We have arcades still ?

They are talking about like internal quotas I believe? Like my friends company is limited to 1000 in spend per month while I have no cap and will blow through 2k in a week if I’m working long hours.

When was this

No one smart is going into windows dev in 2026. It’s like working on IBM mainframes. Only people left to work are middle of the road new grads they hire and boomers who are retiring.

Is there a time besides maybe the 2010s where people had more disposable income ? What 3rd spaces did we have decades ago that we do not now ?

We have surrendered the future to religious extremists which is pretty depressing

The situation of class sizes decreasing? The article you gave is from 2021 so im guessing its just methodology of oecd vs nces? the closest citation to that claim is from a 2013 NCES source though.

The country has one of the highest QoL in the world, how it got their and the system that maintains it has plenty about to critique and deserves to be destroyed, but saying theirs nothing about this country someone would aspire seems weird.

People in my school literally failed PE, all you had to do was literally change your clothes. This is just people boogy manning tech so they feel smart. Fact is these kids will not be held back no matter what, and even if you hold them back they don’t care. They don’t see why they should bother learning in school, their parents don’t care about how they are doing in school. Passing American K-12 is essentially putting 4 brain cells of effort. We spend more money on education per capita then the rest of the world. Talk about class sizes, text books blah blah blah dosen’t matter when you have kids bullying teachers out of their jobs

In California most of my teachers were making 6 figures in my rural town, the problem is that kids don’t care about learning, their parents especially do not care at all.

How is it so hard to just not do this

Let me be delusional in peace

Hope they don’t just end up recreating their own version of it

Agreed and activitypub is great for creating a indie web kind of feel but it’s just a flawed model that brings the power dynamics of Reddit mods but with 0 checks to counteract it.

Last time I checked theirs still no channels ? Discoverability is not really their ethier only active one I really found was the monero one

Disagree, theirs so many people who think a meal isn’t a meal without meat. “Im eating the meal for the meat”. Onetime at a restaurant I was considering getting this plantain dish and my friends looked at me like I’m crazy for getting an entree without meat ???

back in my day we had to CODE our wpa_supplicant by hand

I wish AI came earlier, using python in the age of AI just sucks so much. Only reason to still use it is the libraries

Well the meme says to add some new layer over syscalls so the plan is already to break userspace entirely to force you to make a new one. But yeah if you wanted to make it irl bundling another kernel would likely be easier then Linux unless you wanted the hw support.
