I've heard good things about kagi, but $10/mo is pretty steep

I also blame search engines. I type like "python file open parameters" and I really just want the official docs. They're not even on the first page of DDG.

I don't disagree with your post but I'm pretty sure the joke in the meme is the one calling themselves a nice guy is actually an asshole. That's revealed in the "stop ignoring my DMs" ending. So it's not actually a pro "nice guy" meme. Which you probably got, but maybe missed it?

One of the other guys is on Windows and we had to change a config in git to handle it. Not sure what he did on his end. I have vscode on a Mac. Some people at this place have been working since like the 90s and probably are using notepad.

Hanna's autobiography "Rebel Girl" was a good read, though parts of it are harrowing.

Windows isn't fit for software development unless you're doing Windows specific stuff. Maybe you can get by with WSL or cygwyn or similar, but that's just a bandaid to make the machine less windows. You'll probably still have problems with like case folding and line endings.

How did this get normalized?

The average user doesn't know or understand technical details, and don't believe they have any power to change anything

Also capitalism means a small number of assholes make most of the decisions for reasons that benefit them

I feel like you could make an argument that "money" is ambiguous here. Bobby has more monetary value, but Amy has more items that are considered money. In a contrived example of like a DND puzzle where you need to put money on a floor tiles to disarm the traps, Amy can disable 30 and bobby only 4

I understood that reference

One of the things that makes open world games and especially Elder Scrolls so successful is the sense of exploration and place

Someone wrote that comment elsewhere and I needed to quote it in order to argue that Bethesda doesn't even do a good job of that. Level scaling really kneecaps it

I don't understand why you'd want an AI browser to begin with. Most web tasks aren't hard.

Royal Assassin was like my favorite card back in the day, playing in school when 4th edition was new. I had a couple of them and animate dead. Good times.
