This is all software, companies keep finding excuses to tack on “features” that increase development cost which eventually lead to necessary price increases.

In the professional world you will rarely ever hear project managers and leaders ask the question “would our customers rather pay extra for feature X or save money by sticking to their simpler feature set?” This is because development is nearly always started with the long term goal of incorporating a feature into the product to increase the overall “value” of the product. This increased “value” of the product then means that the company should charge more for it.

I am ranting now.

You’re acting like this is a right wing play, but the tactic of using fascism as an insult toward left wing parties actually has precedent even within left wing politics.

No, I’m skeptical because it sounds more like disillusionment.

That sounds salty.

I’ve left jobs when I don’t get rewarded for hard work. Thankfully we live in a free market that allows me to also freely choose my employer and occupation.

Humans do not like the same thing over and over every day.

Speak for yourself, I like routine and being rewarded for working hard.

I love it when my connected and likely not security hardened devices needlessly include components that would be valuable to compromise.

I’m in the same boat as the commentator. Moved from Phoenix to Chicago. I like seasons.

Simply “web design” has been a dying profession in the US too. I’d argue website building platforms (SquareSpace and the like) have more to do with this market drying up then AI does.

I’m a developer, so I find it easier because dependency management is easier (especially if you have a good package manager, arch btw). WSL is improving but is still not enough for my needs (big projects that use usb are not well supported).

In particular, it was his view that he can impose himself on the community in such a way that takes us steps closer to a walled garden.

That’s why we’re all here instead of adding to Spez’s IPO.

The codebase is irrelevant, I’ve already rated it, it’s another blink clone. As a product, on the other hand, you should definitely practice responsible consumerism. Aligning your values with your consumption is a good thing.

There is surveillance everywhere outside, even having your own car doesn’t protect you from having your privacy encroached. That’s why I never go outside.

I am pro-shutdown, but two subreddits that come to mind that revolted against their mods participating in the protest are r/nba and r/eggs_irl.
