What a weird way to open a post.

Yeah Spring wasn’t 1.0 until 2004. We had XML files upon XML files just to describe one single Java “Bean”. I did java programming from 2001-2002 and the again from 2011-today. Things dramatically changed (framework-wise) in that short decade I was away from it.

I would agree, Spring Boot and Spring are very useful to learn. React, despite having its origins in Facebook and still with Meta’s hands on it, is a good web framework especially if you use it with Typescript.

Kids will realize some day what garbage Roblox actually is. And then the ride will be over.

To those saying "he's right"...

He's complacent. He's a useless troll. He thinks nothing should change because he's effectively saying "it is what it is", which is the same bullshit response I see from every single conservative who continues to simply say "thoughts and prayers" after an event like this. There are many ways to try to help prevent such a tragedy, and blanket statement of it being a "fact of life" does literally nothing.

And every day, it keeps happening. And every day, the media keeps shining a spotlight on it. And every day, nothing gets done.

When there exists an operating system that can satisfy that qualification, I'll concede the point. Until then, OEM and retail support is what matters.

I had this issue immediately with 9-12. Turns out it was an issue with vkd3d. And I’m very thankful that a new version of GE-Proton was released so fast after the vkd3d fix had been committed/pushed.

Whether any OS could ever just work isn’t even going to solve the issue.

Getting OEMs to sell laptops and desktops in Best Buy (or the like) that have Linux installed and is properly supported — that is what will help solve the issue.

Things don’t just work on any operating system.

With Windows, you have to hope there’s a solution that you can implement that doesn’t require rooting around in the insanely-outmoded registry and doesn’t require uninstalling some specific KB12345678 update.

With MacOS, you will do as Apple says, and you will like it. Otherwise, enjoy the $3000 doorstop. Granted, there is plenty you can tweak, but when there is a problem, and you find some Apple Communities post with a copy/paste official reply that has steps to take, none of which ever actually solve the problem, you will be treated with a cheeseburger on your way to the insane asylum. Full disclosure: a MacBook Air is my daily work driver.

With Linux, you are in charge — for better and for worse. This means that when there is a problem, while there is likely a solution, it will depend on many, many factors such as hardware configuration, kernel version, desktop environment, graphics card, display manager, etc. But, you can fix it with research and perseverance with no company getting in the way.

The main difference with Linux, is that you are given the freedom to deal with problems as you see fit.

So, yes, to me, Linux is as good as I think it is — not because it’s better or more stable (though subjectively I would say it is), but because it respects us by keeping the ownership and power where it belongs.

The damage is done, though. And the fact that Intel wouldn’t do anything about damaged CPUs (edit: without requiring the customer to call over and over and over about the RMA) or recall affected CPUs is quite telling. So I’m jumping ship to AMD for my next build.

Of course she may lose, but articles like this are useless. Would be nice if people who claim to want her elected would stop doing Republicans work for them.

She has numerous policies, some of which are:

  • Working to stop companies from price gouging.
  • Working on a cease fire in the Middle East.
  • Increasing the child tax credit for new parents
  • Bringing back first time homebuyer’s tax credit.
  • Returning to a higher corporate tax rate.
  • Working to get prescriptions much more affordable for everyone.
  • Working to get abortion rights codified in law.

And people seem to have a very short memory about how they tackled COVID (which of course is still around, but is far less dangerous now than it once was), inflation, and jobs.

I sure wish people would stop acting like she has no policy ideas and plans when she has explained many of them, multiple times.

All it requires is listening. And therein lies the problem.

But yeah, let’s write up an article that is effectively Fox News propaganda and act like it’s not.
