<p>Yup, that's the way it has to be. And thanks to the autocomplete on steroids we call Ai nowadays it actually has become way easyier to do such a thing.</p>

<p>Didn't he just say that fork turns out to be comparatively faster to the non-fork samples we get? Ie Linux spawns processes faster than Microsoft's kernels?</p>

<p>I've stumbled upon that too! Funnily I see it having two forms:<p>1. Some bad idea gets embedded into the context that you just can't argue away<p>2. Some important idea gets lost in compression and the ai wheres off into funland without recourse.<p>In both cases if is often better to start over or just do it yourself. I sometimes find myself asking for a summary, editing it and then using the edited one to seed a new session.<p>Edit: s/Finland/funland/</p>

<p>Mostly with you, though in recent years I have wondered whether those people are part of what caused the latest boom of political populism. If there is no one there to debate the problematic ideas, problematic ideas will become the rhetoric after all.</p>

<p>I don't know whether Github is in trouble as an organization or whether there is a crowd just waiting for it to go down in flames and I don't care about that.<p>What I can attest to is that Github has been uncharacteristically flaky this past year. At least for large clients in the EU. Its not that there is outright downtime but if you have an Actions or PR invested team you probably have felt the uptick in troubleshooting these two features in the past 12 months.<p>And again, its not that these features go completely down, mostly its just "why is this status not being reported" or, "where is the run for this event?" And similar things. Its not that the roof fell off, its just that it is leaky and it rains and this distracts you from actually doing important things.</p>

<p>I'm totally onboard with k3s/k8s being better in a lot of cases.<p>But docker compose can actually be very sufficient for what many projects actually need.<p>Granted I am a guy pushing for compose based localdevs and such but going further you often just cannot beat the simplicity of doing update QA or other CI/CD workloads in compose based projects. I have had dozens of projects where we replaced flaky slow and maintenance heavy pipelines with just docker compose up --build --wait in the past years. How come you say health checks are still broken?</p>

<p>That link you shared in your other comment actually counters your "runs google blobs" argument.<p>Speech to text is afaik completely anonymized and if you care that much, it actually is possible to just not use it, rip it out or even replace it with something that runs locally in your home.<p>> hopelessly behind on Linux kernel versions<p>Can you substantiate that? Given that many OEMs still run linux 4 and 5 in their Flagship ROMs today, I'd like to see how open source does so much worse.</p>

<p>I can see the alure of having a very secure mobile device and can understand why you personally wouldn't see a reason to use anything else.<p>But Graphene requires too much fidling to get spouse approval.<p>/e/ might not be as secure as GrapheneOS but it is at least as secure as everything else. Plus it actively helps you preserve your privacy and use self hosted services.</p>

<p>How much user interaction is needed in the phone to make this happen nowadays? I havent used libimobiledevice in ages but I can remember that nm the past in order to get everything your phone would need to request an icloud backup (as most data lived there and not on the device back then) and often the process would just stall if the phone fell asleep.<p>The lack of selfhosting support on iPhones is the main reason why I'm on android.</p>

<p>I see a lot of this sentiment amongst developer friends but I never could relate. Its not that I'm against it or something but it just doesn't move me personally.<p>Most things I create in my free time are for my and my family's consumption and typically benefit immensely from the write once run everywhere nature of the web.<p>You can launch a small toy app on your intranet and run it from everywhere instantly. And typically these things are also much easier to interconnect.</p>

<p>Are you talking about the "engineer talked to a customer and now both are mad at each other" trope?<p>While I have seen this happening it usually has nothing to do with engineers and more with that fact that talking to customers and identifying requirements is a task that requires respect and practice to become good at. Procentually I've seen more junior MBAs alienate customers than I have engineers seen do it.</p>
