> A young programmer asked if he should go work for DOGE, or whether it would end in disaster. I told him that it would at least be interesting, and that if he was worried it would end in disaster, that was all the more reason to take the job. Maybe he could help prevent that.

I guess this aged like Windows Me

Interesting story, but I'm surprised the OP would disable Cmd-z because that is used all the time with vim

I know you might prefer to run a shell on emacs (or vim) but something only the full terminal can do what you need it to do

> but something only the full terminal can do what you need it to do

There's always `M-x term` for a full terminal.

The list of things emacs users don't get seems to get longer per day so I'm not surprised at the reaction OP got, just disappointed

(but I still think this is on nginx more than emacs - unless they really mean foo~ and not .foo~ )

> The list of things emacs users don't get seems to get...

There are a ton of Emacs users, and it's doesn't make much sense to talk about them as a group like that, no more than if I were to say, "The list of things Windows users don't get..."

Also sounds like an LLM wrote it (the original message)

I don't think MacOS OoMs as Linux

(and to be honest the way Linux does acts on OoMs are quite debatable)

macOS can OOM, ish.

If you don't have any more disk space for swap, or memory pressure gets too high, you get the "You've ran out of application memory" dialog box with a list of applications you can force quit, and macOS leaves it up to the user on what to kill instead of the system choosing automatically.

Google Docs might handle 50% of people who use Office, but I doubt if it handles 25% of Office use cases. Few use every feature of Office but someone uses every feature of Office and all those power user cases that are different can’t be handled by Google Docs. Or even Web Office.

Well, last I checked most people don't work for MS so I reckon their experience might be a bit different

And it still pings, of course

Of course.

If there's one point where OSS stands like a sore thumb (derogatory) is in everything that makes it welcoming to general users

Usability. Focus. Heck, even this strawberry of a low hanging fruit like the name cannot be solved by a nerd committee apparently.

Then honestly you can't complain when people don't use your sw

but was GitLab sold? I don't think so

So, what does Block actually do?

Square point of sale payment processing for businesses, Afterpay BNPL, and then the consumer side CashApp business. And Tidal Music streaming for some reason.

They hire people, and then they fire them!

CashApp

Square is still a much, much bigger portion of the business than CashApp.

    Square’s ecosystem is expected to contribute $1.77 billion, while Cash App is expected to provide $58.3 million to transaction revenues.
