Frameworks have nothing to do with OO. Ask any javascript kiddie. And if you want to babble about "how computers really work" I presume you're programming them using front console toggle switches and an enter button? No? Didn't think so.

"I've worked on were big and complex mainly"

yeah, sure you have.

"you're a just noob that needs more experience before spouting your theories."

Son, I started out with punched cards. I was probably programming before your parents had even met so spare me your faux guru BS. You really need to go get a clue. OO makes a number of problems simple, so does declarative programming. Horses for courses. When you've got some actual experience instead of playing with you PC in your bedroom you might realise that.

Says someone who's never worked on a big system with complex data.

That's why most C devs migrated to C++. Remind us about Rusts object model... oh that's right , it doesnt have one. Like VB it has kinda sorta OO type stuff but theres actual OO there. And yes, it does matter. Procedural programming large code based becomes a chore real fast.

You literally post this on every article about Firefox. Aren't you tired yet? I have replied numerous times that they are *NEVER* going to do that. And then I pointed you to using policies, which will disable updates.

Which is why I don't bother with surveys from company. If they're not going to listen to their customers, why bother doing the survey?

Having to create a policy is not the same as a simple checkbox to disable something.

One would think if customers keep complaining about something that a company would look into changing it. Such as people who complained at having to use a screen in their car to change a/c or temperature or something simple. Car manufacturers went back and put buttons and knobs in to make things easier.

Apparently Mozilla isn't interested in simple. Like so many other companies, the object is to make things as complicated, convoluted, and inconvenient as possible.

Your comment is pants.

Surely you know that's an absurdly dismissive opinion? North Korea has the capacity to gain access to anything anyone else does, especially if it comes from China.

For all they keep doing, the one thing they can't seem to do is make a checkbox to stop being harassed about updates. Apparently there is no way to do to this. It's much too complicated for them to figure out.

Perhaps they should put out a notice asking if anyone has the skills to create the checkbox and make it work.

I can assure you that blockchain work is still very much happening in finance today and there is a lot of capital being spent and a lot of profit being made. The 24/7 tokenized stock market is sadly the future of investment. If you work in the industry, you know.

I keep telling my mortage company this, but they in their legacy minds just wont take bitcoin! Same with BMW financial and my local grocery store! It's a nightmare living amoung luddites like this.

I think you are framing your argument from the luxury of the modern era. Early adopters didn’t finish working out the serious problems with cars, machinery, or electricity before widespread adoption. Safety standards and regulation often developed in response to harms that were already happening. In fact, this is happening today with AI. Tech leaders are calling for better standards and even regulation to reduce the harms AI is causing.

Some of us here were lucky enough to live in a world without leaded fuel running our cars. Luckily those "early adopters" figured that out over a few decades and we phased it out 70 some years after the fact.

Like industrialization? I'm not saying it's for the best. It is impossible to know if technological progress is for the best. I'm saying it is no different than any other kind of technological progress and we have to make a choice. Protect jobs at the cost of progress or accept that this is the cost of progress.

Sure I'd love for there to be a generation of 20 something hand crafters carving the scroll work on my shotguns, but the market has decided that engraving machines are cheaper and good enough. So that job is pretty much a hobby. I'd love to still be a doing the IT work I was doing in 1999 as well, but those skills are worthless.

I don't celebrate anything or make excuses. I see the world for how it is and I decide what I'm going to do to help myself.

It is well known that you can only think about one issue at a time. This is the core reason why "what about X" is always the best and valid defense to anything you disgree with. If you are trying to reform police camera use then it's impossible to be actively trying to stop other things.

At least that is what the politicans and small minds tell us every time they say "But what about X?"

It is also creating jobs. No different than what a spreadsheet did to acocunting, what the car did to the buggy whip industry, what computers did to people who did that work by hand, what the internet did to printed research material, what smartphones did to dozens of tools it replaced, electric lighting did to lamps, the printing press did to hand copying, digital photography did to dark rooms, CAD did to drafting.

People lost their jobs at first, then new jobs using and leveraging that tech replaced them. There is a whole career out there right now in helping business secure the use of AI. It pays great and requires a lot of expeirence in how AI is used today. There is a lot of work out there for people who can intergrate AI into stacks, to find ways to create efficiency in the use of AI, to build skills, systems, tuning, and even models for dedicated workloads in a company.

Sure a lot of jobs will be destroyed. That is the thing that happens with all technology. It's why western union doesn't bring me money on a horse carriage.

Mental illness in this country is out of control. People come to a tech forum and see an article about AI and suddenly are talking about single moms and spanking children. It's not a healthy train of thought. Please touch some grass.

"The game is up" is a common turn of phrase you aspie idiot. Normal people know exactly what he means.
