Hasn’t that always been the way? A little Super PAC and some lobbying to grease the wheels

Sound advice, honestly, especially the "no I'm always the victim attitude" piece.

The more politically-charged parts of your comment apply to both sides - it's fine if you have political opinions, but nobody wants them shoved down their throats, or brought up at work. If you come across as someone who is going to put politics over work, or cause conflict, then people aren't going to want to hire you and deal with that.

Yeah I saw the headline and was interested to read a well-reasoned macro perspective on how and why attitudes have shifted towards AI, misconceptions, predictions on the future, etc.

Instead I got another one-sided unhinged rant that looks straight out of a typical Reddit post.

Do you do your dev work on the windows machine (referenced in the docs), or do you remotely access it from a separate machine? I ask because I have a RTX 3090 kicking around in a gaming desktop, but I don't use it for any dev work (I use a Macbook Pro).

Well said. People love to make everything black and white / good and bad. But things are rarely that simple.

I grew up and live in the southeast. I also lived on the west coast for a decade.

I find your comment completely off base.

Seat belt laws are an interesting example though because they only apply when driving on public roads. You can drive your car with no seat belt on a private track all day if you want to.

I’d argue putting everything in terms of black and white is the bigger issue than understanding nuance

That’s still like 10 uses vs unlimited uses on macOS

Not my 70yo mom. She used to have a big gray PC but switched to a Chromebook (one I gave her) about 15 years ago, and now only uses her phone and tablet.

As a kid I used to buy bootleg Japanese Dragonball Z tapes from a legit store at the mall!

They sold them under the counter. I just wanted to know what was going to happen ahead of all my friends haha.

Seems like the wrong link to me. Just a dude working on a car.

Is there anything like this for the Logitech keyboards (eg MX Keys Mini)? I want to remap some keys there too but don’t want to run Options+

Their margins may not have changed actually. https://youtu.be/IGCzo6s768o

I agree with Epic. It should be like on windows or macOS where you can register, get notarized, and then distribute without scare screens. I don’t see why phones are inherently different than computers.

I don’t want to be too flippant, but I think there is a real trade off across many aspects of life between “freedom” and “safety”.

There is a point at which people have to think critically about what they are doing. We, as a society, should do our best to protect the vulnerable (elderly, mentally disabled, etc) but we must draw the line somewhere.

It’s the same thing in the outside world too - otherwise we could make compelling arguments about removing the right to drive cars, for example, due to all the traffic accidents (instead we add measures like seatbelts as a compromise, knowing it will never totally solve the issue).

“Acquihire” means there was an acquisition. This is just a hire.

Didn’t we all learn this with the Snowden files? Nothing new unfortunately

Yeah they are both acting as a RAT essentially. Just one is in your control and one isn’t.
