Ah, the good old magic trick!

But that's not the premise of the purge either.

The absolute majority just takes shelter and sits it out.

The unlucky people who can't but don't want to participate get slaughtered.

The crazy ones thrive

> Politicians are completely naive in their understand how people works

Some are, others aren't. They just accept it willingly.

Just as in the Purge movies politicians are exempt ;-)

tbh, as an owner of a .name (tld) I don't understand how this worked in the real world.

I have subdomains like {myfirstname}.{lastname}.name ... {lastname}.name is mine

So obviously {myfirstname}.{lastname}.name is a subdomain...

Could someone now have bought {myfirstname}.{lastname}.name and DNS would go to their page?

If so, I find the new behaviour way more sane...

If I wanted to sell a subdomain, I could do this, no questions asked. I just point the subdomain to another IP.

But I pay for {lastname}.name so it should be mine, just like any other .tld I have!

I don't think so. If you own it, you can have any subdomain.

At least I hope this is the case. I have a memorial page for my uncle under hisfirstname.ourlastname.name

Guess I am simply not invited to the party then.

Or I am not a developer after all.

Identity crisis intensifies

Exactly.

I'll stick to passwords in my passwordstore.

If this is no longer possible, then so is my participation in many services.

They don't solve a problem I have. So I am not eager to adapt them

May work in the land of the free, but not the rest of the world

I, for one, love the terminator franchise

> That too sounds like an actually good development all things considered

It would be good if we would use less resources.

But we are not.

It's just that some people don't get the newer resources.

I also still enjoy it. In my spare time.

I've always enjoyed it. In my spare time.

Also I wouldn't go as far to say that I myself produce higher quality code than my peers.

I am between a 5/10 and a 7/10 programmer at best.

I bring other valuable skills though.

I really and unironically applaud you, when the code you're writing has higher quality than the average AI produces AND it means something.

In the domains I get paid to work in, it simply doesn't matter.

The code was shit to begin with, because of hundreds of hacks due to underspecified or simply wrong requirements, bad code practices, architecture that couldn't keep up but was never fixed due to stubbornness...

Not saying we humans would do better or worse in general, just sharing my experiences.

I have customers where AI usage is absolutely forbidden and others where it's totally fine and colleagues vibecoded mess will come to bite them/us all.

In the US it's

People with money >> Politicians >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Average citizens.

But hey, you got Hollywood propaganda and unwavering patriotism to make up for it.
