Everybody hating on Java being the de facto language every student learns first (at least back when I was in university) but I think it's actually a great first language while I don't think python is for one simple reason: it has types but tries to hide them from you. It is soooo important to understand types early though.

Why would one though? All the bots are on Twitter now because in order to fight Bots, Elon encouraged massive abuse of bots and ChatGPT with his new monetization scheme that earns you money the more impressions and engagement you get on your posts.

True. To me, Lemmy feels somewhat more like the old vBulletin forums I used to browse 15 years ago.

I think it all depends on how good our tools to detect AI generated content become. If it is not distinguishable, then the internet is probably about to be flooded by AI generated content which in turn means AI is going to be trained more and more with AI content, degrading the model in the process.

I don't think the motivation matters. They will just spin it in any way they think it will benefit them.

Not from the US and I don't understand why one would support a candidate just because he survived an assassination attempt. Can somebody explain the logic behind this?

Ah yes, this year is definitely the year of the Linux desktop. For real this time!

How is this going to end?

Google blocks access to it's services for Firefox altogether? Maybe even ban it from the Play Store? That would finally give me a real incentive to install some CFW.

Nothing, really. I've just used VSCode for so long and would have liked to have one "IDE" for everything.

I love Kotlin (self.programming)

...but I hate that you can practically only use it with IntelliJ. Trying to use it with just Gradle and vscode is such a pain and maybe even impossible to get anything more than basic syntax highlighting. That is all.

I use Kubuntu in mostly default configuration. Am I special or a normie?

Good tech podcasts (self.technology)
 

What are some good tech related podcasts you can recommend? I've listened a lot to Darknet Diaries but lately, I've found it to become less and less interesting as he mostly just interviews some pentesters.

My current role includes a lot of DevOps and infrastructure on AWS and some software development. Bonus points if the podcast focuses on that but I'll check out everything tech related you can recommend.
