They shouldn't trust him because he is a liar and a manipulator, and a charming, effective one, like all sociopaths.

He literally goes out there and talks to the crowd thinking they are idiots, because he can just make them think whatever he wants.

And they are. That's why I'm wondering why they don't learn. There must be something inside them that makes them want to be betrayed. Kind of like a relationship where you know you will get hurt but you do it anyway because you think that's what you deserve. Maybe? I really don't understand it.

I think it's the same echo chamber here, but it's smaller. People block instances they don't like, and are in favor of moderators removing controversial things, specially around communism and tankies.

I just like that it's not run by big tech. Just discussions, no companies or ads. I think most users are tech people.

Why do people still trust this guy?

This may surprise you, but in Lua!

I used to be a big user of neovim and heavily into plugins and messing with my configs, and lua is the language built into neovim for doing things like that.

One of my neovim plugins had annoying bugs due to evolving to support more and more features, and it was time for a rewrite to make it all clean again.

Lots of programming actually. Rewrote a thing from scratch and now it's so much better. Feels good. :)

I don't know. People in the west dont seem to understand they also listen to propaganda every single day. But they think it's just happening in Russia or China.

Future robots will make a joke before they shoot you in the head for resisting arrest. What's not to like?

Oh really? Let's calculate the power usage or billions of devices downloading and serving ads.

People should be talking about void. Such bullshit. :p

Why do Microsoft have to welcome people to their software? Is it because they otherwise wouldn't feel welcome using it? :P

I thought they let you use the version you used when you started subscribing, not then you ended the subscription? This was something a lot of people were upset about. That if you subscribe for a year and stop, you end up with a year old version.

Problem is that companies are using them for all scenarios. It's often their entire tech stack now, with kubernetes.

It's similar to the object oriented hype that came before it, where developers had to write all their programs in a way so they could be extended and prepared for any future changes.

Everything became complex and difficult to work with. And almost none of those programs were ever extended in any significant way where object oriented design made it easier. On the contrary, it made it far more difficult to understand the program since you had to know which method was called in which object due to polymorphism when you looked at the code. You had to jump around like crazy to see what code was actually running.

Now with kubernetes, it's all about making the programs easier to scale and easier to develop for the developers, but it shifts the complexity to the infrastructure needed to support the networking requirements.

All these programs now need to talk over the network instead of simply communicating in the same process. And with that you have to think about failure scenarios, out of order communication, missing messages, separate databases and data storage for different services etc.
