No, which is why many of us opposed the Patriot Act during the Bush era.

The question “what about a future administration that could abuse this level of access” wasn’t just a rhetorical one, it was prescient and timely.

The party of small government at it again.

Well, you certainly can complain about it and still use it, when your livelihood requires you to either use the tech, or get left behind by those who do. Speed and turnaround time wins over skill and quality.

I’ve tried this on personal projects, but not work projects.

My verdict:

1. To be a good vibe coder, one must first be a good coder.

2. Vibe coding is faster to draft up and POC, longer to debug and polish. Not as much time savings as one might think.

What’s the best Spotify alternative?

The worst part about this is the lack of explanation.

Even if I personally disagreed with their reasoning, I’d appreciate a thought-out, sensible reason, and most likely accept it.

But they’re not even giving you the common courtesy or respect that a simple, clear reason would provide (i.e., “we don’t allow registrations from .io domains, because we see too much hacker shit from that TLD.” Or any explanation, really, would suffice).

“Just because” never sits well with me.

If we could somehow cure Cluster B Personality Disorders, 95% of humanity’s problems would disappear overnight.

It’s just the perennial Problem of Evil, but with modern psychological terminology.

Same shit, different day.

We don’t want pentagon officials to be handsome for television.

We want them to be competent.

The the age old Problem of Evil.

If we could somehow figure out how to cure Cluster B Personality Disorders, 90% of humanity’s problems would disappear overnight.

Ok.

But, in Mac OS, Windows, and Linux, all three of which I work in regularly, I open up a terminal and type stuff in it, open up applications in windows and work in them, and copy and paste between them.

Really, any DE can handle this stuff. Not sure what all the fuss is about otherwise. But it’s all good.

It’s wild to me how GNOME evokes such strong opinions in folks. It really is a love it or hate it kind of deal (I’m in the “love it” camp).

I wonder why that is. I like KDE ok, but it doesn’t elicit a strong emotion from me. KDE works fine, I just really like GNOME.

There must be something about GNOME in particular that some people love, and others hate.
