Thanks @sir for the nice write-up!

I have single-handedly brought a discord server into the dark ages by saying that i don't like the WeRateDogs account for its surgical and formulaic attitude

Please... stop making smartphones thinner... I just want longer battery life... I beg of you please...

It really bothers me to my core when:

1) I see someone complaining about a language that they don't understand,

2) it must therefore be a bad language that should never be used by anyone ever,

3) and when informed of the point behind the language in non-judgemental terms, I'm suddenly judged as being part of some cabal intent on programmer conversion therapy or something.

Fuck that shit.

@vertigo Languages-as-tribes replacing languages-as-tools is the worst part of noob-dominated programmer culture.

Got an email from AT&T today with a subject line of "What's better than 1 new iPhone?"

Zero, zero new iPhones.

@schestowitz And what they do open source, you'll still have to use the W10 system just like how Visual Basic is with making Linux programs. It read wouldn't shock me in the least if "people demanding more open source blah blah blah" is just Micro$oft paying off people instead of taking responsibility with legitimate advertising.

@schestowitz "Open source" for a CEO is the same as "organic vegan kosher tomato" is to a hipster. They're marketable trigger words. Microsoft just spent $7.5 billion dollars on acquiring GitHub. They want to become synonymous with "Open Source" instead of Linux. This way, they can sell more service-based, web dependent software without actually having to change much. They're hoping to get the idea of good intention across without actually following through and hope no one notices.

Giant ISPs like AT&T and Comcast have been working overtime to gut California's #NetNeutrality bill. They got their wishβ€”but the fight isn't over yet. eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/ramp
