  • That’s not Amazon’s fault.

    That’s mostly the fault of consumers who buy from Amazon (and other e-tailors).

    There’s quite a few retail stores that don’t keep inventory, even for common things. Staples comes to mind, where it feels like half their damn office items aren’t in stock, so you need to wait for them to have it brought in.

    The problem is that those same retail stores can’t compete with Amazon’s shipping speed. It becomes a case of:

    • I want to buy a thing, I need it fast, so I guess I’ll check my local retails stores
    • My local retail stores don’t have it in stock, but I can order it and it’ll be there in 4-5 days
    • I can just buy it off of Amazon at a comparable price, and have it tomorrow

    It’s alright if they don’t want to carry inventory, but they need to have the shipping speeds to compete, otherwise there’s no reason for the consumer not to just buy it off of Amazon directly.





  • Depends on the features.

    Git has some counterintuitive commands for some commands you may want to do when you want to quickly do something. Being able to click a button and have the IDE remember the syntax for you is nice.

    Some IDEs have extra non-native Git features like have inlined “git blame” outputs as you edit (easily see a commit message per-line, see who changed what, etc.), better diff/merge tooling (JetBrain’s merge tool comes to mind), being able to revert parts of the file instead of the whole file, etc.

    the git integration in vscode which I discarded after few attempts to use

    I’m going to be honest, I don’t really like VS Code’s Git integration either. I find it clunky and opinionated with shitty opinions.




  • While I agree with most of what you’re saying, it’s also stupid to blame Microsoft for breaking your computer if you forcefully uninstall the Windows store, despite the fact that it’s needed for parts of certain updates.

    A lot of the “debloaters” have no fucking idea what they’re actually doing and are uninstalling/disabling critical parts of the OS so the task manager shows less RAM usage (because God forbid you actually use your damn RAM).







  • Yeah, if you listen to any content creator talk about sponsorship revenues it basically eclipses all other form of revenue for them.

    I think it was Pokimane who got tired of people donating money and then being assholes if she wasn’t basically gushing over them for hours, so she just went “You know what, I don’t actually need your Twitch dontations.” and just turned them off.

    Content creators make thousands of dollars per sponsorship deal minimum if they have a decent amount of viewers. Bigger creators like Ludwig get millions for some deals (Redbull gives him a crapload of money for product placement, for example).
