times like these, I feel pretty shitty about how the world and I have condemned my kids to suffer the water wars in a handful of years

It’s funny that it doesn’t have a headphone jack but it clearly has a little notch in the center where those usually go
Naw, no hate. iPods are fuckin rad. Younger generations should definitely get to enjoy older tech. But the author’s observations weren’t really anything I needed to invest my time in reading. I know old iTunes had a visualizer. I don’t know why I read the whole thing anyways
Why did I just read an article about using an iPod that was clearly written by someone born in the early-mid 2000s? I know the original ipod was fun. I was there, gandalf
Say the line, Bart!
I didn’t start playing BG3 ‘til October, but it’s all I’ve played since then and I have not looked back
Oh no, you’re breaking my heart /s
This article says the deck struggles to run baldur’s gate 3, but it runs fine for me other than eating through the battery (to be expected) so I’m a little doubtful that Alan Wake doesn’t work that well
This is the one
I hope my kids get a full, long life before the water wars begin. I do my part where I can, but I’ll never have the footprint that some big billion dollar corporation can affect. The oligarchy and their absolute zero interest in preventing a climate disaster has fucked us all.

Better to stay put, accept slightly less money for another year and look at it again when I’ve got the time and energy to cope with it.
but Watch Out
Seriously, though, this is hitting the nail on the head. That dangling carrot of job security can be so exploitative when there’s so many unknowns (many of them confidence-based in a dev’s situation). I’ve heard that little evil voice (recently) telling me “yeah, you could probably go back to physical labor when you can’t find any more work as a dev. you’ll do okay out there”
I work hard for my company. But paying me raises to deal with inflation? Rewarding my efforts and loyalty? Why bother when they can just hold out and pay my identical wage to someone greener and less jaded in a couple short years?
I mean, I would prefer to stay at the same place than hopping around, but I’ve never gotten a raise that pays as good as a new job at a different company
/* 2006-10-31: The default prefix used to be “sqlite_”. But then Mcafee started using SQLite in their anti-virus product and it started putting files with the “sqlite” name in the c:/temp folder. This annoyed many windows users. Those users would then do a Google search for “sqlite”, find the telephone numbers of the developers and call to wake them up at night and complain. For this reason, the default name prefix is changed to be “sqlite” spelled backwards. So the temp files are still identified, but anybody smart enough to figure out the code is also likely smart enough to know that calling the developer will not help get rid of the file. */
Lemmy (hopefully) fits the bill for this type of solution. Though it still sucks that we have to burn Alexandria again to depart in that direction
Makes sense. Good for discussion too, if nothing else
This is unpopular? I guess I’m unpopular with you. Buttons are absolutely indiscriminately superior to touchscreens for most uses. Autocorrect is the bane of my existence. I think touchscreens only have the edge as far as the physical space they (dynamically) require
I don’t know if they’re all bastards, but HR is absolutely not your friend. Human Resources <> protections for employees. Instead, Human Resources = protection for the company
