Yup, I basically never get anything sent first class. Greeting/holiday cards are about the only thing, and my parents these days just throw them into a priority mail care package anyway (and I'm past the age for the rush of wedding invitations).

Luckily my apartment has a recycling bin next to the mailboxes so all of the oversized stuff like that ends up there immediately, the rest I keep in a box until it's shredding time.

Perhaps they should increase the stamp price then? I don't think I get ANYTHING of value in stamped/prepaid envelopes at this point (I just throw all my mail in a box and shred it when it fills up). In the past year, I think the mail I actually wanted to receive could be counted on two hands, far outweighed by credit card offers, political flyers, and other crap.

Looking at the map, I can't see how this isn't a good thing? Rural areas have been over-subsidized for way too long.

Tbh, this was so heavy handed/poorly written that I couldn't get past the first six paragraphs or so. If this is supposed to be good satire, it's coming off more as "Epic Movie" than "Brazil"

> directly correlates to smaller team sizes, in shareholders driven economy.

Good! Costs going down is great

It’s kinda amazing how many different variants of the Ancient Aliens scam exist.

And why does traditional knowledge have any weight whatsoever? Sounds like another form of religious claptrap to me.

I’d hope the people in charge of those companies aren’t wasting their time reading slop like this.

I don’t see how one can live in a world where machines are solving and making headway on Millennium Prize problems and say the above with a straight face.

> Just vibecode your own OS no? Why stop at just one?

This is exactly why I oppose all religious exemptions.

Also begs the question, if humanism counts, why not transhumanism?

Why would I read an entire essay when you can't even be bothered to tell me what it's supposed to prove? I couldn’t care less whether it was by Pynchon, Marx, Friedman, Amodei, or anyone else.

Also, if humanism is being classified this way, why not transhumanism?

Not if one is a transhumanist, it feels liberating

Good! All jobs should be made obsolete

“Old man yells at cloud”

They shouldn’t

Odyssey is better than SMB, but OOT-WW-TP are all better than BOTW (I consider it and TOTK to be the worst games in the series).

If you have to see them, they aren’t defaults. It’s bad enough that Windows Terminal doesn’t expose its full configuration and forces you to edit the config by hand for more advanced stuff. Feels like a step backwards when something like iTerm 2 gives you access to all settings in a (admittedly kinda crappy) GUI. This also kinda begs the question why there’s not a /TUI/ configuration manager shipped…

Why would a terminal multiplexer need an entire company behind it? Especially since it looks identical to the many other vibe coded alternatives (including my own lol).

What does that have to do with portability? It doesn’t support a bunch of CPU architectures, the portability metric I care about.

You’re kidding right? That’s not what the support matrix on the Zig site shows. Plenty of CPU archs in Tier 3/4. No support for Alpha, HPPA, M68K, Sparc, or SuperH.

Opera had tabs and sessions in 2000. I started using it specifically because IE6 would crash and lose everything I had open.

That seems…fragile. Is there even much future in Zig? The only other major project that I know of using Zig ditched it.

Isn’t it written in Zig? Not sure how that is “highly portable” compared to C

I've always meant to play this, had actually asked GPT about doing a decomp jsut the other day, and it surfaced yours. Nicely done

Yes, some of us simply don't give a damn. I'll continue buying Apple products because they work and I don't have to do much of anything to keep them working. Just because I like tinkering or customizing other computers/devices, doesn't mean I want to be a sysadmin to my phone lol

For this I'd highly recommend either the NanoKVM or an Intel machine that has AMT support (and a cheap wifi outlet for when things get truly borked)

Edit: PXE and kexec() are also friends :)
