It’s likely they were trying to get the news riled up so they could cause a moral outrage that would attract attention to the game.

The issue is some updates don’t contain just security fixes, but rather privacy invading features and advertising that make the OS shittier.

If you ended up with a file open and don’t know how to get out, there’s a good chance you shouldn’t be changing that file in the first place.

A library running .2s slower will get flagged by your perf testers and you’ll need to get escalated approval to release your changes. It will be a pain.

Love it when my coworkers reformat the code style, making it nigh impossible to understand what they actually changed, while greatly inflating their “contribution.”

It also blows away the git blame, making it hard to know who actually changed that one critical line of business logic 3 years ago that you need to understand before trying to fix some obscure bug.

I have one coworker who does this constantly and if you just looked at git blame, you’d think he wrote the entire code base himself.

We all know Linux users most likely have some greasy, Cheeto dust-covered fingers.

Why aren’t the booleans like “facts” or “no cap” for true and cap for “false”?

Also, you could have exceptions be called “Sus”

I don’t use Linux too much, but this matches my experience… I have a raspberry pi 3, running a home automation server.

One day I go to upgrade a plugin for it. It tells me I need to upgrade the home automation server first, so I go do that. It fails because my Node.js install needs to be upgraded too, so I do that. Then, I try to upgrade the home automation server again, but that now fails with a strange error. Stack trace says something about a missing C++ lib in my Node.js install, so I look it up. I try to install the missing library, but it gives more errors. I do more searching and find loads of other people with this issue, my raspbian version can’t support this C++ library version without first being upgraded. Damn, well, it’s midnight and I have work in the morning, I don’t have time for that. I try to get my home automation server up so I can go to bed, but it fails due to problems with the Node.js install. Can’t go to bed without this server running or my smart home accessories don’t work. I try to downgrade to the previous Node.js version. This fails with another error. Couldn’t upgrade, now I can’t downgrade, I’m stuck. I read a thread on GitHub… other people are reinstalling the OS from scratch and starting over. Damn… I start trying to backup my config files so I can do this too. One more check of another post on GitHub and I find some guy shares a command to downgrade Node.js without a fresh OS install. Perfect! I run this, restart my home automation server, and go to bed. Maybe I’ll try to figure out this problem another day.

That’s a lot of money, but same sentiment in the opposite. I would avoid any dev job requiring me to use Windows. Chances are they’re also using some crap tech stack too.

Agree. Windows sucks ass. Most professional software developers I know use MacOS actually.

But why did they default to zsh?

Regarding OCR theory, the screen never shows messages. It only will read them aloud because you’re driving and shouldn’t be reading your texts.

I like Mozilla, I respect their mission and their good nature. I can’t help but feel the billions they receive from Google make it too easy for them to be, at best, unfocused and, at worst, lazy. They offer a lot of random services like this. I fear this play is just chasing another possible mediocre revenue generator for them. Like pocket, like Mozilla vpn and private relay, etc.

I feel called out

I use Mac and also open terminal often. Then again, I’m a software engineer and I have work to do, that doesn’t include trying to troubleshoot problems with my OS.
