Counterpoint, unwarranted confidence has been one of the most destructive forces in human history.

Yeah, confidence being seen as almost universally good is a unique trait of America and other extroverted, individualistic cultures.

It's not a good thing on a societal level.


>Could be a volunteer at this point.

"we've promoted you to intern"


Ha, "Uber Eats" but you get to play with high voltage circuits, just take a picture of your certificate of electrical know-how with this app...

i've never thought of this before, that poverty makes other things more expensive.

Yeah, paying people to not be poor is actually not a bad idea.

It's really sad some people can't find employment more gainful than scrapping highway guardrails.


It sounds interesting but i think you should post a link to it.

The robot arms from decades ago look the same as todays, slightly different choice of colours but thats it.

>Isn't it the most damaging?

Depends on who you ask. I'd consider it damaging but nowhere near as damaging as X in recent times. And would consider FB worse that both for sheer the hysteria it generates in the old.


If you have a FlipperZero it has an IR port that could probably work for this too.

If you don't have a FlipperZero, don't get one for this. there are cheaper options.


BlueSky still good i guess.

>Can you name any other company that if they owned Chrome it would've been better for the users and the web?

Mozilla? Red Hat? Valve?


> Mozilla?

Already has a browser. With debatable success.

> Red Hat?

Would probably rather end up under the Linux Foundation and not RH. How development would then continue is up for debate.

> Valve?

They already use CEF for their Steam client IIRC, but I don't think they are too much interested in owning an entire browser. Especially considering Valve itself is a relatively small company emplyee wise.


Mozilla already owns a browser, and gets free money from Google to do that. Yet, they have been mismanaging the whole time.

What makes you think they'll suddenly do a good job when the funding goes away, and they have to now support a large userbase which pays $0 to use the product.


Mozilla would immediately go bankrupt because Google wouldn't have to sponsor them anymore.

Red Hat has been acquired and is already well underway on the enshitification road.

Browsers are way too far from Valve's core business.


Probably both really.
