Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.
People can share differing opinions without immediately being on the reverse side. Avoid looking at things as black and white. You can like both waffles and pancakes, just like you can hate both waffles and pancakes.
I watch most IT/Technical videos at 1.5-2x speed. Especially tutorial style videos. Most creators use a very long and drawn out way of speaking in order to keep the viewer on the same page, but most of the time I know the core concepts already, so I don’t need the super detailed parts only the barebones.
Yeah, I understand that point of view as well, especially for feature expansions. I don’t agree with that point of view at all for bug reports /fixes though. It’s not like I’m asking for an additional feature on top of the devs’ already existing code. I’m fixing a mistake that the dev added to their code that they haven’t had time to fix, I don’t see the need of multi week or month review processes for those.
But at the end of the day I tell myself that if the dev wanted help with the project they would have made the system easier and I just move on with my life. or if it’s too much of a blocker or if it’s a small change just fork the code myself if allowed, fix it and then never bother with the hassle of submitting it upstream.
I don’t contribute to projects most of the time strictly due to the hurdles in place for contributions. if I see an issue with something, I would like to be able to properly fix it, not have to follow a multi month process to actually get it in
The last project I wanted to contribute to had the following system:
Luckily I had noticed that the timeframe of existing requests prior to doing it, and decided to pass on it.
Don’t get me wrong, a lot of those steps are necessary for proper development cycles but, it’s the extra steps that are annoying. I’m looking to quickly contribute and move on. Too many steps or if the process seems like it will be a major pain in the butt = You can find and fix it yourself.
Most projects if they have that I will at least open an issue for it so it’s known as a problem… but some projects don’t seem to want them reported, let alone fixed.
yea the only way I can see confidence being stored as a string would be if the key was meant for a GUI management interface that didn’t hardcode possible values(think for private investors or untrained engineers for sugar/cosmetic reasons). In an actual system this would almost always be a number or boolean not a string.
Being said, its entierly possible that it’s also using an LLM for processing the result, which would mean they could have something like “if its rated X or higher” do Y type deal, where the LLM would then process the string and then respond whether it is or not, but that would be so inefficient. I would hope that they wouldn’t layer like that.
I want to add onto this that if you’re choosing between Lutris and Heroic, you should probably go heroic. I personally use Lutris myself, Mostly because I prefer the UI design of it. However, heroic does have a faster update cycle, while having built in support of Amazon gaming, epic games(including experimental cloud support) and gog, and doesn’t have the bugs that Lutris has. Especially when it comes to trying to run GE layers through it.
Trying to get those first party storefronts to work on Lutris is, for lack of better words, a pain in the ass. I’m only still using it out of pure stubbornness because, like I said, I much prefer the overall layout.
Fair, I have a handful of dev friends who I know don’t know “why” a command or script works, just that it does, so I guess that statement would likely help them.
Not the person you asked the question to but, for me it was dogshit music selection. I dislike radio music, my forte of music is almost exclusivley EDM based. Spotifies selection for glitchstep/dubstep/chillstep was a joke when i was looking into it. Plus I heavily disliked their leaning into requiring an account to even listen.
No, I was curious about it so I looked it up, it’s a secondary first party terminal app it seems, I was wondering as well cause I didn’t see how the system could even function without it. Powershell and Command Prompt are still available it’s just terminal has the ability to merge them into one app it seems.
I love the warning note
Sudo for Windows can be used as a potential escalation of privilege vector when enabled in certain configurations. You should make sure to be aware of the security considerations when enabling the sudo command on your machine.
What do you mean a master-key/privilege escalation tool can cause a privilege escalation vulnerability, who knew 😂
Most chromebooks can be put into a dev mode(which requires factory reset…) in order to install a new OS on it. I have done it a few times.
being said, with how low power they are, they can’t really do much but what chromeos can do.
I just need a spare weekend or two to make the swap now and throw wine on it for the games I play that refuse to run on Linux.
if your primary storefront is via steam, you likely won’t even need to manage wine, steam will do that for you as part of the install process. You can use something like protonup or something to get GE editions of proton but, honestly it mostly works right off the gate.
Just be aware that proton can have conflicts if you try to use it on NTFS drives, you’ll need to manually specify UID and GID for the drive (via fstab or however you manage mounting drives) or you’ll get permission errors that won’t actually say what they are unless you ran steam via the terminal.
nah that’s a separate department and they deliberately keep that book as far away from the overall study as possible.
is datacenter ram really not usable on personal PC’s? I figured it was the same as consumer ram but with ECC features, but I haven’t gone out of my way to try and buy any.
I don’t use twitter either, its blocked by choice on my DNS blocker but, the majority on the platform are not a pedo, regardless of the owners of it. It’s still really the only valid mainstream option for content creators. Do you have a better option? Because I know bsky or lemmy sure as hell aint going to get the job done for them (they have already tried that and went back due to lack of usage.)
its a circle, creators aren’t going to leave the platform because consumers are there, consumers aren’t going to leave because creators are there. The only real hope of that changing is either twitter screwing up so hard that they can’t stay, or a superior alternative being made that allows both the creator and the viewer to leave at once, so far bsky has come to be the closest but has still fallen short.
edit: changed tone and wording to be less aggressive.
In the case of content creators, you go where your audience goes. Almost all of the content creators I watch went back to twitter and almost exclusively post only live notices and social updates. I don’t have one that has a good opinion of the platform but, there’s a much larger audience there so therefore they stay.
Visibility is everything, and there are many steps between following you off the platform and not engaging with your stuff. Many will not follow a creator to an alternative platform if it means having to juggle an additional network, they will just let that creator fall out of their interest group.
I know for a fact I wouldn’t be on lemmy if I still used reddit, so any content creator I followed there I dropped. It is too annoying having to juggle multiple social media platforms.
I really expected the ending to be the guy letting the door close on the cop and running off. The fact the cop just let the door free after him being trapped in that room was crazy.
Wait did this actually happen?
I just had to look it up, that’s actually really funny as a way to try and hide latency issues. this won’t work well with bad networks though, I could see 1 or 2 frames being delayed or missing but, that’s still a funny way of trying to fix an issue that is a pipeline problem.
Yea, its a big reason why I try to avoid FE like the plauge! As soon as you learn what everyone is using, everyone is using something else, or its going through a major rework that changes everything.
Whats dumb is this issue is very easily resolved by encrypting the users security pin or password against the bitlocker keys and then only storing that.
or better yet have the pin/password an isolated thing from the microsoft system, so when a key gets uploaded, it requests the recovery pin, and if the pin matches it uploads, otherwise it states invalid pin and offers to change it while warning that it will remove existing keys, then optionally next time a system whom contains a drive with an identifier (which wouldn’t need to be encrypted only the key) goes online, it can prompt the user “note: due to recovery pin, drive X recovery key needs to be backed up again, would you like to do so?”
This type of system would make it so the only data MS has stored is the already encrypted recovery key, and as such would mean that the data they gave law enforcement would be worthless.
