It doesn't take a communist to see the inherent conflict of interest between employer and employee, or the disproportionate power in the hands of employers. These are not "invisible forces" by any means.

This does not really matter in practice. The risk of legal sanctions is too high for most businesses, they will follow the law. This is kind of similar to pirate software, businesses almost never use them even if they could definitely get away with it in most cases. The issue is that a single angry former employee is all it takes to make your life hell. This is even more true for large organizations where many people would know about the unlawful practice.

Thats a pretty bad summary

Sorry but this is nonsense. Juniors can absolutely make a huge mess in python if let to their own devices. You seem to confuse the knowledge of syntax and language features with actual experience in designing software.

A head of cauliflower is around 210 calories when cooked, similar to the cheeseburger in your example.

Aren't they legally required to do so?

Sounds like a cybersecurity and compliance nightmare.

Sure, if you want society to collapse.

>America

What do you even mean by this? "America" is not a forum or platform, it's a country.

>the Internet

most forums on the Internet are moderated. Forums without moderation quickly are known to become toxic cesspools. Even sites like 4chan needs to moderate beyond legal requirements.

>e2e encrypted messaging

again, not sure what you mean by this. A messaging platform doesn't need central moderation because users chose who they want to message.

Their only good product?

what's wrong with git?

Let me guess, VBA?

They probably did...

The trick is to use KDE

Haha, good one!

I was avoiding Emacs for years because I heard that it's a huge timesink, so I kept using Vim and later NeoVim. Last month I started learning Clojure(great language btw) and after some consideration I decided to give Emacs a try. It's my new favorite thing, it was a pleasure to learn. It took about 4 sessions to get productive with it, a couple of days. Really not that much of an effort. After a bit of tinkering, I feel like Emacs is what I was always looking in other IDEs. (Neo)Vim is a great text editor, but I was never able to customize it to a point where I was 100% satisfied with it. With Emacs it took a couple of weeks. If you end up giving Emacs a try, I would advise using the native keys, at least until you're comfortable with the editor. When in Rome... Also, masteringemacs.com has a great beginner article, I highly recommend it.

That's kind of depressing

Crypto in it's current form is indeed useless.

What are you talking about? There is no shortage of geniuses who advance sciences today. If anything, the scientist class is wider than ever. Also, you're proposing segregation based on vague attributes which would be horrible for children and harm society.

It takes you 10 days per year to disable defender and tweak some settings?

But that's illegal. It's market making.

Learning how to cook. Its a great hobby and you get better every time you do it. Its a creative process and nothing is more relaxing for me after a long day spent staring at screens than cooking a nice meal.

Thank you for writing that, i think something like that is happening to me and it really helps to see others going trough the same thing, makes me feel less alone.

these are especially things i can relate very well.
