Are you seriously suggesting that someone with Google listed on their resume would have a hard time finding a job?? Pathetic.

I have the same feeling and I use evil-mode in Emacs because of that. It's basically Vim inside of Emacs.

It doesn't matter how much money you have if you can't spend it.

And get sued by Amazon while they're at it?

Wrong. Politics will fuck with you regardless.

But they did it. Buying, installing, and updating the game is incredibly easy. That’s exactly why I haven’t downloaded pirated games for at least 15 years.

> completely unnecessary parts that are somehow still the cultural norm (eg. signatures)

I don't even know where to start. Long story short: you're wrong.

I do this all the time in Emacs, which runs on an old computer and handles it quickly. None of the tasks on this list require significant CPU resources.

> all doctors in America

Not even close. Doctors are doing work that benefits society, despite all the system’s flaws. Meta employees are destroying the world while collecting a paycheck. Don’t pretend you don’t see the difference. Working at Meta in 2026 is the same as working at a sarin gas factory.

I love comments like this here. Just trolling for the sake of trolling, paragraph after paragraph. The fact that _some_ Meta employees earn less than $100,000 a year is completely irrelevant to this whole discussion.

There's nothing interesting about that. Just depressing.

I think it would make perfect sense to print another photo in 10 years and stop giving us a hard time with this ridiculous argument.

I don't think Fogejo offers CI/CD out of the box, for starters.

Why do you think this analogy is even remotely correct? It’s well-known that LLMs produce non-deterministic results. It’s also well-known that they hallucinate. To make it even clearer, all the top LLM players make sure to remind everyone of that behavior. If calculators had similar effects and warnings, it would have been a valid analogy. Instead, you're comparing apples and oranges.

Yeah sure :) People working in one of the most privileged professions on Earth are bound hand and foot with golden shackles and are forced - literally forced - to continue spreading evil throughout the world in order to keep their salaries of several hundred thousand dollars. The horror!

> FWIW nobody's performance here will improve from having this metric

It's even more frightening if so. Meaning you really thought it's something users wanted.

No, it's fine. I really hope that more people will switch to something else, like Neovim, Emacs, or any other open-source editor where such unacceptable situations are practically impossible. I hope more people will start to value their privacy and right to choose, and find the courage to say gtfo and switch to something else. Because this is unforgivable.
