>We lost gobs of tenants and the riff raff tookover

Not trying to get into an argument but you are no more entitled to the city than your fellow citizens aka the "riff raff"

Feel like this is an answer to the Lamborghini Urus which, at the time, I remember the internet not being fond of either. But in the real world, they are now a massive status symbol

I as a Gen-Zer mourn the "old internet" of the 2010s. I agree and feel like nostalgia is kind of a lie.

In my own generation for example, I've seen a transition from "no good music has come out since 2000, we missed the GB/N64 era of gaming" to deep nostalgia for PS3/Xbox and Linkin Park era metal as the golden era.

260M households does not equal 260M satisfied with Netflix alone. Almost everyone I know with Netflix also has at least one, if not both, of Disney+ or Prime Video

Because I got bills lol

It is boring, that is the appeal for most of its proponents I think. Obviously that doesn't appeal to the nerdier side of programming, but if your goal is to "write programs" as opposed to "do programming for programmings sake", it gets out of your way most of the time to enable that in my experience.

While impressive technically I am very curious how well these kinds of hyper-realistic games will work in terms of gameplay compared to their more arcadey counterparts, I'm not convinced people will prefer them to regular shooters after the shock of the graphics wears off. I think this kind of thing could be crazy for VR though where more natural movement is preferred.

> Maybe don't install crap on your dev machine if you're not going to keep it updated.

If only there was some way lastpass could ensure that crap wasn't installed on corporate network connected dev machines...

> I know that the story isn't new: college grades move to large cities for jobs and exciting opportunities, but these friends are young! Plus, we are witnessing our siblings who are about to leave college balk at the idea of paying rent in large cities (NYC, SF, Chicago, Austin, et al) and are looking more fondly at smaller, more affordable cities.

I've had much a similar experience, moving to a smaller town after university. Since my role allows me to work mostly remotely there's no reason to bother paying crazy rent in the city rather than occasionally commuting as necessary. There is a decent cohort of other people here in the same boat so I'm not just surrounded by older folk and its nice being closer to nature if I ever want to get out of town for a while.

Thinking this change of "technocratic authoritarian overlords" is as much of a non-event as you seem to or that the Chinese level of control over the citzenry is equivalent to that of the USA is a crazy level of naivety that I can't even begin to unpack

Costing more per unit than every other call of duty release probably helps

> Personally I think Twitter would work best if it was left to be just that. I don't think anyone really cares about what I have to say, for example

This hasn't been my experience of twitter at all, I follow far more unverified people than I do verified and I know I'm not the only one that does. Communities like football (soccer) twitter aren't built on a few large verified accounts but, as far as I can tell, by mass participation more akin to reddit.

I would if it were true however I don't think India has been particularly friendly to Sikhs or any other minority community.

I don't imagine it was 9 straight hours but like a song an hour or every half an hour

I have GPG for if theres anything that actually needs a level of assured security that I send to close friends and immediate family, but as a day to day thing end-to-end encrypted instant messaging is a good compromise between your own security and not convincing everyone around you that youre scared of the federal agents living in your walls.
