Have you seen current laptop prices? It’s wack.

Seems lowering our standards has been in the news a lot lately.

No worries. They’ll just ship a development version to your machine and see what happens. That should be a good enough test.

It’s the same as speaking out against Facebook or TikTok practices but not supporting consumer protection.

It’s lip service! They don’t actually disagree with anything that Flock is doing. They’re hoping that dumb voters will confuse their concerns with Flock (getting caught) for their actual positions (dystopian surveillance state), something grossly unpopular if people actually voted.

I personally know plenty who are dumb enough to believe that these people have their interests at heart. It works, and that’s why they do it. Politicians see Flock as a sinking ship. They see an opportunity to deflect and distract from their own nefarious goals. Flock goes down in the medium-term while they wait with open arms for the next generation of tools that they will use to crush dissent and make you afraid to leave your own house.

Indeed. He’s secretive and staunchly anti-transparency.

He’s firmly in the pocket of corporatism.

Good point! Good point.

I’ve seen bubble sort implemented because we had data that said it was faster and was slightly smaller for the exact type data we were sorting and its expected distribution.

A great first step to combating the tide of stupid should include being able to call out dumbass questions.

It really depends on what you’re building. In an embedded shop, lookup tables are first class solutions to most problems. Computer scientists though, 100%!

I thought lying was his job.

Best I can do is a Hooters but for foreheads.

I don’t understand what the plan is. Becoming irrelevant and making it hard for users to access your site sounds like a losing play.

Why’d they bring two phones?

Please do not call these devices license plate readers. They are surveillance tools with capabilities that far exceed that of normal license plate reading devices. It’s like calling an RPG a spear.

I will continue to enjoy my incredibly straightforward and to the point Linux desktop that’s somehow gained a new AI-free feature by doing nothing.
