You're awaiting a new president with hopes the Chinese can again saturate the market with more of their cheap junk?

I want a cup of coffee not a science project.

As opposed to the plastic pipes your water runs through, the plastic water filter, plastic coffee maker, and plastic travel mug you pour it into?

Can we use this for voter ID?

Gourmet high-end Keurig pods are like $0.50 each. Make your own coffee.

> you have things like the Charlie Brown Halloween Special

People made fun of me for continuing to hoard physical media all these years. I predicted this hellscape might come one day. Man I love being right.

You forgot they broke iTunes Home Sharing on iOS some years ago and have refused to fix it.

Takes over a minute to connect now. (Allegedly the fault of a new, yet horribly inefficient, parser that chokes on large libraries which worked fine a decade ago on phones with half the CPU and RAM.)

Once connected, it won't play DRM-protected tracks I PAID FOR, says I'm not authorized.

I ended up having to break the DRM because Apple can't be bothered to include a functioning music player anymore.

An "iPod with touch controls" is no longer part of iPhone.

An ad-filled music subscription consumption software is.

Being uncomfortable has no equivalence to racism, which you are trying to assert.

Assume a white guy voluntarily takes a job working in a wig shop that only sells black women's hair care products. He's going to be uncomfortable at some point. Does he have a right to not be uncomfortable? Should the company culture change, should they stop selling wigs and ditch their customers until he becomes comfortable?

No. The easiest solution is he should work elsewhere. He took the job knowing exactly what was involved. So no, you are not entitled to not be culturally uncomfortable.

They're a game company. They're not feeding the poor.

Your employment is "at will".

You are not entitled to any item in your list of demands.

You are, however, free to leave at any time for something more suited to your tastes.

> They also have an internal culture that's been fairly regularly criticized as being pretty uncomfortable for women and minorities.

If they don't like the culture, then they should work elsewhere.

I hear Google is hiring.

Nothing worse than joining a company you contributed zero to building from the ground up, then unilaterally deciding the culture needs to change according to your whims, right now.

You might feel uncomfortable working in a black barber shop. Or a cat cafe with pet allergies. You've contributed nothing to their business, they shouldn't have to change for you.

Why would anyone want to use a complex kludge like QUIC and be at the mercy of broken TLS libraries, when Wireguard implementations are ~ 5k LOC and easily auditable?

Have all the bugs in OpenSSL over the years taught us nothing?

An open source developer (the creator of Ruby on Rails and Omarchy Linux) made a political comment someone didn't like. Now there is a concerted effort by a small group of terminally online histrionics to ruin his life and get all his projects cancelled. The comment was apparently made on his personal blog and not in any official capacity.

To be clear, I'm a big proponent of physical media.

But places to buy them brick & mortar simply do not exist anymore. The few that do exist are mostly owned by 'big corporations'. And the physical media sections in stores are some of the saddest places I've walked through: they look abandoned, media is disorganized and difficult to find. They tend to focus on stocking greatest hits compilations. The days of treasure hunting in a record store is a relic of the past I'm afraid.

If you live in a city that still has a record store within driving distance, great! But that's, what, maybe 10% of the population at most? You're likely making a special trip, not dropping in on your way to do something else.
