I've been saying that for years. Now I have about 250 albums drm-free on Bandcamp. A good chunk of that money went to the people making the music, too.
I know there are people out there paying a subscription to Spotify who listen to the same dozen albums over and over, too.
Please start live streaming your actions in public for us all to watch. You don't have any abusive exes or family members, I hope. Also I trust you've never said anything to irritate right wing fanatics. Maybe if it's a little more personal, you'd have a little more empathy.
Also, of note, not all limits are from the law. Peer pressure and private businesses saying "You can't do that in here" are also tools.
Something being legal doesn't make it good.
People want to be able to go out into the world without being filmed. That was the case for thousands of years. It is not unreasonable to expect limits on recording in public.
Now one of the worst organizations on earth (meta) wants to record everyone and everything for their private benefit. People are mad.
I'm an outlier I guess. I don't think I have any subscriptions.
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
Notepad was supposed to be the simplest lightest weight text editor. It didn't need to change.
