers as both helpers and threats, often reflecting societal fears about technology. He contrasts Hollywood’s dramatizations with today's mundane reality of technology, pointing out how things like email and PowerPoint have subtly influenced our behaviors and thinking, suggesting that our relationship with technology is akin to addiction rather than dependency. Transitioning to modern development practices, the author critiques tools like Visual Studio and features like IntelliSense for shaping, perhaps simplifying, programming methods. Despite these tools' capabilities, he fears they undermine coding skills by promoting faster but potentially less thoughtful programming. Finally, he reflects on the shift from traditional coding, highlighting the value of returning to basic coding tasks to rediscover the joy of pure algorithmic programming, away from the complexity of modern integrated development environments and pre-written frameworks.

Yes, scrolling is the only way smaller screens can display info when everything is blown in size to be compatible with touch and readable at a glance.

It's up to the driver to be responsible and not read texts while driving, not Android Auto, which already does plenty to prevent extended use with a moving vehicle.

ok, that's it, I'm donating monthly

Never, but I recently switched to Zen so idk if I'll find myself doing that in a few weeks/months too.

we just need one more salmon

They meant mail. With patches in punch cards. Just as good.

joke's on you, I'm not working tomorrow, just 45 years or more left if I don't die before

it's a curved viotek @ 144hz, not the best quality, but it was the cheapest with these specs back then

ah, this filter by timestamp might be very useful to me, thanks

works fine on KDE, I use a 34" and wouldn't go back to a two monitor setup. Maybe two ultra-wides stacked vertically? But not 16:9.

I do use kwin with tiled windows, btw, with the new Krohnkite.

last year I had over 1TB freed by docker system prune on a dev VM. If you're building images often, that's a mandatory command to run once in a while.

I do think the demand decreased in the past decade. The average consumer has their photos and documents in the cloud and signs up to streaming services for movies, shows, and music. Local storage is not as important as it used to be.

title should read adopt*

first thing I noticed is that they bothered with the plural; it's loss, but an absolute win too

That makes much more sense with the US gov and its immigration stance. People thinking "illegals" are freeloaders will be making the surprised pikachu face when nobody wants take their old jobs and blame the democrats when the prices of everything keep rising.
