There always will be a divide between those who use technology as a means to an end and those whose end is technology.
If you think I’m taking a “side” with that statement you’re the latter.
If you think that’s a dig at anyone it’s probably because you think people care what phone you have, or that I’m trying to sneakily insinuate that you’re not doing anything by installing another flavor of Linux so you can get your dock to line up perfectly the way you want it to.
If you think people care what phone you have it’s probably because you know people who do.
If you think you have to be around those people I’m here to tell you I don’t know anyone who cares about what phone I have.
Sometimes I can tell someone is having a shit day and I cheer them up by minding my own fucking business because that’s what works for me.
So you’re challenging me to tell you what I think of you doing what I suggested?
Sure. Like if you enjoy doing that stuff it would be totally worth it I’m sure.
There is a particular kind of person who prefers setup and config to doing anything with a computer, and it’s hard to hide my disdain for that sometimes but that doesn’t make it wrong. It also doesn’t mean I’m doing anything with a computer. We’re biased towards ourselves, I get that.
Like, we just put a dog down so I was thinking about my own mortality and how much time I have in life. It’s not a lot, and the idea of making sure an email address is functioning today sounds like hell.
I’m leaving the original statement up because I don’t think enough people walk back hasty statements online.
It sounds like a win win for you and I like that for you.
I print a few exceptional photos a month to save.
I sell my time for like $30/hr. How much money would self hosting cost me vs a data leak where my information was actually used? I have a feeling it’s more.
It’s a nice hobby and I’m sorry I ruffled feathers with my opinion.
You should live the life you imagine you’re protecting with all this security theater.
Does it have anything to do with the fact that most useful code that will be written has been written and most of the hard problems are now security related?
In addition, they’ve been telling people to learn to code long enough the upper hand devs used to have for salary negotiation is largely gone.
