What a great time for a thread like this to pop-up and remind me why I basically want nothing to do with this fucking community. I gotta stop making this mistake.

Sorry to those that took the time to share their experiences and then were told "no, you're wrong, here's why". Nothing will change here, good luck.

I haven't run Windows in a very, very long time, maybe I was too subtle with my dig at this type of content (a day after the "slimmed down" Win11 image was posted and discussed widely).

I really wish MS would remove the TPM requirement, so that I could stop sympathizing with the people who seem to have an obsessive hobby with making maintenance burdens for themselves, or will opine about Linux maintenance while spending countless unaccounted time mucking with Windows like this -_-.

Ah yes, because teens on tiktok over use a word, you've decided every usage of the word is wrong and a sign to stop listening. And you seem to think disclosing that to people ... doesn't reflect poorly on you?

Feel free to google the word, then the behavior I described, then look at the peer comment where someone literally goes "idk what that long-since killed-off-thing was but you must be exaggerating".

LOL, I want to frame this comment. Abso-fucking-lutely stunning.

Thanks for ironically proving my point and demonstrating just how ignorant the criticism was.

I can't get my head around this. I describe a feature, that has long since been ret-conned from the community because it became such a thorn in everyone's side.

And you're just like "nah it probably wasn't that bad even though it was excised and is no longer talked about *and I can't even remember what it was for*" (despite being the exclusive only way to do local dep management). Stun-ning.

What is was "sold as a fix for"? Man, the hubris of people commenting on things literally completely ignorantly.

LOL, really didn't think I'd be gaslit about GOPATH in 2023. Brilliant, keep it up Gophers!

Lmao, the never amount of times a page felt faster or more responsive than a page refresh. Oh joy, i clicked and nothing is happening and i get no progress notification. Really great.

The entire premise is absurd. What application spends more time on SSR than data fetch, or other? Exactly freaking zero that ive ever operated.

Nah. Its accessibility at this point and its time we start talking about it, yes, even here. The internet is being ruined by js and screenshotted or otherwise uncopyable, inaccessible text.

Good one! Very funny!

/me remembers years of being gaslit by Gophers, of all stripes, for asserting that, no, unlike the cult of personality around Go, i did actually know what i was talking about when I said GOPATH was a nightmare in real world use (even better, it was plainly obvious even with pre-1.0 kubernetes). Just cringey.

For all the handwavey whinging about Rust, Gophers have treated me far more poorly over things that have been retconned and forgotten years later.

So... entirely typical Go fashion. Your own comment implies that Drew would have no way of knowing if theyd follow through and frankly its laughable that Google has enkugh good will with anyone for anyone to make any positive assumptions at any step along the way.

I... i dont even think there's a way to have conversations here anymore. There are undoubtedly people here who work for countless startups that do thr exact same thing, use countless products that work the exact same way. And yet, 2 threads a day about how Netflix implementing something theyve warned about doing for literally years.

Lol! Its like this site having more pity for consumerist tech workers that pissed away hundreds of thousands a year versus rhe empathy displayed for otherwise actually poor, disenfranchised folks.

To try to be generous/polite, how am I supposed to read many of these comments other than... rampantly entitled?

Regarding concurrent stream plans, I'm afraid you're going to have a very bad not great day if you get mad about every tech-y company over-selling to unsuspecting consumers...

Or are we keeping with the feigned-ignorance thing and acting like a company growth-hacking and rug-pulling customers is anything but absolutely run-of-the-mill.

more examples that I thought of while writing this; `fd` and `sd` which I use daily now. and since my nix config lists my rust tools, because I'm a `mut hardcoreZealot` TM: `exa` (try `exa -al --tree --level 2`), `dua` (try `du -x i`), `gitui`, `jless`, `bat` (sparingly)

`xplr` and `joshuto` are clearly thought-out non-trivial TUI file explorers that seem to scale to the naive and a certain power-user type.

`difftastic` is a very cool replacement `diff`.

`jj` is compatible with git, and like git-branchless, but I'll bet on `jj` for a number of reasons. It's also awesome and in 3 years there's going to be some amazing tools built with `jj` and...

(not a daily/semi-daily use, at all, but special mention:) `git-oxide`, I mean, you can guess from the name, the monthly reports show just how incredibly thoughtful the author is and just how incredibly viable and already-usable this project is (especially given the complexity which I really would not have understood without the thorough monthly updates).

followup, there's no reason for this to really mean anything, or for anyone to "believe" me, but I just opened this post on reddit:

https://old.reddit.com/r/zfs/comments/10pdspe/take_your_zfsb...

and wow, what a smart tool, and a smart way to release it. I know how to mount a snapshot, and ripgrep/fd through it, could script that, but making that resilient would suck. The way this is presented is smart. It's a new OSS project, shows example usage in the reddit post. Anyway, I thought of my comment earlier, and of course, there it is, `Cargo.lock`, bias confirmed. And a tagged release. And has a `LICENSE`. And has committed `Cargo.lock`.

For the sake of not replying too much I'll say I'd echo everything spoiler wrote in this posts' sibling comment. And at the risk of coming across poorly, there's something that's a cross of stockholm-syndrome and sunk cost fallacy and it seems like when certain potentially displacing technologies gain more and more steam, there's a louder and louder minority that claim that this new paradigm is just too disruptive and what are they teaching our kids.
