Comment Re:TypeScript? (Score 1) 27

JavaScript is actually a pretty interesting, powerful language, but one with quite a few problems. (I recommend the book JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford if you want to learn more about that.) TypeScript solves some, but by no means all, of those problems. From what I've heard, it's increasingly popular.

Why any of the jokers in charge of our governments are still not in jail baffles me more and more every year. Oh yes, it's because they make the rules, sorry, my bad.

No, it's because of all the idiotic enablers. We could just solve the problem by walking into the halls of power en masse and removing them but you can only get that kind of energy from total fucking clowns who want anarchy, and not the good kind that doesn't exist (as it leads naturally to feudalism) but the bad kind with only chaos.

Comment AI does not make Developers obsolete (Score 1) 63

AI make development more efficient and effective but the classic problem in development is not lack of people but lack of development progress.
If doubt that you can be able to lay off people, you just have to deal with more code to shape and scrutinise.

Take software maintainers as an example. You need more human maintainers to deal with the AI slop of reputation farming, not less.

Sooner or later the AI LLM market will collapse on the financial market but we will continue to need programmers that use AI.

The counter argument would be like C is more easier to code as assembler, so C led to assembler coder layoffs.
And we heard it before, about RAD assisted coding, in fact we only needed more and more developers.

It is really sad what happened to the product. A prime example of what Cory Doctorow calls enshittification. there needs to be a harder push for open source apps, so we could stop the trend of products thea go down the drain and improve the security of services.

It was a really cool platform for making dating related personality tests and nerd around with other users, and then things happened.

Comment Open Development (Score 1) 96

I wonder why Microsoft does not go 100% open source for windows apps, as to ensure that customers are not exposed to "enshittification" risks of their favourite apps by suboptimal cloud and AI inclusions or product upgrades. These days you cannot be sure that your favourite app will be available in two years time. WIN 11 is already so much worse than Win 10.

Submission + - OnlyOffice CEO objects Euro-Office license changes (onlyoffice.com)

Elektroschock writes: Lev Bannov of OnlyOffice is concerned about the Euro-Office inclusion of Onlyoffice with trade marks removed: "We liked the AGPL v3 license because its 7th clause allows us to ensure that our code retains its original attributes, so that users are able to clearly identify the developers and the brand behind the program.". Euro-Office is a more comprehensive office productivity package of IONOS which aims to challenge Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspaces offerings in Europe.

Did you think we were the 'only surviving industrial infrastructure' until the 80s? /huh?

I'm going to go ahead and assume bad faith on your part, because otherwise you're very stupid. But nobody in your potential audience is stupid enough to believe there aren't lasting effects to being bombed to shit.
