Its like having a junior developer with a world of confidence just change shit and spend hours breaking things and trying to fix them, while we pay big tech for the privilege of watching the chaos.
I asked chat gpt to give me a simple squid proxy config today that blocks everything except https. It confidently gave me one but of course it didnt work. It let through http and despite many attempts to get a working config that did that, it just failed.
So yeah in the end i have to learn squid syntax anyway, which i guess is fine, but I spent hours trying to get a working config because we pay for chat gpt to do exactly that…
For me its been almost 0%. :) Very happy with it.
Flatpak has annoyances like sometimes not following your icon theme, or just generally looking out of place because not picking up system defaults.
It works but I avoid it. On Arch Linux, there is a huge AUR repository where users have made native packages, and thats usually much better than Flatpak. But on Ubuntu, Flatpak is the only option sometimes.
Why do people want to ask complete strangers instead of making their own decision?
That must mean that they value the opinion of total strangers more then their own. Isnt that a mindfuck.
Strong nostalgia.
I wanted to like them but I dont know, I think they are more natural at the top still.
I have a colleague who even saves all his tabs using a plugin, just in case he will need them at some point.
I dont know, I never have problems finding what I need so dont need to save anything.
Tab groups are great though, I need them so I can have groups with our aws accounts at work. That way i can just quickly get in to any account.
Where is big tech in this picture? They are the ones making the billions from it.
Governments should be funding the most popular open source software that the world relies on. And big tech should not be allowed to just take it and make billions from it. That was never the intention. It was open source because profit was not the end goal.
I liked the concept but the reviews have not been amazing. I hope you like it, because I would love to have one if its actually good.
I probably can, yeah. Its just that it feels like I lose trust in a brand where such things break so easily.
I know its not comparable, but my external keyboard and mouse has worked for probably 6 years now without a single problem. Why is it so hard to put quality components in a laptop. Seems like cost savings. And those machines are really expensive.
Thinkpads used to be quality machines, but my last two laptops broke after just a year. One was keyboard, other was mouse pad.
Is it really that hard to put quality components in parts that are physically touched a lot?
Im going for some other brand next time but they all kind of suck now it seems.
Never met a trans person working in IT but ive seen a lot of them on Lemmy and Mastadon.
So I think its just a social media thing. The ones that exist are very active and cares deeply about being visible online.
Depends on your setup. If you use a 4k screen with fractional scaling in Gnome, Pycharm and all Jetbrain editors have blurry text and run under xwayland.
But vs code works fine, also zed and many others.
I would check out Pop OS instead of mint. But you can easily boot both of them from usb stick and look around and get a feeling before you choose.
I moved to Plasma… And I still dont think those rounded buttons looks good in 2025.
1984@lemmy.todayto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•muskrat's data eng expert's hard drive overheats while processing 60k rows39·4 months agoI bet a million bucks the harddrive didnt “overheat”.
Its just someone who doesnt know anything about computer hardware.
Its like me saying my car overheated if there is smoke coming out of it. I know nothing about cars.
No… Android and android apps are not the web…
Yeah I dont know why people dont do this. Then an overall description of the script at the top is enough and anyone can just look at function names to see what is going on.
I guess its also our culture where sex is seen as the most important thing in life. So everyone is convinced their entire value consists of how much mating they are doing. Maybe that would be true if we were breeding animals but we are not.
