All bluetooth headphones should work.
Yes, the linux kernel will work! I'd say it's even more likely that wifi, soundcard, etc. work without any problems than if you'd buy a bleeding edge laptop (although these mostly also just work nowadays). The oldest machine I've got is a laptop from 12 years ago which easily runs modern linux, but even much older machines shouldn't have a problem with that, at least not with the kernel.
PHP is a shit language, but far from dead. There are too many legacy killer apps that are used A LOT and won't be rewritten in a different language anytime soon. E.g. Wordpress, Mediawiki (The engine behind wikipedia and other wikis), Nextcloud, Typo3, ...
Yes, I also noticed that, wondering if I've read the same issue a second time.
I can't help you but I just came here to say that I also very much dislike the trend that everything has to look flat. Imho visual, simulated depth (through shadows, gradients, etc.) can make UIs look actually much cleaner, because hierarchy, grouping of elements and differentiation between buttons/text inputs and non-interactive elements is often much more obvious on first sight.
If jetbrains is that much better really depends on the language. Also, jetbrains shit is damn expensive, so not a fair comparison.
Considering what the device on the left is capable of compared to the device on the right, the cable management on the left suddenly looks very elegant and efficient.
Some amount of inflatable tires will always be needed and used. Sure, the vast majority of them are also unnecessary, because most cars are, but humanity will obviously always need some vehicles that transport stuff efficiently without tracks. Bicycle tires also use similar materials.
Plastic straws are still very harmful for many sea animals and are apart from that entirely unnecessary (unlike tires).
Actually it's even worse: Capi Simps believe if they work hard enough, they will become bourgeoise themselves. Pretty pathetic.
I don't understand what's not realistic about expecting from a company that markets itself as privacy focused to not add surveillance fascist services to their website. It's not like they demand system76 to implement something crazy difficult. Quite the opposite, they just want them to not do something. That shit doesn't add itself to a website. So just don't fucking do it and you're good. What's unrealistic about that?
Seriously though, why? Is there historic reasons for that? Did they have to pay extra for more letters back in the day?
To me it seems like the internet is full of JS apologists. Maybe it's just YouTube xD
JS is horse shit. Instead of trying to improve it or using that high level scripting language as a compilation target (wtf?!), we should deprecate it entirely and put all efforts into web assembly.
In the large yearly stack overflow survey it has been the "most loved programming language" for the past 8 years in a row and at the moment its admiration is only growing. I don't see anything stop this streak anytime soon. For good reasons.
The fact that this is not satire about conservatives ridiculous fever dreams, but a serious depiction of one, makes it really damn funny :'D
I'm not talking about companies that use windows vs companies that use mac but about the systems themselves. It's very possible that most companies that use macs are generally better equipped, treat their devices better, upgrade more often, etc.. But that's a correlation, not a causation. You are right about the quality baseline because apple forces them to buy very specific hardware. But if they'd instead spend the same money for a windows machine and set it up decently, I would prefer that by a lot. MacOS is just terrible. It's less keyboard friendly, always messy, forces users into a overpriced and shitty proprietary lock-in ecosystem, etc.
I'm not sure how long I'll say that though since microsoft really manages to make windows so much worse with every version they release, it has also reached a barely usable state to be honest.
I care about freedom. In that regard, mac is easily the worst of the three. Also, it kinda combines the downsides of both:
I hate windows with a passion but would take it anytime if mac would be the only other option.
Ibm replaces COBOL: Great idea
... with Java: Questionable idea
... using an LLM: Exceptionally bad idea
This is brilliant! So few people get that. Also, polititians love to claim than public investments lead to inflation because of increasing state "dept". This has been disproven and you'll hardly find a serious economist claiming it since it's much more complex than that and depends on the kind of investment and political rules of course. But by claiming this, the public seems even more dependant on the extremely rich, because they are the only ones capable of investing (and thus earning). And it's a great argument for cutting any kind of social service. I think biden is a positive exception at the moment when it comes to this principle, but here in germany it is disastrous what the government does (and especially doesn't do) because of austerity that is proven to be harmful so many times just to keep up this lie about inflation and public dept that our children would have to pay back (bullshit!).
