Actually!

I went to the comments expecting some more jokes but found multiple dissertations instead wtf.

Fr tho basically what /u/AnimalsDream said

"I refuse to work in defense. I'd rather my work wasn't used to blow anyone up" is a line I've used in multiple job interviews. I like to think the hell I end up going to at least has chilly weather and/or really good AC.

I love how it's the people who know the most about how modern tech works that want nothing to do with 90% of it.

Also add Community to that list. Can't watch the DnD episode on Netflix anymore because there's a gag about Chang's unfortunate dark elf cosplay looking like black face.

Um, acksually, what you're referring to as Linux is in fact....

Yup, that's John Trak, the lead in Star Trak

Wtf windows search is so much snappier now!!!!

Thank you!

Thank you! Every time a story like this comes up, people seem to wanna pretend managing your own hardware is all sunshine and rainbows. Especially if you want global scale or as little down-time as possible, cloud provider's your best bet, albeit one where you have less control than you would with your own servers.

Opinion: You should be building on top of open source platforms and tools (Docker, Kubernetes if you need it...granted I'm not an expert in this area) to mitigate some of the vendor-lockin, and take a multi-cloud approach. If you're mainly hosting on GCP for example, host smaller deployments on AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, or something else as a contingency...eventuality you can also add or just move to your own servers relatively painlessly. Also AGGRESSIVELY backup up your database in multiple places.

That's actually the biggest thing I miss about VSCode

Holy crap I think that may be why I never used it. Fuck how much Windows likes to calls home

Global clipboard is chef's kiss. Back when I was on Ubuntu/Gnome, I had to install CopyQ but having one come with the OS is great
