Ofc… nobody surf on internet anymore.

Well... Coding was never the most part of work I spent time.

Congrats on your promotion to full time jira management!

very glib comment.

thinking about how to accurately describe the problem at hand and figuring out the simplest way to approach it takes a lot of effort well before you get to the implementation step of coding.

Exactaly. Some tasks took me hours or days to change a line.

That's why lobste.rs is a good plance, almost no AI.

There's loads of slop and slop enthusiasm on lobste.rs; the only difference is that they have a moderation policy which forbids the most egregious forms of advertising and astroturfing.

I learned how to program (& do CAD) with LOGO when I was 8 y'old.

Yes, protected the kids...

I don’t know… People says that I eat ice cream using the forehead

Besides youtube premium (because kid) and apple one (because icloud) I have no more subscriptions.

I love music and used to have Spotify, but I started to notice they started to remove tracks or entire albums from the catalog.

Now I buy online or rip my CDs, it’s much better and works offline.

In brazil we have pix with 0 fees.

Between individuals it is free. For commercial transactions, there is a fee between 0.22% and 0.33% per transaction, which is actually ~2x the fee of the Visa network (0.13%)! Visa is extremely efficient at moving money anywhere in the world.

Credit and debit card transactions have higher fees because unlike Pix, there is chargeback risk, and the the merchant and acquiring banks party to the transaction are compensated for the risk they assume in those transactions. Pix on the other hand is digital cash. When you spend it, it's gone. Unlike with chargebacks and disputes, there is no reliable mechanism to recover funds for goods not delivered.

I could imagine that Pix is still better for merchants if that is the final fee.

With Visa and Mastercard there are usually many additional actors that also take their share and drive the final fee up.
