  • S&Box went open-source and the comments are very calm

    Jump

  • These are pretty calm messages to an Australian and Garry is British, so culture checks out.

    // What the fuck// Fuck dynamic compiling.// what the fuck is this shit// What the fuck, why isnt this a method

    Should this by the by commentary be there?Not really.But as a programmer, I understand each and every time I see something like:

    // Urgh this is so dirty, Invalidate() and Refresh() do nothing.tButt.AutoSize = false;tButt.Width = maxWidth;tButt.Height = maxHeight;tButt.AutoSize = true;

  • Does anyone have banking app recommendations for Australia?

  • As you can see, I too have made a "least bad" choice for pragmatic reasons.

    I take no pride in correcting you.

  • Actually, if you hit those 3 dots on the top right and select "All Permissions", you'll see there's a whole host of things it demands that you can't opt out of.

  • Jellyfin 10.11.0 RC9

    Jump

  • I think the feel from the Devs is that there isn't enough new functionality to justify the major version bump, this primarily being a reimplementation of existing features.

    BUT, I agree with you, it should definitely be V11 under the semantic versioning scheme.Whilst there is a migration path here, the database changes under the hood alone are likely to break backwards compatibility with all plugins (with in-house plugins being upgraded in sync).Such breakage is kind of the defining characteristic of a MAJOR version.

  • When something still uses micro USB in 2025

    Jump

  • It's commentary like this that leads to so much industrial equipment (printers, scales, barcode readers, PLCs etc) still having RS-232 on them.

    And dammit, you're right, that stone age shit just works.

  • Does vibe coding sort of work at all?

    Jump

  • If you "vibe code" your way through trial and error to an app, it may work.But if you don't understand what it's doing, why it's doing it and how it's doing it?Then you can't (easily) maintain it.If you can't fix bugs or add features, you don't have a saleable product - you have a proof of concept.

    AI tools are useful, but letting the tool do all the driving is asking for the metaphorical car to crash.

  • Telepathy will be real once we master brain computer interface

    Jump

  • The concept of direct brain interface is both exciting and terrifying.We struggle to secure offline systems against determined attack, and my brain is not a test bed.

  • By the end of Trump’s term

    So, when he dies?Because if ever there was US president who intends to try for "President for life", it's this guy.

  • I can't think of a standalone gui app that does this (and a simple google search didn't find one).If you have a gui desktop (gnome,kde,xfce,lxqt,enlightenment,budgie...) it will have a built in function in it's settings to do this, or leverage one of the parent ones (ie budgie is based on gnome, lxqt on kde).If your custom environment is pared down to the point where you don't have an equivalent to gnome-system-tools and don't want to install it, you might have to just use date at the command line.

  • This is basically a botspam talking point.It doesn't matter.If you've got bad cables, you should do the same thing you would do with a bad iPhone cable or any other cable that no longer serves its purpose - recycle it.Now buy another cable that's actually good, if you don't know which one that should be, maybe find out which ones your phone provider sells.This is a self correcting issue over time.

  • Sometimes, it's backwards

    Jump

  • Sounds like you’re stuck in a worst practices mindset.

    Worst/Pragmatic.If I get a timeline for a feature request, then everything can be scheduled, tested, whitelisted, delivered at a reasonable time.That's the rarer event - normally it's more like "the scale head has died and a technician is on the way to replace it" and whilst I modify the program in question to handle this new input, hundreds of staff are standing around and delivery quotas won't be met.Is my position arrogant? This is the job.

    Sign your damn releases and have the whitelisting done by cert.

    I'll see if this is possible at the site in question, thank you.

  • It IS bespoke internal development, not for deployment outside of the facility.The computers running the software exist only to run this software and have no business talking to the internet at all.IT is provided by an external third party vendor who operate on an inflexible "best practices dogma".

  • Sometimes, it's backwards

    Jump

  • In a rapidly churning startup phase, where new releases can and do come out constantly to meet production requirements, this one size fits all mentality is impractical.

    If you refuse to whitelist the deployment directory, you will be taking 2am calls to whitelist the emergency releases.

    No it can't wait until Monday at 9am, no there will not be a staged roll out and multiple rounds of testing.

    I am more than willing to have a chat; you, me and the CEO.

  • I have a friend group that insist on all events being planned through facebook.I've missed out on events in the past due to not taking part.It's no longer a hill I wish to die on.

  • What's inside the QR code menu at this cafe?

    Jump

  • I agree and use Signal myself.But people like the extra features of WhatsApp like desktop/web clients with seamless history sync and all the other little things that WhatsApp provides.The average Joe doesn't even think about security or privacy, they just know that the results of using WhatsApp are superior than using SMS.iMessage is a non starter everywhere out of the US, it just doesn't have the market penetration.As an Australian, no one I know (many of whom own iPhones) talk about the blue-green bubble stuff.They recognise where the fault lies and simply don't use the app.

    Jump

  • In certain places like India, WhatsApp is the default means of communication for everyone.You can use it without phone data if you are on wifi, it supports better quality than sms for sending images, you can video chat with it, it's cross platform, etc etc.

    What's more amazing to me is that it's not more popular in western countries.

  • did you hear that Dr Disrespect tried to make a comeback the other day with a Deadlock stream?

    Jump

  • Nah, that was worth watching.
