The moment humans brought nuclear armaments into the world was also the moment that we severed ourselves from our humanity. We are still living in the shadows of metaphorical guns to our heads. This escalation of madness has led us down a very dark path, and for that reason, I’m out.
What am I looking at here? I just read their about page and feel more confused, lol.
M$ is terminal and most of the world is hooked up to a terminal entity; Most of the world is terminal.
So it’s just a matter of time–gotcha
Apple at least talks about privacy and security. Windows just dumped that shit right on you and is planning on storing in unencrypted databases… like, I would expect there to be enough brainpower at M$ to be able to write an application and then secure it… Just use Linux and when Ubuntu and Fedora decide they want to implement those features… OpenBSD it is :D
Apple at least tries to explain what is happening, and while not always great, you feel you understand why they are doing something or implementing new functionality unlike Windows who just dumps this shit on you without your consent and then you have to learn 5 years later that they put absolutely no thought in why they were doing, especially thinking about your privacy. Anyway, I use Arch, btw. /s
I’m a philosopher, nothing matters, so stop worrying about it and live your life the way you want to live it.
Metallica ruined it. They made it seem as though torrenting was evil because their content was being downloaded. Poor babies.
I’m not advocating one way or the other, but I would gladly take on the gardening duties :D
Somehow, I manage
M$ be like, fine, we didn’t want you anyway
I understand your frustration; many of us have been there, myself included. After 20 years in engineering, I’ve come to realize a few things. The daily grind for a corporation can indeed be tedious and full of disappointments. Often, it feels like we’re just completing meaningless tasks for someone else’s vision. Our minds wander to our own projects and ideas, and it’s tempting to start prototyping those instead of focusing on work.
This feeling of unfulfilled potential isn’t going away because we can see how much better things could be. But here’s what I remind myself: I am fortunate to have a stable job, even if it’s programming mundane things for average needs. This stability allows me the luxury of working on my own projects after hours. Without this job, I’d likely be stuck in gig work, struggling with low pay and irregular hours.
So, I view the routine work as a necessary “tax” I pay to secure personal time for my own creative endeavors. It’s a trade-off that provides income and stability, enabling me to pursue my passions on my terms.
We always have to pander to the capitalists profits, how could the make money with clean electricity???
