what else would i be talking about

I’m a programmer. I was expecting languages, OS, open-source, APIs, file formats. What we have been calling “stacks” for the past 30 years but which has been hijacked by web devs.

You tell me. What is a Google stack? What is a Microsoft stack? The other guy was talking about a “tech stack” which practically means nothing.

It’s a great combo between 1984 and “this place is fucking boring.”

They could have left 10 year ago. They didn’t and never will.

That’s worse. If someone was telling me about “google or microsoft stacks” without explaining what it is, I would laugh.

Are you talking about OS, mobile OS, GUI, web, SaaS, APIs, services, subscriptions, servers, cloud, VMs, …? What the fuck is a stack? Stack is a term that has been stolen by web devs and means nothing anymore.

They should collaborate with IBM, they know how to handle that kind of thing.

IMHO islamophobia is a trend that people tend to use to shut people up. They also forget that France has been regularly attacked by muslim terrorists since the 80s/90s. All the muslims I know don’t care about that crap and they live their lives like everyone else. You wouldn’t even know they are muslims.

It is the new generation that is offended every five minutes because, for some reason, France don’t like seeing traditional religious clothes from the middle ages all over the place, which comes from the catholic church that ruled with an iron fist until the revolution (and for an additional century from French people who were still deep into the sadistic teachings of the church).

Firefox is the kind of software where I would gladly pay $10 a month to support its development.

Dismantle Mozilla, give the money to Firefox, profit.

I can’t find it anymore but they had the same experiment around 2015 I guess. If you upvoted too many trolls or far-right people, you could be punished for this. The idea is not new.

Which is one more stupid thing from Mozilla. Imagine if, 10 years ago, they had made a combo of: Firefox, Thunderbird, email hosting, maybe some kind of online office thing and a drive, Sync… That could have been the ultimate productivity package for “Office” stuff inside one convenient subscription.

Instead we now have Office 365, Google Docs, and nothing more.

It’s weird because I remember Reddit implementing that maybe ten years ago. If someone can confirm.

Why don’t you, I mean, I know it’s gonna be hard for you but, eat food from other countries or local food?

I’ve been boycotting Starbucks for 10 years because it’s shit coffee, and McDonalds for 30 years because it’s shit food.

What kind of stack are you thinking of?

People decided it was a new N-word because it was a medical term a few centuries ago. I don’t understand it either.

It’s a good algorithm but if you need to decode any message, you must get drunk and listen to creepy radio stations at 1AM in the forest or something.

Growing children will learn how to tell if an image is ai generated

lol. People thought the same crap with computers and smartphones. We would be surrounded by computer geniuses because they had technology. The result is that they don’t even know what a directory is.

And with AI thinking for them, they’ll be even dumber.

Where do you stop and why 50+?

Why not “let’s ban Harry Potter from young people because they think it’s real.”

You don’t believe in personal responsibility? Even dictatorships have fairy tales.

As for fake news, they are already illegal but young people consume them as much as old people.

In the same topic: anyone that believes Instagram stories are real should be banned from the internet?

I wonder where you draw the line.

I like it when the only useful piece of information is missing: https://github.com/electronicarts

The resources are missing but you could already have those everywhere else on the internet.
