  • Honestly, I more than half agree because the factor most seem to conveniently ignore is that languages and environments that encourage better and safer code are aimed at the lowest common denominator.

    The lowest common denominator of developers are the ones that benefit the most from a reduction in defects or unsafe code they may produce. They are the biggest pool of developers. And in my experience, the ones least likely to proactively take measures to reduce defect rates unless it’s forced upon them and/or baked into their environment.

    They are the ones that will slap any in typescript to resolve errors instead of actually resolving them, or the ones that will use dynamic in C# instead of actually fixing the bad design … etc



  • Such a shame that Wayland did away with accessibility APIs which makes switching a hard stop for those of us with disabilities that rely on software that works with these APIs.

    They work with X11, which had consistent APIs, but Wayland leaves it up to each distro to implement their own APIs, if they do at all, fragmenting the ecosystem.

    Hell, even mouse acceleration curves are skuffed now, it really sucks.







  • I disagree.

    I don’t necessarily know about new music, artists, or genres. I want to get a mixture of stuff I haven’t encountered.

    Something like 60% of the music I listen to in a given month I had never heard of 12 months prior. I’ve found so much music that I vibe with by way of generated playlists.

    Discovering something new that scratches my music itch is in itself a pleasure for me, and I can go back to it at a later date, like everything else.

    This doesn’t mean I support Spotify, but it does mean I disagree with your stance.
