By the way, I still think this paragraph I wrote is a pretty good paragraph.
@rmondello people are just insane sometimes. Keep your head up
Windows users gutting 80% of their operating system for a few extra frames in CSGO:
@skyeweeb paid internships exist
@skyeweeb perhaps look into an internship. It’s not a bulletproof solution nor is it like a replacement for a real job but you will get paid, it’s easier to get in, and you can put it on your resume for jobs later and it will help!

Microsoft will soon cut off Windows 10 security updates, and says "up yours" to people with (somewhat) older computers who would happily use Windows 11, but now will be blocked

Intel and AMD appreciate this very much.

If you aren't ready to put your older but working-fine computer in a landfill, and further pollute the planet, you have a better option:

It's easier than ever to install and use Ubuntu or Mint or some other Linux system.

Microsoft closes the door on Windows 11 supporting older hardware

Microsoft makes it clear that TPM 2.0 is a core requirement for Windows 11 and future versions. It has closed the door on hopes of lower hardware requirements.

The Verge
@ipg People with above average computer experience but not enough to fully diagnose problems proceeding to "optimize" their system by disabling random background services that they don't think they need

It's gonna be real annoying to be a programmer once we've invented time travel, what with the future selves showing up all the time demanding answers.

Mainly about what the code does, how it works, why did you do it this way, why is this breaking this way, help me debug it, and so on.

@eniko you are going to have to make your own printing mechanism like Apple did with Core Foundation to deal with this in objective C and C

@eniko I’m sure many a dozen libraries for that exist but then you have to learn that library.

I know the current C standards committee is trying to think of a solution but they haven’t been able to agree to one.
