I wouldn’t say I’m in control per se when I don’t have the option to just do the update whenever I feel like it. I’m in control the same way a prisoner is in control of whether or not they eat that day by just not eating. Like, put it behind a giant bold unmissable piece of text that says “IF YOU DO THIS YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR MACHINE AT RISK AND HACKERS WILL IMMEDIATELY STEAL ALL YOUR MONEY” but don’t make it so it’s impossible for me to do without some workaround.

Have you got a more specific search term for Gemini? Unfortunately the word has been taken by Google

It’s a bit hacky but I suppose there’s always the option of using a separate WebDAV server on the directory where frappe drive stores its files. I haven’t tried something like that, though. Unfortunately I don’t know of any integration within frappe drive itself. Seems they’re accepting contributions now so it’s possible these will be implemented in the future. WebDAV is a bit of its own beast, though, so that’ll be a huge undertaking in my opinion.

And then their non standard file format turns out to just be a zip file or gzipped JSON data 😂

Doing this gives big bow to the machine energy for me, I don’t like it.

Holy shit, microplastics are defined as fragments smaller than 5mm??? I thought it’s way smaller, 5mm is big enough to see with your naked eye!

I assume that word also means something else than what I’m thinking…

But it’s good that viable alternatives exist in case Microsoft ever considers shutting down the Java edition.

I had never even considered that as a possibility but now it seems all too possible and I’m gonna have to sit with that for a while…

I’ve actually used this to my advantage. I bought some cheap speaker/light combos which basically made the lights dance to the music. The only power connector was a wire that comes straight out of the device and into an outlet. But it did have a USB port for loading music from a USB stick. So naturally I plugged one side of a USB A into the port and the other side into a power bank and it just straight up worked.

What’s a sane, dynamically typed language?

I prefer a hybrid approach. A document explaining some common things to do and generally the idea behind why the API is structured that way (shows me you actually thought about it, and makes it more logical to find different parts of it without necessarily looking it up), and then an API spec showing all the parameters.

Not to rub it in, but in my forties could be read as almost the entirety of the modern web was developed during my adulthood.

From the stories I’ve heard from corporate software employees, this does sound like exactly the kind of thing you gotta do to show some manager the guy is buddy-buddy with that they’re actually not doing their job. And even then they didn’t listen.

We have to work under the assumption that most development is done by inexperienced or, to put it bluntly, bad programmers. I would MUCH rather have bad JS code than bad assembly. One may crash a single tab in my browser, the other may crash my entire computer.

For the uninitiated

This level of effort is probably geared more towards those who create the torrents, not those who consume them.

I’m imagining a scenario where you’re working on a feature that changes the DB state (e.x. introduces a new DB migration that changes some columns) and the bug is on an unrelated part of the code from your feature. In this hypothetical, going back to the state of the upstream branch would make your local environment non functional, and the bug is on an unrelated part of the code. Fairly specific scenario but hey, you can worktree for that. It’s not particularly thorough, though.

I think they meant “all of this is what might happen next”

But yeah even then social media will still continue to somehow have an ever increasing number of “users”

I sympathize with this. People on the spectrum already have a hard time just living, then they have the extra hurdle of having a hard time communicating their hard time. It feels very human to want to hide the struggle, it makes you feel more like you belong in the world and that you are just one of the other billions out there being “normal” and doing “normal” things. That’s a longing that I’ve felt, but I’m fortunate enough to not have felt it to the degree your father seems to have. I hope you and your brother find a way to get through to him.

I mean, it’s just like collecting baseball cards. Just because I enjoy collecting them, doesn’t mean I inherently have to jerk off to them more than the next guy
