In 2003, it was my dream to play FF7 in Linux. In 2019, my dream came true. Thanks Proton, Codeweavers, Wine, Valve, et al for helping me finally put down Sephiroth right.

Agreed, good tools can be used badly. Over the years I've written Java, C++, and PHP professionally, and I've seen excellent and horrible impls in each. Today, I mostly use Java and this thread is reminding me that I need to learn a new for-fun language.

I've tried to keep an open mind about AI as a tool. Humanity has lots of problems and maybe AI is necessary to share a planet with 8 billion people. That said, the people blindly embracing AI seem to miss the fact that they're controlled by large corporations motivated by profit not benevolence.

Agreed. Clinton Blowout mentality was a contributing factor to 2016. America may never recover if Trump wins again.

That's a great analogy. TV dinners, while presentable at first glance, are both low effort and not that great.
