"The best time to ditch tech giants was 15 years ago. The second-best time is now." -- Dutch proverb

I reckon we're just a bug and Colin doesn't even know about our existence.

Good thing too. Once Colin finds out, we'll be features that he has to document so that everyone else involved will know to use us or to bypass us.

We might even just be a heisenbug in a bug reproducer.

If I didn't know how incompetent and delusional our "leaders" are, there would probably be a sense of betrayal. But now it's just... void. Well, at least I got to grow up during the best time this world has ever seen, so I'm thankful for that.

Putin, Trump, Russians, Americans... are just doing their thing. Can't really be mad about that. I always thought there will never be another war in Europe, because (1) nobody's dumb enough to die for a bunch of crooks and (2) cannon fodder is not a great use of people anyway. Oh well, turns out propaganda is one hell of a drug (on both ends of the political spectrum).

Meanwhile... my hotel room in Shenzhen could change window tint with a voice command and automatically detect the language. My Indian colleague's 12yo kid wants to be an astronaut and has a better investment portfolio than me. It is so over.. people have no idea. Like, not tomorrow, not in five years, but certainly by the end of the century. Vivek Ramaswamy tried to give MAGA a hint, but got cancelled for it. (Cancel culture was supposed to be a left-wing postmodern thing btw. Oopsie! Let's pretend we're surprised, ok?)

At this point, if they make it inconvenient to browse the web, I'll just browse less.

Mozilla just can't stop f**ing up, and half of the websites I use don't work well with Brave.

When Bobby Fischer was thrown in jail, Spassky wrote a letter to Bush asking to pardon him, or if that's not possible, to put him in the same cell as Fischer and give them a chess set.

He also signed an open letter to Russian authorities to outlaw Jewish organizations for a "hidden campaign of genocide against the Russian people and their traditional society and values"

Another reason for him and Fischer to enjoy being cellmates I guess.

What is it with these chess masters?

If you lived under an oppressive government, you'd probably end up doing things you would later regret.

Having French citizenship, he voluntarily returned to Russia in 2012.

Oh come on, there's a time and place to discuss the man's shortcomings, but a HN funeral thread is not it.

Gotta love how everyone copies the nasty things Apple does (hi beach ball of death), but not the good things Apple does.

In a parallel universe, people ask if they could add Rust code to dma & stuff, Hellwig says no, and life goes on without all the drama.

Благодаря!

In English: Thank you!

In my experience Ubuntu is one of the harder distros to get working when it doesn't work ootb.

Agreed. This is exactly why I built Shell Bling Ubuntu https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/shell-bling-ubuntu , and test it every 6 months or so against a fresh install of Ubuntu in a VM - I don't want to have to remember all the little trivia I have to use to get all of my little command line tools, neovim setup, etc. working together harmoniously. The best part is I can hand it off to my colleagues and blow their minds with just how nice a terminal experience can be, "out of the box", kinda.

I think he's being sarcastic.

Per Poe’s law, which most of the Hacker News community is familiar with, assume sarcasm doesn’t exist unless the commenter explicitly tells it’s sarcasm.
