Yeah well you didn’t include tan suit scandals so it doesn’t count

Once we had a “sr developer” join a project from a consulting group. The project wasn’t going well so me and another dev started helping with some tasks as well.

After a couple days of helping, trying to get his web application to work with data from an API he turns to us and says “oh, json is just a string.”

The other developer from our team stared at him for a few seconds, stood up, walked out of the room and told the project manager something along the lines of “if that guy ever comes back in the building I’ll quit”

So yeah, json is just a string… But if that’s the end of your knowledge you’re in for a bad day.

I really appreciate this change. Prior to it was always a struggle to deploy servers successfully. You’d reboot and your database would be on the wrong interface and you could even remote in because the management interface was suddenly on a firewalled external only network. Ask me how I know.

With virtualization and containers this just got more complicated. I would constantly have to rewrite kvm entire configs because I’d drop a new nic in the machine. A nightmare.

Sure, it’s gibberish for the desktop user but you can just use the UI and ignore the internal name. Not even sure the last time I saw it on my laptop. So no big deal.

As a pedestrian in one of the mentioned cities, this is accurate. We have an ok bus network but the schedules are terrible and getting around on foot is dangerous and it’s like 100 degrees out with 90% humidity. Very few people put up with it and literally no one will because of this.

Thanks! That makes it weirder… But good to know it’s on my side.

I assume incompetence over malice. Which is to say it’s probably a bug or a mistake setting up the model. The user isn’t selling anything so it really seems like some sort of bug

Sure, I doubt it’s intentional https://www.printables.com/model/2676-ethernet-plug

No, went directly to the model from my download collection. The creator doesn’t have a store tab or a support me/club button.

Have an open mind. It’s 2024 for crying out loud. If they identify as a bird then of course they use birds rooms.

The sensor stuff for the adaptive vibration? The first screen in that section of the video is a big feature card like they put in the upgrade tours which let’s you turn it on or off.

I don’t know. The sensor stuff sounds pretty gross but the assistants are already listening all the time so they probably got a good understanding of the battery usage and hopefully privacy and later they point out they’ve made significant battery life improvements.

The Bluetooth find my device stuff is icky but I’m using my Bluetooth basically 24/7 so the auto re-enable settings means nothing to me. I honestly think most people turn it off and get annoyed later when it’s not on so that’s probably a pretty compelling improvement for them.

There were some security wins too like the private app area, encrypted network controls and network monitor warnings.

So privacy dead? No it’s basically the same. kinda just another megh update from Android. Moving forward but not wowing anyone. Google is too busy putting all their resources into ruining their trusted search reputation by making it lie to everyone to invest in a real android update.

I wish someone would shake up the phone market again so we could look forward to these updates again.

I’ve had to entirely wipe my kde config folder enough times because I dragged a widget and created phantom toolbars taking up space I couldn’t interact with or completely broken toolbars that I just don’t have the patience to use it anymore.

Don’t know who this person is but I have a hard time taking him seriously calling people children while reading out the emails like I high schooler dishing gossip and dismissing transphobic moderators as a “whoops”

So using react will get you fired? I knew it!

Most closely represents your values or has the best chance of representing your values?

It’s not the maga group Biden needs to convince. Doubling down when they’re already all in doesn’t mean much.

He’s trying to win an election so it’s the various “I don’t want to vote for Biden so I’ll vote for trump or not vote” in swing states people he needs to be moving. To those people, Trump trying to go on an unhinged Twitter tirade at a debate could be persuasive. At least that’s what a lot of Dems, and according to this GOP, think is going to happen.

Had great luck with polymaker and find they’re in the sweet spot of predictable quality and price for me.

Seen a small company share a nextcloud server running on a old VMware cluster with 2 cores and like 8g of ram allocated… What are people doing with their nextcloud servers?

Fwiw, this is not an endorsement of Windows. I strongly believe if most people spent half the time they spent fighting Windows learning Linux they’d never go back.

It’s a pretty mixed bag honestly. Sure there are some apps that we get in a mammoth poorly made appimage we’d probably have to have run in wine before or some terrifying statically compiled program embedded in a run script and that’s probably a win.

The trade-off is every developer being their own distro maintainer, 100s of gigs of duplicate dependencies, broken containers with missing libraries, leaky requirements on the underlying system, and everyone needs to be a security expert to understand all the options in flatseal to expose the right features.

Also, instead of one distro source, I’ve got at least 3 and I’ve in the last week had to install programs from multiple sources trying to get a functioning version. This feels like the norm rather than an exception.

Also this week had an app image broken by a requirement on a removed system library outside the app and a flatpak missing a key library forcing me to dig up an old .deb version. The later I lost like 6hrs on because clearly libusb was installed on the system but I didn’t realize I’d installed the flatpak and in wasn’t in the container. Such fun.

So it’s not really all sunshine and rainbows yet.
