I feel burnt out on professional development, but at least for me tech debt is not the issue. Everything is imperfect after a while, because requirements change all the time and overall it’s not me accruing the debt. That’s why I don’t care.
Really? I just used a passkey for the very first time with Google and Bitwarden and it worked quite nicely. What about passkeys is worse for you?
True, but social media amplifies the dumb shit and creates new incentives and pressures to join the idiot herd. And while TikTok is definitely not the only problem, it is a problem.
Considering that all the landmasses on earth could fit into the Pacific, that number sounds surprisingly low. But the math does check out.
Looks like their Pro plan is 9 Euro a month, which comes to 108 a year. It’s on sale now for 5 Euro. Still 60 a year and definitely more than the 30 OP mentioned.
When it came out, I saw the trailer and decided that it’s not for me. Way too scary. Then recently I watched a commented speed run and thought “Yep, I was right”.
Oh, that’s cool. Now I just need €680 for a Steam Deck.
I already have a PS5, so the Steam Deck is much more tempting.
You get to pay billionaires to watch millionaires play a kid’s game.
I’ve been doing home networking for many years now and the public Domain + Cloudflare DNS + Let’s Encrypt is the easiest it’s ever been.
There is really no reason to use self-signed anymore. I use Let’s Encrypt even for 10.0.0.0/8 addresses.
Our phones back then were actual potatoes and we wore them next to the turnip on our belt, as was the fashion back then.
I think that’s wishful thinking. The vast majority of people simply don’t give a shit. While the enshittification of Windows continues, Linux numbers will slowly go up. But I’ll be quite surprised if I see it go over some significant margin like, say, 25% during my lifetime.
I am so old that I worked with SGML. Compared to that, XML is a lovely language. And sometimes I still miss writing XSLT to quickly transform some XML documents. These days you can do similar things with JSON, of course. But it’s not as easy and standardized as the XML tooling.
I remember the time when YAML meant Yet Another Markup Language.
To paraphrase: There are two kinds of markup languages. Those that people complain about and those that nobody uses.
There is no silver bullet that will work perfectly for all use cases and we also don’t want to use 100 different tools. So people use things that aren’t perfect. But they’re good enough. I don’t think YAML is perfect and I still use it, because people know it and there are tons of tools already available.
As shitty as it is to find your car gone, it is not theft. Theft has the intention of keeping the item, this is not true here. The owner can retrieve the vehicle later.
Thanks, I’ll take a look. These days Inoreader also shows only the summary, making it useless for me.
I know that. But RSS is like 95% used for news feeds and that’s what I’m talking about. The way RSS is overwhelmingly used is making the whole thing useless (to me).
True, but we do have the vaccine and the means to mass-produce and administer. That’s why I’m not worried about smallpox.
