Depends on the type of dev you’re doing.

Homebrew. Through homebrew: vscode,iterm2, Firefox, virtual box and/or vmware fusion, colima + docker, vagrant, pyenv, jenv, direnv, nodenv, bash, zsh + oh-my-zsh +powerlevel10k, tmux+byobu, coreutils

Usenet pros:

• not p2p so no real chance of getting busted
• max out your bandwidth the whole time you’re downloading
• no need to seed, no ratios, etc
• Cheap AF

Usenet cons:

• Files aren’t forever. Servers do delete content after some time so search results aren’t always available on your server
• Usenet servers, especially in the US, are pretty responsive to DMCA demands
• Not free
• Complexity of setup (Sab + Arrs) are a barrier to entry
• Public nzb search engines aren’t always going to have what you need. Private search engines are usually invite only and/or cost money per year
• Far less variety for niche stuff than torrents (imo, ymmv)

The same can be said of lemmy, mastodon or any publically accessible forum

With bluesky ,the sign up has a section where you choose a server. The bluesky server is prefilled. Otherwise you add your own.

But not having that default option and instead having to have the user go research and figure out which server to use is an immediate turn off.

I’ve never seen an illuminated logo from manufacturers other than those I’ve listed. Large, sure. Though some like Kia or Hyundai I haven’t seen get huge. Honda, maybe?

“African American culture is the antithesis to your argument. Even the most wealthy individuals sporting logos of all kinds, literally as status symbols.”

Really you’re describing the difference between striking it rich and generational wealth.

“Free”

The amount of money that those conferences cost my job and the amount of time I spend blocking cold calls from vendors that gave me shwag…

I find the same to be true when people buy cars with illuminated insignia in the grill. Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, for example.

Going on Twitter to complain that your bigotry wasn’t well received and then suggesting that Qatar funding is partially to blame is peak irony

Yeah the differentiation is the trick.

How does one engage sometime who thinks that Harris is literally the antichrist?

Whole i agree with most of your comment, I’m not really reading any solutions. I’d my attitude is the problem, what’s the proper attitude to have to deal with these imbeciles?
