I oscillate between using more functional paradigms and more object-oriented ones. is that normal?
I use a linter BTW(TypeScript) if that is a useful info.

I heavily use classes while working on back end, and when I’m making a really self-contained logic, such as a logger or an image manipulation service.
but since most frontend stuff heavily leans on functional side, I go with it

most of this “he’s a pos” comes from the misconceptions about him. he has a certain fixation to the vocabulary, and he often corrects others for it. then those people take the “attempt to correct” as “support” for the debate itself.

he wasn’t tone dead in that case you mentioned. he has since changed his thoughts about it.

Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.

Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically. This changed my mind about the matter: I think adults should not do that. I am grateful for the conversations that enabled me to understand why

you don’t have to go all in at once, mate. you can start by getting most important things in your control: your browser and search engine.
if you like the interface of Google chrome and can’t part away with it: use brave. else highly recommended to use Firefox.
if you just like Google search results, use startpage, else use duckduckgo or brave search.

these two things alone would make a meaningful difference.

then for neutering most of third party tracking: use a private DNS(I’d suggest nextdns). it’s just a "add a URL and forget about it’. it’ll stop the tracking significantly.

then you can continue by replacing other inconsequential stuff like Google notes(use Joplin), Google assistant(don’t use any of this “smart” crap), Google fit(just exercise regularly. you don’t need to micromanage it).

then next step would be to start making some tough decisions: replace the keylogger that is Google keyboard with it’s open source equivalent heliboard.

then eventually you can go hardcore and use Facebook and other crap on browser only.

so, all in all, even if you do only the first two(or just first) step, you’re already 50% there.

let me know in case you got any questions. and happy journey.

because they don’t serve you targeted ads. duckduckgo’s(and startpage’s) business model is keyword-based ads, for which they are getting plenty of revenue.
brave has other paid offerings like search without ads(premium), brave VPN, their own shitcoin(BAT) and so on.

as for the search results, I’m a software developer. most of the time I know what I am searching for, and I don’t want my search engine to go on overdrive and interpret it as something else. for me, duckduckgo is perfect. google, on the other hand, is worse for me for this and other reasons.
and there shouldn’t be much difference between duckduckgo and bing(sans account) since duckduckgo sources the results from bing.

I don’t know when did you last try duckduckgo, but I’ve been using it since 2015 and I’ve rarely been disappointed. in case i am missing on something, it’s just a !sp away(duckduckgo bangs).

whenever someone comes to me asking for help on windows, I first tell them straightway that windows is shit, and I know nothing about it. then I spend half an hour searching for answers to resolve the problem, only to curse it again and give up, before telling then again to use a better operating system(i.e., GNU/Linux).

lemmesay , 2 months ago

yes, I don’t want to be get “skilled” in a proprietary disservice.
and no, distributions like Debian GNU/Linux, or arch has far better documentation. the quality of documentation also matters. they may not have 100 different “run sfc scannow” websites, but they will have almost any problem you can find on good forums.

lemmesay , 2 months ago

yeah, my machines have been windows-free for almost a decade, and in the development field, I rarely see it. So, it’s alien and disorienting to me.
but even then my experience with windows has been less than optimal. I had to install many good services like henrypp’s simplewall just to stop windows from phoning home. not to mention removing other bloat.

with GNU/Linux, I know my machine will do nothing like that without my explicit permission.

I like this meme. it captures my thoughts about it as well. on the one hand, I don’t want non free firmware blob in my machine(which I don’t have :)), and on the other, it took me hours to get the right firmware on a relative’s laptop.
I personally would’ve liked a separate media with nonfree firmware blobs, but the voting on the matter rejected that idea.

lemmesay , 2 months ago

that’s one of the reasons why I disagree with people dunking on zuckerberg. they almost always make fun of his appearance.

it’s the ideas that matter, not the appearance.
