I used to work in the same office as sketchfab over a decade ago, founders are good people.

And nothing was lost.

Slurs should not be excusable when directed at oneself.

For example, if you were to say “I am a retard” in front of someone with a disability, who may have been labeled as such throughout their life, how do you imagine they would feel about that?

Thanks for the response. I have no issues with the existing app personally, so alls well! I guess if apps are starting to deprecate support for 16 I’ll have to look into upgrading in the next year or so anyways.

Will it support iOS 16?

Looks like the test flight build does not.

My grandfather is/was an electrician for over 60 years. Worked on very important projects in New York City. This rubbed off on me growing up. I spent much of my childhood taking things apart, figuring out how they worked, and putting them back together how I liked. I’ve been working on both hardware and software since I was 11. Had the privilege to study CS formally in high school, and Computer Engineering in university.

Good timing mostly got me into farming, especially since interest rates fell to the floor during the pandemic. Had enough to buy the acreage I wanted, and the wife was interested in helping out. We grow a variety of things now, and not just plants. For example we sell Honey, Soaps, Walnuts, and Mushrooms. It can be hard on the body to be so active all the time, but it is more satisfying than a monitor staring back at you at 3am because of some small incident.

I continue to tinker, and assist startups in my spare time, I can’t imagine I will ever stop programming.

Might be one of the few times a Lemmy post related to me.

I have owned a farm for four years, and do engineering for fun. AMA

Nah, completely wrong take.

Linux can be adapted to fit any use case you have, and that’s an important part of its flexibility. What you really are getting at is that mass producing a machine with an OS built into it is convenient for consumers. See Android phones or Steam decks for evidence of this convenience being important to the sale of Linux based devices.

In the not too distant future, windows will go out of fashion for the home desktop PC. Someone will sell a cheap and cool arm based PC with a decent distribution. It will be a slow win, nothing like what we saw from macOS.

You could say this exact same thing about any invention.

“But why would anyone want to speak into a wire? There’s literally no point.”

“Are you seriously going to wrap your food in plastic? There’s literally no point.”

“Who will want to type on a phone without any buttons? There’s literally no point.”

“Nobody is going to want to eat meat grown in a lab. There’s literally no point.”

Not everything needs to be built with a use in mind, and even if it has a small user base at first, needs change over time. For all we know this is visionary and ahead of its time, but we don’t know it yet.

The context does matter, but it doesn’t appear you have the right one.

This guy was a literal child when he started his videos. And did no good for the world whatsoever at that time, he was simply making videos to see what would stick. Only later once he began to acquire the appropriate amount of views and fame did he choose to make videos that try to help other people. I’m sure if those videos didn’t become as wildly popular as they did, they would’ve been forced to pivot away from philanthropy. But they worked, and so they continue to be able to afford new videos that appear to help individuals in a variety of ways.

Bad things might come of this, someone could even accidentally die from poor housing construction (maybe they chose the wrong construction company), a faulty car (maybe the Tesla he gave away was shit), or eating a chocolate bar (they happened to be allergic). But I don’t believe any of that would be intentional on his part. His company, of course, could/should be held liable.

If anything he just seems like a kid who got in too deep, became ridiculously famous, and is trying to navigate this mess with the skills he has (making popular videos). No one at his current level of popularity comes out unscathed, period.

As someone who’s currently managing a team, when skip levels try to circumvent me, it is the absolute worst.

This reminded me of my manager from a couple years ago. They too had cancer, and decided that they’d become a workaholic rather than take the time off that they needed. It also meant they expected everyone they worked with, to work just as hard. With just as many long hours as them.

It was a living nightmare, and ended very poorly. It would be nice if people had mandatory time off when experiencing such trauma in life.
