https://youtu.be/cpVnx4_yqToYoutube is fucking Youtubers over with this AI age verification and that means that videos won't be shown to people if they can't verify their age even if it's videos that aren't actually mature/restricted and are usually shown in their feeds all the time. The AI does not care. It will not show you any video it thinks will be not appropriate if it doesn't know how old you are.
>>106484141good

>>106483746from a technical pov it is even worse, modern java is a much better platform all things considered (performance, support, features including even LLMs are better@java I wager)the pool of java devs are much bigger than kotlin/go. OTOH java is the most jeetified language, so in the white male case it might worth the trade off, but keep in mind working in a niche subpar stack might affect long term employability. Also not dealing with @sprong@ is a blessing.
>>106483746Do non-Indians like working with Java? My gut feeling that it's a pretty hated language.
>>106484524its very old so it's very well documented just by there being millions of forum posts asking basic questions about it so eventually you can find one that isn't an SO tier "You're trying to do X? Just do Y instead :)"

3 years in and I cannot find a decent paying or interesting job to save my life. My current job is a total dead end. I love computers, but I'd literally make way more money as a commercial cleaner and just doing computer stuff as a hobby. I'm already a data janitor anyway

Should I get GPD MicroPC 2 or GPD WIN mini 2025 or Pinephone with a keyboard? WIN mini is 800 EUR, MicroPC 2 is 600 EUR with N300 CPU but 3 times worse performance. Pinephone has raspberry pi 3 performance and is 350 EUR on the Pine64 EU store but only 240 EUR on the global store and the key board for it is 90 EUR on EU store but I can't find it on the global store.
>>106484113We had GPD Win threads back in 2016 before any UMPC maidposting happened. 15 years ago we had threads about Sony Vaios, etc.
>>106484047Ok I will get WIN mini
>>106484203I'm not saying they were never discussed before maidposting took off, but those discussions were usually one person asking about them, and then 2 or 3 people leaving a half dozen posts about how such machines are useless. Maidposters were the first people to treat them as something other than a novelty and start daily driving them. Prior to that, the general consensus was that they're e-waste that will collect dust on a shelf.
>>106484375>half dozen posts about how such machines are uselessThey were literally criclejerk threads where people jerked off to them. Back then they were Steam Deck replacements before Steam Deck for many.

I do not care for the modern computing experience. I long for the past.

Just make your own GPU drivers bro.>>106483793Back then you had all the control with a little bit of knowhow, nowadays hardware is actively hostile against you and as such so is its software.

>>106483710Maybe you don't. I have just as much - if not more - control than I ever have.
I've been thinking to myself for quite some time why there isnt a more projects for linux or bsd that can emulate these desktops. maybe not all the features but we should be able to have pixel perfect open source clones especially with the ability to generate code so quickly now. and im not talking about an xfce theme but a completely custom desktop environment. you could always have some sort of web control panel or just use applications from another gui toolkit until they were able to be implemented but i have never seen a pixel perfect implenmetation which is retarded it just pixels on a screen bro if i didnt have a job thats what i would be working on especially since the XP source code got leaked so literally every image related to taskbar and buttons is in there guis for desktops have essentially looked the same for the past 25 years why has no one made that tron shit yet its just troon shit
Once they kill sideloading, I'm switching to an iPhone. They already murdered custom ROMs and are in the process of making sure AOSP is unusable. This is the last straw. Android will just be iOS with ads
>>106483525true true...
>>106483543We still LOAD programs, it now happens automatically behind the scenes when you run a program. INSTALLING, thoughever, is a process of unpacking program's resources, copying the files, configuring the program etc so that it can be run on the system.>>106483740>why call it side loading in the first place?Because they consider it important to point out that what you're doing is wrong - you're installing a program through "side channels", not using "official channels".>>106483819>Words don't change reality>It doesn't matter>The outcome is the samePeak reddit nihilism. If it didn't matter, they wouldn't rename "installing programs" into "sideloading".

>>106484668Samsung's entire existence has been copying the dominant player in every market they compete in. In the 80s and 90s it was Sony, now it's Apple. They've never known anything but making clones of other companies' products.
