This right here is why electronic locks could be way more secure than mechanical ones, if only their manufacturers would hire well-trained programmers and not boot camp graduates to write the firmware.

Since when were Boston Dynamics robots sentient?

Linux is already dominant on just about everything except the desktop, and it has yet to suffer significant enshittification.

Edit: Well, a bunch of Linux distributions have suffered enshittification, if that counts.

Environmentalists do not have a snowball’s chance in hell of outbreeding the “drill, baby, drill” crowd.

I agree, love the intervonnectivity with iOS, especially AirDrop.

To me, that sort of “feature” is nothing more than a security vulnerability waiting to be exploited.

Maybe I just think that because of past trauma from Microsoft products and IoT devices being blatantly insecure, but…

But I’d be lying if I said my initial impression was anything except “God, what a lazy, fat fuck.”

Sounds like envy. Working out is painful and exhausting, you aren’t allowed to eat tasty things except on extremely rare occasions, and that “lazy fat fuck” has neither of those problems.

And their response to LGBT+ issues, and their response to Trump’s crimes, and…

Yeah, no. Republicans have had more than enough opportunities to redeem themselves. There is no remaining doubt to give them the benefit of.

If I were to choose to have kids despite climate change, doesn’t that prove that I don’t care about climate change?

Cryptocurrency is a scam. Not just certain coins, but the whole concept. It’s nothing more than digital tulips.

JavaScript is a bad language, but what’s really bad about it is not the language itself but the ecosystem of libraries and tools. Getting just about anything to work is a huge struggle. Rust is much easier to use.

Having children is a horrible idea.

The only time I ever had memory problems with Firefox was when I tried to run it on a potato. That complaint has always been bullshit.

Edit to add: The aforementioned incident was in 2010, on a machine with only 512MB of RAM. Like I said, potato. Chrome back then was somewhat more memory-efficient than Firefox, and could support three open tabs on that machine before it started thrashing, whereas Firefox would thrash with just one. Both browsers performed abysmally under such a severe RAM shortage, but Chrome was slightly less abysmal. Slightly. I seriously doubt the current version of either browser would be usable on that machine, although I don’t have it (I gave it away soon after this incident) so I can’t check.

Finding clothes on a chair isn’t constant-time. You have to search through the heap of clothes to find the item you want. It has the same time complexity as searching through the closet; it’s only fast because n is small.
