This, they've got the "if I can't have it then no one can" mentality about skills that are outside their reach. Not even just with art but with programming also.

Pic rel is correct but the exact same thing could be set about the same artists who let "le heckin tech bros" live rent free in their heads. The resentful techbros are at least more bearable because they at least keep their autism contained on niche places like here or discord. /ic/-tier creatures meanwhile, tend to lean more on the normie side the and therefore are basically everywhere and therefore Stick there noses and opinions anywhere and everywhere because for some reason they think they, the arts, and humanities as a whole are God's gift to humanity. Techies at least have a somewhat stable and secure job field even when factoring in AI. Humanities focused careers. Meanwhile, have much weaker job security, hence the " starving artist" trope. And respect them for sticking to something they love, but if you want to do that shit as a main career to put foot on the table, you're objectively a fool unless you have connections or are absurdly talented and lucky. The obnoxious artsy types no, they will never get the prestige and respect crave so much so they take out that frustration on other people and "ai bros" are the easiest target since SaaS vermin are committed to making everything worse on purpose for shits and giggles.

what are your favorite tech grifts? mine is every few years someone tries to invent a "smart gun" like in metal gear solid and then literally not a single person wants to buy it and all the police unions have said they will go on strike if they are mandated on cops and then the company goes bankrupt. I think the only exception was mossberg somehow survived without a bankruptcy but even bigger companies like smith and wesson. The smith and wesson one was hilarious

that's not a smart gun. "smart guns" are guns with some kind of electronic lock that blocks anyone other than the designated user from firing the gun, see the guns in metal gear solid. so like a fingerprint detector or some kind of RIFD chip

>range data
small cheap laser range finders already exist
>wind data
probably impossible to get in most situations unless you send drones out to measure the wind along the path you want to shoot
otherwise you can measure the wind at the location of the gun but that's not that accurate
either way you don't need a "smart gun" for that bullshit you just need a "smart scope" but of course that's not such a juicy idea and doesn't make as much profit so Amerimutt corporations won't consider it

I think it was pretty much all through hole back then. Through hole is optimized for ease of doing it by hand. You poke the legs through the holes, and can bend the legs to hold a bunch of them in place so you can place a lot and then flip it and quickly solder all of them. Surface mount is possible to do by hand but kind of a pain in the ass, and is really optimized for machines. Humans could precisely set all the components with their ends in the little beads of pre-tinned or paste solder and then put it in an oven, but it's tedious and too easy to bump already placed components. You can also solder a lot of them with an iron, but that's a pain in the ass and only really done for repairs.

using r3dfox browser in Windows 7 with no updates to windows itself after year 2013 (thus making it the fastest OS with no handicap) makes the OS graphically impaired especially when using year 2011 Nvidia tech

graphics become corrupted when changing from one window to another

altough it helps to scroll up and down a page, and then corruption disappears when it gets something new to draw to the screen

thats why I use supermium with year 2011 laptop with Windows 7, its the only browser right now which works properly

but you never know when the one man who creates the browser, calls it quits.

I recently figured out a way to make vim work more like ed/ex without going full Ex-Mode and losing the visual mode view with the syntax highlighting.
" Extended Ex-mode
command EEX set cursorline | set insertmode | autocmd InsertEnter * call feedkeys("\<C-o>:")
command Visual set nocursorline | set noinsertmode | autocmd! InsertEnter

All it does is it returns you to the command-line after each command.

It's a bit of a hacky solution since it uses insertmode, but it werks, plus insertmode delays the redraw so you still can see messages in the command-line area which is indispensable.

Not me. As attractive an idea as putting my whole environment into my editor is, Emacs is a terrible implementation. Elisp kind of sucks and the decades of cruft make actually configuring it a nightmare. Plus, there's the 10 million plugins that it comes with out of the box that are all already turned on with awful defaults, so it's not just a matter of building up your config to your liking (already a herculean task due to the reasons stated), but also tearing down the garbage config that it comes with all while fighting against the editor at every turn.

I'd rather deal with vim+terminal and not having everything perfectly integrated than spending 3-5 years in agony sorting out Emacs.
