Me and my 9 disembodied heads judging people that don’t learn an adhoc functional programming language solely so they can run Linux

But how would they rake in profits? These people are only paying $200/month at most, and OpenAI has already said they’re losing money on Pro subscribers due to the cost of running those models. I don’t see how OpenAI is going to become profitable off the consumer market alone, which means they have to focus on the business market. These AI addicts are a dangerous distraction to them, because not only are they losing money the more that susbscribe, but they’re also getting bad publicity and attracting attention from regulators. That could scare off their actual cash cows (enterprise companies).

NixOS is a dangerous drug, but at least it’s a drug without side effects, since Nix is purely functional.

I remember when Steam came out and everyone hated it because of how slow and buggy it was. Crazy how times have changed.

I don’t not use Arch, by the way

Perfect companion to somebody with resting bitch face.

Harris will be able to serve two terms. The 22nd amendment says:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once

The second clause applies to vice presidents taking over, but since there’s less than two years left in Biden’s term, it won’t come into effect.

It depends on the role. My first job was doing manual QE on Windows, and knowing Linux wasn’t much help at the time, but it did help me transition to a coding role in the same company a year later. I’m now doing platform engineering at a major tech company, but that has a high barrier to entry, which I suspect is the case for most roles that are Linux-focused. If you’re trying to get your foot in the door, I think you should look at job profiles for low barrier to entry roles (e.g. tech support) and try to work your way up.

Probably because the individual engineers working on Takeout care about doing a good job, even though the higher-ups would prefer something half-assed. I work for a major tech company and I’ve been in that same situation before, e.g. when I was working on GDPR compliance. I read the GDPR and tried hard to comply with the spirit of the law, but it was abundantly clear everyone above me hadn’t read it and only cared about doing the bare minimum.

There’s no financial incentive for them to make is easy to leave Google. Takeout only exists to comply with regulations (e.g. digital markets act), and as usual, they’re doing the bare minimum to not get sued.
