IDEs have had subscriptions for ages. The build server is a cloud service because local machines can be slow to compile and not everyone has an on-site build server.

It’s Japan. If anything is promoting drug abuse, it’s the work culture.

“Manufacturers and tech companies have a bigger role to play”

Yeah Apple is already making the parts junk with the locking but it doesn’t seem to help.

So what are the alternatives? Android and even more spying? Degoogled Android and having to log into the website for your bank every time you want to send someone money?

Apple’s the devil, but when your alternatives are “Devil Plus” and “Lose access to half the stuff you even need your phone for”, I’ll stick with the Devil.

I’m no conspiracy theorist, but if I needed to discuss anything legal, I wouldn’t want to do it near a phone. Or a newish car. Or a smart TV…

The list of things that could be listening to us if there’s a vulnerability for the 3 letter agencies to exploit, is ridiculous. And outside of phone and desktop operating systems, few things get regular secrity updates.

Would a surge protector be enough? I’ve never owned one, but I’ve considered putting my PC, router and (in the future) NAS behind both a surge protector and a UPS.

These are both made by the same person from this PR (who also made both the package the PR is on, and the is-number package that is being removed as a dep)

And let’s not talk about C++…

Don’t worry, people make plenty of jokes about C++ too.

Hell, people joke about my favourite language too - Cargo build times are a meme unto themselves.

I don’t think there’s a truly great dependency management system there. Though all in all, I’ve generally had no MAJOR issues with Cargo, Maven or Gradle.

As always, I think regulated markets are the best - don’t go full planned economy, but don’t let corpos do whatever they want either.

For when Asahi Linux is acting up but you need to drive

Which is funny because if I’m ever in the market for a NEW car again, I’d gladly pay an extra grand just to not fucking be tracked.

A horde of developers, so to speak

There may have been a period in my late teens after I’d read an article about them running out of condoms where I wanted to become an elite athlete so I could go to the Olympics just for the fuckfests. Teenage me was obviously hoping to score with someone from the Brazilian volleyball team or something.

Well now, despite having the genes for it (and no, this is not a joke; I have more genetic potential for athletic performance than at least 90% of the population, as does my entire family, which does include Olympic athletes), I never had the discipline. But then I found a woman who I’m crazy about and this has lasted slightly longer than an Olympic fuckfest, so I reckon I’m not missing out on all that much. Though I suppose an orgy with a bunch of super fit people is never going to be in the cards for me, but I’ll survive.

I remember there was an alt right leaning silver collecting sub shortly after. They were convinced it was going to shoot up a billion times in value. Like Gamestop was supposed.

nearly a decade

It was the god damn 2016 election, wasn’t it? That’s the period when I noticed the rapid decline.

Guys, we found him!

Chrome cryptominer when

KDE Neon?

Once met a man who said he loved assembly language because it was so much nicer than punch cards and FORTRAN, but C was OK too.

This was last year. In his defense though, he’s been retired for years, used to work as a professor.

Worked at a company where the previous devs had implemented their own frameworks for front and backend. Obviously 200 was the only possible code.
