bakioka··on Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?
Way to completely miss the point there bub. Most crass answer here.
bakioka··on Reddit CEO says paywalls are coming soon
Sure buddy, lets see how that works for you.
bakioka··on Reddit CEO Says Paywalls Are Coming Soon
Too complicated for the casual user. Doesn't work.
bakioka··on Windows 11 market share falls despite Microsoft ad blitz
Good. There is no benefit to using 11 instead of 10.
bakioka··on Ask HN: What's the Alternative to Agile?
The alternative from people who criticize agile is coming up with your own process or no process at all. Just do what you guys want that makes you productive.
bakioka··on I don't know why so many devs avoid a GUI for Git
I prefer a gui and use magit in emacs. But everytime I ask someone they act offended that I'd even think they'd use a GUI instead of the CLI. I really really like gitkraken as well but I wouldn't pay for that.
bakioka··on Cap – OSS Loom Alternative
Nothing opens?
bakioka··on Mint Is Shutting Down
Gnucash.
bakioka··on Ask HN: Which remote desktop software works well for both Windows and Mac?

Apache Guacamole

VNC

bakioka··on Microsoft might want to be making Windows 12 a subscription OS, suggests leak
And people will continue pirating
bakioka··on Digital Currency Without Blockchain
Can't see the page cause I'm on firefox... lmao what a joke.
bakioka··on Is 200k the new 120k?
Yes.
bakioka··on Ask HN: Should I even try getting a SE job anymore?
lmao, don't listen to these guys saying you're not cut out for it. The market has taken a downturn and it's hard for everyone, especially juniors. What you need to do is work on your skills. Doesn't need to be "feverish intensity" but just something you can show your skills and develop them like a useful side-project. Don't let your skills rust in the meanwhile. Also, have someone take a look over your resume/linkedin and help you with interview practice. That's just as valuable or even more than technical skills.

Also, lmao at the guy saying you can create a 1B dollar product in 5 years. If it were that easy everyone would be a billionaire.

bakioka··on Ask HN: Is remote going away? Why?
It's about power like the other one just said. Workers are in a weak position unless there is a surplus of demand. Or you know, actually unionize for gods sake.
bakioka··on Show HN: Chitty – A macOS native ChatpGPT client with custom assistants
What a name.
bakioka··on Mozilla plans ground-up UI redesign for Thunderbird email client this July
Oh god, I hope they preview the UI and give us the option of not using it if we don't like it.
bakioka··on [dead]
Sure you did bud.
bakioka··on Ask HN: Layoffs – how bad are things really?
Yes to 1 and 3. Hard no for 2.
bakioka··on Gnome 43, “Guadalajara”
Does it have thumbnails yet?
bakioka··on Ask HN: Do you work multiple jobs remotely?
You need to be really good at time management and have to be able to bullshit to get out of conflicting meetings. One of the reasons I'm a bit scared to do it is the meetings.
bakioka··on Software engineering estimates are garbage
He provides no solid foundation from which to work on. It's basically 'just talk it out and figure it out yourself'. Most companies don't have the idealistic teams he envisions where everyone is happy and collaborative. The teams might not even be in the same timezone today.
bakioka··on Software engineering estimates are garbage
He says they're garbage and his solution instead is basically 'just talk it out bro'. Although I agree there are problems with Scrum and Agile, his solution is just idealistic and not helpful at all.
