I'm really sad that he has become the villain of conspiracy theories.

he's a piece of shit that sat on his horde of cash instead of pushing forward on civilization defining projects like space exploration

not to mention his "charity" has actually increased suffering in africa massively due to causing half a BILLION children to be born there in that shithole dark continent. he should be arrested for that alone.

I like musk 100x more than I like him

>>212390310
'liking' either is retarded, especially as a usa man
musk is your enemy because he wants to use his money to jeetify your country. and in a country like yours where money runs all politics he'll probably create the jeet party and win 1/3 the seats in the next election

>>212390536

Linux beats both of them.

He also sells them toxic vaccines that are banned in the US and uses his "charities" to corrupt governments

humaity will never escape the milky way, retard. Musk gonna send a few retards who will end up dying miserably to establish a le quirky mars colony for his billionaire friends who will stay there for less than an hour

I am indian. we are one of the only good immigrant groups in the USA. I don't care to hear your whiny ass excuses otherwise. fuck off.

>>212390564
It's a choice. Gates has so many random things now. He's retired but not really. He's a real life mister Rogers nerd

>>212390310
>pushing forward on civilization defining projects like space exploration
How is this pushing civilization forwards? The end goal of all these space programs is to leave the Earth behind as we continue to trash it and leave in uninhabitable. We aren't meant to live on another planet breathing artificial air, we're meant to live here.

*For now*

ok vscode was -decent- as of the time when it was released. but still not enough to be in the -good- category.

the only reason i have it installed is it's popularity means a lot of plugins,tutorials are for it. but there are better programs that do it's task whether you want to go the bloated route (jetbrains) or the fast route (zed editor)

You didn't need to clarify that, we already knew

What good has he done?
Microsoft is a piece of shit company
Africa is a bigger than ever, ie. a bigger problem than ever.

>>212390639
he's Indian American. Not a sir. We like them.

>We like them

>>212390310
This 100%

>>212390614
Musk also solves Earth's problems with his electric cars, grid scale better storage, house-scale battery storage and solar panels.

>>212390718
We like Indian Americans. If they are American first we like them it's just like everyone else.

>>212390602
theres no such thing as a good immigrant group, people who dont belong in a country shouldnt be there,priod.

all im saying is if i was usa i'd hate musk with a burning passion. but im not so i do love him mostly for pushing orbital launch tech faster than anyone ever has. these are the most important advancements of our time

>>212390746
>pushing orbital launch tech faster than anyone ever has
this is my exact point
electric cars would have virtually no marketshare today without him
space exploration would be basically a decade or more behind today without him

he is a visionary in a way that gates could never be. in the end all of gates charity will have a negative effect. it's a pretty sad legacy overall

>>212390691
>indian

SAAAAAAAAR

I'm white. We like Indian immigrants. I don't know what you are going on about.

musk will make india a superpower we already have more billionaires then any other country
the future is indian

>>212390602
You commit white collar crimes, introduce racist hiring practices (only hiring other Indians regardless of merit), smell and are brown. You get some points for being rich (no doubt in part because of the above) but you're not a "good" immigrant group like Koreans or Britishers in my book.

>>212390746
>there is no good immigrant group
If I could import 1 000 000 of the average Japanese people as immigrants into my country I would do it immediately.

>>212390310
Stop counting other people’s money, its loser mentality.

>>212390845
>>electric cars would have virtually no marketshare today without him
tesla pioneered a lot of shit but cars switching to LI-ION was basically inevitable since the 90s. EVs would be popular with or without him. same with paypal and he had an even smaller role in that one.

the one big, impressive thing he did which pushed tech forward more than anything else is assembling the team that wrote the falcon 9 fight control software. like 30 dudes who wrote the C++ program running on the rocket that controls it and lands the booster back.

>>212390310

>introduce racist hiring practices (only hiring other Indians regardless of merit)
that's not quite true - and to the extent that it is, is it actually worse than other races?

indians practice co-ethnic hiring / ethnic nepotism about as much as the taiwanese and japanese do.
are you also mad at them?

what's actually happening here is angry assholes are looking for an issue that doesn't actually exist.

