I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention this could easily work both ways and someone could talk to THEM.

Let me check between my couch cushions…

Yesssssss?

“Look, we don’t need to use Photoshop for our shop. There’s an open source option that matches our use case perfectly.”

“What’s it called?”

“Gnu Image Manipulation Program.”

“That’s an awfully long name. They should have a shorter one that’s less of a mouthful to say.”

“…they do not.”

Do you have any idea how much hot coffee shooting through a nose hurts?

I hold you responsible, degen.

Not enough. It’s why they all need so many fucking resources and why you need to spend $1500 on a video card for a game that could run on a 15 year old GeForce if the developers put any effort into optimizing anything.

The “enlightened” will tell you to use whatever you’re productive with…

…but the real answer is “anything that isn’t written in Electron and has no telemetry”.

Because what used to be a native application that used 200 mb of RAM now needs to be a web application built on top of a browser using 4 gb of RAM to do the exact same task.

I will honest to God pick fucking Eclipse over VS Code every single day, because at least it runs natively.

It’s hard for the younger generation to understand, but 4 Gb of RAM is MORE than enough for 99% of tasks if your software isn’t written by lazy idiots.

I look forward to my $3 payout 15 years from now.

My empathy for this view dies on shit that impacts you every single day of your life. At that point it’s not a bit of information you just haven’t needed yet - it’s willful ignorance that I’m not giving you a pass on.

How long do I need to watch people crap themselves before I’m allowed to demand they learn to use a toilet?

Skill my foot. If any of my technology is compatible with Apple tech, I’ll intentionally break it until it isn’t.
