DevOps is bad because for some reason we’ve decided to invent new programming languages that you can’t debug locally and so you have to keep pushing commits to the pipeline server. It’s bullshit.

“Why do you write all your pipelines as shell scripts and then wrap them in yaml at the very end”?

Because then I can run them locally quickly and test individual components of them instead of “edit, commit, push, wait 10 minutes, read error message, repeat”.

I have a gwatch 4 and the hardware is fine. The flaw is Google’s half-assed android fork WearOS, and then the layer of Samsung software that somehow makes it worse.

You could have infinite memory and processor in there and it wouldn’t solve the jank.

I dunno, these extreme tall phones are a pain to type on. Keyboard usability seems to be defined by the squareness of the phone.

C is simple in the same way that a circular saw with no safety features is simple. I like having fingers better.

Some men just want to watch the world burn

C++, but a very ugly and oldschool dialect of it.

Rescheduling an event in Google Calendar with your voice. You can still schedule a new event.

This feature is underutilized because I could never get it to work.

He’s having another one, I guess.

Google messages (the only real implementation) still sucks at automatic failover when a data connection is unavailable.

Google Messages RCS is basically flip a coin on delivery if you don’t have consistent data for your phone.

And yet rents don’t go down.

Supply and demand applies here. These equity firms rent those homes out. So as they amass more and more housing, rent should be going down as there are more rental units on the market.

Unless the problem isn’t the equity firms. If the problem is just that there just isn’t enough housing, then it doesnt matter if you’re looking to buy or rent, somebody is going to outbid you regardless. Which is what is happening.

I’m always confused why people go to such lengths to find anybody to blame rather than the people who actually govern building housing: municipalities.

I’m actually kinda sad that Kissinger is dead, because it means he successfully went his entire life without facing consequences for his war-crimes.

He died a free man, instead of dying in prison.

Ugh, this means I’m going to have to store a bunch of .FLAC files I ain’t ever going to use for the sake of peace of mind.

I have one of those Lenovos for reading comics, and they’re great. Nothing amazing but you can’t beat the bang for your buck.

I do that occasionally but since the stale “Active” is the default it’s easy to forget.

Ooh, I just found you can change the default!

edit: isn’t this kind of a “you’re holding it wrong” problem? I mean, the default behaviour on Lemmy is awful, not just for this but also since iirc it didn’t default to showing my subscribed communities at the start either.

The high volume of unoriginal Linux content is getting old, and that’s coming from somebody who uses Linux.

I can’t really complain about the content being a bit stale when it feels like the alternative is nothing. So many communities that had vibrant counterparts on Reddit struggle to get one post per week. If it’s ditto-memes on Lemmy, I’ll take it.

Imho the big challenge is just lack of throughput. I follow many communities, and it’s still not at the point where my front-page is consistently new content every day.

Feed the beast. Until then, quit whining about how repetitive the content is - there just isn’t enough of it yet.

The fact that this meme makes sense to anyone demonstrates how dynamic typed programming languages cause brain damage.

Anybody remember Nexus Q?

Even for experts the user experience is shit. Too much has to be done manually when the default should be automatic, like fetching before pull, recursing when working with repos that use submodules, allowing mismatched casing on case insensitive filesystems, etc.

I feel like the back action is the one that trips me up. It seems like a coin toss in Android whether “back” is handled as “undo navigation” or “up to parent level” but YouTube seems to do the one I didn’t expect.
