  • It is, but WSL is also pretty much shit.

    I’ve been maining Windows with WSL at work, and it works great, till it doesn’t. And then it just sucks, and sucks, and sucks.

    Almost always has to do with processes on WSL.not being killed by connectors to their windows counterparts. And docker desktop, holy hell, docker desktop and WSL just love to turn WSL into sludge.

    I’ve been fighting with it for years, WSL is an awesome idea, it works great when it works. But as soon as you out real development loads onto it it just folds.












  • Pretty much.

    I’ve started using AI on a project last week and the first thing I do is write tests. Lots of tests.

    With enough guardrails, you could actually get pretty decent quality output out of it and with enough regression tests, you can ensure that nothing’s actually breaking.

    Similarly, reviewing its changes and actually reading the code that’s being generated to ensure correctness is necessary. However, I am finding ways to automate that and reduce the incident rate of problems to even lower than my co-workers.


  • That’s an abysmally bad idea. This would be a wet dream for companies like Meta.

    Effectively that would lock in the monopoly by huge social media platforms and absolutely no one would be able to try and make alternatives.

    That idea would raise the bar for entry into social media to such a degree that only establish platforms can maintain themselves.

    Which would make things like Lemmy, anything on the fedaverse, any third-party or fledgling social media platform…etc defunct overnight. And the only options would be existing, abusive, monopolistic, corporate managed platforms.





  • Honestly yeah it’s 100% checks out.

    I have device that has ECC ram and I can keep it online and applications running for well over 18 months with no stability issues.

    However, both my work computers and my personal computer start to become unstable after about 15 to 20 days. And degrade over the course of 1 to 2 years (with a considerable increase in the number of corrupt system files)

    Firefox and chrome start to become unstable after usually a week if they have really high memory usage.
