Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible
It isn't Google Engineers wanting to do it. It's Google engineers being told to do it.

I was just getting into Linux desktop development. I asked one question regarding getting the position of a mouse on some Ubuntu developer forum. The response drove me away from developing for Linux and I never returned.

Free vasectomy clinic fills up fast in Oklahoma City
You know those water balloon toys with the hose hook up? It fills about 20 small water balloons and you have to sorta jiggle the hose to get the balloons to slide off.
Well, it felt like the doctor was pulling a hose on a mini version if this inside my boys.
Was legit horrible experience.
Don't let anyone fool you. Sooooo glad it's done.

Any time I've thought about switching from web dev, being an electrician always looked the most appealing. I second this option.

No, I'm banking on the younger generations coming out of the woodwork. They've dealt with so much and really hoping they realize their vote could really send these dinosaurs into extinction.

What is a well known 'public secret' in the industry you work in that the majority of outsiders are unaware of?

Package management is impossible. When a big enough package pushes an update the house of cards eill fall. This causes project packages with greatly outdated versions to exist in production because there is no budget to diagnose and replace packages that are no longer available when a dependency requires a change.
Examples: adminJs or admin bro... one of them. Switched the package used to render rich text fields.
React-scripts or is it create react app, I don't recall. Back end packages no long work as is on the front end. Or something like that? On huge projects, who's got the budget to address this to get the project up to date?
This has to be a world wide thing. There is way to many moving targets for every company to have all packages up to date.
It's only a matter of time before an exploit of some sort is found and who knows what happens from there.

Look at them going about their lives, unaware of what's to come.
So, the band gets their 10 cents, the jukebox gets its money, and the bar mutes the jukebox....
I don't see how this makes any sense.

What was one thing your teacher did that you still can't forgive them for?
Exist. The US education system failed me.
I am not "normal" I can't read a chapter and pass a test. I need to be hands on. So the system gave me a C and moved me on to the next grade.
I was given the privilege to realize I can program, and by high school had already become pretty handy in C++. This is before high school.
I was a star in every tech class they had. Got Cs still of course cause i didn't give a fuck, but it was very clear I was light-years ahead of even the teachers.
Not one teacher, staff or administrator asked me why I wasn't going to college? Sat me down about my grades and got me aligned. No one gave 2 shits.
I got lucky. I got myself into the career without college. But man, those students who didn't have the privileges I did, that just got dropped to the curb. Shame.

How does everyone here feel about foldable phones?

Its a lame gimic IMO. Requiring replacement batteries should slow them down. I've no interest and would only get one if it was the only chooce. I want my headphone jack back.

I've no interest in a flip phone. Why? Why is my option a foldable screen, but no head phone jack? That's not something I want, that's something I need.
