i'd argue against that point to a degree. going against the grain does work, if you know who you're looking for and can send the right signals accordingly
it's that okcupid data about how the highly tattoo'd people tended to get the most negative responses, but also very strong responses from other seriously tat'd people
> This really does - I don't mean it in a disparaging way - read like a mid-life crisis writing.
OP is living in a world of hyperreality of his own making. dude has always been doing software and never been able to break out of that.
it's not like he's been bartending though college and then slide into CS/dev work and is struggling with how startups are it's own weird universe. it's all hes ever known and is now convinced that the hinge dates and axe throwing are the weird, not-real thing.
homie has been in his weird autism-tech-bubble and never had a reason to get out of it
> This reads more like geohot finally hit the point where he can't stand comments more so than it has to do with what is in the text. Idiots and trolls in the audience put real mental toll on streamers - facing and tackling mean comments straight on don't make them mental Hulks. If anything that wears them down and mentally weaken them.
geohot is living in a world where he is reacting to their discussions, instead of harvesting them. of course he burns out.
the game streamers just go LOL and the onlyfans types go "oh honey" and blow it off -- and watch their wallet fill with $$$
but george is making this interactive and isn't harvesting $$$, he feels a need to engage. knowledge workers see all criticism as a challenge, part of the "engineer's disease thing" and can't disconnect, and doesn't have the satisfaction of walking out with 300k a year from the stream.
used to heat my dorm room with a Pentium D that I overclocked and pointed a small fan at. Could open a window in winter, turn off the room radiator, and keep it cozy.
perhaps at-home LLMs will bring me back to that. fun days of hacking and thermodynamics.
serious, go look at the F500 list and see how many of the largest, meanest companies in the US (and world) world also happen to be healthcare
if you wanna know why it's never gonna happen -- there is the list. they will spend more money than god on social media, bribes, and whatever else they need to keep the system the way it is
you have access to all of the redhat documentation but no internet. if there is a right way to do it as written in the docs then you can often find it.
no internet-style indexing tho, so it's a lot of ctrl-f and hoping you pick the correct chapter -- which can be hard with a timelimit. on stuff I was strong in it was trivial, I'd already seen the docs and knew what to look for but on the few items I wasn't it was a lot of flailing.
> There are ~350,000,000 of us. When I read we spent $1B, I think about how I'm responsible for $3 of that. It doesn't matter considering the ~$117,550 of the national debt I'm responsible for. It palls compared to the $3,000 a year in interest towards the national debt I'm responsible for.
currently on GraphineOS for those very reasons. There is some amazing stuff in XDA forums but ultimately it's just some random guy posting some random ROM.
Only way I was able to get Cyanogenmod on stuff back in the day, was to use shady hacks from XDA, but man it was super slow and seemed to use a ton of bandwidth...
