  • Agree. I don’t care about Trump’s second term since I’m not a US citizen but I’m worried about the trend of money buying everything. Recent events have shown that billionaires don’t need to pretend to care about society. They can just join a political party and use their money to do whatever they want.

    Musk supporting AfD is just him proving his power. He could not care less about Germans or even Tesla. As much fun as seeing Trump having to clarify that he’s the president, it’s a really bad trend that in this age of media content and AI, it’s easier than ever to influence any society.

    I’m pretty sure DeepSeek will play in this direction: give free AI with “PRC influence” to everyone, and when repeatedly enough time, people will believe what they’re told.




  • RoR is too much magic for me. Getting started with any new code base is such a pain that I never want to do again. As a manager, I’ll avoid any job post that mentions Ruby. I have maintained projects written in Delphi, Centura, Java, C#, PHP and none of them even come close to the pain of RoR. Java and C# are notorious for ceremonial interfaces but that’s nothing compared to trying to figure out RoR automagics.

    Epic wanted exclusives by pulling games from other platforms. I will never spend a single cent on Epic Games. I’m happy to spend it on Steam, especially games that I have pirated before (Commandos series for example) or indie games (Banished anyone?).

    For bigger games such as Civilians, I’ll purchase it on Steam and then pirate so I don’t need to run Steam. I am a big fan of patches to remove the intro screen.
