I don't see the appeal of scrolling through a list of games I could potentially make myself VS scrolling through a list of games I could immediately play.

Then what do they actually read?

This was simply replaced by LLMs wars. I find it even less fun.

And then you can no longer change a label without LLM assistance. I don't doubt this suits some people but impotently begging Claude to fix a critical bug while your boss looks over your shoulder must be quite humiliating.

I've never heard or read anyone saying this in the early 2000s. They had publicly stated their contempt of the web earlier, made fools of themselves when they realized their mistake and went all-in on it, and spent the whole decade lagging behind. The closest they had to an online success was Wizzes.

So would the previous and the next one, this is not situational.

The ability to switch software controls hasn't been communicated but the device will definitely be best suited for right hand handling (just opening it from left hand requires wrist twisting).

A dumb phone (or a glorified apple watch) that unfolds into an iphone, I would pay for this.

SE isn't sold anymore, and just like the Mini most of the NOS found today is actually refurbished.

> op in a Debian CD and select a ready made profile for it.

At the time in question here tasksel wasn't a thing, I think merely a concept. It made its way in Debian installer around 20005 IIRC, right along "one-click installs" from hosting services mentioned in the other reply. The whole decade before that, indeed manual set up was needed.

> at /r/homelab or somewhere selfhosters hang out today [...] That's orders of magnitude more manual work

There is two kinds of self-hosters, those who aim at reproducibility and those who don't. The latter is more fun, the former gets quickly mandatory when you _rely_ on your homelab.

> you could fairly easily host most things on a old fashioned lamp host (I am talking decades ago) and all you had to know was basic file transferring

Setting up and maintaining a server is easier today than it was decades ago, A LAMP at this time meant a lot of manual setup, IaC wasn't a thing, reproducibility wasn't a goal, versioning was confidential, documentation was scarce and often outdated, out of the box security was lower, ties to the OS were higher. Managing virtual hosts was clunky, updating OS/PHP was risky. I would not go back for anything.

> having to setup docker properly (rootless and all that)

Rootless being the proper way to setup Docker is a highly controversial take. You will mostly get added complexity and a false sentiment of security from it.

Uninteresting rant by a nobody, why is this posted here? Account created 13 days ago en passant.

> millions of developers

Try a few thousands.

Sounds like a marketing service had the idea to "simplify git", the presentation sounds like they haven't heard of git flows, and no offline mode is total no-go for me.

> Think about this: if your Internet connection went down, could you continue to do your job

Reads like "don't you guys have phones". My bet is it will be forgotten in a year.