I know very, VERY few indian americans like me who work primarily with other indians. that's more a first gen fresh off the boat thing. No indian kid growing up in the USA would want to work at some sweatshop like infosys or TCS.

>>212391377
any action can be judged, especially on the scale of musk or gates. they have made choices on how to spend their money, we might as well talk about the outcomes

I'm not saying we should be crying about how billionaires spend their money, I don't even really care about that. Purely comparing two capital intensive projects (spaceX vs Gates Foundation's charity work) I think the impact of SpaceX will be far greater while gates foundation might actually be a net negative.

>>212391463
AGI and digital consciousnesses WILL be created
the human race WILL become interplanetary
we WILL have colonies on the moon and mars by the end of your lifetime

whether you like it or not, technology and humanity will advance faster than you can imagine, hollywood isn't going far enough.

>vscode was -decent- as of the time when it was released
Microsoft created the LSP and vs code was the first to use it. It's more than decent. Not a fan of Microsoft, most of their products are shit but vs code is an exception to the rule.

>>212391825
thanks I didn't know that
but I like to use emacs with LSP

>>212391563
there is literally zero practical value in colonizing any celestial object except maybe if the moon has Helium-3 or some shit. Mars? Mars is a thousand times worse than any place on earth, if you want to live in a hostile desert you can live on antartica, which at least has air. Resources? The cost of shipping to/from mars is so fantastically high the only thing with a worse return on investment would be synthesizing gold in a particle accelerator. In addition to this, if you EVER colonize any other planet in a manner where they are self-sufficient and can export resources, they're going to secede and so there's not even any point in sending other people there to live shit lives and die for you in the martian mines. Extraplanetary colonization is just a fanciful sci-fi concept like warp speed or time travel

>>212391907
>but I like to use emacs with LSP
Why? I was forced to use emacs when I did my CS degree and it's a bloated mess.

>>212391961
where should humanity go in the next 100, 200, 1000 years? if humanity was operating at full capacity, and could accomplish everything in your wildest dreams... what would we do?

>>212392354
sir you are brainwashed

>>212391825
ok they created ONE good thing by mistake with the language server thing
it's still bloated and slow af for what it does

>>212392721
>it's still bloated and slow af for what it does
I agree that it's bloated, but at least it's not a mess like emacs. And the extensions ecosystem is great. You don't need your editor to be a race car, vs code is fast enough.

>>212393180
having stuff happen instantly like in vim is super nice but i cba to remember the keybinds every time i dont use it for a while

>>212393259
>having stuff happen instantly like in vim is super nice
This is masturbatory, any productivity gains are eaten up by having to learn and relearn vim key bindings.

>>212392721
>>212393180
honestly I've used all three OS's extensively and there are things I like and don't like about all of them

I use windows now because I no longer have the privilege of caring so much about aesthetics. Windows just works in a way that macOS and debian with GNOME never will. And that isn't to say that windows *cannot* be aesthetic.

Aesthetically? Debian with GNOME was the absolute king. such a clean and functional OS. If I just needed a computer for using the browser I would absolutely use that.

MacOS was great for web and iOS development. it's just so simple to get a clean macbook and get started on some cursor / vs code project immediately. I like the unix filesystem.

But now? I am at a point in my life where I need to use simulation software like OpenFOAM, I need to use unreal engine and blender and all the plugins that both require, I need to use software that is often only built for windows. I also enjoy being able to play video games occasionally. So it's just common sense for me to stay on windows.

here are some packages I recently downloaded, fluidflux and ultradynamicsky. Can I do this so easily on mac or linux? fuck no.

>>212393365
not really you just gotta use it consistently for a while. instant interactions are far more than 'masturbatory' it gives you a much better flow when doing shit , not having to wait for some toolbox or for the terminal panel to open.

>>212393441
why specifically debian and gnome. i think gnome with extensions has everything you might need and if it doesnt just go kde

>>212390310
>sat on his horde of cash
>charity in africa
choose one
unironically, he pours morbillions into africa because unitedstatians dont suffer as much as the rest of the world and growing up he was taught the morality that the people who suffer the most deserve relief first. and hes actually not that competent at running a charity
