My boss legit says that he will give me some time to work on it every 2-3 months and then drops a “customer requires X feature and I promised that we will deliver in one week”. And mind you we have to patch up to 3 major versions in the past to back port the new feature because client haven’t upgraded and won’t in near future… which means sometimes our major releases are 60-70% same as our minor patches for old versions. Semvering much?

In the universe with 20-30% of actual inflation development costs will always rise even for indie because devs have to eat something and live somewhere. Not to mention software licensing and equipment

Great core gameplay, multiple boring or just bad patches; devs who care more about their imaginary milsim being close to their imaginary reality than about player fun; slow content rollout (still no new race despite them being leaked many months ago)

In the end I had my fair share of fun but I see no real reason to come back.

That’s pretty much the main reason I migrated to proton pass… was bugging me for a year I think

Worth to note that their audio quality and anc is worse than competition noticeably. So its quality vs environment

Yes its one time for android, if you’re earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there’s also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you’re just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well

From the perspective of FOSS developer:

I simply don’t want to pay €100 every single year to Tim Apple to make a free hobby app.

Android has more ways to distribute, and the “official” way is one time €25 fee and that’s it.

or else they will block it in norway

More than that, I never saw political or controversial “influencer” content on YouTube at all. It’s mostly tech reviews, memes, travel and photography videos, just exactly what I watch.

Algorithms are so good these days it’s kinda funny to see someone being angry about being offered to watch the same stuff they usually watch

Tech related stuff and old memes*

Not like you can’t access their community anymore

I wonder how many people will be ok with this, considering that there’s a large portion of folks who does not know what’s AdBlock

Telegram with my gf and family, discord with friends. Fb messenger is awful to say the least

Isn’t its everywhere in the world right now? Economic system is rigged towards the elites and thats what we have to deal with

It’s not like corporations produce greenhouse gasses because they think it’s fun.

I think we can agree on that corporations are aimed at cheapest way to produce most popular goods at the biggest scale they can achieve for, in the end, produce the biggest possible profit. Thats what corporations are made for: money.

In the end, rich guy gets a yacht, bunker for apocalypse and private residence with AC, private kitchen stuff and anything they want so he will be fine even if its 60C outside. If it will get unbearable, they’ll move to something like Norway and will be fine.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people who live in hot countries will die and millions will be climate refugees.

All that, because producing iphone with coal electricity (simplification, albeit I feel like its close to truth) is 10$ cheaper.

Blaming corporations, even if partially accurate, doesn’t actually get us any closer to solving things.

Swapping to paper bags will not help either. There are only two options to solve the issue:

1. Government forces corpo to stop wasting our planet (because we don’t have a spare one)
2. People get torches

1 is impossible because gov will never cut the feeding hand and 2 is just a matter of time until we will get couple hundred millions migrants from Aftica, India, Pakistan etc.

Literally my father moment

Yeah its pretty standard to have in offices and shops, but not in apartments or houses. I’ve seen couple of ceiling fans in Spain, but here in France some people don’t even use regular floor fans for some reason lol

To be honest, we only get 2 hot months in a year (usually, though its starting to change and now its more like 3 hot months where 2 are extra hot)

This is fine, we just need to switch from plastic bugs and make caps attached to bottles and everything will be alright! Together we can fight at least 1% of the carbon emissions from top 100 corporations in the world :)

All these things are solving different problems and you absolutely don’t have to use them if they complicate your current workflow.

I can’t imagine making a high interval trading app, things like notion or figma without modern libraries.

jQuery only gets you so far before you will wake up in unmaintainable hell where your team has to re-invent the wheel

Always confused when I see memes like this

You learn js, then you learn a bit about ts and pick react/vue if you want to do frontend or nodejs if you’re into backend. Then you do something basic, like a barebones twitter clone, weather app, etc. By the point when you’re 80% done, you will know most important parts of the ecosystem naturally

After that, learning all the supporting libraries/frameworks is super simple since next is just superset around react, same for nuxt. Solid, svelte, fresh etc are just different flavors of react. Even vue is looking like react this days with composition api, simply because they nailed the simplicity and dev comfort. Average dev will never face weird js/ts parts or confusing libraries because most of their day to day job will be moving buttons and looking how to persist user basket in browser storage…

Sure there are a lot of libraries and ways to do stuff, but 90% of them are irrelevant, only-for-hobby or simply dead and unused since 2010. Knowing ts+(react|vue)+(vuex|redux-tk|mobx)+(styled|tailwind) will land someone a basic job where they can progress and expand their knowledge lol
