Same here. I can already feel the adrenaline increasing ... :-P

Dutch + secure + azure = oxymoron Now that the US is a hostile nation as seen from europe trying to do anything 'securely' on azure is an utter waste of time and resources.

The flash runtime was a closed source binary riddled with security vulnerabilities with a huge attack surface running with way too much privileges. I don't think it was sandboxed at all. It was a disaster waiting to happen.

As an animator it's a shame flash is dead. As a (somewhat security conscious) internet user I'm very glad it's dead and buried.

I see 'fn void main()'. There's probably a good reasson but why the 'fn'? It doesn't really add anything because 'void main()' already communicates it's a function. The main draw of C (to me) is

Good for you it feels that way to you. But then you need to check how the LLM refactored stuff. Because (a) you never know if it's actually correct and (b) the code needs to be maintained into the future, so you need to know how it w

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm not saying LLMs are 'bad'. I'm not saying they are not useful. But to me personally they take out the fun parts from my profession. My role changes from coming up with solutions to babysitti

I'd go along with 'authoritarian' . But autocrat implies people holding on to power/ consolidating power outside the system. The EC is still democratically chosen, albeit indirectly. There is no real sign (yet) of the st

The EU is more of a bureaucracy than a real autocracy. Lots of members with veto powers and the like. There is a lot wrong with the EU (the system). Opaque power structures, backroom deals, corruption. But I wouldn't call it an autocr

I don't see anybody called out by name. To me saying 'product X is so bad, it's coded by monkeys' is not really a personal insult to a specific coder, but a decrying of a company. Hell, if I would be a github engineer I&

I think it's healthy, even necessary, to utterly distrust microsoft (or any large compny, for that matter). And while I don't think it's a-ok to call an individual microsft employee a monkey by name I think it IS a-ok to say

by maybewhenthesun 11mo ago
All companies are 'a group of people'. But that's not how you treat them. You should treat the individual employees of microsoft as the people they are. You should treat microsoft as a whole as the evil entity it is (TBF they

The problem with 'something like SDL, but 3D' very quickly turns into a full blown engine. There's just such a combinatorial explosion of different ways to do things in 3D compared to 2D that 3D 'game engine' is eit

I mean VM86 is not really a VM in the modern sense of the word. And the author doesn't seem to know.

Tell it like it is! Here in the netherlands as soon as you try to do something, the farmers start flyingh upside down flags. I call them the 'head in the sand' flags since they stand for ignoring the problems. I fear the problem i

Yes, because with a closed source you can also just download the source and add your own patches and maintain your own fork... /s Most open source projects have way more patches contributed than the core developers can handle, so they

by maybewhenthesun 11mo ago
Amen to that! I think I remember there was some communication between ID and Charles Sandmann about CWSDPMI, so even though it's worded a bit strange for an open source project there's probably some thruth in it? Also a bit strang

That's true in theory. But as you can see in practice is that google does very little to protect their users, while F-Droid at least tries . Which shows that the whole 'security' rigmarole by google is bullshit.

In my experience simple bugfixes are nearly always accepted without fuss (in active projects, that is. Some project in maintenance mode where the last commit was 3 months ago is a different story, because then probably just no-one can be ar

These kind of announcements always suffer from 'creator knowledge bias' and never define their terms ;-) "What is the Avalonia MAUI Backend? At its core, the Avalonia MAUI Backend enables you to keep your MAUI codebase while

While there's sometimes maintainer-prima-donna egos the contend with there's also this: Any patch sent in also needs to be maintained into the future, and most of the time it's the maintainers that need to do that, not the pe
