Years ago on the facepunch studios forums, where people posted Garry's Mod addons and lua scripts and such, someone released a plugin titled "Anti-cheat plugin" and the source code simply looked up the geo info for your IP address and banned you if you were russian

Seems like WSL is much more fruitful for them. I don't think Windows is inherently doomed; if they just pulled their heads out of their asses and created a good native UI framework, stopped with all the telemetry shit, stopped with the ads, and stopped trying to look like macOS, then I think Windows would make a comeback. Windows is legitimately a good development platform for C++ and is increasingly good for web development via .Net and the tools that MS has put out like winget, windows terminal, and powershell core. I just think the product managers on the OS side of the company are talentless hacks

I work at a startup where I am increasingly given responsibilities, promotions, raises, and stock options (that I think will probably never be worth anything). I hate it so much. I don't want to be a project manager, I don't want to be in charge of a team, I don't want to tell people what they need to code. If these people were competent, then it would be easier because I wouldn't have to manage them as much, but many of them can barely write typescript. I just want to get tickets assigned to me, I code them, and I go home to work on my hobby projects. Business shit sounds like pure hell to me
