You use something that’s constantly connected. I’m fine with letting another server handle that part without self hosting

To see what happened you need a bot running saving messages.

Just use matrix, it’s good enough to replace IRC

It depends, if you work in a statically typed language you can just use a tool to refactor. I bet a ton of advice is from JavaScript programmers where it’s simply not safe to do this.

My first job doing JavaScript I realized the IDE’s refactor tool wasn’t aware that two variables of the same name were in fact a different variable. Due to how scoping works, it’s hard to write a reliable tool to rename variables for JS. I accidentally introduced a bug renaming a variable.

I’ve never appreciated design decisions made before starting to code. I always have to refactor later when my requirements change or when I realize there’s a better way to do something.

I’d rather be a bad programmer that gets stuff done than a good programmer who’s just jerking off about proper design

The fingerprint doesn’t work on Linux last time I tried

Yes, because it doesn’t have biometric support on Linux

Bitwarden is not usable on Linux desktop, keeps asking for password. The password can’t be too short, so it takes some time to type it in. I turn off my computer when it’s not needed, so I would just need to type in the password when I turn it on again.

Anyone have a better solution?

My Mastodon instance uses a 500 character limit

Also, short form content with just a few sentences per post sucks

Objectively, it is. Billions of people have been lifted out of poverty during my lifetime

My old laptop doesn’t have an M.2 slot

It ran fast enough in windows 8 and linux. It only became unbearable on windows 10

My hard drive couldn’t take all the background shit in 10, it would literally stutter scanning my files. When I tried to disable the anti-virus and it told me “I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that”

Windows 10 legit doesn’t work with hard drives. It keeps scanning and scanning endlessly, slowing everything down. If you go down the “disable useless services” rabbit hole you might go too hard and end up with a useless Windows install without being able to remember how you disabled the firewall, for example. It wouldn’t let me run the update without the firewall service running.

I just threw NixOS on it and only booted windows once since

People have to understand email addresses, domains, the DNS system just to decide which email provider to choose. After that they still need to find people to email.

This email thing will never catch on /s

I thought the complaint is that they couldn’t recoup development expenses

Nice try, Satya

Is Amazon a tech company?

Google maps is already good enough as a replacement. In fact in some countries it’s the best review aggregator
