That’s funny, I dislike Ruby for probably the same reasons you like it. I don’t want a language that’s clever or elegant, I want it to do exactly what I say and nothing else. Lower level just makes more sense to me, I’d be a shit & unproductive software engineer.

Thank you both for warning me against doing something like that.

Any way to read the article without the paywall?

Nah, the 25 has a stylus. The 24 didn’t. The 26 won’t either.

The archive link to the AI article is hilarious. It’s neither chronological order nor canonical order. It’s not even a comprehensive list, a bunch of stuff is missing. It’s just bullet points of some star wars media vaguely ordered.

Can’t wait for search results to become even more poisoned by this useless garbage!

I used to self host email and got sick of my emails never getting through. Email is federated in theory, but pretty centralized in practice. Paying for Proton was definitely worth it.

I’m not so sure. Anecdotally, lots of my friends stay up to date on news from various For You pages, or Instagram stories of orgs they follow. By being on this website you’re by definition someone who is active and selective about how they consume information, most people just consume what’s put in front of them.

Basically, it seems plausible to me. The headline is pretty trash though.

The actual data seems to suggest elder millennial, Gen X, and younger boomers do the best, while Gen z, younger millennial, and elder boomers do the worst. This kinda makes sense? The people that do the best have a frame of reference of traditional news media but also enough internet exposure to be familiar with the amount of bullshit out there. The people that do the worst have either limited familiarity with internet nonsense, or limited familiarity with traditional news media.
