I really disagree with your first sentence. A few of the icons are obvious, but most are extremely vague. I actually use a Mac every day at work and I can’t tell you what half of these icons are for (I guess I don’t use them). For example the rocket icon, the book (is it a reader or a dictionary or what?), Safari’s icon looks like a map app since it’s a compass.

I don’t know what the history/clock icon is for and the app store icon is just terrible, and has even fewer context clues in languages where the word “app” doesn’t start with a Latin A character.

Icons rely on all kinds of assumptions and cultural cues. They might as well be hieroglyphics to people who aren’t familiar with them, which is why they need to come with labels or tooltips.

Gnu, Firefox, and gcc are not terrible

Ads are the main reason for all the junk though.

Aha asks for Ruby on rails experience in their job listings, so they must be using it as well

It makes sense from a pure UX perspective. But of course the real goal of GitHub is to make money, and their paying customers are mostly corporate entities using it for enterprise development. Unless those companies decide that a download button/better release feature is desirable, it’s not likely to happen.

Most corporations tie GitHub into their own build system so such a feature isn’t likely to be considered useful. They pay for GitHub to reduce development costs, which is why GitHub spends so much effort on analytics and the dev experience instead of open source/public users.

Since when did the CIA assassinate white conservative leaders? What a delusional comment. Most of the people in the CIA are Trump cultists. They won’t do shit to Trump no matter what decisions he makes. He already spent his last term undermining nato and other institutions, and nothing happened to him.

Always have to laugh at the tankies who act like Russia and China are the good guys somehow, in spite of all their very obvious imperialism and despotism. The US Russia and China are all the same thing, a bunch of rich fucks looking out for themselves.

Ubuntu resets my default audio every time I put it to sleep. I have no idea why, other distros didn’t do this. Sometimes it fails to detect the speakers on my laptop completely.

I’ve found Ubuntu to need a lot less effort than other distros so I’m not planning to ditch it yet, but even Ubuntu still has weird quirks like this.

Also, some apps fail to open in x11 for some reason so I have to switch to a Wayland session every now and then. And then switch back to x11 because other apps won’t open in Wayland.

Linux always has some weird usability issue no matter how many distros I’ve tried. It’s getting a lot better but it’s not there yet.

TDD is not appropriate for everything or everyone

Node isn’t a language though.

Yeah, shitty poetry and entirely unoriginal artwork. I don’t know what your deal is but there’s a hell of a lot more to consciousness and the human brain than that and current AI tech doesn’t even come close to it.

None of the AI technology we have now even comes close to human intelligence

Catholicism requires about a year of studying to convert or you won’t be allowed to take sacraments. Although in reality no one is really checking and you could theoretically fake your way through it.

No one said Firefox sucks

How would you keep the life vests under the door in an ocean?

AIs are not humans my dude. I don’t know why people keep using this argument. They specifically designed this thing to scrape copyrighted material, it’s not like an artist who was just inspired by something.

Slowroll is experimental and it’s still a rolling release that tracks tumbleweed. It might be less maintenance, but not necessarily more stable in terms of bugs. I’ve seen some people report pretty major issues with it in the last couple months.

Leap is the version you want if stability is your priority. You can even get the tumbleweed nvidia driver if you have an Nvidia card and want the latest driver. The only os I’ve used that was more stable than leap was debian. But Leap is much more flexible than Debian.

These asshole CEOs need to be put in their place. I wish tech workers would fucking unionize already. The Democrats will never help anyone with labor issues.

Yeah that’s why any reasonable hard sci-fi has to rely on highly advanced fusion or speculative energy technologies

That’s true in a vacuum, but a weapon would presumably detonate on the surface or inside of a hostile ship, in which case the ship goes bye-bye.
