So back to cable packages. Fucking dumb

Tired of the constant pop ups in windows 10. The constant upselling of their product.

An OS shouldn’t get in the way of what you are doing and Windows was always popping up some bullshit.

Employers can go suck a big fat cock.

If the enployee can communicate with their managers and co-worker in English when needed and talk in an other language when they talk between them, there’s nothing wrong.

Lemmy is a social media after all, and we have to assume that what we write is public.

Lemmy is great because many instances allow people to create accounts without an email, so you can create burner accounts if you want.

This isn’t an oversight. If you aren’t comfortable with the coversations you are participating in or the upvote/downvote you make, you either don’t participate or you create a burner account for that.

If you stick to popular free software, the jank is limited.

The Linux userspaces have a lot of enthusiastic people that create their own software and share it, and thus it seems like there is lot of janky stuff (because there is).

It feels like Windows has been captured by corporations and so the market is competitive. There isn’t much space for enthusiast developpers to tackle a different vision of a popular software.

So yeah, I agree with you, lots of janky software in Linux, but that’s the beauty of it IMO. If you stick to popular softwares, the jank is somewhat equivalent to Windows.

You’ve used Windows for so long that you don’t remember how it was when you first started using it.

This isn’t different than what you are doing with Linux. The flow gets better and better and you will acquire the experience needed to navigate the issues. It takes time, that’s all.

I know that already, I’m fine with what I said.

My comment was misguided because it didn’t take the US social context into account.

You can’t say it, but I can though.

Categorising Palestine Action as a terrorist group is ultra dumb.

Same, and I use portainer to manage my docker compose stacks.

I can bring down a container without bringing down the whole stack of services.

No we shouldn’t. Anyone can create an instance and scrape whatever data.

Assume that all the posts and comment you make are public and linked to your real identity and don’t say things you wouldn’t say in person.

It’s a pretty simple concept.

It’s not a call for violence, so that’s cool beans

Yeah, I opened the website thinkint it would be the github list with a better search, but it’s 95% AI crap

React tutorial are like that. You create a simple HTML page with a script and the script generates everything.

I had to do a simple webpage for an embedded webserver and the provider of the library recommended preact, the lightweight version of react. Having no webdev experience, I used preact as recommended and it is a nightmare to use and debug.

There was a video a long while ago where a cyclist got a ticket for not riding in the bike lane.

So he filmed himself riding in the bike lanes and crashing into the parked cars there and one of them was a cop.

It’s clear that politicians don’t give a fuck about cyclists.

This is like the 2 extremes. China with terrible human rights violation and sloppy construction and cities where even thinking about mass public transit is akin to killing puppies.

Sometimes, people do that. But using 0/1 is explicit enough since you can refer to a line as ‘1’ or ‘0’ for high/low on the hardware as well

I am a lazy dev (not really, clients always want fast code), so I use the provided HAL libraries 99.9% of the time.

But I have seen code where someone would write something like

gpio_write(PIN_X, true) 

and it always stood out to me.

I am working with C in embedded designs and I still use 1 or 0 for a bool certain situations, mostly lines level.

For whatever pea-brained reason, it feels yucky to me to set a gpio to true/false instead of a 1/0.

My uneducated kernel take. Flexibility is acceptable and desirable in small projects or low impact projects.

When the majority of the internet and a good chunk of PC are dependent on your project, predictability and stability is much more important than flexibility.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
