I don't see the appeal of scrolling through a list of games I could potentially make myself VS scrolling through a list of games I could immediately play.

Then what do they actually read?

This was simply replaced by LLMs wars. I find it even less fun.

And then you can no longer change a label without LLM assistance. I don't doubt this suits some people but impotently begging Claude to fix a critical bug while your boss looks over your shoulder must be quite humiliating.

I've never heard or read anyone saying this in the early 2000s. They had publicly stated their contempt of the web earlier, made fools of themselves when they realized their mistake and went all-in on it, and spent the whole decade lagging behind. The closest they had to an online success was Wizzes.

So would the previous and the next one, this is not situational.

The ability to switch software controls hasn't been communicated but the device will definitely be best suited for right hand handling (just opening it from left hand requires wrist twisting).

A dumb phone (or a glorified apple watch) that unfolds into an iphone, I would pay for this.

SE isn't sold anymore, and just like the Mini most of the NOS found today is actually refurbished.

> op in a Debian CD and select a ready made profile for it.

At the time in question here tasksel wasn't a thing, I think merely a concept. It made its way in Debian installer around 20005 IIRC, right along "one-click installs" from hosting services mentioned in the other reply. The whole decade before that, indeed manual set up was needed.

> at /r/homelab or somewhere selfhosters hang out today [...] That's orders of magnitude more manual work

There is two kinds of self-hosters, those who aim at reproducibility and those who don't. The latter is more fun, the former gets quickly mandatory when you _rely_ on your homelab.

> you could fairly easily host most things on a old fashioned lamp host (I am talking decades ago) and all you had to know was basic file transferring

Setting up and maintaining a server is easier today than it was decades ago, A LAMP at this time meant a lot of manual setup, IaC wasn't a thing, reproducibility wasn't a goal, versioning was confidential, documentation was scarce and often outdated, out of the box security was lower, ties to the OS were higher. Managing virtual hosts was clunky, updating OS/PHP was risky. I would not go back for anything.

> having to setup docker properly (rootless and all that)

Rootless being the proper way to setup Docker is a highly controversial take. You will mostly get added complexity and a false sentiment of security from it.

Uninteresting rant by a nobody, why is this posted here? Account created 13 days ago en passant.

> millions of developers

Try a few thousands.

Sounds like a marketing service had the idea to "simplify git", the presentation sounds like they haven't heard of git flows, and no offline mode is total no-go for me.

> Think about this: if your Internet connection went down, could you continue to do your job

Reads like "don't you guys have phones". My bet is it will be forgotten in a year.

After two years of using Teams daily I still cruelly Slack for a ridiculously long list of reasons. Teams is a casual chat product as best it doesn't belong to enterprise world.

> I mean that died decades ago when spammers just made pages with your word repeated over and over again. Spam makes everything worse.

No there was a long blessed period of time between the solving of spam and the introduction of altered results.

I've used many frameworks and in my opinion Svelte+Sveltekit has the very best simplcity over power ratio. If you don't mind job offers being quite scarce for this stack right now that's about the best choice. You can do the Svelte tutorial for a sneak peek of this.

You can have any kind of backend with Sveltekit, and call it from client or server (or both). You can even completely bypass sveltekit per request.

> He asked us to use only his first name to protect his identity

There was 80 persons inside one of the most powerful room of the world so they just use his first name to protect his identity.

Amazon answer according to the article is :

> Unfortunately, [the ruling] means we have no other choice than to extend the temporary suspension of activity in our French distribution centers while we assess the best way to operate with regards to the court of appeal’s decision

So I'm not sure how it's related to what you say. There are a lot of similar businesses that can continue shipping as usual and I would be very surprised if the Law has checked all of them for safety measures respect. It is highly probable that many of them don't do things correctly yet nobody cares. In the end this is typical of the French government hypocrisy that is going for the big (foreign) one just for the sake of symbolism. Cdiscount is a huge French Amazon clone that can still operate as usual, I can bet some of their employees are also at risk.

> The company is not your family.

Yes, and it's also not your friend. That's an easy mistake to make. You owe your company nothing more than work and loyalty.

Make a wild guess then multiply it by a number between 2 (10+ years of experience) and 4 (newbie). Works pretty well.

> There was a promise of a marketplace of ideas, making the world a better place

I have been there since the old times of IRC and I have never seen anything promised.

That's funny because I've been running Debian Sid for 15 years as my main OS doing weekly updates and the two single cases of breakage I've seen were glibc6 transition (which was announced and expected) and proprietary video card drivers. You must be thinking of Ubuntu specifically.
