This is really wholesome. Also, this is what social media ought to be, not what it is.

Yes, but that is the problem of politicians. Regular people like you or me can safely ignore public opinion. Because we know how dumb public is.

That comes from dishonest politicians and media, who twist things for their benefit. They frame certain acts like they are coming for your 2 chickens, when in reality, they are coming for a rich fucks’ 100000 chickens. Such people have a vested interest in fooling the people with 2 chickens. Hence, they campaign by equating such measures with ‘scary’ words like ‘communism’. Propaganda works. These kinds of tricks are bread and butter of advertising industry. So why not politicians and media?

What I mean is taking the opinion of the public seriously. I mean, people believe in a lot of weird things and that includes me. As an example, lot of people are anti-vaxxers, that doesn’t actually make vaccines dangerous. Should their opinion matter? If so, how much?

I think the quote is meant to consider that sometimes we must ignore public opinion and do what is right. But, I agree some nuance could be lost. But sadly, the quote has no context because it is from a list of quotes Oscar Wilde wrote. Maybe, we should supply our own nuance.?

I always keep saying " You cannot plan your way out of a system built on broken fundamentals." Microservices has it’s use case, but not every web app needs to be one. Too many buzzwords floating around in tech, that promise things that cannot be delivered.

“Public opinion exists only where there are no ideas.”- Oscar Wilde.

I think public opinion is overrated. Too many fools in the public. Just look at MAGA idiots in US.

Turning everything you use into a fucking ads platform is peak capitalism. Burn it with fire.

So the execs make wrong decisions and employees pay the price. A story as old as the fucking capitalism. Fuck WB.

If I am buying top of the line GPU just to use upscalers,I am the biggest fool of all. Upscalers should be used to extend the life of older GPUs, not an excuse to poorly optimize the games. Man, what an ass backward industry is AAA games industry han become.

Bosses love to think that they know it all, but they operate on limited info like everybody else. This just shows how stupid it is to work hard for a job, when everything is based on impressions and not on any kind of objective measures.
