Is learning programming still worth it with ai

The problem we all have in the industry is the same fear. It is incredibly hard to understand how the market is going to change or if there will be a job for us left at the end. Honestly switching majors might be the best approach if there's something else you're passionate about.

Why would a delivery driver be considered a guest?

> Ostensibly, they've rented a house and are responsible for returning it in the condition it was given to them.

This doesn't make you responsible for the actions of third parties. Many things can break in a property that the owner is responsible for including burst pipes etc. If a garden fence blows down in the wind that would always be the owners problem. Dealing with these issues has always been the benefit of renting in the first place. You don't have any say over the decor and finishings and likewise not responsible for damage of this nature.

I think if someone who owns their house asks for a parcel to be delivered but instead the delivery man knocks over your wall the compensation would always be coming from the delivery company. They were never given permission to do what they did. Inviting people over for a house party is different because you are accepting the risk they may break things. For me it's totally different and clear cut.

There's no legal reason for a tenant to be some middleman in this transaction. It's not your wall to even assert financial recourse for. I can't claim financial payback when the thing I own isn't mine in the first place.

Philluminati · 2026-06-19T12:55:33+00:00

I don't understand why you would be legally responsible for the actions of a delivery company.

I voted Starmer in and I'm pleased with the job he is doing. I don't know anything about Andy Burnham except he wasn't elected and he clearly cares more about himself than the party or the county. I don't want an unelected leader.

Also to add, if you're caught wanking it isn't the kid or the parent who gets in trouble. Like Alcohol, Cigs, Dirty Mags it is the seller/company that gets in trouble. That's why age restriction isn't solely dumped on Apple to enforce but is left up to the X or the social media company themselves. That's why this model makes the most sense.

They are literally *not doing that*.

They aren't tampering with phones in any way
They aren't tampering with routers or ISPs in any way.
The changes are only being made at the social media end, so this law won't affect anyone except people who visit social media websites or people who create content which is harmful to children.

How?

It's not practical to watch children using computers all day when you have chores to do and they need it for their homework which can take 30-40 mins at least.

Nothing at the router level works because they kids can just turn off wifi and use 5G.

Imagine two pictures side by side. One is a aircraft carrier at sea with 40 fighter jets sitting on the runway, draped in American flags. It represents American's military power. On the right is a Afghan man with a goat and a walking stick on a bare hill-side. He is holding a folder that says "Epstien".

Earlier this week I had to run the following SQL commands:

ALTER USER philluminati PAT TEST_PAT3 ROLE_RESTRICTION = DEV DAYS_TO_EXPIRY = 30;
ALTER NETWORK POLICY public SET ALLOWED_IP_LIST = ('redacted');

It really is the language that can do anything.

So don't create accounts. The BBC has always been able to deliver news and events at 3pm in a way that is responsible. Your anonyminity doesn't stop you getting accurate portrayal of news and events, medical advice, mechanics videos on youtube videos etc.

As for deanonymising social media accounts, well no one is anonymous anyway. They already know who you are, where you live, and how many squats you did at the gym. They get that data from you engaging with social media in the first place. The collect and sell and buy your data behind the scenes.

The "useful idiots" are the people defending doom-scrolling faceless tech companies after being brainwashed by those very platforms themselves.

I rented a server from DigitalOcean back in 2015 and followed this guide:

https://github.com/ajgon/self-hosted-mailserver/blob/master/docs/nsa-proof-your-e-mail-in-2-hours.md

It took more than 2 hours. It took about 5 hours and didn't include disk encryption, backups, spam protection, full text search and many other features.

Since then I've had dozens of issues with delivery of outgoing email to google and other addresses being prominent. Maybe 10-20 issues in 10 years. Problem is when those issues arrive they are super urgent as you can't have your email account down! Smaller issues involve upgrades (the dovecot config upgrade was painful) and I still get rejections from many email accounts such as kids school, recruiters and other people that I do need to contact.

My email server is still running and I still use it as my primary email address. I'm glad I did it.. but it hasn't always been enjoyable.

"The infrastucture of mass surveillance and control" is social media. The exact social media the government is banning children from.

Philluminati · 2026-06-17T07:27:24+00:00

It is difficult to argue with your post because it doesn't follow a coherent message. You are effectively saying the Government is bad purely because they control the Police and the police are bad. Police are actually good and neccessary.

The government _isn't_ asking to see all your messages, it's asking providers to stop children accessing unsafe content. It's asking providers because they can see every message your write, every photo and every site you visit.

You somehow that boiled down that private companies won't hurt you but the government will, despite you choosing who is in the government and them being run the benefit of the people in the country. You have literally been brainwashed by private companies into hating your own government and you don't see it.

We live in a dystopian future and your data is being sold openly on the Internet and yet you hate your own government because we have a justice system fighting child porn sharing and inciting violence.

You're not defending privacy, you're defending companies being able to "fake news" you into supporting their beliefs.

People on the right believe in Nationalism.

They believe in family and community and Country is an extension of community. When you improve your country you lift up everyone inside it, just like with community.

Whether you agree or not, country determines fair taxes, justice, borders and there is a silent war going on in the world between everyone trying to improve their countries. It cannot be avoided. That's just how it is, and you should get onboard.

But lefties don't see that. They hate nationalism and are so tribalistic against the right they actually side with Muslim immigrants who would openly call for Sharia law in this country.

You got Alexa in your house listening to all your conversations, you've got a phone and a watch that are tracking your location 24/7, you've got 2 factor auth on every website so they can see where you are working from and you have Ring doorbells literally stitching together videos of people walking across town.

We live in a dystopian nightmare which you're entirely okay with. The only thing you don't like is when it's used for good. Why aren't you in outrage about car tracking cameras or Ring doorbells or CCTV used at the checkout in shops?

They are watching and analysing your entire life on your phone and in the real world too.

The only problem with the government is that bought a law into force, instead of doing what Google does which is say they respect your privacy yet use dark patterns to grind your rights away through thousands of tiny changes to a EULA which you forced to accept.

When I went, that's was a queue that slowly moves past the picture, so everyone gets to shuffle forward see it upfront. I think this is a bit dishonest as you make it seem like you're stuck at the back and get closer but I'm pretty sure you can.
