The products I’ve paid for and enjoyed for years usually become worse when businesses feel they need to spend more of their resources on b2b.

Basically, enshittification.

If I didn't want others to use my code or make money with it, I wouldn't have gone open source in the first place

I'd rather use an AWS service with an open source core than a closed-source service.

I guess it’s just a problem with the people who work in software engineering. You won’t use anything closed source, but also don’t care if other engineer’s valuable open-source tools are hijacked by companies with billions in resources.

Basically, you want to have your cake and eat it too.

Well, this is concerning.

This.

ALL OF THIS IS A NON ISSUE. All. Of. It.

These people won’t take one ounce of responsibility and not buy the damn thing.

Your thoughts regarding open source are borderline irrational when places like Amazon will copy and paste your repository and start making billions off of it.

I genuinely think Apple wanted this to be relatively unpalatable to the typical consumer.

You’re starting to hit on Apple’s strategy. Build something expensive and impressive, get all the media hype out of it with influencers making content and consumers watching it cause it’s the expensive thing.

Then it comes down in price over 10 years and soon everybody has one, because everyone wants to try to Apple thing they saw so much about years ago.

iPad went exactly the same way, as everyone wrote it off when first introduced as just “a large iPod touch”, and now it’s the defacto leader in the category without anything coming close.

Industry helps everyone.

Private jets are so the rich can avoid the peasants. There’s no benefit for 99.99% of the rest of the world.

And we’re told we need to be conscious of the plastic bags we’re using at the grocery to fight pollution.

We’re a drop in the ocean compared to these people.

Grades inform potential employers where a student's strengths and weaknesses are.

I graduated in 2016 and never once had an employer concerned about my grades. It would be a red flag if I had.

Half my time in college was spent working in the dining center cleaning dishes to help pay for my education. I didn’t have the luxury of studying as much as others did.

Obese and gluttonous society gets a drug to let them consume more without consequences. Can’t go wrong, surely.

I have a hard time figuring out how those in the health insurance industry get sleep at night.

In my personal experience I’ve found stand ups are incredibly easy to sidetrack. One dev starts going into too much detail about a troublesome aspect of their ticket instead of simply stating what the problem is and then organizing a time after the standup to meet with the colleague best suited to assist.

Standups shouldn’t be a rubber duck session with the entire team.

Scandinavian system is completely incompatible with US population numbers and economic realities for the US. Their total population is less than 39 million, while the US has 10x that.

You forgot some of the headline

Be gentle with the Apple Vision Pro - ITS PLASTIC!!!

Clickbait-territory.

Because it hurts EU customers by not applying the rules worldwide.

It’s an entirely expected outcome for wanting to enact one-of-a-kind laws that force a foreign company into doing something they’ve obviously wanted to avoid.

It’s not slavery when the human has done things that society deemed bad enough to lose their rights for however long the sentence is.

I have no idea how something like this can even happen. In a company of that size it should be actually impossible for a transaction like this to occur without clearly documented processes to ingest, review, authorise and pay transactions.

After having worked IT for various startups I cannot understate just how much executives and other higher ups detest policies that make them verify who they are. It short circuits something with their ego.

Unfortunately this ship has sailed. The job market is broken right now for software engineers and it’s far easier to use AI to apply to a hundred jobs in the of hopes one gets backs to you instead of 5 handcrafted applications per day that have tailored responses.

Adding EVs to the market seems to be a net negative for electricity use. Can you say the same for your imaginary coin machines?

Does it matter? Crypto, arguably useless to 99.9% of US citizens is ~~using~~ wasting 2% of all energy.

Humanity in a couple hundred years will look back and deem us worse than the barbarians that came before us.

If it really was so easy then don’t you think every country would have their own ASML?

The economic incentives are there. They’ve BEEN there for decades. To think China doesn’t have an equivalent just because they haven’t cared enough yet is laughable.

but are you really sure he's still going to be a danger in 10 years? Or 20 years?

Nobody knows, but the person lost the chance for society to give them the benefit of the doubt.

They know it’s wrong. They did it HUNDREDS OF TIMES.

Society being unable to self-regulate and deal with problem people like this is a purely modern issue. I hope we find a solution because, otherwise, I don’t see how things stay together.

I’d be okay with the book being thrown at this teenager. Hopefully set an example to discourage others from doing the same.

In a lot of ways censorship here is worse than other places due to the weirdly attributed trust given towards HN members who think of themselves as enlightened intellectuals.

For example, try to post something pro Apple, or even try to play devils advocate. Your comment will be flagged within minutes.

Nostr is everything that fediverse social networks claim to be, but aren’t.

I was shocked to find out that the Lemmy instance I signed up on was blocking dozens upon dozens of other instances, which defeats the entire purpose of a federated network.

What is the point of necroing a 3 year old tweet when there isn’t anything new added to the story?

My best friend’s brother in law recently paid a CDL mill to get a license. Took him less than a month.

Miss me with the demanded respect for an industry that will be replaced in a couple decades.
