Yeah, I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. Everything you said is true, and respectful.

I think open-ended can be okay, so long as there are milestones we can achieve (i.e. try different things out to see what works and what doesn’t). Something as big as the environment, health/safety, and not completely alienating industries (as much as I hate to say it, we do need them and their resources to an extent), is not something that is going to be easily solved without compromise.

I expect that my last two points will not win me any popularity contests, but they cannot be ignored.

Gotta start somewhere, and gotta keep at it. It’s difficult at times, and there certainly are people who just want to see the world burn. But fuck them. They aren’t worth our time and energy.

Yes, but there are a few of us out there who want to see good things happen for all people.

For what it’s worth, it’s not anti anything to point out flaws. If anything, it’s being pro because it opens the door for a conversation; which, if both sides come at it in good faith, can lead to change.

Color me curmudgeon, but automated dependency updates should never be a consideration.

Also, one thing I do like that Github does is that it can be configured to send you a report of dependency changes (in yarn, for example).

Who had Justice by Sheer Stupidity on their Bingo card for 2025?

Correct me if I’m mistaken, but it sounds like you’re saying we shouldn’t merely because we might have better tech in the future?

That, to me, is a bleak and defeatist mentality that will only hold us back from achieving greater things. Who knows what we could learn before we create better tech? What if we learned how to build the better tech on the back of what we build today? In fact, isn’t that what drives innovation (i.e. iteration)?

~At this point, I’m not suggesting you’re wrong, but merely verbalizing a concern of mine.~

It’s that very last one that concerns me. It feels like the drive that got us to the moon, and put Voyager out there deep into the cosmos, is nearing gone for one reason or another.

I agree. But Veeger is the OG.

That said, do you think we could build something like this again that would last for almost 50 years?

~They don’t make them like they used to to.~

Strong as a bumblebee

Isn’t it “strong as he can be”? 😂

Despite being almost a half-century old and flying through the incredibly cold, radiation-saturated depths of space at the edge of the solar system, it still continues to function and NASA is determined that it will continue to do so until its nuclear power source finally gives out in the next year or so.

This is sad. I know nothing lasts forever, but only one more year? 😢

As a GenX (xennial actually), no… GenX needs to start being held accountable for the all the shit going on in this world. They are not above reproach, and it’s high time we all call them out on their narcissistic bullshit.

I don’t typically do this, but this would be much better if a rooster was poking its head out of Trump’s mouth.

We are the aliens abducting them for probing. I wonder how many fish try to warn their friends and family, just to be shunned as a drunkard crackpot instead.

Ironically they are making it much more difficult to consume by making wages stagnant, while increasing inflation. I can’t wait for it to backfire on them.

Is it me or does Trump look like he wants to suck a dick right now?

Thank you. 🙏

Nothing will get better.

Out of the loop and I’m not creating a bluesky account for that link. What’s the context?
