For Google, nothing is too dumb! Not even joking. They’re absolute trash nowadays at almost everything they do, even for normal / startup standards.

This should 100% be illegal.

Either way, it’s pretty useful to communicate this to everyone else.

Context?

What community/ instance is that in?

Actually, buying a new electric car is better for the environment than keeping your current car.

Not when the planet and future generations are at stake.

Aside from even that, I rolled down my window this morning on my way to work to enjoy some fresh air and I got a big blast of toxic exhaust fumes. It’s literally poisoning the air around us. IMO people’s right to not breathe toxic fumes is more important than someone else’s right to drive a gas car just because they like it.

We aren’t there yet in terms of cost or electric charger availability, but once we are we should 100% ban gas cars.

I read this article the other day and tried working from my bed but couldn’t do it for more than maybe 15 mins.

What does this mean?

IMO the “stuck in their ways” isn’t about experience at all. It’s about good or bad devs. I’ve seen green devs stuck in their ways.

Sometimes managers or devs who don’t know any better think that knowing the right thing to do is the same as being inflexible, because they don’t understand the rationale since they aren’t experienced programmers.

You do realize that you can simultaneously make money on something and acknowledge it’s a piece of shit at the same time, right?

This is not mildly infuriating. This is just plain old infuriating.

Vermont can outlaw billboards across the state, but when it comes to everything digital, it seems like nothing’s safe. We cannot even check out email on a dedicated email client application without being subjected to ads, both in the form of spam emails, marketing lists, and now even ads from the program itself.

IMO the government should be stepping in to regulate where ads can be placed, just like Vermont did with billboards.

I’m sure they do, but I issue is they already were / should have been making a profit on the existing, bottom tier ad free plan. Now it’s just price gouging by adding ads to existing tier instead of adding new cheaper tier with ads.

The alternative is either:

1. Don’t watch the show / movie you wanted to - unacceptable sacrifice for a lot of people.
2. Break the law / pirate - some people really dislike this, or else are scared, or are not technically savvy enough to know how to or that it’s even an option.
3. Sometimes it’s too much trouble, like if you pirate a show you need to get subtitles in your own language and hope the times line up.

I agree it’s unacceptable for me, but I also get why so many people just put up with it.
