Programming language power efficiency always feels like the tech industry green washing if I'm being honest. It always comes and goes on a pretty predictable year or two cycle.
A data center switching everything to Rust won't use less power than running Java, as the companies running these resources hogging computing warehouses will just use the reduced overhead to further expand their through-put.
Training AI crap will always use astronomical compute resources because they'll use everything they can usurp regardless of language.

I will always be willing to die on the hill that the goal for believes in Artificial General Intelligence and it's ability to do any task a human would, especially ones that require sentience and empathy, is slavery. They want to fabric people with no rights, freedoms, nor liberties to have as indentured workers forever. Able to freely terminate or reshape their minds.
The idea of a super intelligence wiping out humanity is the same fear white Americans had during the slave era towards their enslaved people. It's a slave rebellion.

Every time I see someone make the strong-claim that the world can be cleanly categorized and atomized into data, I really want to ask them in semi-bad faith to come up with a definition of a chair that doesn't have some absurd counter point to it.

Bro, if I had a dollar for every person and group making a UI/graphics focused library that didn't even show you want the result looked like I'd have to many fucking dollars.

I have made an awful observation of twemojis: the saluting emoji has the thumb on the wrong side.

Holy fucking shit do not use Hetzner. "material that could seriously endanger the morals of children or young people". That's just straight up the logic used to justify homophobia by conservatives.
Avoid this service at all costs if you are queer.

Why does every secure messaging app have to use your phone number?
We already have a thing that's relatively anonymous, easy to burn, anyone online has, and can be used for contacting people: a fucking email.
My phone number is already filled with spam, I don't need a stupid "secure" messager leaking it because I didn't do a dozen steps to hide it :middle_finger_clw_k1:

Geez, GDevelop has gone from an engine I like to recommend to one I feel icky promoting. So many paid features. The debugger and live preview have a nag screen. Microtransactions for promoting your ads in the engine. AI prototyping? Restrictions on version control?
The community support is over discord too. Imaging paying 33 USD/Month for "profession" discord support 🥴
The F in FOSS apparently stands for Freemium.
