Telephone

If you are referring to me, then present a proof, since the burden of the evidence lies on the accuser.

If you mean the link or crosspost author, jfc, ever heard of something called critical analysis?

It really makes you see how the petrochemical industry kills two birds with one stone here

chill, it’s called booze cruising

Also the ‘cultural exchange’ you’d get if you lived in border regions!

Also, synthetic cannabinoids. So glad that kids these days are not exposed to this shit, but I wouldn’t say I’m happy either with all the fent out there.

And larping as pagan.

Netbooks. Jfc that performance of a mid-tier smartphone whereby they’d become unusable in a few years for anything heavier than lxqt or some tiling wm, a simple music player like audacious, vim and static websites (accessed only using something lightweight like Netsurf, Badwolf or Palemoon as well). I don’t remember what happened to mine but I’m pretty sure that even mpv with no scripts would drop frames like crazy on FHD x265 matroska videos. I’m so glad that ultrabooks started to become more affordable and nowadays I’d be able to buy an i7 t440s for the price of my acer aspire one back in 2011.

mps wouldn’t have managed to do shit without the protesters

don’t forget the thousands of brave protesters. if it wasn’t for them, those MPs would probably have been blocked effectively

ah great, another glowie thread

they have nice cameras. but the battery life is attrocious and sometimes will run into radio issues (iirc fixed only one or 2 generations ago)… lack of otg support is also one minor issue

also Huawei laptops. Jfc what a trashy counterfeit of a MacBook and if you get an AMD one, better also get a good cooling stand. The keyboard is terrible and costs a fuckton to replace and generally the repairability is like with macs, the USB ports are built in a way that just begs for either them or your peripherals to be broken, they might overheat while charging, they ship bloatware and the speakers are ridiculously quiet. My friend’s mom bought her one contrary to my advice to get a second-hand thinkpad or just any other business-line laptop and it she had to return the first shipment because the screen got bent during shipment.

MIUI… don’t even get me fucking started on this garbage. It literally removes numerous features from vanilla android, presumably to relocate some performance budget to the bloat they add.

Beyerdynamic or Jabra are also quite good, depending on your budget. Cheap Sennheisers might have overly strong bass and bad breathability.

premature optimization is a root of all evil.

also when those morons decide to do ‘microservices’ but end up creating glorified SOA with one messy DB where half the tables are not even used by anything, updates in place are the standard and there is nothing like one team per service, but instead everyone is expected to navigate millions of lines of spaghetti code with poor documentation, barely any reuse and inconsistencies all across the board with this oh too-fucking-common entity service anti-pattern.

and so much fucking coupling that you better start deploying your dev cluster just right after waking up so it maybe is up and running by the time your daily is over.

Fun fact, I used to work at a company where a lot of projects use Elixir and a bulk share of my coworkers have been outspoken critics of microservices precisely because OTP manages to power fault tolerant and scalable systems but not by insane levels of complexity like kubernetes does but by CoC that rarely gets in your way.

simple is often the opposite of easy

Vue.js, it’s the simplest of the popular frontend frameworks

You can learn a hellton about sysadmin and DevOps by running a home lab and aiding that with some courses and maybe one cert or two but I wouldn’t splurge on certs that readily.

Golang, Express.js, Nest, Flask, SQL (a must), maybe Spark if you dare. Any popular and expressive framework/language for full stack/backend, except for Rails and PHP, those are dying technologies despite their still relatively high popularity in some countries.

Maybe Flutter, Swift or React Native if you want to get into mobile dev.

Just go to a job board, then to learnxinyminutes.com, pick something and start with building small, then medium sized, then maybe more complex projects or contributing to FLOSS written using your tech of interest (but please, PLEASE don’'t treat OSS contributions primarily as a way to get a job. Pick something you use instead. Try to figure out how you would implement something, do that and don’t let the impostor syndrome win if it uses a tech you’re familiar with whenever you want to open an issue on a git forge.

it’s reformist though. How isn’t it anything but depressing sharing of whatever meagre crumbs the bourgeoisie kicks from the table. Coops are marginally better but at the end of the day you’re playing a game whose rules you don’t control.
