What’s a Gboard

It’s not hard to imagine, and I think it’s time for that. I say this as an American citizen. This country does not deserve to be the dominant empire. I really don’t know who does though.

Permission granted. Where are you trying to go?

The brain drain is going to devastate science in the US for generations. Totally squandered in a matter of a couple years.

You get the fuck out of here with your level-headed reasoning, the torches are already lit and the pitchforks sharpened!

Apple does plenty of shitty shit but this isn’t much of anything. Go after labor conditions in China, piss on them for succumbing to the ads game. There are other real things to hold them accountable for.

Best for who?

For people who want a streaming box.

They insist upon themselves

Hate to break it to you, but AppleTV really is the best option.

I haven’t tried it, but I would think that running something shitty like a Roku but gating it with a pi-hole would be reasonable. You just have to make sure that there’s no open networks within reach (neighbors, etc).

That’s ALL he had to do!

and then everybody clapped

In addition to the great advice in this thread, as a dev you were probably working in one stack for those 7 years. When that happened to me, I realized that my skills were out of date. So I did some leetcode grinding to get current. Also, lots of jobs use leetcode-type screenings now, so best to get proficient there. It sucks but that’s the way it is now.

Gather ‘round kids, time for a story. The year was 2003, and TiVo had defined the category of DVRs and instantly become indispensable. People loved that they could fast-forward through commercials, much to the chagrin of networks and advertisers.

But a new competitor entered the scene: ReplayTV, a product that did everything TiVo did with one major added benefit: it automatically detected and skipped commercials without having to press a button. It was glorious. So naturally, like all things which improve the life of a consumer, the powers-that-be took umbrage. Funded by TiVo lobbying, the FCC decided that not having to press a button on a remote was a bridge too far. ReplayTV was crushed by a heavy fine and ban, relegating them to the tech scrap heap. Thus TiVo maintained their position as market leader, despite having an inferior experience.

All this to say: fuck you TiVo, you wasted your brand clout and position by getting into bed with the same lawmakers who fomented your demise when the HD era was legislated to ban commercial-skipping mechanisms.

Same goes for getting over other fears. That huge roller coaster is a feat of engineering and thousands upon thousands of people before you rode it just fine. Going to that strange country is easy; so many people live there just fine.

ngl that looks like a pretty amazing place to live. Love that look

I just think it’s a hilarious illustration of how dumb trump is and use it to remind people of that.

They used to refuse access to people’s private when the govt/law enforcement requested it unnecessarily. They are supposed to be the customer-centric company who doesn’t have government contracts. Steve famously contributed to progressive causes.
