What?! You can run whole Linux apps on Windows

I still think these guys are lunatics, who loves windows coding so much as to do this? Hahaha very impressive

I think this is true to some degree, but not exclusively true; new grads still get jobs. However, I think it’ll take some time for universities to catch up with the changes they need to make to refocus on architecture, systems design & skilled use of LLMs

My opinion is that the demand for software is still dramatically higher than what can be achieved by hiring every single senior dev + LLM. I.e. there will need to be more people doing it in the future regardless of efficiency gains

Argument doesn’t check out. You can still manage people, and they can use whatever tools make them productive. Good understanding of the code & ability to pass PR reviews isn’t going anywhere, nor is programmer skill

Huh I guess it’s “normal” but I hadn’t heard of Linux OSes tracking active user telemetry. Turns out this is a fedora / rpm mechanism that tracks the ip addresses of people updating their system. Something to think about. Archlinux for example does not do any form of this tracking as far as I can tell

I don’t really see a market need for this, just use signal. C++ is also a weird language to use in the modern era, pretty much totally eclipsed by Go or Rust, not that you need performance anyway. Or just use webrtc for p2p connections with a standard TURN/STUN relay for network layouts that prevent direct p2p, this can be done pure web or via apps. Already has audio/video and encryption. XMPP and Matrix are also fine. But as a learning exercise, great project

It’s interesting that signal was partially funded by the American govt international propaganda wing (radio free Asia parent) early on. So I mean, not totally wrong. Though of course I’m a big fan of signal and it’s developers

Do a philosophy minor if you have any affinity for it. Do a major in something that pays. Use that set of big picture critical thinking + a decent fallback plan to secure yourself. Then decide later in life what you love to do

I really don’t understand why lemmy hates ai so much. I get massive productivity gains every day from AI. I agree with this exec that we probably won’t hit AGI using current tech or maybe ever, but we still have:

• incredibly useful image generation that dramatically speeds up the work of designers
• coding agents that, when used skillfully, generate usable code, and review code pretty well in PRs
• suno, which can generate stems that my musician friends are regularly using instead of having to hunt through the Internet for days for the right trumpet melody

How this translates to profit is unclear since there is a race to the bottom, companies are choosing to give away the tech to gain market share rn, but the technology is undeniably useful, and already rolled out inside of every major tech company

Wow holy crap, great work - the world badly needs this. Im assuming the mechanism is the same, you inject a js script into your site. I’m also very interested in pure server side solutions for analytics, but they can’t hit all the features you did in a generic way afaik

Yeah sure you can do that but people won’t listen. What I mean by thought police is actually doing policing, like “no you can’t say that or we will arrest you” which goes against the idea of freedom of speech. It’s reminiscent of when ussr was jailing karate teachers

Yeah you can’t do a thought police

Yeah, the situation got resolved when harm came in. You gotta commit an actual crime to be punished right? I’m familiar with the documentary and actually have friends who continue to be followers of Osho’s teachings. It’s not all bad, there was a lot of very good outcomes for some people’s health and wellness there too, the documentary frames it as a situation where the second in command basically drugged him and became an egomaniac. Shit happens. When evaluating cults, which are basically just small religions, the best criteria is about how much they help their constituents and community vs how much do they demand from them. It’s worth noting that many of the cults of America’s past were more Christian branded and became gigantic, with some mix of outcomes. But the alternative of not allowing people to express the freedoms of religion and speech would be much worse in my opinion

We don’t, that’s what freedom of religion means. If it gets overly militant or political, then there are already mechanisms that come and raid and disband them, which we have seen many times in the history of America

Hawaii already doesn’t do DST … Since 1967

I think people need to chill the fuck out with this narrative. When the industrial revolution came, I’m sure everyone said “now the rich factory workers don’t need craftsmen anymore!!”. The world was fine, people still have jobs today. The jobs change. The market for software, for example, is nearly unlimited - you COULD fire some staff and do the same amount of stuff that you were doing, or you could DO MORE and expand the business

Snap is fine

What the fuck this is the best idea ever

Really, that’s still the case for wine in 2025? It runs most things very well, including 3D

There is SO MUCH shame in that, the pitiful noob wont even learn to RTFM, and then I’ll have no way to feel superior to them as I dip my beard into my off brand morning cereal #frostedfakes
