I'd rather deal with an adult who cares about their job and customer service than some dead-eyed, gaping-mouthed, bovine-brained, fashion-concerned teenager any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
the only thing Russia hacked was how stupid Americans are and how addicted they are to using quick quotes to signal a false intelligence... so that's on us. As far as the DNC... those emails should be public from the moment they are sent. All government emails should reside on a public searchable database... content is king.
That is so spot-on... the only reason people care about forcing diversity in tech is because its now a fashionable industry that gets you respect and makes you money. If coders were not lauded for being super-smart, rich, and working in "fun environments" nobody would care how big of a white sausage fest it'd be.
I moved to Windows the second I saw the Linux Subsys... for 3K i built a sick machine, water cooled, expandable to 128 GB of RAM, can add 2 more GPUs if I want and I rock a dual m.2 for the OS... NOTHING apple makes can touch it... and the Trash Can macPro is... laughable now. I still rock an iPhone and the Itunes music match service tho... but Dropbox replaced icloud drive a long time ago. I still like my macbook but that's just because of battery life nowadays.... and I can push a desktop to AppleTV... but that's not for work lol.
Snapchat makes money on premium accounts which are mostly amateur porn accounts. Idk if that helps or hurts. edited to say: I don't know how much money they make but they seem to have a pretty substantial direct-to-consumer porn platform going on lol.
I unfollowed like 85% of my "friends" on facebook this past year... probably 75% of all the news sources I used to enjoy and left all the groups but the professional ones I still like and because I have FB Messenger... i don't miss any of it and people can message me. I have a youtube sub list and podcasts for "news" and if i wanna see my buddy's feed... i can just go look. It's a void; I'm enjoying meeting people for drinks or meals so much more now. Life is better.
