I’m just buying a cheap <insert product here> is a common excuse for over consumption

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

Batman v Superman is great, it just doesn’t fit the usual super hero movie tropes in my opinion. The ultimate edition is awesome

It would also mean that you can’t use extension that modify the page, not only affects ad blocks but things like blocking Facebook “like” buttons or Google trackers. Right now we need more people to use non-chromium browsers, like Firefox, so hopefully Chrome looses market share and with it Google starts loosing control over the internet.

I think he is talking about the 70% of the world that uses Chrome/Chromium based browsers

This is the result of the world blindly using Chrome and other Chromium based browsers. Now with effectively full control over the browser that more than 90% of the world uses Google can force its will on the internet

This is the one I’m thinking of switching to

I chose sh.itjust.works but since then I’ve realized that it would be better to support instances that are local to me so I think I’ll move to an Australian instance. Supporting local instances might help with regional growth
