I share your sentiment of not being overly judgmental when you see an en/em dash but this feels overly reductive and hostile:

> Proper writing in general is being derided by younger folks who are too uneducated to tell the difference.

There are legitimate differences in writing styles between age groups and cultures and being overly prescriptive in what is “right” vs “wrong” doesn’t help your argument IMO

Is there a source for this that isn’t just a random Reddit comment?

If you click the "i" info button in the top right, it'll list the full credits, including those who worked on the music.

The music was breathtaking here - I'd absolutely pay for a version of it. Really solidified the experience

It’s not the media’s fault that the initial executive order was an ambiguous mess that threatened the livelihoods of immigrants all across the country.

One does not need to be a sock puppet to believe that the justification for this ban is shaky at best.

Every social media network does basically the same thing as Tiktok and the government has produced no compelling evidence for the ban. They just keep saying “the evidence is classified but trust us”

This law has pretty big free speech implications which seems potentially controversial on the legal front IMO

The third option here is writing type stubs for the library, which you can sometimes find community versions of as well. They’re not too time consuming to write and generally work well enough to bridge the gap

Is there something unique or special about the private keys that are guessed? This seems like an incredibly wasteful allocation of compute (which wouldn’t be surprising given that it’s bitcoin but still)

> We have saved millions with hardcore anti-smoking campaigns. I don't agree with them, but they cured millions none the less.

Can you expand on that last bit? Why don’t you agree with them?

I get the point you’re trying to make, but Counterstrike is a free to play game. You might be thinking of Call of Duty?

> I'm trying to get my kids to use their Ubuntu Linux machines instead of the fucking iPads.

Why? Like seriously. Why? What benefit does this give to your kid?

From your kid’s perspective, the laptop is going to be less useful, more hostile, it’s going to limit how they’re able to talk and relate to their friends.

Outside of your desires as a technologist and personal feelings about Linux, why should your kid want to use it? It feels like you’re projecting the ideals and values of your career onto your kids and then you’re surprised when they don’t share those ideals.

> They may well be right.

Huh? What does this even mean? Are you honestly claiming that humans can't work without something standing over their shoulder the entire time?

I'm not saying that you should believe they do, but it's pretty common for companies to act like they do and given how common that kind of loyalty talk is, it doesn't surprise me that people do

> The company wants to try and make more money and one way is eliminating your job. Why is that so personal?

God forbid we expect people to be treated with a bit of dignity and given the opportunity to actually say goodbye to their friends and colleagues.

Millennials grew up being told over and over “be loyal to a company and they’ll treat you well” and have largely began their careers in an era where it’s clear companies couldn’t care less about employee loyalty once it comes anywhere close to negatively impacting their bottom line.
