It was a garbage search engine, but a memorable one from the early web nonetheless.

It’s propaganda, just like everything nowadays.

I didn’t say they were exonerating Apple. I was specifically pointing to their argument regarding Apple bearing the server costs. For macOS, sure, that’s valid. But for iOS, Apple is forcing those costs on themselves by keeping a closed system.

Also, Google is not locking down apps from outside the store. I still run the f-droid store just fine. Issuing a warning about installing unknown apps is hardly “locking it down.” For people not knowing what they’re doing, I think giving them a warning that APKs from third party sources could be dangerous is absolutely fine. That being said, Google could easily create or at least facilitate a APK signing service for third parties so that the warning wouldn’t appear for APKs that aren’t from shady sites.

I think I just poorly framed and articulated my response. No need to be so hostile and telling me to, “get it together.” This is supposed to be a casual discussion, not some heated argument.

Your argument would be valid if Apple allowed any other app marketplace on iOS. They force all apps to use their app store. That’s the definition of anticompetitive behavior. Apple wants to force everyone to use their app store and get a cut of all their transactions, that’s some corporate mafia extortion shit.

Epic sucks, but Apple is/was completely in the wrong there. Google is at least less guilty, as you can still install apps from outside the Google app store on android.

I’m guessing it impacted some people for there to be a Hacker News (a fairly respectable news outlet) article about it. I was just listening earlier today and didn’t have any ads. Same with my wife on her account (family plan).

Edit: wow, I’m a dumbass. Nevermind.

But yeah, I still haven’t had any ads after listening all evening while cooking dinner and what kt.

I’m confused why you linked a Wiki article that reiterates almost exactly what I said? Think the only difference is that it was originally coined by the dude who helped start OpenAI.

And no, most major dev teams aren’t “vibe coding,” but that’s where it becomes a meme. People use it as an insult as well for shit code.

Regardless, your main argument here that “real devs aren’t vibe coding,” is irrelevant, as the people in the original article don’t seem to be competent devs. It’s very possible they used AI-slop code; but, even if they didn’t, they did a piss-poor job so it might as well be insulted as such.

We’ve had failing infrastructure for… Idk… Like 40+ years now? The wealth class gives zero fucks, it isn’t impacting their homes or neighborhoods. Yet… We keep voting them in as their literal shit floods our homes.

I view this as Naval commanders looking out for their personnel. Why would they risk escorting commercial activities if they’re not directly ordered to? That isn’t their primary mission/objective. The war is completely stupid and the vast majority of people do not want to be involved, but the US and Israeli billionaires are insisting to poke the hornets nest. That doesn’t mean commanders on the ground/water want to put their lives on the line for what’s an obvious bullshit conflict designed to enrich said billionaires.

The vibe coding thing is a meme that originated in what devs at Microsoft said about how they develop while using AI, if I recall correctly. So vibe-coding has become synonymous with using AI to write the majority of your code.

Even if they do, don’t be a dumbass and have your phone on you and be completely covered and approach the device via analogue method (e.g. walking, bicycle without a serial, etc).

I was going to say, I thought open source 3D Printer designs/kits have been a thing for awhile. My friend just built his own last year using his original 3D printer to help in the process, lol

They’ll do anything but adopt firearm laws that are relevant and sensible.

Jfc, that still hasn’t been shut down?? Fuckin’ hell. Illinois corruption never changes.

Yeah, I was quite drunk last night. You’re 100% right that in this context, soldiers would have the ability to disobey these types of unlawful orders under the UCMJ.

I don’t think it’s so black and white. A lot of those soldiers are barely surviving and their money feeds their kids. Enlisted don’t have the luxury of disobeying orders blindly, that law is applicable to the officers issuing them.

Having said that, as a vet, I would do malicious incompetence and sabotage our mission in “incompetent” ways as much as possible. Also, I would never open fire on innocent civilians no matter what.

“Securtity” typo is pretty funny, like it’s some special bra brand that keeps someone’s boobs nice and secure.

I mean, it is still ironic regardless of that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if google/YouTube just bans all VPN IPs. They already make you sign in lately if your IP range has been “shadow banned.”

So it makes it okay for a foreign country to invade them without just cause?
