  • Eh, in my experience that’s not how development works. With every new tool to improve efficiency, the result is just more features rather than using your new found time to improve your code base.

    It’s not just from the publishers and shareholders either. Fixing technicial debt issues is hard, and the solutions often need a lot of time for retrospection. It’s far easier to add a crappy new feature ontop and call it a day. It’s the lower effort thing to do for everyone, management and the low down programmers alike.


  • I’m on a 2060 super with Manjaro and I haven’t had any issue with drivers other than when I accidently uninstalled all the drivers at once, and then it was just a matter of running a command found from googling to get it back up and running.

    I haven’t tried an AMD card, and I’m strongly considering it for my next, but I just haven’t seen you have a issues people report.



  • These are of course bad words, but it ignores words that have decreased in sensitivity as they’ve moved away from their original meaning. How much intent should we unknowingly accept from words we don’t know the origins of?

    The word “daft” used to be used as a term for someone “crazy” or “mad”. Nowerdays this has been socially softened to be used when someone makes a basic mistake.

    Lame used to be for someone physically impaired but now is used to denote something that’s uncool.

    And then if we wanna dive super deep into it and we look at a lot of high fantasy, the origins are possibly abhorant. Some species are believed to have been directly influenced by racial stereotypes in their formation.

    Should all high fantasy be destroyed because of this? Or have we socially evolved past using those comparisons as a way to separate each other in society?


  • There is valid performance based reasons to use an app over a browser based experience. Sure perhaps it’s just data collection, but being able to cache locally and have that information persistent between uses dramatically drops the initial page load time.

    But yeah, it’s annoying as hell to be bothered about it, and usually compromising the performance/load time is worth not having to go through the hassle of downloading an app.

    Edit: Seems like I was wrong. I remember reading about how in general native apps would make significantly fewer API calls than identical website based experiences, even with the user having navigated to the site before.
