Yes, blame Germany.

No, most people aren't interested at all. They say it will nothing happen. Changed a little bit since Trump, but not enough to have really impact.

The idea is that some green ideologists think that when they don't need to drive a car because they don't leave their city, no one needs to drive a car. Because car driving creates CO2 which means car driving is bad. And they search for ways to implement that or make driving a car as bad as possible. Because they can't make the Deutsche Bahn better, they have to make driving your own car worse.

Working without 3 monitors or maybe a good tiled ultrawide feels just like digging a hole with a spoon. But I'm the type of developer that needs videos or music on the side that the work is not just boring enough to stop it. Has nothing todo with the work itself that I do. When it gets difficult I can press the pause button.

You don't make $50 per day? From where you are?

Sorry guy, this has nothing to do with professional software development :D

Not the software is the product, you know? The tokens are the product. Selling cheap subscriptions to power users costs them money. That are the customers you don't want, so why hesitate to get rid of them when they don't want to pay more?

krater23 — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 12:42:34 +0000

I don't want windows or linux, I want a OS where I don't notice that it's there. When I have to think about my OS, then the OS has a flaw. And currently nor Windows or Linux can deliver that anymore. Windows 7 after some customizations and Windows XP had this, but M$ destroyed it. Linux never had this and I don't expect that this will come in the future.

Linux is just no good option. Linux has it's own issues that make them unusable for people that don't want to put time and effort in their OS itself. Current example: Slidly incompatible unix tools, still not 100% complete, but rewritten in rust.

I stopped to read because I had the feel that the writer has no plan about what he was writing. It's completely bullshit. Software regenerating, changing Requirements in a product thats delivered and comes without source. Completely bullshit. When I now read here that it's AI, I'm happy to see that AI is still not capable of writing senseful texts.

Bullshit! You project isn't finished as long as there are obvious major bugs that you can't fix because you don't unterstand the code.

I'm security engineer too and when it really will come so far that I only review LLM code I refuse to do it for fewer than my doubled hourly rate.

There is fewer then 2% of code a copy of chardet. When the developer of chardet had done it without AI, whats then? He is trained on the same code too.

Please don't. I don't trust AI code when we talk about my filesystem and data.

In Germany we call this 'Beißreflex'. It's all good, when someone reimplements something in Rust, no one asks for the license, but as soon someone uses AI to reimplement something, the search for something to complain about begins.

Can't say anything about the US, but in Germany when more than one cities have the same zip code it's just not important because there is only one sorting center for all cities with the same zip and they just sort per street address.

He just doesn't understood that every country has his own zip codes. He just comes from the land of the free invention of units of measurement ;)

This already works on most shop systems in Germany. The OP just have to learn that zip codes aren't international. You can't know everything. Why this automation isn't implemented when you select USA as country...I don't know, but when you select Germany it works.

Maybe first start with using non subhuman units like meter and celsius, then learn that there are other countries than 'The United States of America' and then fix that with the zip codes. ;P

p.s.: Don't takt this too serious, have just a dark kind of humor.

Just thought about.

Who wins the most from a Wikipedia outage and has questionable moral views? The same who currently struggles to find paying customers for his services.

The large AI companies.
