Being direct is not rude, in my opinion. I don’t know why people need things so sugarcoated. Being direct, to me, is a sign of respect

It’s an edited image, but you are darn right. Proper communication is great

Ahh, that is indeed a critical detail on the implementation not quite clear right away. To be honest I don’t trust the end-to-end encryption most of these services offer. If I want perfect privacy, I’m sticking to self hosting stuff

ey there you go, you bothered to actually read. Your chats remain with your provider!

It’s not like you were expecting privacy while sending your content through other people’s platform, were you?

No, I actually read the current proposal. Maybe try that before regurgitating random stuff that matches your opinion

The proposal only does so under specific circumstances, which makes sense. Try to read more than three words before your respond

Reading it, it looks like it doesn’t require invasive oversight as long as the chat apps and app stores have sufficient detection and such.

really, that’s what such places already should have, considering how much profit they make off of our data

Do post some!

I’m not suggesting randomness or inconsistency, I’m saying generalizing is overkill. But you’re right, “whatever works” might be taken too literal by some

You’re absolutely right that depending on your autofill is not a good general approach either. Then again, you shouldn’t be guessing at these either

I’ve worked with changing conventions in different teams. In the end people are not going to come up with some name and whether it’s myOldThing or my_old_thing won’t matter much. Usually I just follow whatever the team I’m working with prefers

I don’t like to sticking to generalized naming conventions when autofill or intellisense is a thing. Make your names clear in whatever way you think works best, and developers still using vim can set up autocomplete using an extension or something

I’ll be checking that out

Some people complain not bring able to work, and then grind “dailies” and other bulls####

Some unit tests might have been lacking. But yea. I personally like to keep things simple, but a lot of tech companies seem to prefer quite the opposite sometimes

File systems have a record where the binary data for a file like a photo is stored. That’s deleted, without that you’d have to extensively scan the whole memory and hope to recognize that a chunk is an image file.

Whatever Apple is did in this update, it’s probably not good

ungoogled chromium. Takes a bit of setup to get it secure, updating and work with the chrome web store. I write my own extensions apart from the ad blocker.

it’s a browser, with no extra crap apart from the option to extend it

You can get 12V power dividers that plug into a 120 watt laptop adapter, if you keep your energy requirements down it saves quite a bit of space, noise and cost

It’s basically a vm without the drawbacks of a vm, why would you not? It’s hecking awesome

When your grandparents were young, racism was still considered somewhat normal. And in cartoons, popular media, etc… there was a particular depiction of people with a dark skin tone that was used in a derogatory manner.

Recreating this appearance on someone’s face was later termed “blackface”. And less complete variants of it are still considered offensive by some.

I can’t place myself in that perspective, but I think I’m lucky not to have been part of that culture.

A microwave oven should do the trick

I’ve got a couple machines running Kingston A400’s well over their rated spec, those are decently fast and start at about 30 euros
