A diy VPN is exactly the disaster scenario of vibe coding.

Hey, let’s play a game. Any time someone says something good, you guys shit all over it.

Wait, did you all start without me?

Habanero is easier than the original post.

Reddit was profitable off of just minimal advertising and Reddit Gold. I’m concerned about video hosting, but I think mastodon and Lemmy can scale just fine.

We have apps for that, and they’re typically a pita. They certainly take longer than just talking through your order.

It’ll go the other way, eventually. Keep the experienced people who are willing to use AI and can handle the more complicated things AI can’t.

But for now they’re just firing people and hoping things still work later. Since research and development both have delayed results, they can celebrate their win immediately and not pay the consequences til later.

Man, wouldn’t it be nice if both of our counties didn’t have ridiculous propaganda and fascism so that we could just cooperate on shit like this without having to worry as much about maliciousness on a state level?

Maybe you just haven’t had enough ketamine.

difficult to argue against.

Well, except for this one.

Two of the largest drivers are religion, christians wanting their Sharia Law, and Russia taking political control of the US.

Capitalism is in the top three, sure. It’s also part of the driver of that technology.

I don’t think we should worship capitalism as we have, but I don’t think getting rid of capitalism as a whole solves more problems than it creates.

Give me capitalism with heavy socialist controls and political separation please, thanks. The general idea of using money as a measure of what society owes you isn’t terrible. It’s allowing that measure to get so out of whack and have such inordinate control of everything that is the problem.

Parasites. Are those the ones that bring in a bunch of resources and give them to the host?

The complaint that got blamed on capitalism was:

The information age gave way for the misinformation age, where everything is fake.

and if there’s one entity/person most responsible for that, it’s Putin or the GOP. Most of it is political, and very little to do with capitalism itself. Except that capitalism surrounds and is intertwined with everything.

Still, if you get rid of capitalism, it doesn’t get rid of politics. I’d argue that the root of the issue is the GOP trying to hoard power (money and otherwise), and power is going to exist with or without capitalism. Is North Korea capitalist? Do they have issues with disinfo?

This Christian Sharia Law movement doesn’t exist for money.

Are you? I didn’t see it. If you’re trying to make the opposite point, why don’t you cherry pick the other way. Let’s see what you’ve got or if this headline is just bullshit.

I’m currently running 50/50 windows/Ubuntu. I’m no Windows fanboy. But I’m also a software dev and I understand deprecating useless shit, something Windows doesn’t do much of.

I’m not using any software that doesn’t have an upward swipe gesture for jumplists. How can people stand losing features like this?

the 16-bit Windows on Windows subsystems, which allowed 32-bit versions of Windows to directly run 16-bit DOS and Windows programs

Jesus, what a scam. Why does anyone put up with this?

I feel like half of the blame capitalism gets is valid, but the other half is just society. I don’t care what kind of system you’re under, you’re going to have to deal with other people.

Oh, and if you try the system where you don’t have to deal with people, that just means other people end up handling you.

If you’re into self hosting (or have a friend who is), I’ve found Navidrome (music hosting) and Substeamer app to be great open source alternatives.
