  • it’s an opinionated distro, man. /s

    When I had the intense displeasure to work on larger Ruby on Rails projects a few years ago I immediately knew something is off with this guy. His Holier-Than-Though-attitude is not only visible on his blog, but everywhere in the code. Like Omarchy, Rails is also opinionated from top to bottom and things start to go wrong as soon as you leave the DHH approved path. Which basically means, if you use the default configuration (aka Convention over Configuration) everything works fairly well. But as soon as you need to customize anything, things go terribly wrong. For example, DHH hates Javascript and therefore Rails has a grotesquely complicated wrapper that generates Javascript from Rails code. If you have a need to do integrate Javascript beyond that it quickly becomes Trainwreck on Rails.


  • “Mark Zuckerberg is realizing there’s a limit to ruthless efficiency”.

    Cost cutting is not synonymous with efficiency. It’s sad that a business focused magazine doesn’t see through the bullshit.

    • Losing 70+ billion on the failed VR experiment and laying off workers related to VR has zero to do with efficiency. It’s just stopping losses without having any other positive effects. No efficiency gain here because the whole thing is mothballed.
    • Putting AI bros in decision making positions and demoting highly payed engineers who actually know how the platform works to AI training babysitters: Not very efficient so far because the fuck ups are getting costly quickly.

    There is more, but why should I give a fuck about Meta. Let this dumpster fire burn.















  • You could still be identified by a lot of factors and the combination of those. IP address, email if provided, cookies + referrer on clicked links or loaded external images, browser fingerprint, clues from actual content in comments and posts, … It’s not that hard, a whole industry lives on this kind of surveillance data collection.
