From his perspective, he's investing his free time and likely money into a project for people that are 99% of the time just leechers, as in they never contribute back and only complain.

Now he has a tool that he feels helps him deal with all that FREE labor is doing for everyone, and the very same people now want to tell him how to do his FREE labor he does for them.

I completely understand being pissed off by that.

Is this a good time to mention that animal ag is the most wasteful form of food we have? Further, consider capitalism and western rich countries. If the choice is between feedin poor people and feeding cows, what choice will the money make?

Don't Buddhists use a similar loop hole to eat meat? In theory, they shouldn't be killing and eating animals because of the non-violence. But if they launder it via some other hunter, that's fine.

This is only a good argument if we also hate on other technically not necessary things that use a lot of water. Otherwise, we're being hypocrites who only ever require personal responsibility if it doesn't affect us.

By the way, what's the environmental impact of your cheese burger? About a bajillion times higher. But that requires you to change.

Der Hyundai 5N hat so einen Sportmodus. Da werden uber die internen Lautsprecher verschiedene Motorengeraeusche gespielt. Das kann ich eigentlich verstehen. Nach aussen hin ist aber daemlich.

Don't Lives Lost also impose costs and lost revenue on businesses? Even from a business standpoint, killing a bunch of people is bad for business.

Well, sure, but when everyone loses their fucking minds about the tiniest thing, that even requires us to buy all the lies from billionaires about how much the build out will be, while having never done anything about the biggest thing they could personally change, it starts sounding mightily hypocritical.

It seems like the personal responsibility to boycott polluting and unnecessary industries is limited to whatever doesn't require any personal effort from the person speaking.

Napkin math:

• 40% of americans are very or extremely concerned about AIs environmental impact
• To save 34 million tonnes of CO2e, you need about 5.2 million vegans from now until 2030
• So only 5% of ONLY the complainers would need to go vegan to make up for this "tremendous" impact
• That's 2% of all americans

That's the thing we're even attacking random strangers online for. The thing that we pretend is going to bring about the end times. But sure, veganism is the extreme position.....

By the way, what other resources are we saving?

• Water — about 8.8 trillion gallons (~33 billion m³)
• Land — around 1–1.5 million acres of forest/land
• Animals — roughly 8 billion animals including fish and shellfish

Even further, most people raging about supposed pedos give zero actual fucks about children. They just want a group of to hate and despise unthinkingly. They need something to make them feel like better people. It's the reason that despicable murderers will kill child molestors in jail. Neither has a leg to stand on.

For example, how many actual child molesters do you think are pedophiles? The minority!!!! So when you preach about pedos, you're literally ignoring the majority of perpetrators.

Or what about the incessant semantic creep of what a pedophile is? Medically speaking, a capital P Pedophile has a major or exclusive attraction to prepubescent children that is severe enough to hinder them in their daily lifes, or threaten the health of themselves and/or others. The anime nerd in the basement looking at 14 year old eternal dragon girls is weird, but a fucking far cry from a pedo.

If a 30 year old finding a 17 year old attractive and someone actually assaulting a 5 year old is put into the same bucket, the bucket becomes meaningless.

I get the idea of hating this, but there's really absolutely nothing revolutionary about this. Being "undercover" is as trivial as "commit this, do not mention AI".

In the end, at least with code, it's the actual resulting quality that is the main determinant of what should be accepted or not.

From my memory of their financials, they actually get enough donations for the browser. The issue is the for profit companies fetish for a million different side quests.

Isn't that literally the last line, but for art? The average person gave very little fucks about "art" before AI, and most art happened for purely base reasons, like marketing or porn. Fancy shmancy art will continue to exist.

At best, a boycott is part of veganism. Vegans obviously also don't personally kill animals to eat, or kick puppies, or have cock fights. Not supporting those things financially is a consequence of that stance, not it's sole purpose.

The reason it seems like a boycott is simply because for the average city dweller, buying animal products is simply the main way they interact with this form of oppression.

To try an analogy: Imagine most/all men actually not assaulting or raping women. But, 99% of them pay for others to do that on their behalf, three times a day. Feminism would look a lot like "just a boycott" to these people simply because consumption is their main point of exposure/support of anti-feminism.

Well, the beauty of research is that you can actually do it, instead of spouting whatever nonsense that was.

If Bill Gates tells you tomorrow to not kill puppies, you killing puppies overmorrow?

Cool, and then there's NEVER any problems with different paths? With back and forward slashes? With the limit on path length? With missing permissions on the file system requiring weird workarounds?

Most importantly, your server is likely not Windows, yet you test on Windows, and that's never ever been a serious source of issues?

And don't say WSL. That's like saying the fix to using Windows is to use Linux, but fiddlier. Not to mention you still get issues with the mounted file system.

It's not just profitable, it also requires most people in the west (probably 99% of people here) to realize there understanding of what a "basic level of quality of life" is is completely scewed by our immense privilege. Globally speaking, we are all part of the top 10% destroying the planet the most. From memory, a single american going vegan can make up for a families worth of emissions in a poorer country.

There's no amount of rich people we can eat or corporations we can destroy that will allow us to just live like we are at the moment. Nowhere close.

If they do, like they love to pretend to, then they are part of the people responsible for all the horrible things Trump is doing. If they're not, then why should anyone care?

Of course we would exclude a product from one of the biggest industries at fault for literally every single common environmental issue we have. Animal AG is horrible for everyone involved and not involved.

Yelling omnivores is exactly as stupid as conservatives talking about this or that being natural or unnatural.

And in socialism, the exploitation of the planet for meat production didn't happen? I'd love to see any sort of data on that.

Finally, you likely pretend to be smart, at least much smarter than all the capitalism fans. Yet, you lack any and all concept of the material reality of meat production, or most production while we're at it. Meat production IS unsustainable at anywhere close to the amount we have today. Throw in environmental and worker protection, and you'll eat meat like caviar.

BTW, if in your dream worker collective, everybody votes to keep polluting the earth because they just can't give up meat, do I then get to have morals?

Americans simply have no idea how much of what they take for granted is simply an unsustainable luxury. That absolutely includes leftists, too.

Ignoring prices, Mac is definitely the second best option after Linux for Linux-y development flows. None of my issues were huge, but still enough to ask for a Linux laptop for a replacement.

1. Very little customization, compared to Linux. I'm talking horizontal tiling window managers like Niri
2. Docker does not run natively, so you pay a hefty performance penalty with the VM
3. File name case insensitivity caused a bunch of Git issues
