I was going to go into a rant about Ubuntu and Snap but then realised you were talking about Snapchat, show how much I use any of those big tech “products”

I think the ideas that android is an open os died a long time ago. If the android flavour doesn’t have the Google Play binaries it is next to useless

As a Trekkie it looked awesome to me but to my civilian friends it looked like made for TV garbage, then they saw it and loved it

Star Trek First Contact

My proof reading has failed me yet again (original fuck up: Star Trek First Conact)

Australian here. I see in America a similar pattern than what happens here, one party (conservative) receives a functioning government and proceeds to fuck things up with absurd policies while at the same time immediately claiming credit for the state of the country as soon as they get into power. Takes years to change the momentum of a country and by the time a new party is elected the country is almost bottoming out at which point the new (left leaning) party spends most of their first term fixing things up only to get blamed at the next election for being in power when things turned to shit. The electorate will never understand that a new government needs years to undo the fuck ups of the likes of the GOP. This time the Dems haven’t had enough time to fix up all the stupid shit the GOP did last time so I expect these next 4 years the country to hit rock bottom while the GOP is still in power and it will sadly be a moment of “Americans got what they voted for”

You just killed us all by putting a space between the dashes

This is not mildly infuriating this is the free internet being eroded through Google’s control of Chrome

That there is a god (or gods)

Try to let go of Google everything. Start by ditching Chrome and Chromium based browsers

My new Hyundai Kona Electric still has those and I think all of Hyundai’s new models (EV or not) still have them

DuckDuckGo on Firefox. If you truly want to de-google your life avoid Chrome and Chromium based browsers like Edge and Brave

I know XML is very last century but if they could coexist in one file, a file that treats each config section as an object, so we can create a Project Object Model, call it pom for simplicity, and then if you are old store it in xml and the you could have only one file and call it pom.xml and then maybe one day someone can make this very useful file a bit more modern and turn it into json or yaml but for now a single pom.xml could save us from that config hell others speak of /s

Code created by a LLM still needs to be interpreted and understood by a human so it can be made useful in a software development context. So yeah the article is exaggerating the impact of AI for coding I think, in my opinion it will become yet another tool at a developer’s disposal to speed up their work

What the fuck did Vigo do to you

Modern keyboards are an evolution of the old typewriter that existed before computers as we know them and programming as we know it existed, so I would say keyboard came first

Never underestimate the risk of an attack coming from the inside.

Also once you have an implementation with a certain kind of authentication other devs are likely to copy what you have successfully deployed and then your security assumptions will make it into public facing code without much consideration

And then we both lie to the client
