First you have to know what you're actually up against. It's not a particular human behavior that is to blame, but stupidity itself. Some people are total morons and the behavior you're complaining against is merely a consequence of that. You can't defeat stupidity, it's a nature thing.

You can suppress it though. Public shaming, forced fines, get violent with them... All these things work to certain degree and will get you through the day. But again - you're not solving the problem, you're just suppressing. Stupidity is ultimately unsolvable, because nature; and that is why all those utopic dreams always fail with impressive death counts.

Anything social that tech enabled has become so toxic and damaging to normal f**ing human beings that i kinda wish governments step up and go full autocratic on these sites and services.

This stuff is 21st century digital bubonic plague. Revert life to the 90s and 80s snapshot.

Restricted OS like Android. Awesome hardware has been dumbed down to a pathetic handheld console, turning you into a brainless ad clicking zombie.

I wonder, is public WCs (like in the office) a potent vector for this disease?

I've seen seemingly immortal tech giants die to the newcomer, but MS's office is just too ubiquitous and embedded everywhere. So even if there's a superior excel alternative, who would use it when they already have Excel along with tons of other office tools.

Thing about JSON is the ease of reading and writing it, regardless the size of the document. Compression deals with the rest.

I'm not sure what to make of this as .NET is "competitor" of Jakarta EE. In quotes, because who really would prefer that to Jakarta EE/Spring...

Isn't everything produced for mass appeal algorithmic? They even have a tropes wiki. And i'd take that any day over the arthouse originals the Elevated folks spawn.

At the end it's economics that dictate what goes out hand or not.

So you're an authority on adults and proper things to watch? Link me to the codex, must read it.

I wished Uber succeeded in my country. And by "succeeding" i mean being allowed to enter the market. Can't stand taxis.

Something like that but in the clothes of a XPS (but not as thin for the sake of thinness by sacrificing cooling). I'd eat it right away.

This is something that even my Logi MX Master mouse is unable to handle.

In a lot of cases it's pattern abuse. I'm dealing with this all the time. People like to split things that can work perfectly as one whole, just for the sake of splitting it.

And to think that all the energy that went into creating so many new DSLs could have been directed to making even more linux distributions. Such shame.

Renewables are no match and no substitution to nuclear energy. No matter how much investment you dump into renewables, their energy density will remain inferior and sooner or later you will hit a threshold where, like it not, you will switch to full nuclear, because calculator batteries can't power industries. Nature has nothing better to offer (according to our current knowledge of physics) and that is not an opinion, but pure reality.

People don't want to accept this fact in the same way flat earthers don't want to accept that Earth is spheroid. They want to live in their imaginary worlds simply because they're insane.

But, today, if we were all 100% nuclear, you still have to deal with the fact that battery tech is inadequate to replace fossil. I believe that once a miracle happens such that a superior battery magically becomes trivially available to anyone, demand for power and pure market forces will cut the throat of renewables and society will completely shift to nuclear.
