Property tax is the big thing that forces people to engage with capitalism against their will.

Without property tax, you could live off-grid for eternity. But with property tax, you always have to earn money, and the people that control that money therefore control you.

Voting isn't enough. We need a plan B and it will take hard work. We need capable organizers, physical security, mutual aid, economists, doctors, and more. If that's you, please consider joining the DSA.

Conservatives have stacked the system in their favor through gerrymandering, coups, politicized courts, voter intimidation, and at times outright fraud. Not to mention that many Democrats vote alongside Republicans in favor of the oligarchs.

Vote, yes, but also please help us make a society that renders oligarchy obsolete.

Yeah this is a common issue with docker. If you can get away with running the underlying tool without docker I would almost always recommend that instead.

Microsoft is more evil and has been doing this in Bing Chat since the beginning.

To say it's "completely incorrect" is an exaggeration at best. The paper you cited is far more nuanced than that.

Well there's your problem :P every language has bad code examples

Even though most of the specifics you point to are wrong, it's a good point overall:

Rust, being #1, should be better than all other languages. The fact that it's just decent makes it seem overhyped, and all the downvotes on haters make it look like a cult.

Back when it was small, the cult-like following was OK. But now that the language is becoming more mainstream I think the Rust evangelizers need to tone it down a bit or they risk pushing people away.

On your point, TypeScript is a decent language too. There can be two good things.

In OP's defense I have heard this said unironically by several engineers at my last job.

"Rust is going to replace JavaScript thanks to webassembly, so we should be moving all of our code to that."

"Our client should be in the same language as our backend, just like in GWT"

 

"Google has announced plans to store Maps Timeline data locally on users' devices instead of their Google account effective December 1, 2024."

"The development is part of a series of changes the company has enacted in response to allegations that it misled consumers and illegally tracked their movements despite turning off Location History from the account settings by taking advantage of the non-obvious Web & App Activity setting."
