You can be a perfectly good dev and not enjoy working in the cli, especially when there are good enough alternatives

Customers get charged for maintenance between the ISP and their house

They really don’t, customers get charged what they need to be charged to support the network, not just the last mile to your house. Companies don’t get internet connectivity for free, either, paying significantly more than consumers at every turn

That’s… why they charge customers fees

I think until anyone in government sees consequences of their actions then nothing will change. If it’s used against them, maybe they’ll help legislate against it

I’d say luck will sometimes make you rich, and being good at what you do will sometimes make you rich. Being good at what you do and also lucky has more of a chance of making you rich

It’s *usually not entirely luck, you generally have to sort of know what you’re doing

Nope, it’s illegal in the US. File a complaint with the FTC and they’ll look into it.

I’m almost certain it is

So being recommended videos is bad now? Dam

I’ve found it great for tracking down specific things in libraries and databases I’m not terribly familiar with when I don’t know the exact term for them

It’s more user friendly in a thousand minor ways, such as installing programs, which makes it much more user friendly overall. At least MacOS has a consistent UI that doesn’t massively change every single update

Ah yes, I love WSL deciding to consume 12 of my 16gb of memory

They’re significantly better than windows, and you could make an argument on the stability front compared to Linux

Gotta disagree, the gestures are actually amazing. Only pain point is gaming, but I don’t really do that, and the dev experience is pretty good compared to windows too. Installing programs is as easy as it should be on windows. Fuck msi installers

That’s kinda the point

Oh man, the absolute horror of being told about new features! The absolute abject tragedy!

It was probably shown to you in a banner that looked like an ad that you closed out /s

I mean, I like being told about new features rather than needing to discover them myself twenty months after they came into existence

Not exactly, since the IRS provides tons of credits and deductions for things that aren’t inherently trackable, like credits for upgrading your home to be more “green,” asset depreciation, or any other of the thousand random things they incentivize

You can’t turn them into accomodations unless there’s at least one egress window in the bedrooms
