A coworker from Alabama once told me that programming is like kissing your sis: you can't get better at it by reading books, you have to try and make mistakes to learn

Fair. I hate kube though. Most companies run just 10 pods because they cargo cult google. The complexity of it is completely unjustified

Why is it so funny to see issues with a terminal running in 4k? It never crossed my mind that some folks do that.

Konsole has no tabs?

I actually like Zig. I wish something like CUDA was available in it.

Thanks, this clears things up. I didn't know what exactly was making print IO slow.

I don't use any complex TUIs. Pretty much everything is CLI or GUI. Which TUIs did you have in mind that were slow?

I'd like to test this soon. I'll look for a modern TUI framework.

I've never seen a slow terminal emulator. Most terminals have tabs and splits. Never experienced compatibility issues. Don't care about Zig at all.

Are these all the reasons? Another toy software written out of boredom.

Have you tried NewPipe? YouTube changed the API a few times, and it broke for a day. Otherwise, it's excellent. I had trouble with Google Pay lately, which is really frustrating, I reverted to cash. No trouble with Chrome or Gmail on Android.

It's a miracle that Google botched messengers, Google+, cloud ('member app engine?). They could have been even more dominant. I still like them more than MS and FB.

People don't go to public places to hang out anymore, so we're dependent on the internet for that these days. Does it mean addiction? Not at all. It's similar to drug addiction, if you're in good health and good company, time flies when you're sober. When you're sitting by yourself in a small room, you're dependent on time accelerating media devices. For me, meth accelerates time in a similar fashion, and I can spend hours sitting in a room looking out the window, no urge to look at memes in chat rooms. Meth is easier to stop for me because of harsher side effects.

The Twitter format is crap. It's bad for search (Mastodon users don't wanna be searchable). There is a huge recency bias: observed in echo waves of circlejerk memes (CEO stuff being the most recent one). It limits discussion depth compared to the reddit format. Here on lemmy people often read all comments, and I like it even if mine get downvoted :)

The subscription model rarely works. Netflix now shows ads, Twitter is still in the red. The donation/self-hosted model is even less successful. I have an unpopular opinion that ads are still the best way to pay for servers and staff. Reddit users hated ads, and that led to them turning into a data repo for Gemini.

I hope Fedi becomes more accepting of ads, but it's a tall order given that it's still mostly pinkos and nerds.
